Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort

the location is perfect for walking and relaxing near the beach. Smallish family friendly pool, has a hot tub adult only. Work out area, some freebie food items occasionally. Playground large area for kids to run. Firepits are available, and bar inside. Free parking in the parking garage, very convenient. Lap swim for adults 7-8am pool was nice. Kitchenette was nice and convenient. Bed was comfortable, pillows lumpy. Very safe feeling with fobs to get into most areas.

If you don't pay the $50 for early check in, you will NOT get early check in! Then everyone lines up at 4pm to check in. Checking in online doesn't mean you've checked in, we were told it has to be in person. Social hour with free apps and wine is 3-5pm, but you can't check in until 4pm! Talked with front desk people, no one mentioned the social hour. By time we got to the room and downstairs at 4:45pm all apps and wine were gone, not well planned. Housekeeping only comes once every 3 days. They do come get towels and garbage on alternating days. No toiletries, or water provided in your room. 2 coffee packets and some tea. Water in a dispenser is in the lobby or vending machine. Get rid of the carpet and put in VPF much cleaner.

Everything was wonderful. Looks even better than the pictures. Location is perfect in downtown and one second from the beach..

Nothing

Good location and nice gardens

Pool area relatively small with limited loungers. Front desk a bit haphazard with cleaning missed and needed to be chased a couple of times. WiFi went on on final night. Shutters in bedroom don't really block the light.

Very loud, could hear everything in our room including children screaming
