Very quiet location with some rooms having views of the valleys. Pool is somewhat heated, and hot tub was nice and hot. Outdoor furniture (with great weather) made it convenient to bring in food and entertain friends. Bar is open to 10 pm so our friends could order their own drinks.

Positives: Close to Legoland with free shuttle service.

Negatives: Isolated; in the middle of office park.

The hotel was conveniently located to Legoland and the beach. I was concerned about being so close to an airport, but I only heard a few planes during our stay. The hotel offers free in-room wired and wireless Internet connections and the speed was excellent. We didn't explore much of the hotel as we had a room near a side entrance and weren't in the hotel much. It was a quiet, comfortable sleep with room darkening shades to keep the sun out in the morning. A good value for the location and the property.

Positives: The hotel offered free in-room wireless Internet.

Negatives: I received an incorrect charge on my bill.

It would have been nice if the rooms had a small fridge/microwave. Since there isn't a real restaurant in hotel this would have been great. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and will probably return again.

Positives: Comfortable, clean and quiet. Very nice.

Negatives: Would like to have had a free continental breakfast option not an expensive must pay one.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 22 Apr 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

Overall, this hotel is good for families. The breakfast buffet was good and the location of the hotel was also nice.

Positives: I liked that the Marriott had a restaurant inside so it was easy to get to breakfast.

Negatives: The walls are paper thin so you can hear your neighbors talking and their TV.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 08 Oct 2010 rated 5 out of 10.

It was clean, but did not have a clean feel. Not what I expected from a Marriott chain. Would not stay here for more than 1 night. Check-in receptionist looked bored and definitely not friendly.

Positives: It was okay to stay at this hotel because it was only for 1 night, not more.

Negatives: Unfriendly receptionist at check-in.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 13 Aug 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

Overall it was a very nice hotel. The information folder in the room should have more info about dining services and also maps of the area (such as dining locations etc) since they didn't have a restaurant besides service for breakfast, which was very good food. The first night, shower was cold. Second night, it was either super cold or scolding hot, no in between.

Positives: Quick service and courteous. Nice and clean room.

Negatives: Shower had water temperature issues. Ice machine didn't work on our floor during our stay. Drink machine was out of water bottles for days. No fridge.

Great staff and nice property. A little off the beaten path (from I-5) and a little expensive, I thought.

Positives: The staff

Negatives: Location.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 15 Jun 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

It was a fine place to base out of on our Legoland days. Only 10 min from coast or Downtown Carlsbad. The breakfast buffet was $12.00 which high compared to some great local breakfast places with fantastic food. Pullout sofa bed worked out great for our 6-year-old.

Positives: Clean, nice location, and forest like atmosphere.

Negatives: Thought breakfast was included, but it was not.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 07 Jun 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

Hotel is clean. Staff is friendly. The experience met our expectations, but did not exceed. It is located in a business park setting, surrounded by office buildings. Location is not near the freeway or restaurants. Hotel dining facility is not open for dinner; only the bar is.

Positives: Family friendly. Friendly staff. Pack and play available for young children. Clean facility. Free parking.

Negatives: Breakfast a bit pricey. Door key reader reads poor at one entry door. Room is small. Location far from freeway.

I was thinking this was close to the beach. It wasn't. Then they arbitrarily charged a smoking fee of $250. I don't smoke but my girlfriend does and she went out on the back courtyard with several employees to do her smoking. The only thing they had in the room to buy was a bottle of water. No fridge. No microwave, nothing. The restaurant food was good but overpriced.

Positives: Bartender was friendly.

Negatives: Erroneous charges.

I was traveling with my 5-year-old grandson to Legoland and SeaWorld. This hotel is very close to Legoland in a nice, quiet location, so we got a good nights sleep on the excellent beds. We enjoyed using the pool. It was spotlessly clean. The staff was extremely helpful in recommending a restaurant suitable for children. The hotel provides a breakfast buffet that you pay extra for and it had an excellent selection.

Positives: Not on the freeway, so very quiet yet close to good restaurants.

Negatives: No free breakfast.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 29 Apr 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

Nice hotel and close to Legoland. We had a problem with the shower but the staff was very prompt in making things right for us. Problems occur. It's all how it is resolved and they did a great job of comping us a very nice breakfast in the morning without us having to ask.

Positives: Staff took care of a problem we had with the shower.

Negatives: Cold shower.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 22 Apr 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Negatives: Beds were uncomfortable, too hard.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 02 Jan 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

Clean and efficient hotel/staff. Hard to find. Had to call for directions. Breakfast not included nor were there two beds for the 4 of us. We had to fold out the couch. Fine, but we were pooped out from legoland! No pool. It was a much nicer hotel than the motels we have stayed at down by the beach, but with kids it was a bit formal and oranges and apples and coffee don't cut it for breakfast for us, the buffet was 12 bucks each extra making it way more than the other that at least offered cereal, etc. No blow dryer or fridge which I would have expected in this nice of an establishment.

Positives: Friendly staff. Clean room, way better bargain than other motels in area.

Negatives: Breakfast not included, no pool.

Maid service was late in the day, I take my afternoon nap and would miss the maid. The vanity was hardly big enough for one of us, not near enough room for both my wife and I. That aside, we had a very nice experience and would go back.

Positives: Convenient, clean nicely decorated.

Negatives: Vanity was tiny.

Overall very nice, somewhat off the beaten path, but not hard to find or get to from the freeway. Quiet rooms with very comfortable beds. Nice pool - many rooms had balconies overlooking it. Good place to stay while in North San Diego County if you have kids, don't want to spend a fortune and like getting a good sleep while on vacation.

Positives: Very comfortable beds, well appointed, nice staff.

Negatives: Expensive breakfast restaurant.

Overall the hotel was nice and we had a good experience. However, on one day we came back to our room in the mid afternoon and it had not been cleaned. We asked housekeeping to take care of it, but when we left and returned a few hours later it still was not cleaned. We then had to call the front desk and then we left again and when we came back it had been cleaned, but not as well as on other days. Other than that our experience was good.

Positives: The staff were very friendly.

Negatives: The sink and counter area was very small.

I was disappointed with the size and appearance of these rooms. I did not feel this was a 3 star hotel. The bathroom door would not shut or lock, there was no restaurant on site, nor within walking distance. The hotel was clean and if you don't mind driving, convenient to great outlets and the beach.

Positives: The beds were comfortable.

Negatives: The bathroom door would not shut, small rooms, AC set on a schedule that freezes you out during the night.

Carlsbad is a great city to stay in for some peace and quiet when you are going to San Diego. This hotel is a lot cheaper than SD hotels and you can go right down the street and ride the Coaster train into SD faster than it would take to drive. The hot breakfast was expensive ($11) but really good waffles, taters, biscuits, orange juice, eggs and meat for you carnivores. The room was clean and the AC worked great. My husband couldn't work the phone and they sent a guy up speedy quick to show fix the problem (turns out you have to press line 1 first--duh!). Basic cable channels, free wired internet in rooms and a computer with internet workstation free downstairs that you can even print from for free. The pool looked great, but I didn't get a chance to try it out. Highly recommend for a family on vacation, it's just blocks from Lego land!

Positives: Delicious breakfast, funny and helpful staff, clean room.

Negatives: It was a little hard to find.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 29 Jul 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Location, and very comfortable. I would definitely stay at this hotel in the future.

Positives: Great location! Nice rooms. Beds.

Negatives: Could hear fellow patrons in rooms and hallways.
