The deck is everything!

The hotel has an amazing common deck that is perfect for ocean viewing without leaving the property. It was the perfect place to recover from any ailment. The ocean breezes and views are very much healing!

Ordinary but spacious

A very ordinary-looking motel located across from the very busy Carlsbad beach. The room was very large--a suite, really--but plain of decoration and with cranky, difficult-to-control air conditioning. If you are looking for beach access, it's fine, but Carlsbad Blvd has lots of traffic. Fortunately, the hotel has free parking
