This property is great for beach time and family time in Carlsbad. The people who stay here seem to trend towards quiet and serene. The equipment rental is excellent and convenient. The breakfast deck is probably the best in its class, also the option to sit and eat take out or pizza with a lovely view is a highlight. The pool is warm! The staff are friendly and remember you from past trips! Very friendly and welcoming.

Beautifully taken care of motel in the heart of Carlsbad. Gorgeous views from Breakfast dining room and outdoor deck. BREAKFAST WAS VERY hot and had many choices. Parking was safe and secure in individual car ports under the rooms. Easy to walk across the street to beach.Motel pool was crystal clean and warm from what we heard..we did not use it. Next time we will get a room with a balcony. A Great find!

Our stay was enjoyable. The staff was friendly and efficient. It doesn't hurt that the hotel is close enough to the beach that you can watch the sunset, and still close enough to Carlsbad village that you can walk to restaurants
