This was exactly what we were looking for: a nicer hotel but at a more affordable price. We were pretty happy with the amenities we needed too. Pet friendly (cats accepted, not just dogs), convenient location, near the beach, decent breakfast, free parking, etc.

Great stay for the price!

My wife and I have stayed at West Inn and Suites in Carlsbad multiple times and it has become our go to when we visit there. It's clean and well serviced. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are very well maintained and laid out. My wife and I enjoyed the complimentary breakfasts while there. We like that it is situated in a quiet area, but only a short drive to the beach and the village. There are restaurants and shopping nearby. What I particularly like is the price is hard to beat for what you get. Other hotels in the area with similar amenities are twice the price or more. We will definitely stay at West Inn and Suites when we return to the area.
