First let me say that you cannot beat a room with a view! If you are looking for a cookie cutter, fancy hotel, this place is not for you. If you love special touches, rooms with character, great service and a cute place to stay, you will enjoy your stay at the Cardiff by the Sea Lodge. We had a... more

We first read about Cardiff on Trip Advisor and the reviews were spot on...we were celebrating an anniversary and the staff was helpful both in choosing the right room (Tommy Bahama) and putting a split of champagne on ice for us. Very casual and frankly a little quirky the way the room was decorated but in a very good way!... more

Enjoyed an awesome time with my wife. Re-proposed while watching the sunset on the rooftop deck. It is an awesome atmosphere, beautifully landscaped. Don't miss out on the jacuzzi. We had a huge choice of excellent restaurants and local shops to choose from. Although it's was a short walk to the seashore. We had a great time! more

Cardiff by the Sea Lodge rates in the top 5% of all the best places we have stayed. We have traveled the entire Pacific Coast from Canada to Mexico and stayed in dozens of wonderful places, and they are at the top. They are very friendly and accommodating. Each of their theme based rooms are uniquely decorated including Jacuzzi tubs,... more

My boyfriend and I both live in Carlsbad, CA, just 15 minutes away from Cardiff by the Sea, however we did not discover Cardiff by the Sea Lodge until last year. On October 1, 2008, our one year anniversary, I wanted to do something special for my boyfriend, Dave. I wanted to do an outdoor romantic dinner with candles and... more

We've been going to the Cardiff Lodge every year since 2003 and will continue to go back as much as possible. We believe that a get-away is what you bring to it as much as what your environment is. We go there knowing that we'll have the beach right there and can enjoy the soothing ocean sounds. We go there... more

My partner and I found this hotel by chance when visiting his family for the Christmas holidays. We had not long been together and wanted to stay somewhere very special and unique to make our stay memorable. We arrived quite late as we checked out a few of the hotel chains first before happening across the Inn. The others had... more

Tucked away from the busy-ness of the San Diego area, Cardiff-by the sea was amazing! Everything was wonderful. We were greeted by the friendly, helpful staff, and escorted to our Sweetheart room. It was lovely! a panoramic view of the ocean, fireplace, loveseat, jacuzzi (heart shaped). We felt so pampered! Before dinner we went to the rooftop garden where the... more
