I stay at the Holiday Inn at least 10 times a year for business. I have always had a great stay at the Holiday Inn. It has always been nice and convenient, being across the street from the outlet center, with lots of options for dinner and shopping. They provide a free shuttle to my business which is just 5... more

Helpful and friendly staff. Clean room. We had a second floor room overlooking the pool - a real treat. The room had a nice mini refrigerator for snacks. They give coupons for kids eat free (really $10 off for 2 kids) at Ruby's restaurant across the street - a nice feature. The hotel provided shuttle service to Legoland - saves... more

After reading all of the positive reviews, I decided to book this hotel for spring vacation for my wife and two boys. The hotel looks very dated from the outside. Our entry door was steps from our car. While convenient, this place had more of a motel than a hotel look and feel. This was our first stay at a... more

All I can say that this hotel is a perfect location. Shopping and restaurants are simply walking distance. I love the pool its huge and clean. Frontdesk agent is very accommodating and friendly.

My husband and I were looking for a hotel near Legoland that could accommodate our 2 children (ages 5 & 6) as well as my parents, who were traveling with us. We were looking to book 2 rooms. The location was excellent - only about 2 minutes from Legoland, and the hotel had a complementary shuttle to Legoland (although we... more

We were very pleasantly suprised by this hotel. The exterior seemed a little dated but we wanted a hotel close to Legoland. And it turned out that the rooms were very nice and clean, and the nice pool made it a very special stay. If you have kids, book a room near the pool. Not only is the view very... more

We stayed here for 2 nights - 2 adults and 2 kids aged 8 and 5 -to take in a trip to Legoland. The location is great - only a couple of minutes drive to Legoland (think the hotel offers a shuttle service aswell) and the Carlsbad shopping outlet is directly across the road. Our room had 2 double beds,... more
