I reserved our motel room with Ramada over the internet. In the summary, I indicated that my husband uses a wheelchair. We have four in our family, so a room with two beds is desirable. When we arrived, we were given a room that was VERY convenient to the parking, but the room was not an accessible room. The room... more

We arrived at the hotel earlier that their check in time but the front desk attendant allowed us to checked in early. I asked the gentleman on where we can find a Chinese Restaurant around the area. He immediately printed us a copy he got from the internet of Chinese Restaurants near the area. He was very helpful. We came... more

I would reccommend this hotel to all who are travelling with children. Our room was 2 bedroom 2 bath, with a fully equipped kitchen (dishes etc). The room was clean, it faced the pool. The breakfast was enjoyable by all, it was nice to have a selection each day of different food items. There was some noise from the freeway,... more

The First thing I can say is "you get what you pay for". This place is priced very reasonably. The free Breakfast was the best thing about our stay. It is right next to the I-5 freeway so there is a lot of traffic noise if your room faces in that direction. The suite is divided into bedroom and small... more

I looked around for a good package deal to Legoland and the Ramada had the lowest prices all around. The staff was wonderful, the room was nice with a seperate bedroom/TV for our 6 year old son. The pool and spa werte gorgeous, and we were not to far from Legoland and the beach. The free breakfast was also a... more

The packages on our web page offer a great value and it is nice to hear that you took advantage of the savings. I am sorry that the breakfast atrium was crowded, it is a popular place in the...

Nice hotel, clean rooms. We had a 1 bedroom with a full kitchen (no dishes) and a full sized fridge. Very close to several public beaches, nice heated pool and hot tub. Full breakfast (not just continental, fresh waffles, breakfast burritos, omlets etc.) Also close to Legoland (5-10 minutes) and outlet shopping. Right off the Interstate, so you can hear... more

We visited Carlsbad in late March and stayed at the Ramada Carlsbad by the Sea. This was our second stay at this hotel. I have a review further back when we stayed in September that is much more detailed. We found the hotel just as we remembered it. Clean, comfortable and convenient. The staff is excellent and everyone from the... more

We just returned from a 3 night stay at the Ramada Carlsbad. We had 4 adults and 2 young children, so stayed in a 2 bedroom suite. We had a fantastic stay. The room, while a bit cozy, was very clean and spacious enough for all. The pool was kept clean and the kids really enjoyed it. The continental breakfast... more

This past summer we took our first "real" vacation with the kids. San Diego is a great location for a family trip with many good activities. We knew we were going to spend a few days at Legoland, so decided on a hotel in that area. The other reviews here were helpful in narrowing our choice down to the Ramada.... more

This review comes after more than a year of our stay. So take it with a pinch of more recent reviews. We booked this hotel for two nights so we could visit Legoland - of course. We thought it was really strange that they would not store the dinnerware in the room and that you had to request for them!... more

Thank you for sharing your experience from 2007. I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed. We have undergone several upgrades since your stay and continue to improve our hotel on a daily basis. As cleanliness is on the minds of many guests, we choose to provide sanitized dish packs upon request. Our hotel offers a clean, well maintained...
