Similar to a lot of Best Westerns in that it is an older but extremely well maintained property. The public areas are especially well done with great sunset viewing. The rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. And I love the location. The motel is right on the PCH, across the street from the Carlsbad State Beach. There... More

Beach View Lodge? First of all, there is NO beach view! Oh, you can lean out your balcony & see the Pacific Ocean. But the Beach is across the street & down a 30 foot cliff. From the Beach you can just barely SEE the ROOF of this hotel. The woman who checked us in was extremely rude. The check-in... More

Stayed one night after moving to Carlsbad. Loved it! Great location free parking, breakfast, and wifi it was a nice ending to some so so hotels on our way to Carlsbad from IL More

Our small family of three had a great visit here while visiting Legoland recently, which is just a short drive (5 minutes or so) away. As others have mentioned, from check-in, to the breakfast room, to the maids and maintenance crew, the staff is probably the friendliest and most helpful that you'll ever come to find. Our room was clean,... More

The location is fantastic, right across the street from the ocean. In the morning, you can cross the street and walk down to the ocean or sit on benches and watch the waves and surfers. The people in the area were so nice, they all would say hi to me as they walked by. I generally don't like BW as... More

We stopped here for a couple of days during our West Coast trip, in between LAX and San Diego. We enjoyed it much more than we thought. We picked this location to see the Field of Flowers in bloom in April, which was pretty beautiful and inexpensive. The sunsets are breathtaking!!! We found a couple of great restaurants. 1) Fresco's... More

We have made a family tradition of staying in Carlsbad over the Labor Day Weekend and this was the first time we stayed at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the location to the Robert Frazee Beach is amazing. Just a short walk across the street and you are at the beach. The staff is the best asset... More

Had a great first-time visit to S. California. Close to all beach locations. Our room had a view of the beach.. WONDERFUL staff. (Kathy comes to mind in breakfast room/lounge). Fast walk to beach. Family can split to be at beach or at hotel. Roomy with kitchenette. Not 5 star in terms of those who are used to certain accomodations.... More

This is such a great little hotel. It's an older property that's been renovated, so it's got a classic California beach motel- sort of feel to me. The location is perfect, just across from the beach, so one can sit at the upstairs patio and look out over the ocean for breakfast and a pre-dinner beverage. We've stayed here twice... More
