We arrived January 15, 2012. and had read other reviews reporting negatively. Well, we totally have to side with those who were POSITIVE. My family and I LOVED this place. We traded our timeshare week and locked in on a two-bedroom. The accommodations were spotless. The rooms were excellent sized - especially the HUGE living room area. The pots, utensils,... More

Stayed here for a business meeting - the meeting room was great! Location is near I-5, the beaches, shopping, etc. There is a Karl Strauss Brewery next door. The staff was very cheerful and helpful and the lobby very large and open. The rooms in the hotel were good but noise carries. New TV and in-room coffee makers were convenient.... More

I stayed here while traveling on military orders. I had previously stayed down the street at the Carlsbad Seapoint Resort which is run by the same company. Both times my experience was great and the staff was accommodating, especially one of their managers named Amanda. I would definitely recommend the place for families or for others traveling on lengthy military... More

We have been travelling for almost 3 months and this part of the trip is at the tail end of the trip. We wanted to relax in this resort before going back home and the last thing we need is to be place in a room in close proximity to any noise. We have made this request but unfortunately, not... More

We stayed in a two bedroom condo the week after Thanksgiving 2011. We attended Legoland on a Thursday and there were only 2,000 people at the park which was our goal...no crowds. This hotel turned out to be a great choice. We drove in from another state and packed a cooler with breakfasts and dinners. The condo was huge with... More

We rented a 2 bedroom/2bath condo with an ocean view. They are directly across the street from the Legoland parking lot. Their private entrance was actually a walk-in gate off the street that allowed us to walk across Legoland's parking lot to the front gate. Not quite as close as I had pictured, but it did save us the parking... More

I would like to recognize some of the positives first. The staff seemed quite friendly and open to suggestions. The property in general was well kept and clean. The pools were great. The ocean view from our room was great. Lego Land is walking distance and that is very convenient. Also, the restaurant on the property had great beer and... More

I stayed in a very accommodating 2 bedroom 2 bath which met all of my needs. Everyone had a great time and part of that was the ease, that the staff there made our time. It was an experience I soon look forward to repeating. From check-in to check-out I was met with a very low key but on the... More

My husgand and I stayed on the hotel side of the Pacific Palisades for three nights. On the positive side, the rooms and public spaces are clean and organized; housekeeping has clearly trained its staff in the basics. Good job. Parking is convenient; the lot is under the property and easily accessed by elevators and stairs. I also appreciated that... More
