“This property strikes me as a notably quiet spot, which is a real advantage given its proximity to Legoland and family crowds. The inclusion of unexpected perks like milk and cookies in the evening feels like a genuinely thoughtful touch. I think the well-maintained condition and the above-average breakfast make it a solid choice in Carlsbad.”
