We have been coming to Carlsbad for 3 years and each year we come to Carlsbad Beach Inn. This place is so perfect for families. You will not want to miss all the activities this place has to offer. Once you park your car, you will not have to use it again! Everything is within walking distance.

Stayed here on our Honeymoon

  • December 2, 2006
  • Rated 3 of 5 by a traveler from Travelocity.com
Stayed in 1 bed condo. Good: Service was helpful and curtious, very short walk to beach, near-by restaurants, ocean view, beds comfortable, rooms were clean. Bad: bathroom was gross (floor coming up, tile grout brown), couch had stains, outside was covered in cobwebs, electronics & appliances are 20 years out dated, laundry room too gross to use, says it has wireless internet access but neglects to mention it's only in library. We never did get a single perk for being on our honeymoon.

We loved it!

We really enjoyed this hotel. It is within walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. It has a spa for small children (our children loved it!). The beds were very comfortable.

Best Things Nearby:
The best things that were nearby were the restaurants. There was a variety of restaurants to choose from and many shops to look around. There was the metro just a few steps from the resort, which made it very convenient to go to San Diego.

Best Things About the Resort:
The people that run the resort were very helpful and tried to accommodate all our needs.

Resort Experience:
The resort we stayed at was called Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort. I recommend it to anyone who would like to get away to enjoy the ocean breeze.

Carlsbad Inn and Beach Resort

  • January 5, 2005

Best Things Nearby:
The beach, Cessy's Tacos, the Armenian Cafe, the spa, Caldo Pomodoro.

Best Things About the Resort:
Pretty, well-maintained, lots of restuarants, shops nearby, great staff, great bed.

Resort Experience:
The Carlsbad Inn Resort was a lovely property within steps of the beach, located on the corner of Coast Highway. San Diego attractions were a short drive away (about 30 minutes with no traffic), and the beach walks here at Carlsbad were lovely.

We were lucky to get good weather--in the 70s, with only a little morning fog. The property is immaculate, and the staff is very accommodating and helpful. We hosted a holiday dinner party for about 10 old friends in the area and asked the resort for extra dishes, glasses, and chairs. They were provided very quickly. Our only regret was that we had a ground-floor unit with only a very partial view from the patio, but other than that, the property was very nice, and I especially enjoyed the king-size, pillow-top bed, which was enormously comfy.

Nearby is the Carlsbad Spa--about a two-block walk away--where you can get a nice soak in the mineral water, a massage, and facial for about $160 in an Egyptian-themed room--a nice treat. The Encinitas Golf Course is nearby and a beautiful course to play. Restaurants nearby that we recommend: The Armenian Cafe--excellent food, though a bit pricey. Cessy's Mexican food, right across the street, is very cheap. Try the carnitas taco for $2.15! And Caldo Pomodoro, a few blocks away, has delicious Italian--try the spumoni pie! And ask for Bill, the waiter--he was very enthusiastic.

The train station is a couple blocks away, and you can catch the Coaster to SD if you don't want to drive, though the times are limited to commuting times.

The Carlsbad Inn is a wonderful choice for the San Diego beach area!
