La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was awesome! We reserved the King/Bunk room and were pleasantly surprised to discover that each area of the room(actually two rooms) had their own bathrooms. This made time after the pool and beach efficient since we could all get ready at the same time for our next activity. Breakfast options were plenty! There was something for everyone. Eggs, waffles, cereal, yogurt…you name it. The pool was heated, clean and a plus for clean bathrooms close by. Upon checking out the hotel manager made me feel valued by asking about our stay and seemed genuinely interested in honest feedback. Overall this is a very well managed hotel, never mind that it’s budget friendly, they’ll leave you feeling like you paid top dollar. I would definitely book again 😊"
