Top GIA Museum Hotel Reviews

The Cassara Carlsbad, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"would stay again"

LEGOLAND California Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Legoland Hotel combines some great features with a few odd peculiarities. The rooms are fabulously decorated and have lots of features that will appeal to children - bunkbeds, televisions, lego, and a rewarding puzzle. We had a knights and dragons room in the Castle Hotel, which was spacious and fun. It had a mini-fridge, which is good, but I think we would also have benefited from having a microwave. The room is pretty pricey for what you get, and parking at $40 a night is also pretty steep. But the benefit is that you are minutes from the front gate of Legoland and can enter the park early. The hotel has a good sized pool, which we did not use since we went to the water park in Legoland. It also has a couple of play structures which are good for a few minutes' play. Each day there are lego movies outside, which was a nice touch. The downsides: the check-in process is pretty impersonal and I found it a little difficult to find staff members to help with questions. Breakfast was included in our room rate but getting into breakfast at the restaurant was challenging: we needed to be ready to wait for around half an hour before sitting to breakfast. Since breakfast is a buffet I think it could be far better organized. It was a significant problem for us since we wanted to take advantage of the early entry to Legoland."

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Just a quick overnight stay but it’s a great property. It’s tucked away from the busy streets and very restful. Microwave in the market place sucks however"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, with very friendly and helpful staff"

Best Western Carlsbad by the Sea

8/10 Good

"Itzel was great help and very pleasant everything was good except the smell of the room"

Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at the Westin Carlsbad while attending a wedding there. The location was convenient, the staff was very accommodating, and the bed was extremely comfortable. We did have a minor issue with the AC, but it wouldn’t deter us from staying here again. Overall, a very enjoyable experience!"
