The property is located a few blocks away from the beach which is wonderful. There is a rooftop with a nice view where you can almost get a glimpse of the ocean it is that close. The room and bathroom was clean and loved the fireplace. I also enjoyed the little garden while having my coffee. Walking distance to restaurants and close to stores and Carlsbad Village.

I was disappointed that there was no coffee machine or microwave in the room as I get up before the lobby is open at 9am.

It is a quaint property less than 2 blocks from the beach. They offer beach chairs and other things to enjoy the beach including sand buckets and shovels for kids. My room was huge and comfy. I loved the bed! It had a big jacuzzi tub although I never used the jets. I loved the couch and coffee table for lounging. There is enough dedicated parking for one car per room which was nice since I drove. Heads up there was no air conditioning in the room which I did not remember from the booking but there was a ceiling fan and a large fan in the room which weren’t really needed as I left the windows open. There was a sitting area outside the room to enjoy the sun and a nice breeze. Coffee, tea, granola and breakfast bars were complimentary and I really appreciated this service.

The carpet in my room should be shampooed if not replaced as there was a large stain but it did not detract from my enjoyment. I wish that the lobby would stay open past 4pm as I like to enjoy tea at the end of the day (7 ish would be nice).I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Location; you can walk everywhere worth going in the village and two very short blocks to the beach. Comfy bed, plenty of towels, very quiet residential neighborhood- you may notice it’s close to the Coaster tracks but I never noticed and they do pass by regularly. Someone is on site if you need assistance. I used the washer and dryer in the utility room without being charged for it. Common lobby space with Keurig, pods & accoutrements plus some snacks. Great rooftop sitting area. They also had free-for-use Tommy Bahama beach chairs, sand toys if you have kids, & extra little items in the maintenance room, like pillows, blankets, and small fans. Ceiling fan in room too.

One night I had to double park but no one seemed to mind as I put a note on my windshield to knock on the door if they needed let out as there are 11 spaces and only 9 or 10 rooms and we’re all promised a free parking space but someone must have had an extra vehicle or visitor. Encountered a small (alive) scorpion in the shower but that can happen anywhere.

Our room was lovely and our bed was very comfortable. The location is peaceful and safe, There is a 7/11 two blocks away for necessities and restaurants begin one block further. Also close to the sea, Free coffee and tea in the mornings. The man cleaning rooms was very welcoming and helpful. He was our "to go to" person if we needed anything,

In the reception area, there is a sign on the door telling us not to knock. Not welcoming. There were several times when I needed a manager. First, the hot water for tea is "child proof" and if it had not been for another guest showing me, I never would have figured it out. Then the printer, Again, not easy to use. Then we had an electrical outage which did something to our TV. There was no one to fix it. Final note: we had an incredible jacuzzi bath But beware, VERY difficult to get in and out. There is also a shower available in the room.

Stayed in the Pacific room which was immaculate upon check-in. It’s huge with a fireplace, sofa, and super comfortable 4-poster bed. I slept like a baby on that dreamy mattress. The bathroom was also huge with a spa bathtub. Nice and quiet. I was in town for a memorial service, but this room would be perfect for a nice romantic getaway. If I were a regular visitor to Carlsbad, I would happily stay here over and over. Ran into the caretaker (I don’t remember his name) but he was very kind and offered to help carry a bag up the stairs. Very pleasant experience.

It was so charming and homey unlike large hotels. The bed was so comfortable, best sleep of our entire trip ! We easily parked and did not need to move our car for 3 days, everything we wanted to do was in walking distance. The caretaker was attentive and friendly. The beach chairs and umbrellas were good quality and having a washer and dryer available was an added bonus. Will stay there again if I get the chance and will recommend to our friends.

The location was great! We walked everywhere beach, restaurants and lots of little shops nearby. We also really loved that beach chairs and umbrellas were available - boogie boards and toys too. The lounge chairs in the little deck were great hangout areas.

Parking was a little confusing and we didn’t get a response to text questions. We figured it out and it was only complicated because we arrived late at night and had the side spot that was a little difficult to identify.

Definitely get the room with the spa bath. Lol. Each room is named after a beach off the California coast. We were in one of the rooms with the spa bath called La Jolla. The room had vaulted circular ceiling with a reading nook and fireplace. It was a pretty big room for the money and clean. We loved the vintage furniture and decor, including the beauty station by the bathroom. The lobby downstairs was a nice addition to get coffee and treats and to fill up with water. The whole experience was different due to lack of a kitchen or kitchenette, but reminded us of the kind of hotel experience someone would have had from the early 1900's btw, there was a nice self-lighting fireplace inside the room we used. The location is only a few blocks from the beach, in a very quiet neighborhood where a noise ordinance is strictly enforced between a certain time of night. The site manager Tori was very responsive and respectful, and very accommodating concerning early arrival and change in stays . FREE UNASSIGNED PARK😆 There was even an EV charging station.

Would have been convenient to have a microwave or fridge in room, but I get it. With those features accessible downstairs it gave a vintage kinda feel. So it was not too awful. ☺️ The biggest thing we disliked was being local to the Amtrak railway . At night and early morning, the Amtrak trains passed through honking their horns which was pretty annoying . There was only one extremely small waste bin inside the restroom. We recommend bringing some trash bags for your waste and definitely some big drinking water jugs so you won't have to go downstairs a lot for water.

Very comfy bed! It felt like it had a memory foam topper and plenty of pillows were available. This upstairs room that I was in (Newport) could get stuffy with no A/C, but there were three fans available, windows to open, plus a ceiling fan with remote which was fine for this time of year. I enjoyed the vintage furniture, the armoire, nightstands, chairs. The refrigerator was good sized though had no freezer area. The bathroom was spacious enough with a nice pedestal sink and shelves for your various items. I liked having a number-keyed entry. The small lobby area was comfortable, and again, I like the older antiquey furniture. There was a Keurig coffee maker in the lobby with good coffee choices, and some snack bars and tea were also available from 7 a.m.-5p.m. While I saw no one in person, they were quite receptive and answered my questions quickly by text and/or email.

I kind of missed having a microwave in the room, and also a desk or table as I needed to do some computer work while there, and didn't want to sit at the table in the lobby to do it. The armchairs were comfortable enough, but a footstool would have helped a lot.

Great location & short walk into the main village area & beach. Nice terrace area at the top of the property, and quiet residential area (apart from ocean train honking its horn during the day, but I think that would be the case anywhere in the town!). The caretaker chap was very helpful when we arrived and continued to be throughout our stay.

Nothing really, apart from a hole in the window mesh that let in a wasp (which I proceeded to get stung by!)
