Beautiful hotel along the Carlsbad Beach. Breakfast is simple and tasty and the pools are great for families to enjoy. My day was a little complicated because the heater wasn’t working and it made for a cold night, but the hotel worked hard to make it right. Jay, the front office manager and Alyson, set me up in another room to spend an additional night and I’m so glad that they did. Things don’t always go perfectly, but a business, such as this, is then given the opportunity to make a customers experience exceptional, which they certainly did. I hope to return again soon. So very relaxing.

This is my favorite best western. The location is ideal as it is in Carlsbad village and is very walkable and no shortage of things to do and see. You walk out the door and cross the street for great beach access. The employees are great at what they do and the housekeeping staff is amazing

Great location!!!!! Carlsbad Village is a super spot for food and relaxing. The beach is literally across the street from the hotel. You are 5 blocks from great coffee shops and eateries. We changed rooms after night one. The staff was extremely accommodating. No issues the rest of our stay. They have a nice full breakfast every morning 6:30-9:30am. They have a small workout room with free weights, stationary bike and treadmill. We’ll come back here because of the location and the service!

Almost perfect stay! The Best Western Plus Beach View Lodge in Carlsbad exceeded expectations in so many ways: the breakfast was great, customer service was warm and attentive, and the location couldn’t be better. It’s close to everything yet just far enough to feel peaceful and quiet. I especially loved the fire pit area and the ocean view, which made mornings and evenings feel extra special. The only downsides were the super tight parking spaces…definitely manageable, just a bit tricky if you have a larger vehicle and it wasn’t complementary like advertised. Overall, an amazing spot for a relaxing getaway. I’d absolutely stay here again! ??

Lovely hotel! Very cool, southern california vibes, right across the street from the beach, and walking distance from all the restaurants and shopping of downtown Carlsbad. We loved watching & listening to the ocean from the upper patio deck, and really enjoyed the gas fireplace in the room. That was such a unique touch and so enjoyable! I liked being able to walk to the restaurants downtown without being RIGHT in the middle of the all the noise. It was a perfect location. Good breakfast included hot foods. Nice staff were gracious & helpful. The manager Andrew helped us out with our questions and gave us some great recommendations for where to eat & what to do. We were here for a two-day couple's trip and definitely want to come back longer for a family vacation.

We booked a king suite based off the photos on the website. Don't be mislead They are not accurate Its realistically a motel 6 with a kitchenette. Old building and the bathroom didn't even have a ceiling fan, tiny old style shower . They charge $20 a day for parking on their property. Even though im paying almost a grand for 2 nights. The customer service is mediocre from thr staff. The only views of the ocean is if you walk to the front of the hotel. Our bedroom had a view of an alley. Save your $$ go stay at a better hotel. Especially if your spending this kind of money.

I'm torn between leaving a review or not. I don't want this amazing place to be overrun and become so crowded it's hard to get a room. However, Andrew and the rest of the staff at this BW deserve the highest praise. Everyone was amazing and super kind. They offered to loan us boogie boards, umbrellas, and chairs for the beach. This hotel is just in a prime location in general. It'll take you longer to wait for the cross walk to cross the street than it will to walk to the beach. Nearly everything worth visiting is a short walk away. There is a killer fish and chips spot right across the street and several delicious spots to eat nearby. (The Trap Shack and The Strawberry Shack come immediately to mind. It's strange that they're both shacks though... Huh) A train runs daily with stops to local areas and is really cheap. It's about 45 minutes and only 10 bucks a person to make it to San Diego. And the station is within walking distance to the hotel, about 10 min. LEGO land is only a 10 min drive away and the flower fields by GIA World Campus are in bloom in spring/summer typically. If you're looking for a place to stay this is it. There's other hotels nearby but this one takes the cake for it's location and friendly staff alone.

This is a great hotel, especially if you're traveling for business. The hotel was clean, the rooms were comfortable and the staff was extremely friendly. Speaking of staff, Patty is a wonderful. She's great at making people feel at home, even when home is far away.

Rooms are way too outdated and have not been updated for decades it seems. Ac unit is LOUD and rattles. Bathroom is very small and claustrophobic. Peeling paint, rust, and corroded surfaces in the bathrooms. Overall unpleasant rooms. WiFi also seems slow for large downloads and files for work. The location is top notch though and it is right next to the beach. Feels like a ripoff due to the high price and quality of the room. Wouldn’t mind paying more if the rooms were renovated.

We had such a lovely stay here and would definitely do it again. The staff was friendly, helpful, and genuine. We loved being across the street from the beach and enjoyed the views from the large patio lookout at the hotel. The breakfast was great and the facilities well kept. Thank you!
