We arrived at 4:45pm and our room wasn't ready! Seems there was a local music extravaganza and the hotel was packed with musicians and bands and really busy. The desk manager came over and immediately upgraded us to an available premium room at no extra cost. This turned our stay into a high end resort with an ocean view balcony... More

My husband surprised me for our first wedding anniversary with at stay at the Hilton Carlsbad Oceanfront Hotel and Spa. The room was pretty standard. It had upgraded bedding and furnishings, but the standard hotel layout. It was way overpriced in my opinion. It does look out towards the ocean, but we were on the first floor so all we... More

We really enjoyed the hotel with it's pool and hot tub. The property is almost new and the rooms are very comfortable. The pool area has fire pits making it really comfortable to just hang out and visit with friends and family. The restaurant there was a little pricey, but there is free shuttle service to other restaurants in the... More

Most importantly I alway felt safe never questioning their level of security. The interactions... More

This hotel is by far the most luxurious and comfortable one that we stayed during our long holiday in California in May 2013. The room was extremely comfortable, clean and spacious. The hotel even provides in-room slippers, something which I don't see often in a US hotel. The other plus point about the hotel is the staff. They are very... More

We have stayed at this property several times and would recommend to anyone. Perfect rooms, spa was amazing, beach access was easy but not the best part of the beach in this area but you are not that far from driving to access better beach. Oh and did I mention that they have the best mattresses.....ahhhhmazing!
