My favorite response to how did I like staying there: I love my Residence! I stayed here for the better part of 3 months, and I highly recommend this hotel. All of my personalized needs were met bar none. Full breakfast daily, not the continental type. Happy hour 4 nights a week with food, beer and wine. My primary need... More

Staff is friendly, housekeeping could be better, breakfast is a disaster. Close to Legoland is the best attribute.

Got a queen with a pull out sofa (which was not comfortable, really, but it's a pull out bed...). Had a full kitchen. First thing when we got in, the smoke alarm battery needed to be changed. Beep, beep, beep, every few minutes. Went to go call the front desk....phone wasn't working, had to walk to the front. Front desk... More

We came to the Residence Inn after staying at another hotel in the same area. It did not compair. The other hotel was so friendly and positive. I found the staff to be friendly.

Chose this Residence Inn location because of relative easy access from freeway, El Camino and closeness to relatives in Carlsbad. While this is not a four start hotel down the road in La Jolla it's not priced that way either. Handy for families taking a look at the nearby flower fields, Legoland, and major outlet shopping nearby. What's not to... More

Cheaply built timber-framed hotel where every door closing and footsteps resonate and the A/C is very loud. Traffic noise may also be an issue at certain times. Rooms are spacious, clean and well appointed, if a little tired, and friendly and helpful staff are a pleasure to deal with. However I would not recommend for anyone seeking a quality night's...
