My stay at the resort was a mix of highs and lows. The location near LegoLand was perfect for my family, and we loved the spacious rooms with balconies offering great views. However, the service left much to be desired, especially during breakfast. The dining options were limited, and there were some billing issues at checkout that added to the frustration. Overall, the experience was enjoyable thanks to the wonderful views and spacious accommodations, but there is definitely room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the Westin Carlsbad Resort. The property is beautifully designed and offers a lovely setting, but I encountered some disappointing service during my stay.

While the pool area was enjoyable, the dining experience, particularly breakfast, left much to be desired with slow service and mistakes in orders.

This hotel offers a mixed experience; while the pool area and amenities are enjoyable, the noise levels from nearby attractions can be disruptive, and the service leaves room for improvement. The dining options vary in quality, and though the location is great for families visiting Legoland, it might not suit everyone due to the heavy presence of children. Overall, it's decent, but there are better options in the area for the price.

My recent stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall, highlighted by the fantastic service and breathtaking views from my room. The staff went out of their way to make my visit memorable, and I truly enjoyed the spacious room. However, the check-in process was a bit underwhelming, and I did encounter some issues with room accessibility that could be improved.
