Great hotel but inconsiderate ev drivers.
Came to watch the Carlsbad marathon on Sunday. Since I drive an electric car I wanted a place with chargers. Sadly one charger was out of order and the another was plugged in but car finished charging. That car was still hogging the charger the next morning. Wish there was something that could fix that. All in all wasn’t the hotels fault. Just people need to be considerate for others. Overall Hotel was great definitely would stay again.

Wonderful stay!
We stay here many times a year and always enjoy our stay. We love the King Suite with the extra sitting room that has a sofa and 2nd tv. The rooms are super clean and the hotel is surrounded by great restaurants and shopping. We also love the good breakfast buffet and friendly staff. We’ll be back!

We really like this hotel. My only complaint is the lack of USB ports. There was only one in the room which is very unusual. We actually needed 4. Even the desk in the room had no USB ports. Very disappointing.
