While the hotel offers a nice atmosphere and friendly staff, I had some disappointing experiences during my stay. The rooms were just average, and the service, although nice, came with some hiccups in housekeeping. Access to the beach is not as convenient as expected, and the fees for the resort and parking felt excessive. Overall, I'd suggest looking for better value elsewhere.

Rooms

The rooms were average with worn furniture, and it felt surprising that the facility was only seven years old. They were a nice size, but nothing special.

My experience at the hotel was quite a mixed bag. While I enjoyed a beautiful outdoor pool area and the staff were generally attentive, my check-in process was chaotic, and the noise from construction disrupted my sleep. The room itself had issues with the temperature and took longer than expected to be ready. Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying here, especially if you're looking for a peaceful getaway.

Rooms

The room was decent but had issues adjusting the temperature, and it seemed quite chilly at times. I stayed on the top floor, which gave a bit of comfort away from street noise, but it was still a struggle to find the right climate. Rating: 6

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff was truly accommodating, and we enjoyed every moment of our vacation. The location was convenient for accessing nearby attractions, and the complimentary beach shuttle made all the difference. Though there was a $26 parking fee, they communicated it upfront which I appreciated. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to return.

I had an amazing time at Cape Rey in Carlsbad! The suite I booked was spacious and offered a stunning ocean view, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The staff was helpful and attentive, adding to my excellent experience. However, I found the daily resort and parking fees a bit excessive, and the breakfast options could be a bit more varied.

Rooms

The suite was large, clean, and beautifully designed, offering a fantastic view of the ocean from the balcony. However, the street noise could be a drawback as it was right next to a busy road.

My stay was quite a mix of experiences. The oceanfront room was truly breathtaking, and I left feeling grateful for the peaceful surroundings and lovely dining options. However, there were some concerns with the room lock not working properly, which made me uncomfortable. Additionally, the walk from the lobby to the room felt a bit long, especially at night.
