This hotel boasts one of the finest customer service experiences I've ever encountered. This hotel was actually recommended by my in-laws. From the moment I stepped inside, the atmosphere was truly exceptional. The two ladies at the front desk, along with their supervisor, were extremely courteous and accommodating. Despite our scheduled 3 pm check-in, we arrived at 10 am and were graciously offered a tour by the supervisor, who also upgraded my room to one with pool access and suites at no additional charge. Upon inquiry, I discovered that the hotel is family-owned, which resonated with me as I work for a family-owned store and appreciate their dynamic and energy. The happiness of the employees was palpable, from the front desk staff to room service and the breakfast hostess. It's evident that they are treated well, with some staff members having over 15 years of service, and speaking fondly of the hotel's owner as a kind family figure. The hotel's location is ideal, situated directly in front of the pedestrian lane that leads to the beach, next to an excellent seafood restaurant, Harbor Fish, where I highly recommend trying the fish tacos MUST TRY THEIR FISH TACOS! It's also 5 min walk from the little Mom and Pop stores and restaurants. I've included some photos of their breakfast buffet, which, while not as extensive as some larger hotels like Hilton, was more than satisfactory given the exceptional customer service. Breakfast with a beach view!? Yes please! read more

Great location right across from Carlsbad beach and within walking distance of restaurants and shops in Carlsbad Village. We stayed for two nights to spend a casual weekend at the beach. They have parking under the building. The grounds are nice while the rooms are a bit dated. They have a small outdoor pool and fire pit, as well as a small outdoor deck overlooking the water that is connected to their guest lounge where they serve complimentary breakfast. The breakfast was decent and included hot and cold items, such as eggs, bacon, pancakes, yogurt, bagels, etc. the rooms are a bit dated, but a decent size and have small balconies. The bathroom was very tight. We found the room to be clean. They also said they have beach toys and equipment available to borrow, but we didn't use them. read more

Best Western Plus Beach View Lodge - Love it! Best view kind staff everything's clean easily accessible!! thanks Gladys for a wonderful stay - Hotels Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Great location!!!!! Carlsbad Village is a super spot for food and relaxing. The beach is literally across the street from the hotel. You are 5 blocks from great coffee shops and eateries. We changed rooms after night one. The staff was extremely accommodating. No issues the rest of our stay. They have a nice full breakfast every morning 6:30-9:30am. They have a small workout room with free weights, stationary bike and treadmill. We'll come back here because of the location and the service! read more

Best Western Plus Beach View Lodge - Sign in front of hotel - Hotels Near Me - Carlsbad, California

This was the loudest hotel I have ever stayed at in my life! Kids running around screaming and jumping over the entire hotel. About 25 adults in the courtyard around the fire pit drinking and loud. Only stay here if you're in your young In your 20's and drinking until you puke and pass out. That's the only way you are going to get some sleep! read more

Rooms were spacious with a great view, and the property has been partially updated, though it still shows its age. Unfortunately, the elevator had a strong odor. What stood out most was the lack of hospitality. We arrived early and were denied access to all amenities, including bikes, the beach, and the pool. There was no effort to make us feel welcome, which was disappointing in a hospitality setting. read more

Well, what a great place to stay when in town. The deck and breakfast area over look the ocean. There is also a nice carry out or sit down place across the road. The pool is small however useful. read more

Almost perfect stay! The Best Western Plus Beach View Lodge in Carlsbad exceeded expectations in so many ways: the breakfast was great, customer service was warm and attentive, and the location couldn't be better. It's close to everything yet just far enough to feel peaceful and quiet. I especially loved the fire pit area and the ocean view, which made mornings and evenings feel extra special. The only downsides were the super tight parking spaces...definitely manageable, just a bit tricky if you have a larger vehicle and it wasn't complementary like advertised. Overall, an amazing spot for a relaxing getaway. I'd absolutely stay here again! read more

Lovely, roomy accommodation. Clean and comfortable with a good flat mattress - no sagginess here! Nice breakfast, kind staff. Easy check-in and check-out. Great location just across the street from the beach with an awesome view. Easily accessible parking and elevator. read more

We are in town to see my daughter and her new husband. Dinner down the street and stay here overnight. It's a nice BW Plus but room 55 is not the special you might think. A end unit that has a huge nice tree in the view. And the single pane windows allow noise from cars n bikes & the singer across the street which I can only hope Won't go to two am. Closing time California. It's a nice room , just don't expect peace. And , I do. Yes , I know the beach is not quiet. But at almost $300. I should get silence as desired. Update: The sleep was great. It did get quiet. Room 55 is across from the breakfast lounge and fresh coffee. We decided to stay here for breakfast and eat on the deck. It is included with our stay. Our view this morning will be Overlooking the sea under umbrellas. Actually quite nice. And flocks of Pelicans flying above the sands. Only area I ever see them. Later we will drive down the coast towards San Diego. Maybe stop to shop at a surfer shop. Only place to get a great T shirt that shouts California. Update Breakfast was xlnt. Can't beat the view. read more

It was impressive that Best Western has you pre-register before your stay. What impressed me was that they actually read my request for an upgrade from a king bed to 2 double beds. Mary called me to let me know what was available and asked what I would like! Wow, that is amazing!. I'm Diamond select at Best Western, globalist with Hyatt and Diamond with Hilton. I stay at many hotels, and they never read my requests... until now. They go above and beyond here! I tried to check in early, but the room wasn't ready. The lounge/ breakfast room on the 2nd floor is a hidden secret. It's open throughout the day until sunset. They have a Nescafe machine that makes coffee, espresso, cappuccino, mocha hot chocolate. Amazing! They also have fruit and tea bags. The view at three lounge is stunning! The outdoor terrace is also nice but is not covered so may get hot. The hotel has boogie boards, Tommy Bahama umbrella and chairs that you can use. We really enjoyed using them at the beach. Around 230pm, they called me to let me know there was a maintenance issue with my room. I showed up at the front desk and Mary upgraded me to a king suite or a fireplace room. She personally walked us to the rooms so we can decide which one we wanted. Room 53 is a great room! It was clean. The fireplace was going. You can see the ocean from the window. Mary also comped my parking fee of $18/day for the original room not being available. Breakfast was standard Best Western. Pancakes, potatoes, bacon, runny eggs, Bob mill oatmeal (could use better toppings), yogurt, waffles, bagel, croissant, special K cereals, etc. They're a little better than some Best Western. Staff at breakfast was nice but had trouble keeping up with the bacon consumption. Overall, the service was excellent here. Mary and the gentleman (didn't get a name) at the front desk that works evenings were the 2 that stood out, but everyone that works here are great! I had a great stay and will definitely return again. I highly recommend. read more

I needed to get away for a day or two so I booked a room for two nights. The pros: right across the street from the beach and beach umbrella, chairs and towels are all provided. These were the reasons why I chose this hotel. Also, it has a small pool and a few lounge areas. There's a coffee maker, mini fridge and microwave in the room. Cons: Parking is extra (although not crazy expensive), no restaurant onsite and the dining options nearby within walking distance are so-so. The breakfast provided was just ok, we skipped it the 2nd morning there. There's no water filling station (there is water available during breakfast hours) so unless you buy water bottles you won't be able to make coffee in your room. No hot tub and if there's someone else in the pool, it feels awkward since the pool isn't big. The street in front of the hotel is pretty dark at night and it seems that there isn't much of a night life there; a pizza place I walked to was closed by 9pm and it's still summer time. I would go again if I wanted a chill time near a quiet beach AND if the price is right. In my opinion anything over $250 per night for this hotel is too much. It is a beach area but the area in general is lacking. read more

Best Western Plus Beach View Lodge - Small lounge area facing the beach - Hotels Near Me - Carlsbad, California

We chose this hotel on hotel.com for its reviews and location. We booked two rooms and were given 55&54. Our room 55 faced the street. And a tree blocked the ocean view but we didn't pay for ocean view so I was ok with that. The problem was the other room we booked was double the size and had a nice sink area and bathroom. It is obvious this hotel was an old apartment building and I'm not sure why the one room was so much smaller. The bathroom was dated and if we were staying longer than one night I would have been very disappointed. The positives now...The location of this hotel is AMAZING. Right across from the State beach. And the upstairs patio was perfect for beach view and people watching. Breakfast was basic but lots of options. Overall enjoyed our stay. read more

Just spent two nights at the Best Western in Carlsbad. From the moment we checked in, to the moment we checked out, we felt welcome & well taken care of! Front desk attendants were nice & helpful. The breakfast that is included in the nightly rate is amazing! Wonderful selection of everything!! Irene in the breakfast room is the best! She keeps that place stocked & clean & was so pleasant to chat with! The view of the ocean while eating breakfast was the icing on the cake! We will for sure stay there again in the future! read more

S.uper small bathroom H.ardly any "Ocean view" from the room... Although you could stand outside on the balcony and see the ocean in the distance. I.nconvenient parking. I drive an F150, no "big tires" or anything but couldn't get in or out of the truck in the cramped parking. T.otally unwilling to address the fact that I didn't get what I paid for. The owner of the location was really un appologetic for the missleading booking. He made two comments that struck a nerve: "That's not us, that's the online marketing for the property" when I expressed to him that I had paid for a room with an ocean view. "We pride ourselves for being 100 steps from the beach" I was 100 steps from the lobby in the room they gave us. We have been here before and left great reviews, but the difference is clearly what room you are in. This stay we were in #37, directly adjacent to Pine street... The Fire Truck route in or out of the area, the Harley with loud pipes up the hill and the light where everyone revs their engines at all hours. The noise from the street reverberates in the ground floor parking and rattles you from sleep. This was meant to be a quiet weekend to celebrate our 23rdwedding anniversary but instead became weekend of being annoyed from them moment we checked in. read more

Best Western Plus Beach View Lodge - Uncomfortably small bathroom. TP rolls force you to lean to the right! Maybe it was supposed to be an armrest? - Hotels Near Me - Carlsbad, California

For the price this is a great place to stay. Check in was fast and easy and the parking is easy for in and out. The room was large and bed was comfortable. Bathroom wasn't the best and I am not a fan of the sink being outside of the bathroom. We also had a broken set of blinds on the window and at no fault of the hotel the noise from outside was easy to hear. The location is wonderful, you are across the street from the beach and it's only a couple blocks to the village with all the stores and restaurants. The hotel will also give you a chair and umbrella to take to the beach with you. read more

First time staying here and wish we'd found it years ago! Location is fantastic. We are just a cross walk away from being at the beach and just a few minutes walk to several restaurants, coffee shops and it's central to town. Right on PCH so it's an excellent hotel to stay in for the annual half and full marathon too! Covered parking for a minimal fee with an entrance door right into the property from your parking space which is super convenient. The social areas are a favorite of mine. A fire pit with several comfy chairs to kick back and relax with market lights over head and at the front of the property, on the second level there is another lounge like area with chairs lined up that provide a view of the ocean and it's a prime spot to relax and enjoy the sunsets. Large patio sets also nearby too! In the room we reserved we have a king bed and a balcony that provides us an ocean view. Mini fridge and microwave. I especially like that the bathroom sink and vanity area are completely separate of the tub/shower and toilet area. Considering the location, it's pretty quiet and you don't hear the train too often either. I've never stayed anywhere where the next day they inquired about how our day went and in our case how we did in the half marathon. It was so nice that he stopped to check in with us and just have casual conversation. All in all, HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will come back! read more

Visited relatives who lived in Carlsbad. This is where we stayed for a week. First impression was: wow.. great customer service even late into the night, when we arrived! The room was clean, well maintained, and nicely cooled down. There is a scenic balcony overlooking the beach across the road. Amazing breeze and a great way to watch the sunset. There were also washer and dryers onsite, which supported ApplePay, which was nice. An elevator allowed one to get to the different floors with heavy luggage. Stairs in various places to allow for folks to get to other levels. There is free wifi and the bandwidth was great. Was able to stream movies, access VPN(s), and get some work done while near the beach. They also had a free breakfast bar, which was nice. Checkout was a breeze as well. The only gotchas were: There weren't always enough parking spaces. We were lucky during our stay, but I can see parking being an issue during a super busy holiday. There are some mid-walkway steps which can be easy to miss, causing a misstep. read more

PLEASE, do not stay here..... Best Western PLUS , I do expect a tad bit more in overall presentation AND cleanliness. And please note ; I am not a hotel/motel snob. What's my main issue - CLEANLINESS. Lacking here. Picked up the remote control for the air conditioner- it was disgusting. Finger prints or something , gross to see. Took the remote to front desk , and asked for a replacement . Showed her it was dirty. " I don't have a replacement , I'd have to take it out of another room " - hmmmm , not a germaphobe , but wouldn't one want now, in our current COVID environment ( or come on , any time) A CLEAN REMOTE IM GOING TO BE PUTTING MY HANDS ON! Then started looking around and realized , "this place is a dump". Lampshades askew, carpet visibly frayed ( I thought a fray was a noticeable piece of something left by vacuum (( or not...)) , covers missing off switch plates. Foot stool stained with ? Shutters broken , Just gross. I certainly won't walk barefoot on the carpet . It's almost midnight and I can't move on .... I'll survive , but i get shudders thinking about it . There's better out there. Also , street is very busy and loud. (That is not reflected in my rating, it is not hotels fault the street is busy) Just yucky. Move on . read more

Old, tacky hotel with a small pool and it's not really on the beach. The room decor is 70s-80s. A guy was also trying to sneak in and there was no security. Prices are not reasonable for the mediocre quality and unsafe conditions. The Manager also refused to talk to me. The one Marine veteran desk clerk was the only good thing about the place. read more

My husband and I spent the night at this Best Western as I was at a conference across the street. The location is really convenient, as it is right in Carlsbad Village, walking distance to many attractions, and the front of the hotel has a great view of the beach. There are some nice rocking chairs on the second floor that overlook the beach. Our room was very large, but very basic. It really had no real style. There was a living room and a kitchenette. There was a pull-out sofa, thus it was really a one-bedroom that could be converted to have enough space for a family. The pool area is fine, a bit crowded in, but nothing special. In general, it was clean and we slept well. We did not try the free breakfast in the morning. The location is great and if I'm ever in need of a convenient hotel in Carlsbad again, I would not hesitate to stay, but there is really nothing too interesting about the hotel itself. read more

Fantastic! Everything was excellent. We started our vacation by checking in with the friendly guest services personnel. The check in process was efficient and worry free. Every time we came in contact with a staff person we were greeted warmly with a smile. Our room was spacious, clean and had a nice view of the courtyard area. We could also see the beach from our window which was a nice surprise. Location location location! When this place advertised it was steps from the beach I was skeptical. Carlsbad beach is across the street! Just the best beach in the area. The sunsets are insane, the beach is clean with easy access to showers and restrooms. Also this hotel is just minutes walk to Carlsbad village, restaurants and shops. The breakfast that's included is great. The breakfast room attendants are very friendly and kept all the breakfast foods refreshed and the area very clean. My favorite part was the beach gear that was available for use. Traveling and not having to worry about chairs and umbrellas is a huge reason why we picked this place. From start to finish everything about this place is on point. We will definitely be staying here again! read more

I read the reviews for this place and got a little nervous before checking in, however, this was an awesome hotel. We could see the beach from our room & our room was clean and safe. The breakfast was amazing and we watched the ocean while we ate it. Staff was friendly and kind! We definitely plan on coming back :) If you want a luxury beach hotel, book a luxury hotel. This is perfect for those wanting to save money while still getting a beach view. You cannot expect luxury service and amenities for the price you're paying here. It's definitely a bargain for the area! read more

I use to come to this hotel a lot. I haven't been in a long time. They had very comfortable beds before, but now they are very uncomfortable and hard as a rock. My back is very sore from a sleepless night. Won't be coming back. read more

Rooms was soo smal for over $200 a night. Bathroom you almost have to shimmy to get into it. Older. Needs a upgrade. Our Room did have a fire place and it does face the water..but tree in front is so big you can't see it unless you walk outside. We see on second level room 55 to give you perspective. Corner unit..u would think it would be the best room on the block ..what is sad is it might be. They only have a few parking spaces..so if you go anywhere and come back late..u might have to park on the street..and who knows how far that will be. High point...staff are really nice and the fire place works. I could have stayed at Motel 6. .it about the same quality. read more

If I am hanging in this region, I am usually staying in Encinitas. But this Best Western, and its surrounding area, has change my mind completely about the type of beach vacation I would like to have. First order of business, the cons. This Best Western has the most rickety elevator I am certain I have ever experienced. I felt, for sure, that we would get trapped in it. For that reason, we took the stairs more often than not. Even while carrying our luggage up to the third floor. Also, the WIFI can be sketchy. It seems like it is very slow mostly during the peak evening hours. That aside, what a swank spot! The best parts: 1. They serve a "deluxe" continental breakfast. I wasn't certain what that meant, but it is basically a continental breakfast with bonuses. In this case, you get a broader option of fruits, jams/jellies, yogurts and also hot breakfast sandwiches. Sweet deal! 2. The beach is directly across the street from the beach. Directly across. You cross the highway, walk down the walkway and your toes are instantly in sand. *Note: The walkway down does not appear to be wheelchair accessible, and might be a slight challenge if you use a walker or have a stroller. 3. Carlsbad Village is just blocks away. Leave your car, and check out the restaurants, bars, pubs, cafes, venues and public art. Great location for just about everything you need. And there is a 7-Eleven around the corner that is something like a corner market where you can buy all kinds of inexpensive sandwiches, fruits, burritos and other treats for the beach. 4. The pool looks to be brand spanking new! I have never seen such a clean pool. And it's heated to 80 degrees. The jacuzzi is tiny, but a jacuzzi nonetheless. 5. Rooms are spacious and pretty comfy. We had a double queen. Tons of room. We could have had two other adults or three children and would have been pretty content. And while we did not get a patio, we did have a skinny window that gave a nice view of the beach. Also, the shutters on the window gave a lovely feel to the room. I am eager to return here. Encinitas, I miss you, but I don't miss you that much. read more

There's a lovely balcony in my room and I can sit there and watch the ocean from spot. The bed is super comfortable, there is a refrigerator, they have a hot tub, a swimming pool and that's not even including the amazing breakfast they have every morning. Every morning a local company caters at Continental breakfast. There are muffins, bagels, Danish, oatmeal, they have a pancake machine! They have yogurt, strawberry milk, dried fruit... The list goes on the coffee is delicious! I can highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to come to Carlsbad! read more

Best Western Plus Beach View Lodge - View from outside balcony, right next to the dining area - Hotels Near Me - Carlsbad, California

This best western is the best! The location is right across the street from south Carlsbad state beach. You are within blocks of downtown shops, restaurants and farmers market on Wednesday. The front desk staff are friendly, helpful and have a sense of humor. The rooms are clean and well kept. You do have have to pay for covered parking, but hey it is the beach right? The free breakfast offers alot of grab and go options as well as some eggs and bacon. They even offer almond milk. Very nice. There is a small pool and fire ring. But you are at the beach. Great value and location for sure. Shaka. read more

Just spoke with Lisa over the phone. As a BW member for years this is the worst interaction I've had so far with a BW rep. She sounded impatient from the start. I was simply trying to make a reservation for next week. I asked if we could get 2 adjacent rooms. She said no guarantee they'll be adjacent. Then she asked how many adults. I said 4. Then she said you'll need 2 rooms then. I'm like uhh i just said that. She quotes me a price of $219/night per room. Then I tell her I'm a member and ask if I'm entitled to a discount. Then she says it's a total of $484/night for both rooms. I'm like that doesn't look like a discount. She says she quoted me the discount up front. I'm confused. Then I said actually I was told at the last BW I stayed at that I'm due for a for a free stay my next visit because of my points. She says then you should call the BW rewards # because I don't have that information. I said I will call that #. What I really meant was thank God what a relief I will definitely call that #. Lesson learned: Don't book with the hotel directly, unless you wanna feel like a peon. read more

We spent last weekend at this property for 2nights. Location was awesome! It's a short walk to the beach, walking distance to a lot of restaurants. Our room had a balcony with a side ocean view. It's wonderful to wake up to the sound of the waves. The king-sized bed was very comfortable and was perfect for 2adults and 1 child, room was spotless. The hotel staff were super helpful and friendly too. Now, for the not so spectacular part of the review. The bathrooms are SO TINY! There's barely room to turn around, this is coming from a barely 5ft woman. The breakfast is mediocre. Jimmy Dean sandwiches, danish, cupcakes, weak coffee, and sour milk. Their selection of Tazo teas and fresh grapes were good though. Would we go back and stay at this hotel again? For the location, yes. I'd pass on the breakfast though unless they make changes on their menu. read more

Best Western Plus Beach View Lodge - A view from the verandah. - Hotels Near Me - Carlsbad, California

We drove down here to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. When I made the reservation, the guy said it would be a beach-view and you can hear the waves crashing. We'll that's a No - No! We supposedly have 1 if the best rooms. I was so disappointed. We were really looking forward to our trip. The room is nice and clean and the bed is really comfortable, but the location is across the street with no view or sounds if the ocean. Not really a beach atmosphere. If it had an ocean view and you could hear the waves as I was told, I'd give it a 5. Not what we were looking for. read more

A family of 4, we arrived late evening. The attendant was extremely courteous and helpful, but this is where the excellent experience ended. The floors in the room were very dirty. I don't believe their vacuums work properly, and it's questionable if they mop or clean the fake wood flooring. Rooms are extremely outdated with no bathroom sinks, just a tub/shower & a Toilet. The one sink is conveniently located in the room's entry with no privacy treatment, like a privacy drape, just a wide open viewing to the bedroom, so all occupants can watch you brush your teeth, shave, take a bird bath or do what you normally do in private, you're just on diplay to all. The stairways and hand railings are covered with a black thick dust, so it's necessary to wash your hands and wipe your feet before entering your dated suite. The carpet in our room was coming undone, so if you need to make a sweater while your there, you have plenty of thread. The parking, well it's very limited, in individual cubbyholes, and they typically charge $15 for this lovely ammenity. It appears the building was originally an apartment or similar in build, and I can only imagine it looked at its best when the furnishings were installed and the rooms were decorated circa 1970. We paid $467.00 for our wonderful experience/ expensive lesson. Always do your research. I made the mistake and trusted that the Best Western Brand would have Better Standards. This is my first bad experience, whereby I paid Resort prices to stay at the "Overlook Hotel" from the movie the Shining, just no bartender named Lloyd to greet me. Here's Johnny! read more

Very nice facility. Room was very spacious with a fireplace and very clean. Easy access to the beach across the street and the hotel lends out umbrellas, beach chairs, and even boogie boards.

Staff was kind however I paid $110 to stay in a room that had pee residue left all over the toilet seat and the bathroom looks like it hasn't been cleaned in idk how long. Television was also broken and its right next to the freeway so you can hear all of the cars driving by which makes it a little difficult to sleep. The rooms are spacious and have a mini kitchen but it just isn't worth the price. read more

Don't stay at this property, guest services is non existent, general manager David refuses to return a phone call. 3 weeks and waiting... 250.00 smoking charge to a couple who have member smoked in their life.

Very much a budget motel in a decent location. There are much nicer places to stay in Carlsbad, especially if you value your sleep. Car ports are immediately below the rooms and the doors are not soft close, so you start hearing doors slam throughout the complex at 7 AM every morning. Front desk staff are incompetent and the Best Western customer service are even worse. Andrew provides the only decent service at this place, but he doesn't always keep his word. Btw, they charge $15/night for parking now and they only clean the rooms once during your stay...so you're better off staying somewhere else for the price. The few dollars extra that other places charge is well worth the difference in your experience. Lots of places on the beach to choose from. read more
