Motel 6 Carlsbad, CA - East
Parking was a little cramped. Staff at front desk, when we arrived, was not the friendliest. Room was quiet and very close to Flower Fields and outlet mall. Legoland close by also.

Hampton Inn Carlsbad-North San Diego County
The only thing I recommend is having family with children be a couple rooms away from single guests. Only because majority have work early in the morning or haven't had any rest all day and are looking forward for a peaceful night. All in all the place was really great, very beautiful and clean.

The area is a bit noisy but OK when the windows are closed. I like the fact you can open the windows. Walking distance to many eateries. Overall I enjoyed my visit and would stay here again.
