La Costa Oaks South Hotels, Carlsbad

"An absolute dream stay right on the beach! If you're traveling with kids, this location is unbeatable and super accessible. The food at the restaurant was delicious, but the real highlight for us was the huge courtyard and patio. The kids had a blast playing cornhole, ping-pong, and foosball while we relaxed by the firepits in the evening. There was a bit of daytime construction noise from one side of the hotel, but it didn't get in the way of our fun. We'd definitely stay here again!"

"The stuff was nice and helpful. It took no time to check-in and was a breeze to check out."

"Cool spot, enjoyed it"

"The furniture in the suites need to be updated. The couches were worn down.maybe add a mini firdge as well."

"I felt safe at the property"

"Property was being remodeled, so it was a little sketchy. Parking was hit or miss and we were charged $20 per night. Over all we loved the location and the staff were great.."

"Check in staff, pool/towel staff, and valet came across friendly and helpful as a couple who are people of color. The food and drinks from the market place were quite expensive in order to have little to no taste/flavor. Some of the food from Bob’s Steakhouse was good. Some of our food selections were dried out or very little flavor. The duck, oysters, and mashed potatoes were good. The baked potato was dried out. The salmon was cooked well, but tasted flavorless. The room appeared clean overall. But the curtain rod had what seemed like years worth of cobwebs that reached down to the lamp with a live spider that was huge. "

"Breakfast was really good. "

" Everything was monetized: (1) this was a suburban hotel with a large uncovered, ungated, parking lot on the property. Parking is free at most similar hotels. Doubletree charged $28 a night for the privilege. (2) The breakfast spread was no different in kind or quality to the free breakfasts found at at best western or holiday inn express hotels-- scrambled eggs, assortments of small yoguarts, make your own waffles, selections of breads and ceareal. Double tree chargred 25 for that breakfast buffet. (3) We were offered a delayed checkout to 2pm ( typically a free courtesy offered if requested). Doubletree wanted $25 an extended checkout. As for regular cleaning, there a noticeable blue paper trash in the hallway when we arrived in Friday and it was still there when whe left on Sunday morning. "
