Top Museum of Making Music Hotel Reviews

Carlsbad Seapointe Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Was our second time back as a family (now of 5). AMAZING LOCATION. The prices for the size villas you get is incredible. This time a hot tub was broken along with the elevator right near our room so we had to walk the whole property grounds back & forth with 3 small children to get anywhere - so I think they need to prioritize this kind of stuff more. But other than that, we love the space, price and location for our family and will likely be back next year!"

West Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Great stay with the family only bummer was that jacuzzi was closed and there was some construction near exits."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

10/10 Excellent

"The pool was small and a few of the jets on the jacuzzi were not working. The customer service was very good and helpful."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Carlsbad Beach by IHG

8/10 Good

"I reserved three rooms for my whole family to visit LEGOLAND. We really liked the hotel and the breakfast. The breakfast staff were very hard working keeping all the guests fed!!! Although the young gentleman at the reception desk was very friendly and helpful, the two ladies were rude and unhelpful. One even asked me what kind of vehicle I drove after I paid the $13.00 for parking. It is none of her business!!! The morning of checkout the other lady was too busy to offer much help and say you’re welcome after we thanked her. We will stay there again on the next trip but figured this would help make a better experience for future guests. Also the 24 hour coffee was awesome. Thanks for the stay."
