Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"We booked a Family Suite with 2 bedrooms for 6 of us in our family. We were given a room on the ground floor in a building far from everything (registration/lobby, restaurants, swimming pool, golf driving range, spa, shops, parking. That suite has an old & damp odor. The cologne we sprayed were able to mask the odor. We killed 7 spiders on our first night. So my daughter reported it to front desk first thing in the morning. Therefore, we were transferred to an upper level suite in a building close to everything. We enjoyed the rest of our vacation."

Winners Circle Solana Del Mar Resort

6/10 Okay

"Went to front desk just to ask just only 2 hand towels but give a huge plastic bag to place the moist ones in and put outside the room to exchange for the fresh ones. The housekeeping came by and picked it up and waited for 20mins and still didn’t get the fresh towels. Got up and walk back to front desk again and they told will ask the housekeeper to come by again and dropped off at the room. What a hassle??? It’s just too cumbersome, inconvenient and time consuming for simply just asking for two extra hands towels…. Studio is not roomy and pretty tight. Feel like rushing on morning of checking out. We aware and knew the time and getting busy of packing and loading up…"

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

8/10 Good

"Exterior of hotel going thru remodel so messy construction going on. Lobby is a makeshift office in room 113! Staff was friendly and helpful. Location is good. Encinitas is a great area. Motel is right off freeway and short stroll (1/2 mile) to the beach. Shopping center right across the street is convenient too. Room was renovated so pleasantly surprised. Excellent water pressure and showerhead which is an important factor for me. There was a fridge but no microwave which I found a little odd. Walls were fairly thin and we had a first floor room. Loud neighbors above were stomping around at all hours and dropping things on the floor! Also anyone walking by and having a conversation was clearly heard in the room. Also freeway and road at a distance can be heard. So wasn’t a great night sleep. Coffee tea was offered and ‘breakfast’ was available but only granola bars, oatmeal packets, and muffins were out. Price was reasonable and overall a good value."

8/10 Good

"The property was clean, location very convenient. I love the coffee available during the day in the lobby. The only critique would be that the staff couldn’t keep up with the hot breakfast items. They took too long to refill the items."
