Aviara Hotels near Carlsbad

"Love staying at the DoubleTree. The staff is great, and the heated pool and hot tub are fabulous!"

"Stayed here for one night and overall this is definitely one of the better Motel 6 locations I’ve visited. You can tell this property has to maintain a higher standard because of the Carlsbad area and location near the coast. The room was clean, the king bed was comfortable, and the overall property felt well maintained compared to many other Motel 6 locations. Parking was easy, the location right off I-5 was very convenient, and despite being close to the freeway the noise level was manageable. The pool area was also surprisingly nice, and the lobby/check-in area looked modern and organized. However, my experience with the staff was mixed. The employee who checked me in was not very welcoming and barely acknowledged me. A simple greeting and a friendlier attitude would have made a much better first impression. The bigger issue happened later at the pool area. I was sitting by the pool in the evening talking on the phone, and apparently someone locked the pool gate after 8 PM without checking if any guests were still inside. I ended up locked inside the pool area and had to climb over the fence to get out. Basic hospitality would be politely informing guests that the pool is closing instead of silently locking the gate while someone is still there. Overall, the property itself is above average for the brand, but the customer service experience could definitely be improved."

"There were roaches in the room and the bathroom floor was so dirty doesn’t look like it’s been washed ever. I had to go purchase sandals just to shower. I had to take my belongings everyday because I was afraid of getting roaches. The smell of roaches was pretty strong around one room specifically. I won’t be staying here again."

"Every single member of the staff greeted us joyfully as we entered the property—so very friendly and helpful. Great location. Really nice rooms. Clean. I highly recommend out recommend."

"The funnest hotel for kids AND adults!!"

"Absolutely charming, staff was so nice, lots to do. Rooms were clean but many spot & stains on furniture"

"I loved the villas. They were very spacious and had all of the important amenities for my stay - microwave, stove with oven, coffee maker and full sized refrigerator. It even had kitchen items like pots & pans, dinnerware and tableware. The bathroom and bedroom was spacious and the living room was nice and quaint. I had a patio. My villa was downstairs. I wish there was an elevator because my luggage was heavy. I didn’t visit the store/market. I did visit Canyon Grille. The food was good but service was a little slow. My waitress and the greeter were super nice but it seemed like they were understaffed. I liked the fitness facility. I don’t use the pool. The outdoor seating areas were nice. I visited their farmer’s market and it was excellent. My overall stay was magnificent."

"The hotel was Clean. Comfy. Safe. the negative was they had no microwave available for use anywhere. The room rate was more at the hotel Than advertised."

"My wife was served a beer that had a chunk of broken glass in it."
