Top Carlsbad Hotel Reviews

LEGOLAND California Hotel

LEGOLAND California Hotel

8/10 Good
"A must one time if you have little ones that understand legos and building them. The rooms are smaller. And older. A kids hotel so expect it to be not 100% clean and piles of trash randomly. The cafeteria was like a bad elementary school chaos. The kids loved the menu but i would skip it as an adult. There is hotel row next door with similar priced hotel but 4-5stars. And bigger better pool and food/bar."
