yes, the hotel is across the street from the beach, but we could not figure out how to actually get down to the sand and ocean. across the street at the stoplight led us to the top of a very steep cliff. we took short walks in either direction, but still could not figure it out. if it was a... more

My family and I planned a trip from SAN DIEGO TO SAN FRANCISCO. My children wanted to visit legoland and we picked THE HILTON GARDEN INN to park it for the night. We were somewhat surprised that a GARDEN INN had this much CHARISMA AND ATTENTIVENESS. I can not do it justice. From the time we entered the lobby to... more

We first checked this hotel out on Trip Advisor and it had received glowing reviews. So going in we had high expectations. They were met right away as we were welcomed by Reid! The location is great. The sunsets are amazing. The buffet is excellent. Honestly I cannot say enough good things about the place. We will be back! I... more

Their staff is from some other planet or something. They hardly seem real in the era of bad customer service. These people go way out of there way to make guests feel wecome. Everything is great. I have nothing but praise for them. more

Just completed a 2 night stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Carlsbad Beach and have nothing but good things to say about the short stay. The location accross from the Ocean is also only about 3 minutes from Legoland and is about 35 minutes from Wild Animal Park. As a runner I particularly enjoyed running along the bluffs to the... more

This is a nice hotel overall. However, I get the feeling that the high ratings for this hotel are given by locals getting out of the city for a weekend who perhaps don't have other locations to compare it to. Maybe compared to other local options it is a good choice, but compared to other beach-front hotels I have stayed... more

We have been staying at this hotel every year for 4 to 6 days at a time since about 6 months after it opened. It started when we brought our 2-year-old daughter to LEGOLand for her birthday. The trip has become a tradition for every year since. For my daughter, it is like coming home. Since it was brand new... more
