Review of Holiday Inn Express & Suites Carlsbad Beach

Hotel is older and rooms show signs of age and wear and tear. But rooms were clean, staff was friendly and location was great. They were able to accommodate our last minute stay too. Budget friendly for the area

It was nice. I wish they didn't charge for parking for rewards members. The purpose of being a reward member is to be

To be reward. Breakfast needs to start @6 like most places. When you are on a business trip and have to be out early, it would be nice for Breakfast to start early like Hilton rewards. The room was nice. I would recommend that housekeeping ckean the soap containers, you can tell they haven't been touched. Maybe a higher toilet seat as well. Overall it was a nice expensive stay. They should allow you to get juice and something to eat at 6 a.m. when you are headed out. That would be nice. The guys at the front desk were nice. Charging for parking is kind of ridiculous when you are a rewards member. The bed was comfortable, I enjoyed my stay. Just a few concerns.

Great location & Staff

I’ve stayed at this property at least 8 times in the past 4 years & it’s nice to have consistency & know what We’re getting. The rooms can use an updating & A/C-Heater units should be converted to central if possible at some point as they’re fairly loud, but do the job effectively.
It’s a clean hotel overall & staff are usually very helpful, knowledgeable & courteous as well as try to fulfill most reasonable requests. Located close to beaches, Carlsbad city center, Encinitas & restaurants - with Benihanas literally in the same parking lot.

Terrible room

Nice people, terrible room. We walked into the room and the AC was rattling fairly loud. Realized we would be up all night listening to this thing. Requested a service. They sent a repair man. Nice man. Didn't help at all. Finally at about 3AM we just turned it off to try to get some sleep. We had a 300 mile drive the next day and were exhaused. Won't be going back to this hotel.

Room tip: Fix AC. This was a $75.00 dollar a night hotel, not $200. Way overpriced

Almost Excellent - Slimy Sheets

The microfiber/synthetic sheets are TERRIBLE - either clammy and cold or sweaty and hot. Whoever came up with this fabric should be made to try to sleep in them.
One of the elevators was unavailable for service for a short while, but that was a minor inconvenience.
Otherwise, our stay was very good.
