Great place for the price

We stayed here for a few nights (12-29 thru 12-31-11) & picked this hotel because of it's close proximity to Legoland.
Was a little hesitant because of the reviews, however, we could not have been more pleased. We found a fridge and microwave in the room, the location was definitely great, outlet mall across the street along with great restaurants within walking distance and Legoland less than a mile away.
A lot of hotels these days that state "Breakfast included" seem to offer only Continental breakfast. This hotel offers omelettes (a different one every morning), great sausages (which reminded me of Ireland), different cereals, fruits, breads, bagels, coffee and juices.
We needed paper plates and plasticware our second night to heat up left overs from PF Changs and I had forgotten to grab these items from the Dining room that morning. I stopped by the Front Desk and asked if I could still get these items from the Dining room, they said it was closed, but they would check in the back. The gentleman brought out what appeared to be personal paper plates and plastic which was fantastic.
We would definitely stay here again as we found the staff to be friendly and helpful and the rooms were good. Bottom line, if you need a centrally located hotel in Carlsbad, this is the place!!
