We stayed at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort. It has its own entrance into Legoland. We got this hotel on Priceline.com for $125/night by bidding and naming our own price. In Priceline, it's a 4* Carlsbad hotel. You may be able to get it for lower now that loads of hotels are lowering their rates due to the poor economy.

we stayed at the West Inn and Suites from 12/26/08 - 12/29/08 and LOVED it! Amazing customer service, cozy yet modern decor, large rooms and bathrooms, free shuttle to not only Legoland (5 minutes away) but anywhere else in carlsbad, cookies and milk baked fresh every night, free hot breakfast buffet, and 2 very nice adjacent restaurants.

This hotel looks so amazing, but did you find it worth the money? i called about the 2 double king bed suite for July and they are $250 a night ouch lol

While that rate may seem expensive, the rooms are very large. I am picky when we travel and don't like sharing a room with my kids. We were origionally booked for a double king suite but there as a problem with that room so for the same price, they gave us two adjoining rooms / one with 2 kig beds and one rom with one king bed. Factor in the free shutle and breakfast and I though it was quite a deal.

We got a better price than that on their website using AAA for the double king suite. Are you a AAA member?

i live in canada and they have AMA here and we are planning on it, when i called they did give me the price for AAA but it is still like $229 or around that for summer . They said that they do not accept AMA but as far as i know it is the same as CAA which is the same as AAA just for canadians.

Ramada in on Macidamia drive, Carlsbad. $120 a nite and in a sense it was a 2 room suite. The bed were in one room and a sitting room with another tv and fridge, microwave in the other. real food. cereal, yogurt, waffles maybe a pre made omlet. all included. pool also. but too cold last year.

The hotel was new when we arrived in July 2008. The hotel comprises two buildings. We were in the second building, which had only been opened two weeks prior to our arrival. We were told that we were the first guests in that room. When we settled in, we were so comfortable that none of us wanted to leave the room; we wanted to move in. It was tastefully furnished and the room was spacious even with the 4 of us in it. The bathroom was big too and fit all of us trying to get ready in the morning. Housekeeping was nice and kept us well supplied with fresh towels and clean glasses. We had a balcony and a fridge.

The pool area was very nice and clean. There were lots of lounge chairs available and a supply of pool towels. We brought our own water toys because they didn't have any there. There is a golf cart that takes you to the Sheraton's entrance of Legoland -- really, it's a 3 minute walk to the entrance, but my DDs really wanted to ride the golf cart.

The only bad thing I have to say about this hotel is its lack of inexpensive family restaurant choices. We ate once in this restaurant for breakfast. While it was good, it really was not worth the $$$$ we paid for the meal. So, with our handy rental car, we hightailed it to the nearest Target to buy us some breakfast food (cereal and milk). For us, we like having breakfast in the hotel before heading out for the day, so not having a decent priced place to eat on the premises was a big negative.

There are some good restaurants close by this hotel:
- Pat & Oscars (in the same parking lot as Costco on Palomar Rd.)
- Rubio's, Ruby's Diner, Panda Express (in the Carlsbad Premium Outlets)
- TGIFriday's (across from the outlets)
- Karl Strauss (at the Grand Palisades hotel nearby).

Overall, a great stay and we hope to come back to this place, unless our other favourite place (Hyatt La Jolla) lures us with a better rate.

If you have any specific questions, just let me know!

We stayed at the Residence Inn Carlsbad (on Faraday). It was less than 5 mins to Lego Land. All of the rooms are 1 or 2 BR suites which was great to not have to share with the kiddos. We also had a nice little kitchen and free breakfast buffet. The hotel was clean and new looking. The have a nice pool area and a sports court (you can check balls out at the front desk).
