Well, business is good in Carlsbad... 250 rooms including 20 Suites.

>>Business has been so robust at Legoland California’s first on-site hotel that the park started construction this week on a second. This one will have castle towers; rooms themed with knights, princesses and wizards; and a slide in the lobby.<<
>>The thinking behind the hotel project — as is the case with other theme park resort hotels — is that there are enough attractions at the park to justify more than a one-day visit. The design of the hotel not only extends the feel of the park, but also makes it more convenient for families to stay more than one day.<<
Good to see, now they need to look at getting better connections between Disneyland and Carlsbad. Gray Line Anaheim has stopped offering tours (They will still operate the Disneyland Express Airport Bus), and there is no good, easy way from the Oceanside and Carlsbad Train stations to the park. And with kids under 8, you can't take a Taxi/Uber/Lyft unless you bring your own car seats. Maybe get a deal with the NCTD (local transit district) to get a dedicated shuttle bus, similar to ART to meet at least the AMTRAK Trains.
