    The location is great, right on the beach. The hotel is very clean and the staff were also very nice. I would come here again. Breakfast was very good. The only thing I was missing at breakfast was pickles or sliced cheese but it may be that it is unusual in America. (ps. I am from Germany)

    Great location by the ocean. We had a big balcony and wonderful view on the ocean and sunset, we saw the dolphins and surfers also from the balcony. We had 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen with all necessary equipment. Carlsbad city is walking distance. Very good Carlsbad Premium Outlets in close driving distance. Parking place for the car. Laundry washing and drying possibility on the property. Good location between San Diego and Los Angeles. Very friendly and helpful staff. We stayed at Villa 8!
