    I live in the region. Carlsbad the city was not the issue.

    I live in the region. Carlsbad the city was not the issue. It was Studio 6 that was disappointing. The advertisement on booking.com for this facility is inaccurate, downright wrong. When was the last time anyone from booking.com actually visited the property?Booking.com reputation is based on reviews from customers that use your services. Please, I implore you to have someone visit this property. This property is not a good representation of the city and of booking.com.

    Calsbad is a quaint village with walkable night life restaurants and bars. Only north Carlsbad has limited beach access due to houses built on the bluff, the majority of the town, everything south of Carlsbad Village Dr and north of Cannon Rd is unobstructed public access. South Carlsbad has several good surfing spots, and don't forget about Legoland.

    Loved that restaurants, shopping. and the beach are within walking distance. From the Tamarack Beach Resort, we were able to walk to the Daily News for breakfast, the Harbor Cafe for lunch, and have dinner at the hotel adjacent Dini’s. Enjoyed the beautiful plants and flowers that thrive in Carlsbad.

    Carlsbad is a fantastic location, especially for those looking for budget-friendly accommodations. I found some cheaper hotels that are conveniently close to LEGOLAND and the Carlsbad Premium Outlets, making it a perfect spot for a quick getaway. The area offers a nice balance of attractions and amenities, so it’s ideal for a one-night stay. Whether you're visiting with family or just passing through, you’ll find everything you need nearby without breaking the bank. Overall, I recommend this area for anyone looking for a quick trip!

    It's mostly an upscale suburban community.

    It's mostly an upscale suburban community. Lots of nice grocery stores and other shopping. I was there because my Sister and Niece live there. When I'm visiting with my wife, we like Oceanside. In some ways it's better for tourists. But it does not have the great grocery and other stores that Carlsbad has.
