- CBCoco B4 days ago5.0Thanks a lot to Britney, Lexi, and Dylan for displaying amazing customer service and for being sweet and nice during our stay.
- AZAngel ZavalaJan 3, 20263.0Management needs to pay more attention to issues but staff is pleasant. Front desk staff needs to show sense of urgency. Staffing is too low.
- AIalexanders inda-vilichichJan 1, 20265.0During my stay at the Holiday Inn in Carlsbad, the hotel’s operations were consistently well-managed, and staff interactions were professional and efficient across all departments. Front desk check-in and check-out were handled promptly, housekeeping maintained rooms to expected cleanliness standards, and common areas were kept orderly throughout the day. Staff members communicated clearly, responded to requests in a timely manner, and demonstrated familiarity with hotel procedures and guest needs. One staff member in particular, Todd, stood out for his consistent attentiveness and clear, solution-oriented communication. His handling of guest interactions reflected strong service training and accountability, contributing positively to the overall guest experience. Collectively, the staff functioned as a coordinated team, which materially improved the efficiency and reliability of the stay.
- KWKevin WangDec 31, 20254.0We booked this hotel through the IHG website, clearly indicating 2 adults and 1 child, with free breakfast included. Upon checkout, we were charged an additional breakfast fee, with the explanation that free breakfast only applied to 2 adults. Update: The owner later reviewed the bill and refunded the incorrect charge. I appreciate their willingness to investigate further and identify that a non-existent fourth guest had been mistakenly charged.
- DIDavid IpDec 14, 20253.0Not bad for the price and a quick night stay. I would not stay here longer than a night, just for last minute needs. There is a restaurant or something on the first floor and u can hear talking and laughing from my room in the third floor, the highest floor even at 12am.
