The location was convenient for a beach day. The beds were comfortable. It was clean enough but there is a lack of attention to details. Some dust, stains on the carpet and the beds foundation. Also noticed a hand print on the wall like if someone had greasy or motioned hands and left a handprint. Very thin walls, you will hear your neighbors very clearly. I liked having the mini fridge however a microwave was not included and that can be inconvenient for families.

Overnight stay

My wife and I stayed at the Holiday Inn as an over night prior to a morning surgery. This Holiday Inn is one of the best hotel stays we have experienced from the time we arrived until we left the next morning, the desk staff was kind, extremely attentive and provided the best customer service. The hotel itself is extremely clean and comfortable. Allot of dining options nearby and plenty of free parking. We will definitely stay here afain when we visit Carlsbad. Highly recommend.

Myself and my children have tried a few hotels in the Carlsbad/ Encinitas area and wish we had tried the Holiday Inn first. While it’s 15-20 minutes drive from the coast, it felt more modern and clean than other similar hotels closer to the coast. No charge for working, lovely big pool, beds and bedding were lovely, good shower and water pressure. Will stay again for sure.
