Best Western Plus Beach View Lodge

The staff was amazing and made you feel at home. Everything was so green and clean, and the staff was wonderful even as they were passing through the courtyard to open up doors or to assist you with any of your needs. Location was so convenient and so was the fact that you could get the beach chairs and towels up at the front. You could hear the waves crashing at night, which was so serene

It was a great location. I loved this place and Carlsbad just across from the beach.. Lovely view .. Parking, breakfast, helpful staff..

Terrific breakfast, great location, room was large, clean and comfortable with adequate lighting. I love the 2nd floor deck to view the ocean, and chairs and table inside for breakfast with great views as well. Appreciate having an elevator to get the bags upstairs.

Great location, immediately across the road from Tamarack State Beach, where there were lots of activities like drumming circles and music and acrobatic/athletic exhibitions. Lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance. The quiet, clean room was very nice, with a most comfortable bed and plushy pillows, and a small balcony offering a small view of the ocean. The convenience of having a fridge and tea/coffee supplies made it very hospitable, so I didn't need to go out just for a snack. The breakfast room is super, with fabulous views of the ocean (one morning, we watched the dolphins at play). Breakfast offers a wide array of breads, pastries, cereals, cheeses, fruits, yoghurt, drinks of all kinds. There are also hot dishes: pancakes or French toast, eggs (usually scrambled), hash browns. For those non-vegetarians, bacon or sausages are served, although as a vegetarian, I can't vouch for them myself. The ladies operating the breakfast room are very friendly and helpful. Coffee, tea, fruit, and snack bars are available all day. Food can be taken out on the deck and enjoyed in the fresh air. Usually there are a few people with drinks (alcoholic or not) watching the spectacular sunsets, and most are friendly enough to start up some interesting conversations. Housekeeping was exceptionally good; although I chose not to have my room cleaned every day because I was there for a few days, my trash was emptied daily and tea supplies replenished as needed. ** Do check train service in the area, as many trains are currently out of service indefinitely because of erosion and track repairs.

Large room, great breakfast, friendly staff and great location across from the beach.
