Bonsall Romantic Hotel

"Nothing like the pictures or description. We booked the family suite with a king bed and bunk beds pictures show couch and panted rooms king bed updated bunk beds but when we walked in it was so outdated full size bed old wobbly bunk beds ac units that stunk like urine if you ran them bath tubs that were falling apart and hair already in it a 1” gap under the front door killed bugs already on ceiling and walls and killed 3 more during or stay.. they have a giant lobby/waiting/eating area but super small breakfast area to get food in a little room I am a hotel engineer myself and would try to avoid this place by any means necessary "

"Breakfast ok, good variety normal hotel spread"

"Room was clean, lots of amenities for children and adults. Will definitely book again "

"2 Stars for motel, 5 stars for the staff. The staff was very welcoming and very friendly, but from there everything else was very underwhelming. Small dark room, cheap wobbly furniture, sticky carpet, sloppy paint job. Thin cheap towels, looked clean, but didn’t smell freshly laundered. They do provide decent body wash, shampoo & conditioner, and body lotion. And thankfully the bedding was clean, and smelled laundered. The property itself was dirty and poorly kept. The complementary breakfast had plenty of food, However if you have any dietary restrictions, there were no non-diary options of milk or yogurt, and no healthy oatmeal toppings like nuts/seeds, fresh berries, cinnamon, etc. There was some fresh whole fruits available, so that was nice. And the location is within walking distance to the beach, which was also nice. Bottom line, if you’re only staying a night or two on your way somewhere else, and don’t want to pay a fortune, this would be an ok choice. I would not recommend this motel for vacations or an extended stay. But just to end on a good note, the staff was great!"

"Location was very good "

"Room was clean and quiet. Good pressure in shower but not sink. Will stay there again."

"My family and I spent the day at LegoLand and decided to book Carlsbad By The Sea for a short stay-cation. The main lobby is currently under construction but the temporary lobby was easy to find via signs. The receptionist was warm, kind, and professional. Check-in was very simple! Our room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Our 3 year old especially enjoyed the heated pool and jacuzzi. We were able to walk across the parking lot to the Windmill food hall, where we had many dining options. The hotel is also located across the street from Carlsbad Outlets and right by the freeway. Overall, great location, great pricing, courteous staff, CLEAN room. Highly recommend!"

"Staff was friendly, room was cleanand a\c kept the room cool. "

"This was such a nice hotel to stay at. My best friend and I were only able to visit for one night, but it was absolutely worth it. We will 100% be coming back. Bob at the front desk was the best! Very knowledgeable and personable. He had an amazing attitude, a contagious smile, and you could tell he actually liked his job and wanted to be there! It was also really cool how my name was displayed on the TV right when I walked in. "
