Homewood Suites by Hilton Carlsbad North San Diego County

The front desk person was very friendly and professional. Then it quickly went downhill from there. Luckily we only stayed for one night since it was very close to Legoland. The hotel is going through some renovation so maybe they are replacing the filthy and worn out carpet. The room didn’t have any bath soap or hair conditioner dispenser but we managed since I usually travel with a spare bar of soap. The living room sofa should have been replaced 5 years ago. The padding in the seat cushion is nonexistent and there was a noticeable hole in the back cushion that was covered by a pillow. There are probably “free” sofas on Craigslist that are in better condition. Overall it was probably one of my least memorable Hilton experience.

Very delicious breakfast buffet. We stayed 3 nights. Safe area with lots of shopping nearby. Well lit parking lot. Clean and up to date accommodations, Friendly staff, nice pool area. Didn’t realize we were re so close to the airport until we were outside the building. Visited marina & seals there as well as beach. Drove 30 min to San Diego to La Jolla cove to see more seals! Enjoyed local Carlsbad restaurants including Campfire. Would stay here again.

Not a good experience. The room looks tidy but actually is dirty. Kitchen not that clean with stains. There are ants and bugs in the room. We cannot even take shower as there are tons of bugs in the bathtub and drains. It is a good family style hotel as the rooms are one bedroom suites. But if you care about the cleanliness, please do not stay here.

Very clean and comfortable, excellent location...breakfast was delicious every morning. Loved the Wednesday evening reception. Paid for an upgraded room. However, not sure what the upgrades were. Not going to do that again. Overall, great stay and excellent amenities.

I stayed here three nights in September 2024. The hotel itself is poorly maintained. One of the elevators creaks like it’s going to break down any day now, and the elevator floors and walls were damaged and dirty. The room I stayed in smelled musty; I thought it might be because the windows were left open so I closed them and turned on the a/c, but that didn’t help. The a/c rattles and the motor sounds like an airplane flying overhead. The tub/shower is old and has very little water pressure. There is wallpaper peeling off the wall, but frankly that’s the case in every hallway too. The furniture looks and feels at least 20 years old. Lamp shades with holes, squeaky cushions, etc. The carpet is stained, the doors are missing paint. There are ants in the bathroom and in the kitchenette area. The refrigerator is just as loud as the air conditioner. Housekeeping didn’t come after the first day so I called downstairs (using my cell, not the phone in the room because it doesn’t work) and they said they’d send someone to clean the room. But of course they didn’t. I’m not a clean-freak but this hotel is by far one of the worst I’ve stayed in.
