Top Hotels Near Carlsbad State Beach in Carlsbad from NZ$116

"Great location, but property is beginning to show its age. Staff was welcoming and room was clean. Just could use a refresh to match the setting."

"Best kept secret in Carlsbad"

"We did not get service in our room the entire stay. (Not any fresh towels or trash pick up for 3 days) Also they say the pool is heated and it is not. We did not see one person in the pool the entire time. That is not family friendly for kids who just want to swim. Otherwise the property is clean and Court yard is very nice. Good access to beach. Friendly staff."

"The property is super beautiful. The kind of peace and calm we are looking for. We cancelled plans just to stay and enjoy because the view was spectacular. Unfortunately we werent able to try breakfast but im pretty sure it is excellent too. The room ie very spacious and classy. Would definitely come back more often."

"I loved everything about this hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Also, they had an amazing indoor/outdoor seating area with a view of the ocean. On top of that, the beach, shops, and restaurants were in walking distance. Finally, the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend this property."

"Easy, secure parking. Air conditioner worked well. Great water pressure. "

"We love Legoland so much we always hate to leave! This hotel is awesome definitely recommend!!"

"I like Scandia; peaceful place. If you are a respectful guest and follow the rules of the property you will have a good stay. Be mindful of noise and remember others paid to be at the motel too. The management is kind and appreciates good guests. Scandia gives you the best of 2 areas. Located on the Northern tip of Carlsbad Village, it is surrounded by parks, a private school (historic Army/Navy Academy, love their chimes at night!) and the Buena Vista lagoon (first ecological reserve in Ca.). The moon over the lagoon at night is mesmerizing and beautiful. Lots of birds. The train runs at the back of the motel but it just becomes background with an occasional slow freight train or a quick Amtrak going by, not noisy. It’s the best of Carlsbad and neighboring Oceanside as it is on the border. Oceanside has a booming restaurant scene emerging with an interesting vast array of cuisine choices. Oceanside is a little more funky and Carlsbad has history and architecture. You can walk into Oceanside from Scandia as the area is pedestrian-friendly. The surrounding eucalyptus/pine trees are very old and tell their own story of the area. The room is cozy, has all you need. Free parking near your room, microwave, fridge, heater/fan, nice bathroom/shower. Place is very well run and organized. Good housekeeping staff! You can walk a few minutes to the sand and waves. I have all good things to say of Scandia. Well-lit and security cameras, safe for the solo traveller."

"This is a great house with a wonderful, private, peaceful yard. Great amenities, kitchen is well stocked, location is perfect-just a few blocks from shopping, restaurants and the beach. The host is very communicative and helpful. We had a wonderful stay and can't wait to go back."
