Had to see it to believe it, but it's true. This finicky traveller found a great place: The Pro's: - Great desk service (kudos to Elizabeth and Danika) - Big room - big comfortable beds - - free internet and free bottled water (they even supply an ethernet cable) - fridge and microwave in the room - 2 TV's -...

Pretty bold statement I know "best family vacation ever" but let me start by saying thats exactly what it was. Our family of five was on a mission to vacation by the beach and just spend some valuable family time. We had no amusement parks on our agenda, although if Legoland, Seaworld or the San Diego Zoo are on your... More

I stayed in for two nights during a weekend trip to San Diego. Overall, I like the hotel a lot. I would have given it 5 stars if not for couple minor issues. The good: 1. Very clean 2. Nice & professional staff 3. Close to Legoland and the beach 4. Access to very good restaurant (Bistro West) 5. Milk... More

A really nice hotel at very reasonable prices. The 1 bedroom suites were quite nice (though would be nice to have a door between bedroom and common area, but the separation did work). Loved the cookies at night and the breakfast in the morning was solid. The staff was helpful and courteous. Would certainly recommend.

Located 5 min from LEGOLAND and the beach and about 40 min from San Diego Zoo/downtown, the West Inn had a great location. I'm not familiar with the area, but seems upscale as the adjacent restaurant parking lot could have been mistaken for a Mercedes dealership in the evening. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, DVDs... More

This has got to be the best hotel ever. The staff are great... No, they're fantastic. Everyone is so pleasant, and aside from being very helpful, seem to be enjoying themselves. I needed a Carlsbad hotel for business, and chose the West Inn based upon the amenities, including the free shuttle service. That perk was the clincher that encouraged me... More

Plus- All the complimentary amenities Con- Inappropriate discussion at the front desk between an inebriated male chatting up the female employees. We thought it was an odd place for an inn as lovely as this one. The inn looks like it belonged beach side but is situated near the tracks/freeway. The West Inn was a fine place to stay for... More

We stayed here for two nights this past weekend, (3 adults, one infant in a king suite). The staff at this hotel are the most helpful, good-hearted people of any hotel staff I've encountered. Every staff person was warm and welcoming, and went way beyond the "extra mile" to insure our comfort and enjoyment. That was a huge plus in... More

To be honest when we pulled up I felt a bit of disappointment because it seemed the hotel was just in a parking lot off the highway, but the second we stepped inside I reconsidered. This was one of the cleanest, friendliest and just overall lovely hotels I have ever stayed in. Would definitely stay there again!
