Hotels near Handled Pottery Studio, Carlsbad

If you want to go to Lego, the hotel location is very good, you can go directly to Lego's back door, and the hotel has a special LEGO front desk, she gave me two tickets, meaning that adults buy an adult ticket, children are free, we are just It is a family of four, it took more than 260 knives, bought two adult tickets, including the aquarium! The poolside environment is very good, the night pool is warm water, children are very happy!

I had a terrible experience. -The hotel was extremely dirty. We found a towel full of pubic hairs under the bed. Clearly no one had cleaned under the bed for months or years. The floor was sticky. -There was no outlet close to the beds. I had to charge my phone in the bathroom. -It was non smoking but 3 different guests were smoking just outside their room door. The smell entered our room on several occasions. -There was no shampoo or conditioner, no access to a hairdryer nor coffee maker. -I had to mail a package to the hotel, I called less than 48 hrs before my arrival. They informed me it had just arrived and they would keep it for me. When I got there no one knew anything about it. Come to find out, they had sent it back. I needed it then. It caused problems to not have it. The staff never apologized, to the contrary they blamed me for having a package sent there. -When I brought up some of these issues, the staff took no responsibility, but blamed the other staff members. The experience was so bad that we will never stay in a Motel 6 again. We stayed here to save money on parking at Legoland. Walking was up a steep hill most of the way. Not worth it. I should have paid parking and stayed at a normal hotel. This was one of my worst hotel experiences and I have been to MANY throughout my life.

First, the staff at this hotel is amazing. They genuinely care about their patrons. So, I am a little disheartened about my family's recent stay. To begin, you really need to replace the mattresses. They are the most uncomfortable mattresses I have ever slept on. It was truly like sleeping on the floor. Next, the hotel is so loud! I don't understand how so many guests can be that inconsiderate. There were little children running up and down the halls at all hours. We had to check out a day early because we were so sleep-deprived. Again, the location and staff are amazing, but this was the most uncomfortable stay.

It feels good, the price is reasonable, the breakfast is OK.

The room was clean. The landscape room, I can see that the scenery can only be said in general. Breakfast is simple and the pool is not clean. Going out is still very convenient. Legoland and Ole are relatively close. Ole East is not much.

It is clean and small, but small and beautiful. The staff is very friendly and the service is good. The breakfast is good.

Booked a two night stay here when I was in the San Diego area for work. While the property is aging, I can see that they try to maintain its upkeep pretty well. Unfortunately, there were some issues of concern that made the experience less than amazing. I wasn't expecting an Intercontinental (I've stayed at two ICs this past year) - but being that it is part of the IHG, I was expecting at least decent service. Pros: * The IHG website/app were having issues due to the hack. I finally was able to book a reservation, but called the morning of to confirm. Todd was friendly and efficient, was able to confirm my reservation (booked directly through the hotel), view preferences and noted my late checkout request. * Lili was the front desk agent when I checked in. She was friendly, efficient, knowledgeable. She also was able to notate my late checkout request for 2pm. * I reached out to Lili shortly after checking into my room and noticed what looked like pet hairs (see attached photos) in a corner of the room. She expressed genuine concern after I showed her the photos, and had Yolanda stop by with a vacuum cleaner. * Centrally located to groceries and restaurants (walking distance to Trader Joe's!). * Courtyard view rooms have better noise insulation from the road - a good thing considering that the hotel property fronts a major roadway (Palomar Airport Road). * Rooms have a mini-fridge, which is helpful since most hotels don't offer one. * The hotel's on-site restaurant, Stratus - was open everyday for breakfast/dinner - their buttermilk pancakes are great. Cons: * The pet hair situation led me to wonder what other shortcuts was taken (or not taken) in turning over the room. If you look at the photos, this wasn't a stray pet hair here and there - the amount of hair should've been noticeable if the turnover was just a bit more thorough. * The wireless internet kept cutting out throughout the stay. I'm not sure where the router is, but perhaps the hotel can consider adding a few wireless access points throughout the property, since the signal kept getting dropped. * The walls are thin. I was next to a guy that played his TV on at full blast - it sounded like a concert every night. I could hear vividly his phone conversations (colorful language) too. * Late checkout was inconsistent. Todd noted my request initially over the phone - he said he would be able to offer 1:30pm. Lili upon checkin, confirmed it for 2pm. My card stopped working at 12:30pm when I left to move some of my belongings to my car. I waited behind 3 other guests before I was able to be helped and Veronica asked if I was still checking out at 1pm. I mentioned the later time that Lili offered and even pointed out that had my card still worked, I wouldn't have lost 30 minutes waiting in line and probably would've been able to check out by 1pm. * When I finally managed to get back into my room to remove the rest of my stuff, I went back down to the front desk. Which had four

The breakfast is great, Omelette is made on the spot, and there are muffins, muffins, yogurt, and bagels! The room is big, clean and comfortable! There is a self-service laundry on the second floor, and free coffee is available in the lobby on the first floor! Lots of free parking spaces!

Rooms were nice and clean and we had a beautiful view of the lake. The beds are comfortable however my sleep was disrupted due to noisy pipes that we could hear whenever other rooms used their showers or sinks. Staff was friendly, prompt and helpful. The restaurant Amalfi was delicious and I also appreciated the complimentary drinks you get at check in and s’mores kit that is provided in your room.
