Our friends who live in Carlsbad recommended West Inns and Suites because of its great location and great restaurant that is part of the hotel (Bistro West). They had not stayed there but they said it was new and looked nice. Wow, what a pleasant surprise we had! The room was a bit less expensive than most hotels in the... more

After a day at LegoLand with 3 little kids, this place was just the perfect place to unwind. The restaurant was FANTASTIC ( a real restaurant, not a hotel food-service one)--try the homemade veggie burger. After dinner, the kids jumped into the pool and swam until 10pm and then, thank goodness, they were tired and went promptly to sleep, and... more

We have 3 kids all under 10 years old, so having a close hotel to Legoland was a must. When we arrived, we were so amazed at the sizes of the bed, that we didn't realize how big the room really was. It also had a luxurious big bathroom FULL of towels. It wasn't the obvious things that made me... more

We travel to the Carlsbad area on business (and pleasure) at least twice a year and have stayed at a few hotels near to the Pacific. We used to stay in La Jolla for their boutique hotels and then travel to Carlsbad. The West Inn hotel is the best of the near the ocean hotels- by far. The hotel is... more

Picked this based on Trip advisor rating. Fabulous hotel. Great location for Legoland and great attention to detail. The rooms are comfy and clean and the staff are extremely friendly. There is free parking and free wirless internet in the rooms. And there is a free breakfast in the morning which is better than most free breakfasts we've seen at... more

I couldn't believe this quality of this little gem. We only stayed one night en-route to San Diego for a conference but wished it had been more. We expected a standard chain motel but we were very pleasantly surprised. From the warm and friendly staff, to the large airy room with the big, oh so comfortable bed, everything about this... more

This was our second stay at West Inn and Suites and are just as pleased the second time around. Taking the grandkids to Legoland is exhausting, but the pampering at this hotel helps take the edge off. The rooms are very comfortable (no noise) even though we were on the first floor (rm 105). The shuttle to Legoland saved us... more

Pros: Very nice hotel for families who are not planning on spending time on the premises. The rooms are modern, spacious and clean. The hotel staff is friendly as well. There are two restaurants located on the premises. Cons: The free breakfast is mediocre. The hotel is located next to a power plant and freeway near the hotel so the... more

We have been to the Carlsbad area many times to go to Legoland and stayed at the Grand Pacific Palisades previously and been disappointed on many levels. This time we did our homework and read the reviews for West Inn & Suites. It was a wonderful change! We stayed in a King Suite, which has one king size bed and... more
