Tamarack Beach Hotel, hotel in Carlsbad

Offering a hot tub and a fitness centre, Tamarack Beach Hotel is set in Carlsbad in the California Region. There is a restaurant and guests can have fun at the games room.

The cleaning staff were cheerful, obliging and did an excellent job fixing the room in no time at all. The location was good and easy to get to the San Diego Safari Park and Zoo and Legoland, but you need a car. The beach was reasonable but the weather a bit cold when we were there to be able to utilise it fully.

    while Carlsbad is a lovely city to see, we did not have enough time to walk around, drive around. We were there for a specific reason, and that took all of our time. From what I heard the flower gardens are suppose to be gorgeous.

    Carlsbad is a quaint small town that is worthy of one-day’s exploration. The greater Carlsbad, including the beaches, flower fields and activities off downtown area can probably filled another couple days’ time. However, I probably will become bored if spending more than three days in the area.

    It is a sleepy town where most of the restaurants and bars shutdown by 10:30 - 11:30 or earlier even on the weekends. If you want entertainment or nightlife you have to leave the area and head to towns to the north or south. The big attraction is the beach and some of the boutique restaurants and shops.

    The hotel fell short of my expectations. The bad first:

    The hotel fell short of my expectations. The bad first: - The rooms are dirty and in disrepair. My shower turned into a bath. - The freeway is loud, so you hear cars all night - The shuttle only starts at 9:30am and runs every 20 minutes. Need to call at 7am to get on the calendar. 11 people to a shuttle. - Breakfast options are very slim which means you need to venture out to feed yourself. The market next door isn't geared towards breakfast, leaving you starbucks. The good: - The location is only 4-5 minute drive to Legoland. Super fast and easy. We decided to forgo the shuttle and just park at the park early (avoid traffic) and eat at a Legoland hotel. Just need to reserve spot on open table night before. - The pool is nice. Kids loved it. - Great air conditioning in the room. Overall, I would rather just pay a little extra and stay at Legoland if you are going to go to Legoland. If you aren't going to Legoland, I don't know why you would stay at this hotel at all. The hotel goes for a hard value play, but it is a 2 star hotel at best for me.

    Well, Summertime is very busy.

    Well, Summertime is very busy. Good for finding places to eat. Not so good finding beaches to sit on. Or finding Dog Beaches. Hard to find parking for the beach. Got to get there early. Warm weather inland made for humid weather at the coast. Windmill Food Hall was a great place to eat. As was Benihana and The Green Dragon. Primo Pizza was good too. Beaches were crowded and expect to pay for parking there. If you have one good day at the beach consider yourself lucky.

    The location was fine and I appreciated the easy close parking but the breakfast was a disaster! There were low-quality and unhealthy food choices and worst of all the plates, utensils, and bowls were made of styrofoam and plastic!!! No ethically responsible hotel or restaurant uses these non-biodegradable items! Wake-up Marriot! It is time to adopt "Green" policies and practices!

    The hotel is a very nice complex with a kind of little park within and a nice pool. The rooms are okay and spacious. The personal was very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, the room was only cleaned once in 7 nights (see below), but we got always new towels when we wanted it. Also, the shuttle service works very well. The manager personally took me once to the city.

    Fantastic location - the motel is set back only a couple of blocks from the beach and is within easy walking distance if you want to watch the sunset along the ocean. The location is more towards the end of Carlsbad Boulevard but is only a short stroll from where you can find shops, cafes, restaurants and the like.

    This hotel is in a great, central location. You're less than 10 minutes from the I-5 and Legoland, outlets, gas stations, and shopping (Costco, Starbucks, food options, stores, etc.) You're also very close to the Palomar Airport (as aviation fans, this was a plus but the noise might be a negative for someone else.)

    The property was okay. The king suite was nice. There is only a small coffee maker and that’s it. We had to get plates, utensils and pans and towels to wash dishes. Location to the beach was awesome. Luckily we weren’t in our hotel much so it was fine to have no amenities. Close to Legoland.
