“It is almost like staying with family”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2013

Over the previous 12 months I have stayed at The Residence Inn Carlsbad many times, sometimes for 2-3 week stays. The newly renovated hotel is pristine, the staff are extremely competent and friendly, and the location for me is perfect. The Internet is fast and free. I enjoy the Thursday evening free BBQ by the pool. In all of my... More

If you need a stable base of operation with all the tools required to do business as well as relax, and you're a stickler for good service...you've come to the right place.

“Clean and friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2013

We have put up friends at this Inn several times and have always enjoyed the experience. The staff was friendly and helpful and especially appreciated the assistance of front desk clerk, Nick. The breakfast is very wholesome and has great selections. It is kept stocked and clean. I always recommend the Residence Inn to friends and family.

Had an exceptional experience in every way - cleanliness, friendly accommodating staff, beautiful decor, delicious food, etc . Operations Manager Rebecca Hackney should conduct classes on how to run such a facility.

“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2013

I chose this hotel because of the in-room kitchen, but will stay here again because of the staff. Everyone including front desk staff, cleaning staff, kitchen personnel, and the manager recognized me and greeted me genuinely. After a week they knew my name, room number, and preferences. I stayed for 5 weeks and the suite was large enough that I... More
