"Beautiful December stay at the Westin Carlsbad."

Reviewed December 31, 2025 NEW

The Westin Carlsbad has a great location and a lovely property. It is right next to Legoland, 1 mile from the beach and 2 miles from the picturesque town of Carlsbad. The hotel property is beautiful with a nice pool gym and hot tub area. We ate breakfast every day at 20 restaurant and ended our nights at the bar. We want to thank Christina, Henry and Digna for making our experience at 20 so special. It was a relaxing and sunny vacation.

"Friendly staff, clean rooms, great service"

Reviewed December 27, 2025 NEW

We were looking for a nice Marriott with a spa for our annual staycation and the Westin did not disappoint! The spa experience was top notch. Every staff member (from valet, to restaurant and front desk -shout out to Taryn for going above and beyond) was joyful and kind. They made our stay easy and relaxing. The rooms are large and clean and the property is the perfect size. Breakfast was great! We didn’t check out the restaurants for any other meals, but we will be back!
