I had a mixed experience at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa. While the location is fantastic for visiting Legoland and the rooms are spacious and clean, the service left much to be desired. I faced significant issues during a fire alarm that was not communicated well, and retrieving a lost item turned into a frustrating ordeal. Overall, the amenities and facilities are commendable, but the lack of prompt customer service detracted from my stay.

Our stay had its ups and downs. The hotel features a lovely design and potential for a great family experience, especially with its pool area. However, poor service during check-in and throughout our stay left a lot to be desired.

The Sheraton Carlsbad is in a convenient location close to Legoland, making it great for families. The new Ponto Suites are spacious and well-designed for larger groups. However, the pool was unexpectedly closed during our stay, which was one of the key reasons for booking this hotel, and we faced some communication issues during our visit.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel! The pool facilities were a big hit with the kids, especially the water slide. The dining at the 7 Mile restaurant was delicious with a great variety of options. However, my experience was somewhat marred by an issue with credit card holds, which was very frustrating.
