I booked this hotel after reading reviews here. As mentioned, there was a sweet smell in the hallways in the mornings. Some kind of cleaning chemical they must use. Bearable and not bad at all. Service was extremely friendly. Not a 4 star hotel if that's what you're looking for. Good breakfast, make your own pancakes, eggs, b fast meat.... more

Stayed here the entire week on a business trip. clean rooms, comfortable beds, and flat screen TVs in the living room and bedroom. Free Wi-Fi is pretty fast - I could VPN into my company network back on the East Coast and experienced very little delay. The complimentary breakfast has a lot of variety. more

We were bumped up to a two bedroom suite because they did not have any one bedrooms left. It really made our vacation very nice. Our son was very happy to have his own room with a bathroom. He set up his computer on the desk and was very happy being on the internet for free. The gas fireplace in... more

Very clean and well equipted. I loved having a separate living/kitchen area from the bathroom/bedroom. We have a four month old, and found it a perfect setup, as she could sleep undisturbed in the living area, while we stayed up in our bedroom watching tv. Well appointed kitchen, with full size appliances, marble counter. Outstanding breafast included, which had much... more

We just finished a 4 night stay at the Residence Inn in Carlsbad. We live in the area but needed a place to stay while we had some work done on our house. I was not very excited about staying here. (I had low expectations as a previous stay at another RI in another state years ago was rather mediocre.)... more

This is definitely a Marriott property that lives up to the Marriott name! We had a 1 bedroom suite and it was nice and clean. Not only did it have a kitchen, but laundry facilities are available at this location, which was perfect for our travelling family. This property is also close to Legoland and Costco! Check out Costco for... more

I traveled out to Vista, CA for business during the summer months last year (2006) and took my family (wife & 2 small kids) with me on this adventure. We ended up staying at the RI from early July through September - a full 8 weeks!!! We chose the Residence Inn mainly due to the location & price for a... more

This is a top quality Residence Inn property. It sits in a quiet section of an upscale commercial office park, near the local small airport but with virtually no sense of the airport at all. Within a short five minute drive is ample dining. The rooms are meticulously clean, and this hotel clearly subscribes to Marriott's quality and staff-friendly standards.... more
