I'm still kind of amazed by how great this hotel is for the price. This is coming from a lady who…read moredoes not like staying in hotels, but has stayed in many hotels and is very picky about them. Ayres Hotel Vista Carlsbad exceeded all of my expectations, and it was a pleasure to stay here. We got a double queen room, and the beds were very comfortable. The room itself is your standard mid-range hotel room, but everything was clean, the shower water pressure was decent, there were plenty of device charging plugs, there's a mini fridge in the cabinet, and the bathroom sink is separate from the toilet and shower area. I don't particularly like this restroom setup, but what are you gonna do? The free breakfast is great. They have a made-to-order omelette station, with an actual person behind a counter taking orders and making your food. They also have a self-serve waffle-making station, oatmeal cups, yogurt, cereal, and a mango-infused water (fancy!). The only thing is that the coffee they offered in the dining room was trash. What you want to do is go visit the Keurig coffee maker by the front desk, which is available to guests all day. Make yourself a cup of coffee from there, and thank me later. There is indoor seating, but do yourself a favor and go out to the patio and enjoy your breakfast outdoors in the perfect Carlsbad morning air. The fitness center is open 24 hours a day, which is a relief and as it should be. There is also a laundry room, with super fast washers and dryers. Ayres Hotel is set up in the hills a bit, so there isn't anything nearby to walk to. But if you're in a pinch and need something for dinner, they make wood-fired pizzas in-house and have happy hour specials.

This was a genuinely great hotel stay, and honestly such a relief…read more I've had enough bad hotel experiences that I usually arrive at a new place a little nervous about what I'll find--but Ayres Hotel Carlsbad exceeded expectations across the board. They even called us the day of check-in to ask what time we'd be arriving, which felt thoughtful and welcoming right from the start. The staff were consistently professional and kind. Check-in was easy, and the gentleman who helped us went above and beyond making sure we had all the information we needed. Breakfast was a standout, with made-to-order omelets along with standard continental options. We arrived around 7 p.m. and were tired and hungry, so it was such a bonus to find a small bar on site (in the same space as breakfast) serving personal pizzas and drinks. We grabbed food and brought it back to our room, which was exactly what we needed. Our deluxe king room with a sofa bed was very clean and well laid out. There was a small, movable coffee table that made eating on the sofa easy, a desk with a rolling chair, and a fridge and microwave hidden away in a cabinet. The bathroom was well stocked with towels, and there was a blow dryer and steam iron available. Free parking and Wi-Fi were appreciated, and there were Tesla charging stations as well. The only thing I wished for was easier TV streaming or the ability to log into Netflix directly--the remote was a bit laggy--but we didn't spend much time watching TV anyway. The location is quiet since it's in a business area, but Target, Starbucks, and plenty of food options are just a quick drive away. Overall, this was a really comfortable, stress-free stay, and I wouldn't hesitate to book here again.

Weird position of television on wall right next to bathroom door frame (can easily walk into it if not paying enough attention). TV streams Netflix, which is great. Bathroom smaller and single sink but clean and functional. Nice for each guest to have free breakfast in morning. There is also a njce Starbucks with a drive thru directly across from lobby entrance.

Our room had a refrigerator and microwave. TV was working. Bed and pillows weren't that great but they were neat and clean. Bathroom had big bottles of shampoo and body wash...not the usual little bottles. I appreciated that pets were welcome (for extra fee) as we had our dog. There were many areas outside the hotel where our dog did his "thing" and little dog bags for collection. They also provided breakfast and it was pretty good: yogurt, juice, coffee, fresh fruit, cereals, toast and a waffle iron to make waffles. They also have a pool and vending machines. Front desk and housekeeping were friendly. Not fancy, but I still gave it 3 stars.

Once you check in they give you a welcome drink! The property offers so many activities: *Pickleball *Gym *S'mores by the fire pits from 6-10 PM *Kayaking or paddleboarding: 1 hour a day to explore about 1.5 miles along the lake, passing beautiful homes and ducks floating by *Guitar check-out *Golf balls for use on their gorgeous course They have a private, adults-only pool for swimming, plus two large pools in the main area and a Jacuzzi. There's a bar available at the pools, which is convenient. Restaurants: *Almalfi Cuisine: Upscale Italian with an amazing wine selection, beautiful views, excellent service, and phenomenal dishes. *Almalfi Marina: Located below the upscale restaurant. You can sit at the bar to watch sports or at tables overlooking the lake. Happy hour is 3-6 PM, and I got a craft IPA for just $6, such a great deal! *Brickman's: Honestly, not my favorite. Breakfast can be disappointing. My friend's eggs Benedict was just a handful of spinach on sloppy-looking ham with an overcooked egg. The breakfast burrito is good, though, and the view overlooking the golf course is beautiful. Overall, this place is incredibly relaxing. You can choose a room with a pool or lake view, and it offers great value. Kid-friendly, complementary parking, and truly a hidden escape. Highly recommend for a low-stress, enjoyable stay.

What a lovely hotel!…read more My review is only for the conference I attended here and to be in such a beautiful hotel with gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean, working this weekend felt like a breeze. Conference room was nice and all the AV worked well. Valet parking for $10 was provided for conference goers. I parked in the public lot right across the street for $5.50/day and its literally a stone's throw away. Lunch was Greek cuisine and all of it delicious. The snacks at break were OK too. Bathrooms are nice and just mesmerizing views of the ocean from many parts of the hotel. Id definitely come back again to hang out here another day when not working. Its very chill and classy too. Loved it!

It's an all suites hotel so it served that need. The room itself on appearance was very nice, perhaps recently refurbished and felt clean and modern. We had a couple experiences which made it a little weird though. The rooms have motion detecting lights that you can only sort of control. The shower for example...the light turns off when you're in the shower as it doesn't sense your motion and there's no way (obvious to us) to force it to stay on. That was a bummer for the 2 of us who wanted to shower but had to do so in the dark unless we opened the shower door and waved our arm around to hopefully catch the attention of the sensor to give us another 30 seconds of light. This also happens if you're sitting on the toilet. The last thing I want to think about in that situation is having to provide additional motion so the light doesn't turn out. In the living space, a light also automatically turns on when it senses motion. Not great for having our son trying to sleep in that room and us having to move through it to leave the room or access the kitchen to have all the lights suddenly turn on around our sleeping boy. Also had a disappointing non-fitness room experience. The fitness room was no accessible because of renovations...okay bad luck in terms of timing...but they said I could go to the adjacent Hampton Inn and use their fitness room which was open 24 hours. So I did, but, unfortunately their fitness room actually isn't open 24 hours as I learned when I got there. So no fitness room and wasted time walking in the rain to the hotel next door based in the inaccurate info given by the staff. So overall disappointing and strange (especially the lights situation)...seems like they forget to dot a few Is when setting these rooms up.
