Mosquitoes are currently really active- bring bug spray!

The hotel staff is friendly and the grounds are kept nice. The resort is family friendly and is the main reason we come back every year. Unfortunately, Hilton has taken over the on-site Clubhouse with their high pressure sales office. Beware when you check- in they will schedule your 1hour "owner update" only to pressure you to buy in to the Hilton points system. Very bad customer service on behalf of the concierge. It is our feeling that they put up a front only to bilk sales for Hilton. We had rescheduled our day (and child missed school) to make sure we would be on time to their "owner update" only to find out they canceled (without any notification) because they "claim" our deeded weeks were bought through a 3rd party (not sure what they are talking about-smh). Very unprofessional and dishonest.

My hubby and I have been HGVC owners since 2015. I'm so stoked that we finally were able to stay at this resort. Overall, our stay was great! Saw some of the feedback that the bed was on the firmer side which was accurate. The pillows though compensated for that so not too bad. I was able to walk to the beach and watch the sunset. I would like to give a shoutout to Joelle, the assistant activities personnel, who was so helpful when I went down to get a Rootbeer Float and making my first tie dye t-shirt. Thank you Joelle! I do like that they have activities throughout the week and even a food truck 2x a week. Hopefully, we can stay here again since it was hard for me to reserve here. This time, I'll bring my kids and have my friends check it out.

SO relaxing. walkable distance to the beach that feels semi private. no where we went was crowded so it was nice. keycards to everything so no randos.

We have been coming here for years around the New Year. The grounds are nice and the beach is close by across the street. We stay in a one bedroom unit. We enjoy the sound of the waves and the view of the ocean. The kitchen is fairly well stocked and large enough to cook a meal. Nice size bathrooms. The resort is pretty close to Hwy 5 and is easy to reach. My only complaint is the beds. They are very firm. Some of the carpets, furniture and kitchen area are starting to look worn. This obviously doesn't prevent us from returning! We will return again next year.

Beautiful spot, fun little get together in a great area. Rooms were clean, bbq and music at pool.

They give away FREE refillable margarita at the pool in the afternoon. How smart is that?! Based on the location, amenities, pricing and rest of the accommodation, this is a gem of a resort hotel. Location: right off the 5 hwy and right on the Beach. You can see the ocean from your own room patio. The hotel is located on its own secluded street. It feels very safe. Legoland is 3 minutes away and you get the access all the surrounding stores. Room. Our 1 bedroom room has a fulled stocked kitchen. Everything is clean and look new. TV in both living room and bedroom. Own patio directly facing the Ocean. Comfortable sofa that can be turned into a sofa bed. Parking: Free underground parking. It has enough room for all the guest. Facilities: Id give this an A. 2 pools, tennis court, volleyball court, gym...great looking lobby. I can live here for months. Downside: I only have 2 complaints. No breakfast offering and slow internet. Overall, Great hotel. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family.

This location is beautiful. It is really close to the ocean, specifically North Ponto Beach. I walked there almost every morning. We stayed on the third floor. The picture I took was from my porch. The single room was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook with, although all I ever made was snacks and a sandwich. The adult pool was heated and open until 10. It was great to not have any kids around when I was trying to relax. The parking deck was easy to get in and out of. You can also park on the street. It is close to a lot of restaurants and a Ralph's grocery store. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this location.

good morning from Carlsbad

One of the better resorts that's close to the Carlsbad beach. The resort is very conveniently located not too far from the 5 freeway and it's about 5 minutes drive to the Carlsbad Premium Outlet. With its ideal location to everything, the resort is best suited for family vacation. For us, we have kids wanting to go to Legoland and safaris as well as to Seaworld, from this location, all attractions are within 20 minutes drive. There are plenty of activities in the resorts too for both kids and adults. Kids can enjoy themselves with water park activities and game room. For adults, they can enjoy swimming, jacuzzi, biking, fire bound, BBQ and surfing. The rooms are quite new and clean. We had two bedroom suites room where we had a full kitchen and a dining table. We had 7 people for the trip and fitted everyone comfortably. All hotel guests are provided indoor parking and it's secure with gate. Only room keys can open the gate. There are many good restaurants nearby. Many different cuisines catering to varieties of tastes. We enjoyed the Italian restaurant near the pier.

This place is really special. Perfect for families and easy access to the beach. Staff was incredibly friendly, grounds were clean, and lots to do on site. Some recommendations would be to have easier access to the pool/beach towels. Our room was pretty far from the lobby and walking back and forth to get new towels and return the old ones was a bit of a mission. Most hotels have a station for towels near the pool area. I think you should accommodate this. The Pool area was also very slippery, both my daughter and I fell while just walking. Lastly the family pool was cold and the adult pool was heated. I asked if we could go to the adult pool and the front desk said no. Nobody was at the adult pool and it seems like adults with no kids loved the family pool and spa. It's a bit rude when families can't access the adult area yet adults want to use the family space and talk to minors. Incredibly uncomfortable. Very minor negative things but worth the mention.

The stain on the couch I had to take a photo AND walk to the front desk to show it to them. They still didn't want to send someone

We had to pay a steep price for the resort fees. As timeshare owners who frequently use direct exchange to come to the San Diego area, we're use to resort fees. I am not however accustomed to having to call the front desk everyday because something is broken or wrong! I thought they just completed a remodel?! Opening the door for the first time the whole suite smelled like spoiled hazelnut coffee. The smell was so intense it gave me a migraine for two days. It was all over the couch and they gave me a hard time about having the maids come and clean it because it was after 5pm. We couldn't sit in the living room as a family on our family vacation. The overhead lighting in both rooms wouldn't turn on with the pull switch. Maintenance came and fixed it. Another night my son kept waking up sick. I wanted to move him to the pull out couch so he didn't wake up his sister- the bed was broken and wouldn't open. Perfect. I am currently sitting in my room while the kitchen sink overflows from the garbage disposal. Maintenance has been here about an hour (and counting) already... We still have three nights... at this point I'll be thankful if the fireplace doesnt explode and kill us. Definitely wouldn't recommend it, at least not to anyone I want to have a good time. The location is FANTASTIC but You need functioning and clean rooms. And sadly that has not been my experience. The maintenance staff has been super nice though! We've really gotten to spend some quality time with them.

Beautiful decor,  simple, fresh,  open with our view of the ocean

Families! This is what you've always hoped for. Great price for full accommodations, full kitchen, living area, spacious lovely condo retreat. I always appreciate value for families. Right now sitting by the pool under the lovely cabana, while kids are thrilled with the pool and splash area. Our first day here with the families, all "family". The kids had been excited to go to the beach and we will, but they saw the pool and splash and play on the way in and squealed unanimously and in unison, "Pool!!!!". We all know when the kids are happy, we're even happier. Just living the dream in Carlsbad!

Sealed door
Stephanie K.

Great place for a quick getaway from LA! Our group of adults really enjoyed this property as it was across the street from the beach and the adult pool was beautiful! Our room was sealed off to let us know no one had entered. The dishwasher was also full and sealed so you know all the dishes are clean and no one has touched them! Finally I was surprised to find that even the sofa sleeper had a seal on it to show it was cleaned! My only complaint about the room was that the walls within the unit were paper thin and if you are not on the top floor then you'll definitely hear the people above you walking. For me I'm a light sleeper so it made it difficult for me to sleep as I could hear everything from the living room even with the door closed. There are 2 pools, one for adults and families. Unfortunately the hot tubs are closed for safety. But the adult pool overlooks the beach and it makes for a beautiful sunset! Walking across the street to the beach was easy as well and you don't have to worry about parking. The front desk also offers complimentary beach rentals such as umbrellas, chairs, and boogie boards! There is also a nice game room with ping pong, foosball, and arcade games! There is also street parking right outside the units! During the day it can be more difficult to park due to beach goers but if you need an extra spot to park a car there's no overnight parking restrictions. Overall a great stay and very clean rooms! Amenities were a big plus and it's location close to Carlsbad village and the beach made our stay very enjoyable!

Ask the Community - Carlsbad Seapointe Resort

Is this walking disrance goin to beach?

Yes, the resort is across the highway from the beach and is walkable. There is a crosswalk and then you have to walk down a little to the beach. There is a lifeguard station and public restrooms, too.

Is this resort on the beach?

All rooms look out AT the beach/ocean, however, Carlsbad Boulevard runs between the resort and the beach. There is a controlled cross walk over to the beach and it is a fairly easy walk!

Are pets allowed?

No, pets aren’t allowed. Works for me, I don’t like staying in rooms that have had pets in them.

On May 15, 2026, what should have been a relaxing dinner at Ember & Rye at Park Hyatt Aviara became…read morean incredibly upsetting experience. My husband had just finished working six consecutive shifts at the fire department, and we were simply looking forward to a nice evening together. As we entered the parking lot, two men in a golf cart crossed in front of our vehicle. My husband honked, and there was later a brief verbal exchange about what had happened. There were no threats or physical confrontation from us, and we believed the matter was over. Later, while we were still seated at our dinner table, a woman we had never met approached us and began questioning us about the parking-lot interaction. She told us that she and her husband were club members, repeatedly referenced their membership, said she had never seen us there before, and told us she "didn't want any problems in the future." I cannot speak to what she intended, but the encounter made both of us feel intimidated, unwelcome, and extremely uncomfortable. We later learned that an Aviara Country Club member event was being held at the restaurant that evening. After dinner, we discovered that our vehicle had been extensively damaged while parked on the property. Carlsbad Police investigated, and surveillance footage from the property documented what occurred. An individual associated with the earlier parking-lot encounter became the alleged suspect during the investigation. Our vehicle ultimately sustained nearly $15,000 in repair costs. I am intentionally not identifying anyone or making any statement about guilt. I am simply describing what my husband and I experienced that evening. What has disappointed us most is Park Hyatt Aviara's response afterward. I personally contacted hotel management and was told that Hyatt was cooperating with police, which we appreciated. We were also told that someone from Aviara Golf Club management would contact us to discuss what happened. That call never came. I understand that a hotel cannot control the actions of every person on its property, and I am not assigning legal responsibility to Hyatt. My concern is how we were treated as guests after such a serious and disturbing experience. We experienced an uncomfortable confrontation during dinner, left to discover nearly $15,000 in damage to our vehicle, and had to involve law enforcement. Yet we never felt the level of concern, communication, or follow-through we expected from a five-star property. That is what has been most disappointing. We chose Park Hyatt Aviara because we expected exceptional hospitality and guest care consistent with the Park Hyatt name. Instead, we left feeling uncomfortable, unsupported, and profoundly disappointed. I sincerely hope Park Hyatt Aviara considers how guests are cared for when something goes seriously wrong during their visit.

My first room was adorable. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I love the unique layout of the rooms. I also enjoyed the pool, complimentary member drinks, and the overall property. That first evening I called for a wine opener and was told someone would bring one up, but nobody ever came. I eventually went downstairs to get one myself. Not a huge deal, but unfortunately it became the first of several instances where I was told someone would follow up and nobody did. The next day was great. I enjoyed the pool and a fitness class and had an amazing bartender. I was having such a good time that I decided to extend my stay another night. That's when everything went downhill. My new room was EXTREMELY hot. Maintenance came up and said it was 78 degrees and that there appeared to be an HVAC issue. After waiting around 40 minutes I ended up sitting in my car because the room was so uncomfortable. The front desk moved me to another room and told me a manager would call regarding compensation. Nobody called. Later that evening I returned to find the replacement room incredibly hot as well. It honestly felt cooler outside. I was told they would send somebody right up to get me moved again. Thirty minutes later, still no one. At this point it was around 10:30 PM, I had already switched rooms once, and I wasn't willing to pack everything up and move into a THIRD room with no guarantee the AC would work that late at night. I decided to check out and find another hotel. Unfortunately, the evening manager made the situation even worse. Instead of being understanding, he was rude and dismissive and pointed out that I had previously agreed to switch rooms. Yes, I agreed before waiting over 30 minutes with no one having shown up. I was told they would check me out and a manager would contact me regarding a refund. Nobody did. I called the next day and was again told someone would call me back. Nobody did. I finally called again the following day and reached someone who resolved the situation. Initially, I was only offered a waived resort fee, which I found unreasonable considering I paid nearly $500 for a room without functioning AC, moved rooms once, and ultimately had to leave late at night and pay for another hotel. After several calls the issue was finally resolved, which I appreciated, but it should not have taken that much effort. It's frustrating because there is so much I genuinely love about Omni La Costa. The property is beautiful, the beds are comfortable, the adults only pool is fantastic, and they offer tons of activities and fitness classes. I've stayed here multiple times because I enjoy the resort. Unfortunately, the customer service during this stay was seriously lacking. Between the HVAC issues, lack of follow through, repeated promises of callbacks that never happened, and the attitude of the evening manager, the experience left a really bad taste in my mouth. I still think it's a beautiful resort, and most of my previous stays have been wonderful, but this particular stay was extremely disappointing.

Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton property, delivered a good experience for my recent 4-night stay…read more To be clear, this is a very casual, low-rise hotel, sitting directly across the street from the ocean. As a result, the weather is milder than inland and the vibe feels comfortable and beach-y, not stuffy. Night one I slept in a room with partially frosted windows to block the site of the rooftop housing a plethora of air conditioning units. Unfortunately, even if I couldn't see them, I heard them all night and in the morning was able to move to a different room for the duration of my stay. (Had a different room not been available this review would look a lot different). The hotel has a nice (not fancy) pool and jacuzzi with ample chaise lounges and a bit less ample umbrellas. Pool toys are available for use making the place kid-friendly. Food and drinks can be ordered poolside but there's also an on-site restaurant, Chandler's which I didn't much care for. Guests here can use bicycles free of charge and also make use of a free shuttle that takes you to and from a nearby beach (South Ponto) where chaise lounges and towels are set up and ready for your use. South Ponto Beach isn't Carlsbad's nicest beach, but it's a nice touch, being able to enjoy it from a chaise lounge on a small bluff. Valet parking is available or you can self-park for $40/day (reduced somewhat if you're a Hilton Honors member). This might be my biggest complaint of all; the nonsense of having to pay any parking fee for a hotel outside the center of a city irks me to no end and even at a discount rate, this one did. Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach was a convenient location for driving to central Carlsbad, Encinitas, and even the San Diego Zoo. It wasn't fancy but it was clean and comfortable. I'd have no problem staying here again but only if I could again secure a room away from the rooftop ACs.

Parking: Valet only $60 overnight Concierge and receptionist table is very simple and 1 person helping only, she is Super duper sweet and helpful. She checked us in, and since we booked via Amex, we received complimentary: - Suite upgrades - early check in - guarantee 4pm check out - daily breakfast for 2 - In room wifi - and $150 resort credit apply for restaurant, spa etc. This place has a e-bike, paddle board an surf board for guests to use anytime complimentary. If you happened to stay in 2nd floor, which they only have 3 floors, where Vaga restaurant is, to find your room is kinda tricky. Look at the signage and the room are through the double door, on your left when you face the restaurant. It requires your keycard access to enter through the double door. The room is so relaxing,the vibe is comforting. It has complimentary coffee, nespresso tea and bottle water. You can ask for more water at concierge. Look at the real life I believe eucalyptus stem on top of the shower head, love it. There's also a gym and spa in 1st floor, also access to beach. We asked for recommended restaurant around the area, she gave a 4 pages list of restaurant and little shops 2nd floor - has venue area with spacious gathering area and balcony overlooking the beach. Evening: you can enjoy cocktails on VAGA restaurant overlooking the beach with outdoor fireplace and patio. Fyi: the room has thin walls. We can hear ppl talking, walking, running on hall way every moment. So on our final bill: They comp all our daily breakfast including tips and room service delivery. They automatically deduct $150 resort credit regardless you spend under. It will apply to any other fees. Like it because they don't Knicks pick every single expenses, that shows their reputation and their hotel guests matter over little charges. Overall, love this place. Will definitely come back. Highly recommended.

Came here for my partner's birthday - he wanted the beach and I found this gem!…read more The room was incredibly spacious and our balcony had a perfect view of the beach and ocean. The bed was so comfy and there was a large sitting area with a TV. We got room service and every food we chose was delicious! We rented chairs and an umbrella for our beach day and we spent so much time on our balcony watching wildlife, surfers, people fishing, the waves. The pool also was heated and so lovely to jump in after a day in the ocean. They had live music around the pool Saturday night! It was walking distance from so many stores and restaurants. We picked up pizza and enjoyed dinner on our balcony, while watching the sunset. It was truly a magical beach getaway!

Overall, we had a nice stay, but there were definitely some areas that need improvement…read more The positives first: check-in was quick and easy, the room was spacious, and I really appreciated that there was no carpet. We appreciated the complementary breakfast. The towels and bedding were clean, and the hotel staff kept providing fresh, clean towels throughout the day, which was a nice touch. The beach attendants were friendly, the hotel provides sand toys for kids, and we really enjoyed the live music in the evenings. The location is excellent and made it easy to enjoy the beach. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of our room upon arrival was disappointing. The toilet seat had what appeared to be blood or feces on it, there was urine around the base of the toilet, which made it seem like the bathroom floor hadn't even been mopped, and there were crumbs and bits of food, along with a few dead bugs, around the beds. Thankfully, I had hand sanitizer with me and cleaned the bathroom before my children used it. A few other things to note: the balcony door was difficult to open, there was no screen door, and the complimentary beach chairs are quite small and may not be comfortable for larger adults. The sheets also seemed too small for the mattresses and kept coming off the corners during the night, which made sleeping less comfortable, no mattress covers. The beach itself is beautiful but fairly small, so it becomes crowded quickly. One suggestion for future guests: please rinse the sand off before you are getting into the pool, I witnessed people rinsing off im the pool after beach then after 2-3 minutes they came out and went upstairs. The pool is not a shower and the sand on the bottom of the pool hurt. Also, once you're finished using the beach loungers, remove your towels instead of leaving them behind. It was difficult to tell which chairs were actually occupied and which were available because many loungers had towels left on them. Overall, this hotel has a fantastic location and several nice amenities, but better attention to room cleanliness and a few small improvements would make a big difference. * also bring water shoes, the rocks at the beach are very painful*

I give this place more of a 3.8. We arrived early Saturday hoping to maybe check in a little early…read morethe very nice young lady at the counter was accommodating but said room wasn't ready but for a $50.00 up charge she will put our room at top of cleaning list with house keeping.. Fantastic let's do that. In the mean time feel free to use the pool, bathroom on the left to change. Went the pool. Two pools, not huge but has a little bar. The pool wasn't crowded but we struggled to find a chair that wasn't reserved with a towel; we spotted 1 empty chair under an umbrell, as we approached a young gentleman grabbed the chair at took it across the pool to the umbrella his family was under. Lol. Okay. We just sat our things on the concrete under the umbrella hoping it wouldn't be long and enjoyed the pool. After checking a couple times and our encounter with the OTHER, older front desk lady; our room was ready at 4. That's check in time. The room was large and pretty nice; we did notice the floors were a bit "damp". The little patio with the chairs and view, very nice. We were able to hear the live music coming from marina bar as we were sitting outside of our room taking in the view. We took out a paddle boat that was complimentary at check in. The lake itself is very nice, pretty peaceful considering it sits smack-dab in the middle of a neighborhood. What makes my review a 3.8 isnt the accommodation. Recommended. Its front desk staff, in particular the second one i mentioned. She should enjoy her job more.

I hate writing more negative reviews but here we are. We stayed here for what was planned to be two…read morenight staycation, the room we had was one with a lake view which I was so excited for. When I got in the room it just felt dirty, the carpet felt gross, the lights on the wall didn't work and there were bugs in the corner. Something I wish that was disclosed before staying, you Couldn't even open the screen because they were right up against it trying to get in. And I get it, it's in the lake so maybe there's bugs. My problem was that there were dead ones in cobwebs that weren't cleaned by the staff. We ended up checking out a night early and leaving to go back home. Pros: close to a few local restaurants and Almalfi and brickmans is great. We went and had dinner at brickmans that night and that was enjoyable and it's a lake view.

We always have a fantastic time here! Service is always very friendly, hospitable, and welcoming…read moreand the resort and amenities are all very clean and nice. Plus, this resort is in a great location where you can walk to Legoland from here if you want to go. Love hanging out in the main pool area with the slide. Lots of Jacuzzis and firepits throughout the resort. Our room was super nice and I loved the electric fireplace and expansive patio; it really set the mood. They do some cool perks/activities too like free popcorn in the lobby or Sunday Ice Cream Social. We enjoyed playing bingo as well. My one note is that the aqua fitness class at 9 am was short (only 30 minutes). We still enjoyed it but I was hoping to get a full one hour workout in and do more aqua aerobics stuff along with the water fitness. I wish the painting classes were done poolside instead of inside a room, but I am sure there's a reason for that. Love our stay here and definitely recommend.

We come here annually cause my family has a timeshare here and it's usually ok. The rooms are…read morerelatively clean and it's a convenient location. The newer pool area has a water slide. The burgers at the bar there are good. This last time we checked in though, we had major issues with room cleanliness. There were pill and chewing tobacco left in the room, as well as crumbs all over the cabinet, which made us all wonder how well the room was clean. It wouldn't have been a huge deal if it weren't my son's bday and then I basically had to ask for any remedies, which I guess is my own fault cause I didn't know what to ask for. We ended up getting some reward points and some dining credit which ended up not even paying for the whole meal. I guess what I'm trying to say is, they do try and the place is normally a good find but I probably wouldn't shell out money to stay here if I didn't have a timeshare to offset the cost. Though the private entrance to Legoland is a nice plus.

Overall, we had an enjoyable relaxing stay for just 1 night. Guys at valet were friendly. Front…read moredesk staff were also friendly. Asked for a late check out however was told they cannot consider until morning of. Was given 1 more hour for a 1pm check out. Valet is only $5 more than self parking-- a no brainer. The lobby is gorgeous. Really cool that you can take the golf cart shuttle that comes every 20 minutes to the other 2 resorts for their restaurants. We were disappointed that we didn't get to ride bikes as per the perk of being guests here however we were refunded the resort fee due to this situation. There was a weird smell in the room like as if they sprayed something to mask a scent. We didn't make a fuss about it but did let them know as they asked for feedback at checkout. 24/7 pretty stocked and well maintained gym with cold towels in a fridge and towels, water dispenser. The pool is heated to 80 degrees. We got the enjoy a night swim after dinner. They had a large hot tub with large lounge area with fireplace. Game area with a pool table ( missing balls and rack thing), connect four, ping pong, jenga? Poolside lounge chairs very comfy. Enjoyed reading my book there and swimming in the large pool. We enjoyed an early dinner at their on site restaurant 20/twenty. The room was comfortable with comfortable bedding. The balcony was really crammed. Kinda weird they didn't have a fridge or a microwave in the room. You can use the microwave at the lobby convenient store. Room service was nice with healthy options. We opted for an acai bowl which my son and shared. There is a poolside restaurant you can grab food to eat at the pool or bring it back to your room. We got chicken tenders to snack on $24 but we were hungry, it was convenient and great!

"I been up straight for nine days, I need a spa day"…read more(Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Big Sean) A family wedding brought us to the Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa for a three night stay. It was one of the best and most gorgeous hotel complexes we've ever seen. The spiffy main lobby started things off for us- it was huge with all sorts of cozy seating areas. Over the next few days, we used it as a rendezvous site to schedule early morning strategy sessions with my relatives to map out the day's activities. Let's talk customer service. The front desk personnel were all fantastic. The servers and bartenders and everyone we met were all fantastic. Smiles, courtesy, helpfulness, were everywhere. Our room was big and comfortable with plenty of charging outlets, a comfortable bed, and a big bathroom with a big shower. We had two breakfasts at the 20|Twenty restaurant (see separate review) that were very good, we had a private brunch on the fourth-floor deck, and we attended an outdoor wedding that was incredible. They have a beautiful pool with cabanas, a billiards table, outdoor games and a smoothie bar to help you cool off when those San Diego temperatures flirt with the 100-degree mark. The hotel gift shop is quite large by hotel standards and has a full-blown coffee shop with a barista to craft your lattes, cappuccino, macchiatos and the like. And then there was the on-site wedding on a Saturday night. Signage was everywhere, directing us to the cocktail hour, ceremony site, reception, after-party and Sunday morning brunch. The wedding locations were beautiful -the cocktail spaces, the seating and ceremony site, the reception and dance floor, and pretty much every single component of the wedding. What a fantastic job. Shout outs to Al at the front desk who graciously helped us with a late checkout request, and to Digna, our server at the 20|Twenty restaurant with a 1,000-megawatt personality. PRO TIP Ask for an extra room key, because you need to pop it into the slot by your room door to turn on the lights and such. We learned that if you left the room without leaving a room key in the slot, the AC will shut off and the room will warm up quickly. We only did that once!
