I had a bike rack on my MY and panicked until I saw the pull thru. Whew! I was at 16% and had to drive to Riverside county. I wish there were charging stations in Fallbrook which is the East side of Camp Pendleton. Otherwise, we have to get to Temecula. Sometimes that traffic is ridiculous and definitely makes us anxious about making it home. Thank you for this spot. I see Northern Pine Brewery, Harbor Freight and a coin laundry in this parking lot. I k ow there's a neighborhood Walmart and other places on the opposite side. All in all, Great charging in the city of Oceanside.

We stayed at the Legoland Castle hotel for the first time recently and we had a fantastic time…read more When you go to book the hotel you'll notice that it is a little bit on the pricier end (Though it is still cheaper than staying in a Disneyland hotel and it provides more!) We went back-and-forth with if we wanted to stay there and pay that cost, or if we should stay at another local hotel for our visit. We are glad that we stayed at the hotel. Though the price is high, they provide a lot of great entertainment and things for the children to do right within the hotel. Also, the theming for the hotel is so cool for kids. We loved that there were two separated spaces for adults and kids. We ate at the hotel as well for breakfast and dinner. The food was good enough. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad at all.

Of all child based attractions in Southern California, Legoland has to be among the worst…read more Parking It took us 35 minutes just to wait in line to be let into the parking lot. As you are driving, the main line turns into two lanes, and then three, and then multiple, with nobody directing traffic--so of course you have a-holes speeding from the back of the line to cut in front when a new lane opens. Actual parking was surprisingly open for the shitshow line you have deal with to get there. Food Absolutely disgusting. I ordered "summer special" BBQ burger for $22 and had to choke down every bite(burgers are typically the one safe menu item I can order if I'm unsure of quality--not here!). Luckily I was able to at least wash that down with a $15 12 oz beer--which took me a good 20 minutes to figure out how/where to buy. My gf order Udon noodles that was served in so much sauce that it looked like ramen soup. They topped it with steamed shredded chicken that looked like cat food. She also ordered a water bottle for $7 that they failed to bring out to her, and when she went to go get it, they gave her a warm one that had been sitting out when she specifically asked for a cold one--mind you it's an 81 degree day and the air conditioning isn't working inside the cafe area. Rides If I had to do it again, I'd get the fast pass, but the day was already half over after two rides. We were halfway through the first line when we downloaded the app and looked at the wait time, which was 65 minutes, so we waited it out for this ride that lasted two minutes. Not wanting to face the same fate, we went to a ride that the app said only had a 15 minute wait--we ended up waiting another hour. Water Park Feeling majorly let down by everything else so far, we figured we'd try to make the best of the day and spend the afternoon at the water park. So we waited in line, just to be told it's an extra $30 per person to get in. At this point I started laughing to myself in disbelief, unsure of how this place remains open. There is a smaller splash pad by Lego Movie World, that we went to instead, and kids were running and slipping and falling everywhere. They need to add some sort of traction to the ground--I can believe they haven't had a lawsuit from a kid cracking their head open yet. Direction Staffing is rude and clearly inadequate. Nobody seemed to want to be bothered with questions, and nobody had answers anyways. There are not enough directional signs, I had to track down an employee to ask where a restroom was, and had to download the app/map for everything else. Final Verdict I will never come back here. I'd rather spend my time and money at the Zoo or go the extra mile for Disney. I actually look forward to this place going out of business. I thought robbery was illegal.

Pleasantly surprised by the Hilton Garden Inn in Carlsbad…read more I stayed here last week while supporting a coworkers event. Since life has been a little crazy, I was unable to book a room until last minute. Somehow this resulted in a very cheap stay in an ocean view king room. The hotel was clean, safe, had accessible parking, and large comfy beds (though their pillows could use an upgrade.) The lobby and outdoor spaces are beachy, with several private patio areas for those looking to linger in the California sun, or go for a swim in their resort style pool. It's also directly across the street from the prettiest beach. Sadly my trip was a turnaround, but I was excited to catch a glimpse of the ocean from my hotel room the next morning. The main reason I chose to dock a star is because my shower was all out of soap, conditioner, and shampoo. Normally I'd bring my own, so I was extra bummed to find these empty.

Cute little outside patio that I used to enjoy my morning coffee! My coworker had an older room that though needed an update , had a lovely, cozy fireplace. The grounds are stunning - I did not get to enjoy the pools due to a busy work schedule but did make a point of walking the golf course each morning! The property is abundant with stunning flowers and I enjoyed a stop to grab a morning coffee and Acai bowl at their marketplace! It's a large property, so be prepared to walk although there are also golf carts to help you get around! Stunning property that was a great spot for a week in Carlsbad

The hotel is very kid friendly with many pools, water slides, splash pad, and fun kids activities. My toddler was always busy and doing something without complaining!! They also offer free kids activities such as necklace making, ice cream scoops, and much more. The staff is very hospitable and makes sure you have everything you need from the moment you arrive. They are very attentive, respectful, and welcoming. They truly make you feel like you're at home. Our room was located in the newly remodeled villas section, which had its own private pool and jacuzzi. It is away from the main pool area, which was much more quiet and more relaxing. They also have an adult pool in the main pool area, which had a view overlooking the breathtaking golf course. Breakfast at The Vue was pretty solid. The food at the main pool was OK, but the food at the adult pool was even better. Overall, I really recommend this resort if you have kids. It has everything you need and you don't really need to leave the property. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. We will be back!

Stopping by the Carlsbad Premium Outlets is a fun outing for anyone looking to shop a nice set of outlet stores in Carlsbad where the weather is typically lovely outside. There are plenty of stores along with some food options. There are some name brand stores and some stores not tied to name brands. There are deals regularly, especially around times like Black Friday and before and after any holiday. I often take a book and read it outside in a comfortable chair (hopefully out of the sun) while waiting for her to shop. When we went with her parents once, I sat with my father-in-law outside and we eventually stopped by Starbucks for a beverage. There are more than 85 stores and restaurants at the Carlsbad Premium Outlets. My wife's favorite is the Ann Taylor Factory Store. There is also a Coach Outlet, Gap Factory, Michael Kors Outlet, and so much more. Some of the restaurant options include a Blaze Pizza, Starbucks (of course!), Jersey Mike's, Ruby's Diner, Rubio's Coastal Grill, Wetzel's Pretzels, Tea Monks, Panda Express, Oasis Tacos, Mot'to Japanese Grill, and Haagen Dazs.
