Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California

    It might have been the huge tub in our room. Because I am a fan of the huge tub, pretty much anytime. Or the fact that when we had a slight problem with noise in our first room, the staff cheerfully moved us to another room that was equally nice. I always appreciate … Continue reading »

West Inn and Suites in Carlsbad, California

  It was the cold milk and cookies at bedtime that did it. That was what made us realize we should have stayed at the West Inn and Suites when we were in Carlsbad. Let me back up.

Pelican Cove Inn Bed and Breakfast in Carlsbad, California

    The feather bed really put this location over the top. Huge, fluffy, and placed on a bed so high we had to use a stool to get in it, it was pretty darn fabulous. We had spent the previous night in Carlsbad at the lovely Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort, but the Pelican Cove … Continue reading »

The Family-Friendly Carlbsbad Inn Beach Resort

    We couldn’t believe it. Here we were in beautiful southern California, on the coast, at the beach, in the middle of summer, and the skies were gray, cloudy and downright unattractive. Surely we had caught California at an unfortunate and inopportune moment and the sun would break through at any moment, flooding the … Continue reading »
