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.
We don’t normally write reviews for hotels where we have not actually stayed.
But we made an exception this time because our PR contact person, Hilary Townsend with Townsend PR, had invited us to dinner at one of the restaurants by the hotel, Bistro West, and was just so kind and friendly that we enjoyed every minute.
It’s always a little awkward when you plan a meal with a stranger you have never met, which happens often in our business. We meet PR people from agencies, hotels, restaurants, etc. on every trip and, even though we may have some reservations about meeting strangers, we have never been disappointed. It seems people in that business are just generally pretty nice and friendly.
Hilary was no exception. We met her at the entrance to Bistro West after wandering up the street in the wrong direction because we were sure that was the right direction and…well. We finally made it. She ushered us into the restaurant where the delicious smells and lovely ambience made us even hungrier than we already were. The hotel actually has two restaurants right next door which make it very convenient when you are staying there. They also offer a sumptuous free breakfast buffet right in the hotel, so you never have to leave for a meal.
