Hyatt Place San Diego Vista Carlsbad

We stayed at this hotel on the weekend of the 30 – 31 of January 2016, one night as we were attending the all star soccer tournament of champions in nearby Escondido Ca.
We couldn’t have picked a better hotel !! Are you kidding me ! This hotel had it all. From attentive and personable staff to overall cleanliness throughout.
Because our first game ended at 10:30 am and the second one not slated till 3:30 pm we drove the 13 miles or so from Frances Ryan park in the hopes we can check in early And not wait till 3 pm check in time. Upon arrival entered the hotel reception and was promptly greeted by awesome staff members. Explained the situation to a male staff member and he said «let me take a look «. A couple of strokes on his computer later he promptly let’s us check in at 11:25 am !! First class treatment.
Got our room and my wife and 3 girls walked in to find probably the best room we’ve ever had for the price. Everything was spotless and in order. 2 queen beds with a sleeper sofa that was very comfortable. Great Tv and free wifi !!! (parking was ample as well and no charge !)
We all slept well and there was minimal noise during the night. The free breakfast is awesome and my wife said this free breakfast was the best we’ve had. Top notch !! Great coffee too.
We enjoyed our stay and we will always book here going forward when we visit this area.
Once again I’d like to thank the fine employee that allowed us an early check in. We were given room 238 on Saturday !!
You saved our weekend. Thank you !!!

Stayed here on 1÷22÷16 after my wifes surgery. We needed a late checkin due to delays at the hospital they were willing to accomodate as late as1:30 am. I checked us in at 11:30 pm. The hotel smelled very nice upon entrance the bar/​breakfast area was alive with a great vibe. I went back to the hospital to pickup my wife we areived at 2:00 am. My wife had not eaten fot 26 hours at this point. They have ²⁴⁄₇ food menu which was great. Michelle was awesome she went above and beyond to make iur stay as comfortabke as possible. I thought the rioms are well layed out weither for business or for a family. Room was clean and bed was comfy. I had heard a lot about their free breakfast and it was great iwent back for seconds. There is plenty of free parking also and shopping is right down the street. I highly recommend this place.
People were very friendly and there is just something about the social atmosphere in the bar/​breakfast area that brings out the best in everyone around you.
My only OFI’s (opertunities for improvement) would be there was no microwave in room, and it was not apparent to me where the front desk was upon arrival.
Oh yeah one more thing if Michelle is not the manager she should be as I watched her bust her butt all night. She is due for a performance review raise.

So far so good, we arrived today to the newly built Hyatt Place on S. Melrose in Carlsbad, about a 10 – 15 minute drive to the ocean.
Greeted at the front desk with a smile, our checkin was seamless and fast. I’d purchased 2 nights on Expedia for I think $ 159/​night.
The room was larger than expected, a living room area is first, then divided by a half wall is the bedroom and bathroom area.
Living room has a nice desk with lots of wall plugs for computer or phone charging, free wi-​fi, large L shaped couch (someone could sleep there if need be) sits across from a small fridge and counter area. Room was clean and tidy.
Beds are comfy, the bathroom has shower and toilet room separated from sink.
There’s a small outdoor pool and hot tub, continental breakfast is served with hot items such as eggs, pancakes, toast, plus cereal, bagels, etc.
Located only a few miles from family, this will be a place I’d choose while visiting again.

I wanted to take my son to Legoland for his 3^rd birthday, but Legoland Hotel was really expensive. We went to AAA to book the hotel and buy discounted park tickets. The agent suggested this hotel and one other one. Both were a good $ 200 less than Legoland Hotel but he suggested the Hyatt Place because it was newer.
We checked in and she asked us which floor we preferred and my husband said the first floor for easy access to the car and not having to haul out luggage up the elevator. She said everything else was free like wifi. She never mentioned the $ 15 a night holding fee.
The room was near a side entrance/​exit so my husband moves the car there. The room was large and my husband liked the electronic wall hub and mentioned that he could’ve brought his Xbox. The couch had some stains and one of the cushions was ripped. The bathroom was a nice size but was kind of annoyed that there wasn’t a tub. There was a large stand up shower. It was nice but I have a 3 year old and it would’ve been nice to know at check in that the room didn’t have a tub. There were handprints on the back of the bathroom door left over from the last occupants.
As my son napped I was reading other Unilocal reviews and saw that there was a free shuttle to Legoland so I went to inquire and made a reservation after deciding on times with my husband. The free breakfast was good. Lots of options. We checked in for the shuttle and the driver pulled up and put out a step stool while my husband put the stroller in the back. They did not provide a car seat or booster seat and I’m not sure if they even have them. The driver drove really fast. 65mph on the street. She drove so fast that the step stool fling around to the door and she said «opps». I saw her drop off log and asked if there was an airport near by which she ignored. The only time
She talked was when my husband talked to her in Spanish.
Our pick up time was 4:30. A shuttle pulled up and I saw Hyatt. This van did have 3 car seats and 2 booster chairs in it. Clue number one that we had gotten on the wrong shuttle. So we got on a shuttle for Hyatt House and the driver said that this wasn’t the first time people had gotten on the wrong shuttle. Honest mistake but If that’s happened before then common sense would dictate that the hotels would indicate that when booking the shuttles. She called Hyatt Place and they said they would send the shuttle back to Legoland. She dropped up back at Legoland at 4:40, ten minutes past our pick up time. I think they could’ve waited a bit. Over 45 minutes and 2 angry calls later the shuttle arrives at 5:30. Still no car seats by the way. It took him less than 20 minutes to get back to the hotel in the «traffic» that the hotel said it took him 45 minutes to pick us up in. The Hyatt House driver said that they have no way to contact the drivers unless they bring their personal cell phones with them.
The hotel is a non smoking hotel but I constantly smelled smoke in our room as we were next to an exit and people would huddle by the door and smoke.
Lessons learned the hard way.
Only at checkout when I asked about the discrepancy in the bill and what was charged did I learn about the $ 15 a night hold for room incidentals.

Perfect! Very clean and huge rooms! The front desk people were all very nice and the breakfast buffet is the best I’ve had at a hotel and I’ve stayed at a lot of hotels. Highly reccomend!

I wish I could give a negitive 5 star review but where to start, we were rushed through the check in process to start, we were told that it is a pet friendly hotel which it is NOT, the toilet wouldn’t flush, the rooms are overly perfumed, the bed is horrible, the air conditioning doesn’t work… I could go on and on.
By far the worst hotel we’ve ever stayed in and we’ve stayed in quite a few during our multi state move. We’ve never had a problem until here.
This hotel is not safe for you or your pets unless you want to leave them in the car during your stay.

Great little Econo hotel with very good customer service. One of the front desk clerks Ann was very helpful finding me some cough medication for my wife without leaving the facility. The little complementary breakfast café is very convenient also with simple foods.

Convenient and clean. Staff was very friendly. Complimentary breakfast was decent and had a good selection. They even had pumpkin spice syrup for the coffees. Definitely recommend for anyone staying in the area.
The peanut butter Reese’s cookies were pretty amazing and the front desk person warmed them up for us — nice touch.

Excellent hotel! We booked with reward point and the stay was very pleasant.
Very clean and well decorated lobby and room. Spacious with sitting area, refrigerator in room, free wifi and close parking. Shuttle to Legoland (btw Legoland sucks, go to Disney by any means, Legoland is not even worth half the money as Disney. You may go if you happen to buy the southern cal pass like us.)
Nice hot breakfast with lots of choice, fruits. Nice small gym (though I don’t get it why people want to exercise while vacation?)

This hotel is lovely, peaceful and great for what you pay. We got a large room with two queens and a couch.
Staff is really nice. They offer complimentary breakfast and wifi. Their breakfast is really good. They offer several options (coffee, tea, all type of juices, water, milk, cream, eggs, sausage, waffles, fruits, pastries…) everything tastes good and fresh.
Easy check-​in and check-​out. Ok pool. Easy access to our room.
My only complaint for this hotel is housekeeping. They seem a little bit lazy for some stuff I saw in the room.

I’ve stayed at Hyatt Place hotels before and have been satisfied every time, and this one was no different. The rooms were well-​furnished, clean, and modern, and the rest of the hotel was very inviting. I liked the feature of using your room key to turn on both the lights and the air conditioning, both of which were nice. The complimentary breakfast exceeded my expectations, though the coffee was a little watery. WiFi was fast and didn’t lag. The service at the front desk was beyond phenomenal. Those people thoroughly care about their jobs and about making their guests feel right at home.
My one and only complaint is the room’s smell. It was extremely musty. I came in on day 1 and after the conference on day 2 and could smell it both times. Maybe it was from the air not flowing in the room.
Otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely return for another visit.

Stayed here on a Saturday night while we have a San Diego Vaca weekend. From checkin in we were beyond impressed. Staff is so nice and professional. Room was clean and simple/​comfortable. Breakfast included had terrific quality of fresh fruit and juices as well as oatmeal, etc (makes this vegan happy!). There were also waffles, ssg, eggs, bread, donuts, etc for my meat eater bf. We really enjoyed our stay here! Just a few miles inland and really close to
Carlsbad village.
Overall a great experience!

Wow. Best service my wife have ever had at a hotel. From check in to check out the service was on point. Everyone said hello and was helpful. Breakfast in the morning is amazing. If you stay here take advantage and they also let you bring to your room. Close to a lot of shopping, resturant and not too far from beach. Will stay here again for sure.

My family and I stayed here this weekend and we were blown away with the staff. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. They were so sweet to our daughters (ages 2 and 7). The beds were comfy and the rooms were large. The free breakfast was really good. They had something for everyone. The location is great, about 5 miles to Legoland. There is an awesome pizza place across the street, check it out if you’re there (Flippin’ Pizza). We would definitely stay here again.

Stayed here on recent trip to legoland. It’s about a 12imute drive away. Not bad at all. The room was clean, very roomy and the bed was firm yet super comfortable. Breakfast is great! Saved ourselves the cost of a meal. and saves time since you just have to walk into their dining area. Friday they had little breakfast biscuit sandwiches, oatmeal w different toppings, bagels, pastries, toast, cereal… yogurt, fruit and milk, apple and orange juices.
The coffee was good too. Will stay again if in the area. Only con, for the price I would have expected some help w our luggage but they don’t have bell service. Free parking and free wifi are pluses!

I recently stayed at this Hyatt with family for a nearby wedding. Though, nothing fancy, I really cannot make any complaints about this hotel. It is clean, with a friendly staff, has comfy beds and a large free breakfast. I didn’t try the pool or workout room so don’t have a lot to say. It is mainly in a business district, so there are not views and there is not a whole lot around. We checked in easily and quickly, and slightly early. They had a fridge so I had no problem chilling bottled water and champagne. There is a big screen TV, but oddly placed, not really possible to watch it from bed.
The breakfast was impressive. I ran down to grab coffee, juice and muffins to take to the hotel room, but there was lots of fruit, yogurt, granola, cereal and hot foods in a buffet. I also like how the breakfast goes until 10, so late risers like myself don’t miss out.
All in all, no complaints and a great experience!

I have no complaints about this hotel. There’s an outdoor heated pool and spa. There are pool towels, so you don’t have to bring down your room towels. Rooms come with a small fridge and small coffee maker.
The breakfast is a buffet, and it’s complimentary. They have a variety of juices and cereals. The sausages and pastry are great. Other items are eggs, waffles, bread, bagels, jelly, and cream cheese. There’s a cool toaster to warm up the bread and bagels. They also have coffee.
They gave each mom a rose for Mother’s Day. We would definitely come back. It’s great for families, but it’s not noisy.

We loved staying here last night! The staff is super nice, especially Darron? I think that was his name. He opened the two bottles of wine we got and he’s very easy to talk to.
Free wifi with a strong signal.
Complimentary breakfast with cereal, egg sandwiches, waffles, fruit, and oatmeal.
²⁴⁄₇ food. We got the turkey club around 11:30pm and it was delicious!
No complimentary water so grab some from Walmart if you don’t like tap water.
Heated pool and spa!
The «guide» on the tv doesn’t tell you what’s playing, it just gives you the channel names. Not that many channels either but if you’re like us, you don’t really need it!
Lovely shower.
Small closet. Has an ironing board and all, though.
Nothing within walking distance so have a car.
Beautiful, spacious room with a huge couch that pulls out into another king size bed. The actual bed was super comfortable.
I can’t say enough good things. We only stayed for a night but it was an incredible and comfortable night.

***Costco members get 10% off their daily rate.***
I stayed here for four nights and it was great. The rooms were clean and spacious. The mini-​fridge was empty and had room for anything you need (and there is a grocery store nearby).
The business center is free and offers free printing. Free WiFi anywhere in the hotel and you can connect to their printer. The gym is small, but sufficient. They do not charge a resort fee for any of those things.
Free parking and free breakfast, which includes hot sandwiches, like egg and cheese muffins, and high-​quality tea (Tazo). They take special requests if you have dietary restrictions, for no extra charge.
They have an exceptionally well-​run shuttle service that will take you anywhere nearby, from Legoland to Trader Joe’s.
The hotel tries to be a home away from home, and I think it does that very well.

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. As we entered the lobby, we were greeted with a warm smile. Check in was fast and easy. Our room was really nice. Two queen beds and a sofa sleeper. The room was clean and fully stocked. I slept very well on the comfy pillow top mattress. The flat screen TV was huge. The continental breakfast had great choices: oatmeal with a variety of toppings, cold cereal, sausage, eggs, toast, fruit, yogurt, waffles, juice and coffee.
Hung out by the pool. There is a cabinet stocked with clean fresh towels. The pool is small and max depth is 5.5 feet. It was perfect for the kids to play in. The hot tub water looked a little cloudy to me. Hmmm. But I saw one guy get in so I guess that’s OK.
The hotel also offers free wi-​fi, three computers for guest use and a gym. The outside scenery is beautiful. I could have stayed a couple of more nights. Great experience.
