라 퀸타 인 & 스위트 바이 윈덤 칼스바드 - 레고랜드 에어리어

I'll start with two positives which were 1) it had a cute outdoor fireplace with seating area and 2) it's easy on/off to I-5 freeway and close to grocery and restaurants. Now the issues. Staff wasn't very friendly (and we chatted with several). Our room was basically clean but definitely needed some TLC. The caulk in the shower was deteriorating and absent in some spots. The shower enclosure was yellowing (should have been white). There were cobwebs in the corners of the room. After being there for 2 days, we found ants in our room. We were given another room which also had ants. The third room didn't have ants but the outlet in the bathroom didn't work (and the GFI didn't work to reset it). We told the front desk and they said that maintenance would come up but they never did. So I had to use other outlets for my hairdryer and curling iron...not convenient. There was supposed to be a Fitness Center but it was just an empty room. It did have breakfast included but the eggs and potatoes were not good. I stuck to yogurt and the prepackaged muffins. Even though this hotel was cost effective, I would NEVER return to this facility, and seriously question the Wyndam brand.

The hotel overall seems quite old and dated but it gets the job done. It was incredibly clean considering age. The bed was pristine and super comfy. The bathroom was old but still clean. These are my two deal breakers and neither was a problem which is fantastic. The highway noise was pretty high but otherwise it was a decent stay. Breakfast was impressive and you could get a good hot meal. Staff was helpful and friendly and I got a complimentary water. If you need a safe location and budget friendly option last minute on the same day like me, this is just fine.
