The Crossings at Carlsbad Tours

Thank you very nice staff

The good: Nicely situated resort. Close to parks and beaches. Four well kept, heated pools and hot tubs, with enough room and towels for everyone. Clean rooms and facilities. Very friendly and pleasant to deal with staff. Plenty of dining options around, including delivery to whatever spot you're currently resting at. The bad: be ready to pay up - restaurants, take out, snacks, and beverages all cost double to triple the norm around these parts, within the resort as well as surrounding areas. I booked a waterfront room, but got one that was close to water front yet with no windows or view of any sort (behind a waterfront unit). The landscaping and ponds throughout the property looked very rundown. The surrounding beaches are walkable but do not plan to swim - dirty, rocky, full of weeds and growth. Traffic can be seen and heard all around. Our room was separated by interior doors from two others and we could hear every child scream, cough, and conversation from the adjacent units. Each bungalow comes with a parking spot, but you're charged $42/day for parking still.

Hotel wasn't bad worth the price. Area is a little sketchy and had homeless going through trash inside the property. They charge a $20 overnight parking fee but do not provide any type of security. They are also supposed to provide complementary breakfast but the doors were closed. Couldn't check out and no check out box. Had to throw in mail slot.
