My husband and I needed a place to stay for one Friday night in the Carlsbad area -- a challenge, because most hotels require two-night stays on weekends -- and were happy with our choice of the Grand Pacific Palisades. Our Deluxe King room ($159) overlooked the parking lot, but we spent so little time there that we didn't mind.... More

We had a great time at the Palisades! We were able to walk to Lego Land, short drive to the outlets, In and Out was around the corner and the beach was down the street too. Our room over looked the ocean and the field of flowers - beautifu! It was a great time and a wonderful place to stay. More

Our recent stay was our 2nd visit to this property, the 1st being in 2010. It is still beautiful and extremely comfortable. The 2 bedroom suite is very spacious and very attractively decorated. The kitchen is outfitted with everything one might need for a short stay with plenty of dishes, pots & pans, pot holders,kitchen utensils, soap, place mats, etc.... More

We went to Legoland and the Music Museum right down the street as well as Sea World... More

We stayed at the Grand Pacific Palisades for two weeks in April '12. We had a great time and the resort worked as a base for our trips to various parts of SoCal. We arrived late(ish) on Sunday evening. The first impressions were good: the check-in was friendly and efficient and the lobby is nice and light. However, as we... More

I must say our stay here was too brief. The service was great from the time we arrived until the time we left. We were greeted with a smile wherever we went and the facilities were all first class. The only negative I can give is the weather, which was unseasonably cool for San Diego. Fortunately the hotel was so... More
