We celebrated our anniversary and stayed at the Tamarack Beach hotel, this was such a great location. We had a beautiful beach view, we were walking distance to the beach and restaurants. This is my go to spot while staying in Carlsbad.

Lobby staff were not very approachable. Always in the back office rather than at the checkin desk. Maintenance and cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful. Air conditioning in room was so loud it would wake you up out of a sleep. Beds were very hard. Definitely an older building that needs some upgrades. Location was great. Close to ocean access and village. Probably wouldn’t stay there again.

Love the fact that the ocean is right across the street and there are plenty of places to eat within walking distance. We stayed for those two reasons but mainly because it is also close to Del Mar where we went for the day to watch the horse races.

They stay was great! Right next to the beach and free parking! The hotel was definitely older. We had mold on both the shower and the curtains, unfortunately. The staff were so accommodating and very nice. And breakfast was excellent. We would stay here again, just wish the hotel was updated!

Loved all that this hotel had to offer (the free parking, breakfast, and property). The room was spacious and clean. However, when we returned from the beach there was zero hot water. We had to call the front desk and when they didn't answer had to walk down to ask about it. It was out for about an hour while we were there-but it would have been good to know (and save some tears from our kids) before we went back to our room and gave them a cold shower. They did call us when it was back on, but it would have been great to have a heads up.
