“Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa shines as a family-centric getaway, largely due to its dedicated staff and the exclusive entrance to LEGOLAND; the heated pools, complete with a waterslide, are a clear win for kids. The hotel balances resort amenities with convenience, though the extra fees feel a bit tacked-on; still, the kindness of the staff makes it a place worth considering for your Carlsbad stay.”
