“Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa offers direct access to LEGOLAND and a family-friendly pool area, though some aspects, like restaurant service and dated rooms, need attention; for business travelers, the nearby Westin might be a better choice. However, the resort's setting and amenities create a solid base for exploring Carlsbad's attractions.”
