Learn more about San Marcos

Between golf courses and craft breweries, San Marcos offers a perfect blend of recreation and relaxation. Twin Oaks Golf Club and Lake San Marcos Executive Course welcome players of all skill levels under reliably blue skies. The impressive California State University campus adds youthful energy to this North County gem. After a round of golf, sample local IPAs at the city's surprisingly numerous craft breweries where bartenders discuss hop varieties with evangelical fervor. For outdoor enthusiasts, Montiel and San Elijo Hills dog parks provide scenic spots to stretch legs – canine or otherwise. Lucky Strike and Regal Edwards deliver entertainment options when the rare rainy day appears, though locals insist such weather is merely a rumor.

Motel 6 Carlsbad, CA Beach

Motel 6 Carlsbad, CA Beach

2/10 Terrible
"The room itself, was OK. The beds in the room, were the worst mattresses. I believe I’ve ever slept on in a hotel, in my entire life. I’m not joking when I say I had to lay like a snake on the mattress just to avoid the huge holes that were all over the mattress. My daughter‘s mattress looked like a Teepee. It’s stuck up in the middle and was lower on each side. I couldn’t get an extra blanket for my son to sleep on a blowup mattress that we brought. I vowed when I left that hotel, that I will never stay at a motel six again. Spend the Extra 40 bucks and find a better hotel chain."
