Anyone interested in sharing accommodations at the Marbrisa in Carlsbad? I’m looking at options running from $297 per night that sleeps 4 to $418 per night that sleeps 8.
It is a bit of a distance. I figured we would take the coaster train from Carlsbad to downtown. It is close to the resort.
I think you are underestimating how far away it is. I know someone who lives in Carlsbad that gets an hotel downtown because it's so far away. The coaster is an hour away. Then you'll have to take the trolley to get to the convention center from Santa Fe Depot. Depending on how long you have to wait for a connection, that's another 10-20 minutes. Factoring the time it takes you to get to the station in Carlsbad, let's just round it off to a 1.5 hour commute each way. To add to that, the last Coaster heading north leaves at around 7pm. You'll miss out on all the night time activities unless you find another way home. That would be an expensive Uber ride. Yes, there are other ways other than the Coaster to get from downtown to Carlsbad on public transit, but those ways take much longer.
I have no idea if this is a glitch, but if anyone is staying longer than a week, try going to the Hilton site for Hilton Bayfront. I was just able to book our two rooms for $270 a night each for July 18-28! I am so excited I'm shaking! I'm traveling with my (divorced) parents, a friend, and our (will be) 18 month old so securing the room close by is such a relief. Hopefully they don't cancel on me or something @_@
Good find. I hope it works out. I was able to do something similar at the Manchester Hyatt several years ago. That prompted a run on rooms. They closed the loophole, but did honor any reservations already made. It worked out great. On the other end of the scale I did something similar for a different con at an Embassy Suites and they cancelled the reservations citing an unintentional glitch. At least there I complained and while they didn't reinstate the reservation, they did give me vouchers for two free nights at any Embassy Suites in the future.
hmm...It looks like they'll take the reservation, but when I check for July 18 - 26, they give the following rates for the room I selectedJul 18 - 21 . - $218/dayJul 22 - 25 - $402/dayAlso, there is a deposit required that is NOT refundable for any reason
