Carlsbad, CA Marriott Properties
Anyone have a good/bad review of the FFI, CY or RI in Carlsbad? They're all close in miles/dollars.

No experience, but w/ FFI you get 10pts & brekkie, CY 10pts & no brekkie & RI 5pts & brekkie.
Cheers.

All these properties are in or near business parks. If you have to stay at one of them, I would go for the RI, very quiet at night and some walkable eating choices for lunch.
Can you go a few miles farther south? There is a FS Marriott in Del Mar off the 5 freeway but right on the freeway so it could be noisy if you have a west facing room there.

It's a weekend stay (wedding) with the wife and 1 y/o. I'll probably use points. I'm trying to stay at one of those three because it's close to where the official wedding hotels are and where they shuttle will drop me off.

I stayed at the CY in January and was pleased with my stay.

The Fairfield Inn is just a couple months old so rooms should be nice and rates do include breakfast.
The courtyard was redone a little while ago and rooms are in good shape.
I have not seen the residence inn in a long time. There is a food court with a bunch of restaurants that you can walk to across the street from here.

Prefer RI
I have stayed at both the Courtyard and the Residence Inn, and I definitely prefer the Residence Inn. In fact, it's one of the nicest RIs I've ever stayed at. Good service. Very attractive property.
