We enjoyed our stay at Holiday Inn in Carlsbad. Had a relaxing stay. Had dinner at the on site restaurant , Stratus and enjoyed a yummy and healthy fish dinner. We then sat down around an outdoor fire pit in the courtyard and then walked around the courtyard. It wasn’t very crowded so our stay was very relaxing and peaceful.
