stay away from this motel, they are bad for the customer bad for the hotel industry. Why the city of Carlsbad allowed such a business to offer its services to the public, they hold a prime location but used to to abuse customers. Motel 6 headquarter should think twice about this franchise they are tarnishing the image. Untrained and unprofessional staff

The worst experience ever. The room smelled horrible. A combination of humidity, stale cigarette and the disinfectant they use to “clean” the rooms. One of the sheets had a blood stain, the tub was clogged, there were crumbs everywhere and the fridge wasn’t working. Our food spoiled because of it. I tried talking to the manager about the issues and he started yelling at me. As previously stated, this was the worst experience of my life.

I have to say that this particular place has improved since I was here last, almost a year ago I believe. The beds are more comfortable and the cleanliness of the bathroom was a pleasant surprise. Also seeing that this place comes standard with both a mini fridge and a microwave without the need to upgrade to a higher priced room really made this place worth while. And along with that, you have a lot of dinning and shopping options with the premium outlet center close by.

Lego Land trip

Hotel was close to Lego land and close to different options for dining. Hotel room was clean and great for the price. However it seamed that there was a room which looked to have a patron living there… the curtain was stained yellow from cigarette smoke. Also while we were there, in one of the rooms a few doors down, people were getting arrested and the CSI team was called out to the scene. Not sure what happened, but it sure made for a scary situation.

Room service is so horrible. You can request service multiple times. We called everyday to get room service and only got one time. And then when they did finally come that one time they made us put the sheets on the bed. Like I came back from work and there was just new sheets sitting there folded up and the sheets were off my bed. No one was there during the day to hinder them from doing there job. I stayed for 2 weeks paid $1800 up front to get disrespected and no room service. Hope you guys do better for the people who stay there because it is really ridiculous that you can’t do a simple job

It’s a motel 6

Nothing great other than the location. Right next to Costco and Legoland. Tons of restaurants nearby. Surprisingly the pool was clean and a small family actually swam in it when we were there. It was inconvenient to borrow the hairdryer by swapping your ID at the front desk. We only borrowed one time not worth borrowing again. Walls were thin, loud running water from other side and people talking out front late in the evening. Would stay again because the location is just that good.
