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 price was cheap. Staff were good but the property was old...and it strongly smelled like mold or marijuana the first night. It looked like there was small patched up spot with black mold in the restroom. I toughed it out for the first night since there wasnt any other rooms available but we all felt sick the next morning. I opened the door to get rid of smell and it seemed to work...the following nights the smell had reduced dramatically. Front office staff were notified and it seemed like the room was cleaned and smell almost removed the 2nd night and on. Alot of people with pets and this lady groomed her animal upstairs and broomed all her hairs to the 1st floor! Disguisting! A little ghetto but thats what happens when you wait till the last minute for a legoland vacation. Legoland was less than 1 mile away and the ocean was close too....Overall I would never stay again if I had a choice....but not a good experience with my kids.....

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 will try to avoid Motel 6. Never again. After a long day, we were tired. We didn't realize there were several Motel 6 's in the same area, with different owners. So we had to call each Motel 6 to find our reservation. Thin old towels, pillows, terrible mattress.

Room was smelly, dirty and room didn’t get cleaned daily, sheets towels also not changed . Manager wouldn’t do anything about it. DO NOT RECOMMEND STAYING HERE, worst experience ever ! Couldn’t continue my stay here had to leave early because no one cleaned our room or changed our sheets. Many guests were complaining in lobby about dirty rooms but manager didn’t care .

While our room was very nice and clean, we had two other couples who had a terrible experience. One couple had a bath tub that was dirty and unfinished and sheets were soiled. Our other couple had soiled sheets and was not clean. This is unexceptable when you are paying money for a room and expect a clean room and sheets. I'm sure the other two couples have left a review. Very disappointing.

I appreciated the staff giving me an early check-in for a fair price. It was important for me to get settled-in before I had to attend a training nearby. The area is about 3-miles from a convenience store, so that was slightly a bummer. Even though there was no shampoo and conditioner samples in the bathroom, I was able to buy some in the office for just $1. I didn't rate the property as "safe" because that is not something that can be rated, no matter where you stay. I can say, I did not feel threatened or worried about my safety. In fact, the office staff placed me right above the office, so I could feel as comfortable as possible. Overall, it was a very good experience, and I would rent there again. All the best, Donna
