Precious Commodity Priced Just Right

The hotel staff was extremely accommodating, very friendly and made me feel welcomed. They are within walking distance from literally anything you could possibly want food and drink wise, including the beach. Very nice atmosphere, convenient dog and smoke park on the property. Not once did I catch second hand smoke from anyone, nice.

People that owned and operated the property were nice. It’s very outdated and needs maintenance. You pay for convenience to the beach. Not bad, not good.

The location was the only good thing about this place. The walls were so dirty inside of the room and in the bathroom that I didn’t want to touch anything. The train station is behind the motel so prepare to be woken by train horns all night. I asked for a refund and they offered to move me to another room. I would never stay there again.

Its good that it is so cheap for the area. But it is cheap for a reason. The room is run down and you hear street traffic all night. It was fine for just me crashing but I would not take my family here.

Great value in an excellent location. If your on a budget, its hard to beat the value in Carlsbad. Yes, if your a light sleeper, the street noise can be a deterrent. But you can bring ear plugs. Very walkable too many options. Staff pleasant & professional, rooms clean, updated & comfortable. Good cable tv options. Yes the walls are thin, but your not at the Marriott. I've stayed many times & will stay again in the future.
