The cleanest, kept up and quietest motel 6 I've been to. My second visit. Friendly staff, not hiding in the back.
Very clean rooms, very quiet, I love the memory foam pillows. The maids are very nice, ice machine works great with good tasting ice. Very reasonable prices and the neighborhood of course is lovely cuz its Carlsbad. Stayed here 2 times now to enjoy the beach and the ocean. I will stay here again next year for sure. About $230 for 2 nites which is a steal in this economy. Our room actually had 2 queens and 1 bed was in a whole separate room. The bathroom was clean.
Stayed here a few times now. Nice hotel right in Carlsbad CA. Beds are good, shower is great, room is spacious, and clean. Service is good too. Enough parking, had no problem, and close to Carlsbad village, and beach. Ya your not right on the beach, but for a fraction of the price, plenty close enough. Great place. Would definitely recommend.
We stayed here a night after flying in to the area and just needing a place to rest before we started our adventure the next day. Our room was clean, the check in was simple, and the room had a modern updated feel to it. You do get some noise from the highway so if you are light sleeper that could be a problem. Overall it is a budget hotel and it served the purpose of giving us a place to rest before starting our 8 day adventure in the area.
The people who run this place are helpful & friendly. The rooms are clean, the location is quiet. It is next to a freeway, but the noise is not noticeable from the rooms. We always stay here when visiting the area.
Stayed here for one night. Nice clean rooms , very spacious. The motel looks pretty new. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Minor issue - super close to the highway, can hear the road noise. Helps to run the AC to get some white noise going.
This property is impressive, and the staff is fantastic. They are very welcoming. My Service Dog was welcomed without issue or judgment. Accomadationscare great for the value. My room was very spacious and clean. I will be returning for future conferences.Great location for our needs. Room was clean and big.All employees we interacted with were so friendly!.I hope next time we return we will have another good experience here. Nick we will return.
