Days Inn by Wyndham Carlsbad

A completely awful experience. First, the rooms were filthy and in disrepair. Broken door moldings, and dirty bathrooms. The breakfast was not fit for human consumption. But the BIG thing was, they were supposed to give us 2 nonsmoking rooms. Well, one had clearly been smoked in, so I took that one and gave my wife and daughter the other one. But by morning, my wife's room was filled with fire ants and other bugs. They got into the bed, their towels, and all into their suitcases. Why, you ask? Because the hotel staff and management kept garbage cans and trash bags filled with food was (pizza boxes, fast food bags, rotten food from the breakfast) simply piled up near a garbage can near the rooms. (See photos.) We didn't see the trash when we checked in at night, but by morning the trash with all the insects making a straight line to the rooms were right there. Told management. After a trip to the caverns we came back 5 hours later. Nothing moved or cleaned up. This place is a dump.

This place has pleasant desk workers and soft beds. Our room had a TV, phone, iron and ironing board, clock, microwave, fridge with no freezer, and hairdryer. The breakfast had sausage, eggs and cheese, cereal, coffee, juice, pancakes, yogurt, bagels, muffins, and toast. Any place that has meat like sausage for breakfast gets an extra point!

Very disappointed and felt unsafe. It’s going under renovation—but the worksite is kept clean or maintained. Lots of trash and garbage throughout. Our room was renovated but no hot water. Was advised by front desk to run water for a least 30 minutes. It became warm ish. Too wasteful. Neighbors next door smoking pot (legal here in NM but I thought rooms were non-smoking period). Very sketchy overall. Was going to stay the whole weekend—NOPE! I’m eating another night’s worth of charges which sucks.

We picked it because the price was reasonable. We pulled in later in the evening and I was a little worried because the parking lot was full of guys standing around drinking beer and being loud. I assumed they were probably workers from the oil field and thought we were in for a long, loud night. After we waded through the guys in the parking lot and got to our room, the room was nice and clean. The air conditioner had a strong smell of mildew but it worked and was quiet. Surprisingly enough, around 1030, the guys in the parking lot quieted down and I didn't hear another noise all night. When we left the next morning all the trash had been picked up and placed in trash cans. I'd probably stay here again.

Check it twice Assigned room had beds unmade: no housekeeping when we arrived; 2d room: both coffee pot & microwave didn't work

Light in room needed fixing, inline phone broken, restroom/bathroom area roof area broken and missing fixtures.
