I’m going to try to be as polite as I can in this review, but take my words seriously when I say RUN AWAY!!!! This place is absolutely DISGUSTING! Bed had various stains and burn holes. It was so hard it felt like it was just stacked plywood with bedding on it. There wasn’t a single thing in the room that wasn’t is disrepair. We walked in looked at the room, and walked right back into the office and gave our keys back and immediately booked somewhere else. Everything in the room top to bottom was dirty, stained, or broken. There wasn’t literally someone living in a van outside the room. I could go on and on. I’ll let my attached photo’s tell the rest of the story.

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.

Economically Nice
Need some TLC. Room and linen worn with holes in blankets. They did freshen up the linen and removed the trash. Nice people. Walking distance from beach and Village. Descent price.

The hotel is very cute, I enjoyed my stay. It had a kittenette - stove, small fridge with a freezer, and microwave.
The bathroom had a blow dryer, that is always nice. Thank you to the lady at the window - I was able to check in a little before 3 pm.

Average Stay
We had a late check in and the clerk was completely disinterested in helping us. He didn't give us the Wi-Fi information, the TV didn't work and the beds were VERY hard.

Check in was smooth and there was plenty of parking. The room was simple but clean. The bed was not great. I asked for an extra pillow and the man at the front desk said he would bring one, but never did. The walls were thin and we could hear people yelling late at night and early morning. It served its purpose- a quick night in Carlsbad. If all you need is a nights sleep this place will do.
