The room smelled like smoke, there was rust and mold in the shower, none of the lights worked other than the bathroom light. The sink clogged on the first use. The garbage disposal didnt work. The beds had no blankets. When asked for blankets, the attendant only offered more sheets. When we told him about all of these issues he offered a 10% discount. Such poor customer service.

The staff was very kind and helpful but Motel 6/Studio 6 Carlsbad is not maintaining the property. Beds and pillows were uncomfortable, very old and lumpy. AC/Heater, some lights, phone, clock and TV didn't work. Pool hasn't worked for over 1 year. Kitchenette had no frying pan or spatula, also lacked the correct amount of dishes, cups, silverware and basic cooking supplies. The bathroom sink backed up and flooded the room, the water leaked to first level. All of the furniture was severely damaged and dirty, dead cockroaches and live ones were present. The sheets and duvet were thread barren and had holes. They ran out of blankets so we slept using our beach towels from home because we were cold. The following had to be requested and weren't in the room: paper towels, dish soap, sponge, Kleenex, shampoo and conditioner. Picture missing from room only the screws were left. Toilets don't flush well. They didn't sell snacks, water bottles or soda. Other guests stopped me in the hall, elevator, and parking lot to ask me how our room was and then shared the horrors of their rooms. Women talk!!!!!!!!!!!! The manager refunded $48 back to Expedia for us for the inconvenience and moved us to another room that wasn't flooded but it was as run down as the first room. LOCATION WAS PERFECT FOR LEGOLAND!!! But will never go to this hotel again. What a lost opportunity for the company.....diamond in the rough.

When we first got there we had a room with a weird smell and we had to switch. The blankets were very thin. The floor was sticky and felt very dirty. Our friend's room bathroom door could not close. No shampoo, no hair dryer. the couch felt dirty. I couldn't really rest in the place. Worst place we've ever stayed at. Would not recommend.

It was not so good. On the day of my check in the front desk did not come out until a different couple appeared 5-7 minutes. I had been at the front desk and walking around the common area looking for assistance only finding housekeeping. The room needs updates, painted over damaged frames, window shades duct tapped, shear curtains ripped in places. Under the beds and behind the couches disgusting with trash and hair. And roaches so much so that I purchased raid.

There were so many things wrong that are too long to list. Let's start with lack of screens on the windows that were open and allowed a variety of bugs in the room and end with the discovery of roaches in the room. The manager was really good at accommodating the fact that we wanted to leave, he gave no push back and was very professional. I will NEVER stay here again or recommend this location.

I have stayed here because of the price, it for sure needs a lot of up grades, but this time I found a baby roach on the floor in the kitchen area. When we got home, my husband found two more baby roaches in our cooler that we put our food into. It was late when I packed our cooler. Did not see any roaches.
