Worst stay in Carlsbad

As soon as I walked in the door it smelled the counter top and floor was cover in cockroaches. The carpet was full of crumbs and the fridge was full of splattered food.

Incredibly dirty room, I did not stay there

I was in the room all of five minutes before deciding I wasn’t going to stay there. The sheets were dirty, it looked like no one had clean the place in a while, and the entire room was pretty gross. When I went down to the front desk, they told me they would be unable to process my refund until a manager was on duty, which was not going to be until the next day. I’m still waiting to hear back on my refund, but I’m so glad I stayed somewhere else instead.

Nobody was there to help us check in.When we got there. we waited in the lobby for an hour for anybody to possibly, come help us check into our room. And nobody came so we had to go buy a room somewhere else for the night after we already spent money on this one when I called the next day. The manager had nothing to say about the situation.

My room , 328, was infested with cockroaches & I reported it the next morning. The front desk staff said that they will have the room sanitized. However, when we got back to the room that evening. There were still cockroaches. The hotel asked me to send an email to the website as noted in the folio & also told me to inform you & that you’ll call them regarding the situation.

PLEASANT & QUIET STAY

In my opinion, the location of my room was GREAT! It was quiet, I didn't have anyone above or next to my room which was ideal because there was no noise whatsoever! I love that the room has a full kitchen > Refrigerator, microwave, stove, plates, silverware. I could bring food to store for later. The AC unit works great. There were some minor things like one drawer couldn't open, sliding door to shower area doesn't close all the way. You would have to ask for shampoo, conditioner, soap if it's not in your room and they will gladly give some to you. But like I said, minor things which didn't bother me. I kiked the fact that they won't come and clean your room unless you ask for it. I didn't mind that at all! Hurray that you have Cable TV instead of just the basic channels there's a variety of stations to choose from as well. Best part for me was the quietness in a room tucked away from any noise. I would stay there again and when I do, I hope that room will be available for me to stay in once again!
