I stay here every time I come to Carlsbad for work. You can count on a simple yet clean and comfortable room with easy access to the beach about a five minute walk and amazing restaurants about a 10 minute walk. This property is unique because as a family owned and operated motel they take pride in their property and offer an outstanding overnight experience at an affordable price.

I visit Carlsbad maybe once a year, on a budget, and normally choose other hotels other than this one. But this time I decided to give them a shot and boy was I wrong. The hotel looks to be freshly renovated, but it’s not. The color palette they’ve chosen is a nicely orchestrated ruse. Once in the room, you realize that the furnishings and the overall attention to detail has gone out the window. Poorly patched holes in the walls. Stained floor tile. Poorly made beds. And just before check out, you have the staff knocking on your door asking for the key and the remote control to the TV. Like as if to help you rush out as quickly as possible. I found this incredibly rude. Especially when you have to yell through the door to tell them, you will bring the key and the remote control to the office before leaving. Is this hotel affordable? Yes. But word to the wise, don’t expect a three, four or even five star level of service

Parking here is super secure and there is always plenty of it. You don't really have to worry about a spot even if you arrive late. It's super quiet and peaceful. This place has some of the best rates you can find in a highly desirable area of north San Diego.

It’s a very cute quaint motel. Fairly priced except for the pet fee which in my opinion is ridiculous for $30 per night. Most motels it’s one set fee not per night.

The place needs a refresh, for sure. My first room was a bust. The cables on the tv were pulled out and it was not working. This room looked dirty at first glance. I could see stains everywhere. Didnt look like it was cleaned on the regular. I went to the front desk to tell them about the tv. I was told that someone would come take a look in about 15 mins or so. Instead, I asked to be moved which she agreeed to. She did ask me to get the remote from the first room and return it to the lobby with the room key. Not a big deal, but it was an inconvenience. The 2nd room was much bigger. Better set up at first glance. Really dirty. Room smelled like weed. Burn holes in the top cover on the bed. Stains as well. I didnt feel comfortable sleeping there. I ended up ripping the top sheet off and sleeping on top of the other sheets. These sheets also had burn holes. Walls were filthy, and so was the shower. There was some odd, orange stain on the shower floor. Didnt shower because of this. I found 2 books in a drawer, and a t-shirt in another. That tells me that they definitely are not cleaning up after each guest. If they cleaned thoroughly then this room would be acceptable to rent out. It wouldnt be a bad place. It has potential with the layout inside the room. Cant really say the same with the first room. I stayed here because of a discounted rate. I would have been pissed off if I paid their full rate, which needs to be reconsidered.
