The rooms are actually beautiful! Bathrooms are new and the pricing is exceptional for the area! It is within walking distance of restaurants and shopping! The WiFi worked in the office but never worked in my room. It wasn’t a problem as I didn’t need it! There is a train that comes quite close; however, the noise is only temporary. It didn’t bother me. The staff were very nice as well!

Nice staff, but this place really needs to step up their game when it comes to cleanliness. The bathroom was not clean, the toilet was dirty even though it had the “sanitized” band around it, mirror had prints all over, sink was dirty. We had ants in the bathroom. Sheets had holes in them.

Rude, especially the bedding, sheets, and blanket, or not queen there were still things from the person before the belongings left in the sheets and blankets. Staff which is also owner manager rude would not admit to being a manager so I called from the parking lot looking at him and ask for the manager and he says hello I am the manager. Stay away at all costs in fact, purposely drive by it just so you can leave it. It’ll be your best move.

I've stayed at my share of budget Motels before and would rate this below a Motel 6. There was no one at the front desk for check in at 7PM on a Thursday night and had to wait about 15 minutes. Room itself was clean and had a refrigerator, microwave and air-conditioner. Room itself was stuffy and the air conditioner was louder than a Motel 6 AC. The bed was on a weird frame that would make a loud banging sound when getting on/off or moving too much which kept waking my 4 year old up when she was able to sleep with the loud AC. Refrigerator was also noisy. Lets not forget the train tracks are close by and we had a train go by in the middle of the night waking us up yet again. Let's not forget they give the TV remotes at check in and mine didn't work. We did not sleep much the 2 nights we were there and were completely exhausted on our Legoland Adventure. Location is nice but that's all I can say I enjoyed.

Very poor motel.
Hotel.com rated this motel 7+ stars. This rating was completely wrong. The motel was truly an awful experience. I previously trusted Hotel.com’s rating but now I’m thinking differently. Might start using other hotel booking pages due to the lack of trust I have in that website. Sorry but just being honest.

Older property, convenient to town, but the closest public access "beach" is rocks, not sand. Actual sandy beach is farther, near downtown area. Rooms have been somewhat renovated, but VERY poorly kept: there was hair left in the shower, and my feet were filthy on bottom after walking around the room barefoot (it's a beach town; right?) Spend a few more bucks and get closer-in to town and the beach!

I think I got what I paid for. The Bathroom sink was clogged and the shower had a horrible sewer smell when you used the shower.

You.cant beat the value for your money. Staff is awesome. Rooms are clean. Not fancy. No pool, free coffee, etc , but its incredibly inexpensive for the area. Beach and cute shops are fairly close. Fyi train is behind the motel, but it has never woken me up. I stay 3-4 times a year.

Backs up to train tracks. Loud. Walls are thin? You can hear kids and adults talking loudly. Bed uncomfortable. It’s good of you are just looking for cheap and have earplugs, or turn white noise on to muffle what’s around you. Positives: Close to everything, we walked for dinner, entertainment, dessert! Definitely not going to stay here again .

Everything was great. Nancy was super helpful. If I could give constructive criticism, would be about the room we stayed in. A little money could be invested because the room was really run down. And also not the cleanest.

This motel was conveniently located just blocks away from the Carlsbad beachfront area and village, which made for a nice morning walk with coffee. The property is a bit run down but the room was fine except the floor was not cleaned (as evidenced by a dark residue picked up by walking with bare feet).
