Clean and comfy in San Ma

This hotel is super clean and convenient if you need a night's stay around San Marcos or Carlsbad. The check in and customer service were great. It's a really good value if you need a place to stay for the night.

This hotel SHOULD NOT be in the Wyndham Family of hotels. It has to be the absolute WORST Days Inn in the entire chain of hotels. How do you claim you have a breakfast, when literally it's a single waffle maker, a toaster and some pre-packaged pastries? You have toast, but no butter for it. You have a kraft of milk, but no cereal. And the pancake batter tasted like your workers perfume that she wore that morning. Just NASTY !! Now about the room...... The floors had not been swept or mopped in who knows how long. The beds need to be completely replaced. There was not a flat area on either bed. And the bathroom was so tiny, that only one person could be in it or you couldn't close the door. No fan in the bathroom either, which is just ridiculous. The carpet down the hallway looked like it was the original from when the hotel was built in the 70's. Dirty, smelly and just disgusting. Don't believe the pictures of this hotel, because they were taken decades ago. Don't bother even thinking about this property. RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN !!

The property is old and right next to a busy freeway. The front door did not securely close...gaps all around and we could not turn on the faucet in the bathroom to the shower. The staff was great and the room was generally clean, but really showing wear and tear.

My room had a water issue. Managet was proactive and called before we got there and gave us an alternative arrangement. I liked the room decor. Nice and bright. My one big negative was the electronic locks. Didn't engage/disengage at first swipe. He to play with it a little. Just a slight annoyance door did lock. Just had to work a little to get it open.
