Very dirty rooms smelled bad like body odor. This hotel is in bad condition. I did not feel comfortable at all. Gnats flying around. Homeless people entered through the stairwell and were knocking on doors. Staff not friendly. Do not waste your money.

I loved the room size and the layout of the room ( a good use of space). We had a uncovienance of no hot water for several days. I asked for a consideration if at least a day of computation. I did get a discount for the next two days of a 10 0/0 more than my original discount through Expedia; although, I could have maintained the same discount if I had booked several days in advance. I'm also sad that after staying several days that the only thing I think about every few days is that the front desk may be upset that I'm not there right at 11:00. I have always booked online. The can see that my intention are to stay on with my stay. Otherwise with the exception of the attitude I get then I bring my room rent. It would have been nice to know when they had a problem with hot water; it was expected to last for 2 to 3 days. I rented a room at a motel 6 near by to shower and get ready for a very important appointment. It would awesome to get that back at the very least. If the water thing did not happen then I would say it is affordable for a long stay, like I said before the rooms are spacious and the grounds are kept up. It could use a bit of a face lift and a deep cleaning in the hall ways. Most of all I would love to see smiling faces on the other side of the counter when I pay my room rent.

Hotless in Carlsbad
No hot water foe three days over New Years holiday. Management said boiler is broken and no one can come to look at it until jan 2. Offered a refund and to check us out. Many people like us had to stay. Not an option for us at thiis late stage of the holiday. Lots of dog owners that do not pick up dog feces so have to watch where you walk. Sheets and bedspreads stained. Hallways carppets not clean. Trashcans in hallways and outside overfilled. Smokers everywhere that leave their butts at entrance of hotel. Not a pleasant stay. Management knows about all of this and does not serm to care.
