Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and nicely updated, although an older property. Elevator was a plus. A fire pit was located where it would have nice to have a hot tub but the pool looked nice. Under room parking was convenient since in a busy area. Unfortunately was not aware of the parking fee before check in. Breakfast was par for this type of hotel. Wonderful location right across from beach access and walking distance to the village and many restaurants. Overall, nice facility. Would recommend for a mid range hotel.

Perfect location.

Perfectly located at the beach and near great restaurant and shopping options. The facility is somewhat outdated but clean and well-kept with friendly staff and better than average breakfast. Note that there is an elevator but also unavoidable steps, regardless of level. Great price!

Ordinary but spacious

A very ordinary-looking motel located across from the very busy Carlsbad beach. The room was very large--a suite, really--but plain of decoration and with cranky, difficult-to-control air conditioning. If you are looking for beach access, it's fine, but Carlsbad Blvd has lots of traffic. Fortunately, the hotel has free parking
