The rooms were clean and smelled good the place was absolutely spotless. The continental breakfast was fantastic. Next time I go to Carlsbad I’ll definitely be staying there again.
This was a good place to stay. It's an older hotel but well maintained. Beds were comfy and room was larger than a usual hotel room. We liked the hot breakfast bar (included) at their restaurant
The staff is super helpful, rooms are spacious, facility is huge so we walked around with no issues for outdoor exercise, laundry room, exercise room, restaurant ( we did not eat there other than breakfast buffet, which is fine) I noticed loads of people do come there for dining & the bar. I do recommend this hotel, great location & value.
We had a king suite, and there was a ton of space. The room was clean. The hotel is located right on a busy street, which makes it a good location, but it can be hard to get out of the property at times. The breakfast was average, but they did offer a fresh fruit cup that was very tasty. I would stay here again.
Our room was clean and quiet. Staff was helpful and gave clear answers to questions. Sadly, I didn't get the name of the woman working in the dining room for breakfast, but she was kind and attentive.
Really nice and clean the pool is beautiful and in a very good spot to relax and get ready for the day to come really helpful staff and a really nice Suite
Breakfast was great, staff was very helpful, and it was a good price. It’s very clean, and has a homey, motel vibe. It’s a good place to go if you just need somewhere to sleep and shower.
Much more than we expected for the rate. Love the historic nature of the place and the fact that it was renovated and preserved. Very clean, accommodating. Nice pool experience. Loved the roominess and the vaulted ceiling in the room - not experienced that before in a regular motel or hotel. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Having lived in Carlsbad for 50 years, and returning for a quick visit, it was disappointing to see the outside maintenance has gone down so far. The Stevens was always immaculate and a desirable place to stay and dine.
Great stay! Our room smelled a little weird when we walked in, but that’s my only complaint. The room was large, clean, and comfortable. Great breakfast!

Clean comfortable rooms that were quite large. It was nice having the sink separate from the bathroom area. The cooked warm breakfast buffet is Rarity. The ice makers are kind of out of date and need to be updated and stocked. Overall a good hotel but it needs a update needs to have a remodel done .
We enjoyed our stay here! It is very well kept with wonderful, helpful staff. It is in a great location. The rooms are spacious with a seating area as well as a mini fridge and microwave.
Super friendly staff, great rooms, very clean and well maintained property. Very nice pool and laundry facilities. The buffet breakfast is a do not miss!! Biscuits gravy, real scrambled eggs, the whole thing
Staff is always welcoming and helpful. They provide excellent breakfast but on my last visit they had water issues and they provide sack lunches.
This is my favorite place to stay due to the great customer service.
Staff was friendly. Gentleman at front desk let me know what the hotel offered, (pool, restaurant, bar, it's surroundings) which was very helpful.Room was great! Great location...
Rooms were spacious and clean with lots of lighting options and good AC. Bed was comfortable and big. Bathroom had double sinks and a large mirror. The restaurant on site was excellent, our dinner and dessert were great and good size portion. Well worth the money. All the staff was very helpful and friendly.
the room was clean and stocked. The staff was helpful and accommodating. Parking was very convenient because it's right in front of your room. The hot breakfast was delicious. Thank you!
Room was clean. However the AC could not keep the room cooler than 75 degrees (which is better than 100 degrees but still not where is like it to sleep to) breakfast was so so, but it is food and it's hot. Overall good experience
