Jonathan
Didn’t like the rooms being situated externally off the building. Noisy, could hear everything outside. Parking was fine and rooms seemed clean but very outdated.
Cindy
What a great experience. Super clean and safe.
Thomas
I paid online which was great
But I needed a deposit of $100 cash. This is not acceptable in my book of travelling. He would not take my credit card info manualy since I can't slide the card

It was good for a motel 6. I felt very safe (female solo traveler). The staff were nice and helpful.

The staff maintained our room clean and gave us clean towels daily they were also super friendly. It would have been great if the laundry room took credit cards like other places we have stayed at but overall we had a great stay.
Veronica
Very run down, old and dirty. There were critters one day but staff came in and but motel traps. I only booked it because it had a 9/10 rating on Expedia and I would give it 5/10. The staff was friendly and responsive but I spent 5 nights on a very uncomfortable mattress. It was just not as advertised.
Deborah
Pet friendly
Starla
Great value, no frills, helps save to spend on other activities in the area.
Dylan
Check in was very quick and easy. Staff was helpful and friendly. Stay here over the other Motel 6 in Carlsbad.
Robert
A bit dated, but clean and convenient location
Beth A
I was most pleasantly surprised at the size of the room, freshness, and cleanliness. The grounds were lovely. Be sure you use this hotel. Other Motel 6's in the area are not this nice.
William
Thank you for accommodating us on the first floor.
Juliette
The room appeared clean but it smelled slightly of urine in the room. The bed was okay, not too comfortable but not too bad. There is freeway noise, but the noisy air conditioner masked that lol.
jason
This was a clean, nice, and conveniently located hotel. The bed seemed better that most at Motel 6. The hotel in general was one of the better Motel 6 locations that I have stayed at. I would stay here again.
Jennifer
Will definitely be back. Nothing bad to say. Everything was amazing.
Maria
Room and property were very clean and staff were excellent.

Most everything was great. Nice staff, super quick check-in. Clean room.
Only probably was hideous smell of mold coming from A/C. It was bad enough that I would not stay here again

I love they accommodate our pet. Close to all our ocean views. We get the deluxe rooms and never a bad experience.
Karen
The staff was extra courteous and helpful and the room was spacious and clean.
Starla
Very clean, spacious, quiet, nice pillows but need new beds.
Chari
For being a motel 6, everything was good and clean, but the bedding and towels were thin and cheap.
Ephany
Great service. Kind and respectful staff.
Kathryn
This was our 3rd stay at this location, so we knew what to expect. For this type of property (we stayed 4 nights, so were looking for economy), it's very comfortable. Room was clean, and service was great. There is a pool, but we didn't have time to look at it or use it. Ample parking. No breakfast, and would have liked a coffee maker. All in all, very pleasant stay. But don't forget to bring shampoo lol.
LARISA
The refrigerator had no freezer.
Denise
Stay here many times. Always clean and comfortable. Great parking
Carrie
Great room for a great price ¨̮
Shaneka
The room is aesthetically pleasing. However, when you look closer. It isn’t tidy. The room smelled of urine. The manager was alerted of the urine issue and came to the room. He offered squirts from a bottle of Febreeze Air Freshner. It was 11:00 pm and we had to stay. Overall, it was doable if the urine smell wasn’t present. Very disappointed in his response.
John
We would stay there again.
Madrine
WIFI was terrible. my first room was very nice but had to be moved because of Wifi and wound up in an unpleasant room. Focused on work. :-)

Not clean
Katy
clean, nice and helpful staff
Abraham
We have been staying in 115 and its been the best Motel 6 we have ever stayed in. I never choose motel 6 just because most are iffy. This one was a smooth check in, maid service was amazing, room was big and it was quiet. Keep it up!!! We loved it!
Matthew
Not too shabby. Would stay again
Patrick
Nice, spacious room with lots of power outlets.
One suggestion: More work surfaces would be helpful. There's plenty of room in there for a bigger table, extra chair and extra luggage rack.

Always a great place to stay overnight on our travels.
Sandra
Everything looks clean and easy to check in and super friendly 😊
Seong
Right next to the freeway. Very noisy
NO paper tissue box in the room.
NO shampoo; just a little ungripable bar soap
NO luggage rack. I had to use the ironing board for my bag.
WEAK water pressure
NO do not disturb tag
NO bedside lamps
NO bedside clock
Extremely HARSH bright white lights / not dimmable. Harsh harsh harsh.
NO night lights
Only ONE bedside table.
The bed was terrible; very unsupportable.
Ownership claims that Motel 6 strictly forbids owners to provide shampoo and tissue boxes.
I would never recommend Motel 6 to anyone; since it appears all these issues are apparently company policy.
Bottom line, Motel 6 appears to think it’s ok to treat their guests very shabbily indeed since they most likely are too poor to expect personal respect and consideration.

They only provide towels & hand soap- they used to provide more amenities. But I still choose to stay here because everything else is good- I just know that I need to bring my own amenities.
Rhea
Easy parking and no issues with security. The room I got is a double queen suite. One bed in a separate room and the other bed is right next to the door and when you open the blinds/curtain, its right next to the laundry room or some type of storage. Not a very pleasant view, you have to keep the curtains closed. I picked this location since theyre pet friendly (no pet fees). But other than that, the room is pretty clean. You can smell the bleach when they clean the room.
Zariah
I really enjoyed my stay at Motel 6 Carlsbad North. The rooms were very clean. The cleaning staff is very thorough when cleaning the rooms. Although this property allows pets, the rooms were so clean you would not have known a pet was ever there. The property is safe, quiet, and well-kept. I would definitely suggest this property to family and friends visiting the Carlsbad area.
Zariah
Wonderful property, and the staff were amazing. This Motel 6 in Carlsbad, near Old Town Carlsbad, is quiet and safe. It is also within walking distance of dining and the beach.
Zariah
Wonderful location and staff. Motel 6 Carlsbad North is the best in Carlsbad. The rooms are very clean. The front office staff is kind. The area is very safe.
Zariah
Again, this was the best Motel 6 in Carlsbad. The rooms are clean, and the staff were very nice. The location was amazing because you could take a short walk to the beach and/or Old Carlsbad for dining and nightlife.
Zariah
The rooms were very clean and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would recommend Motel 6 Carlsbad North to family and friends when staying in the Carlsbad area. Thank you to the friendly owners/office staff for being so helpful and kind to my son and me during our stay.
Santoshini
Clean, quiet, ample parking and nice staff.
Rebecca
Room had roaches gross parking was great staff was very rude
Catherine
The room was clean and spacious, if sparsely furnished. The air conditioner worked well and was not overly loud. There are windows that open, but they face a public corridor, so not for overnight use. Parking was fairly convenient, even for a second story room. No elevator was not a plus. The motel is conveniently located near an excellent family restaurant , a Starbucks and a Vons grocery store. Not walkable to \"Old Carlsbad\", but a quick drive. Bring your own toiletries, as only soap if provided.
Jean
perfect for spring break with the kids. Nothing fancy, nice and clean with a lots of space in the room.
Kim
Staff and cleanliness were excellent.
Jennifer
Clean & comfortable room, friendly staff, easy parking. It seems Motel-6 no longer provides much in the way of amenities so I always have to be sure to bring my own (including a coffee maker).
Christopher
Clean spacious room with parking just outside, the staff was wonderful and understanding in accommodating our requests.
Michele
Enjoyed our stay very much. Very convenient location to hwy 5. Tammarrak Beach, Carlsbad Village, and Oceanside, are just a couple of streets down. Room and motel grounds were very clean. No breakfast was served, or coffee makers in the room, but coffee was free in the lobby. I purchased groceries and saved a lot on food costs overall. Walmart is within 7 minutes and our room had a large refigerator and small microwave. Bring toiletries, our room only had bar soap and hairdryer. Overall great experience. Plan to return to this motel for nice and affordable stay.
Miguel
Clean room!
Stephanie
The price is right! The only noise was the traffic which is white noise. It was clean. I come to Carlsbad often so will probably stay here every time
Jennifer
Motel 6 Carlsbad, CA - North, room was spacious and very clean, staff was welcoming, helpful and friendly. This Motel 6 is situated in a perfect area if you have a dog or kids, there is a park nearby within a 3 minute walk with large grassy area and play area. In addition there is another park closer to the beach Carlsbad has tons of great restaurants and coffee shop.
Chulisa
Our room smelt like a litter box it was terrible.
amira
This Motel 6 has no amenities - not even Kleenex or shampoo. I selected it because my understanding of the description was that it was walkable to Old Town Carlsbad. It is not at all walkable to Old Town Carlsbad.
Jussi
The check in was fastest ever, less than 30sec. There’s a lot of noise coming from the highway but it’s actually so consistent throughout the night that it didn’t bother our sleep. The place is a bit dated but good value for money at least for one night stay.
Marla
Toilet handle didn't work correctly
Christina
This was a Motel 6 so it’s just a basic room, nothing fancy and no extras but it had been redone recently so it felt new and clean
Connie
Very peaceful and quiet
Brent
The room and staff weren’t acceptable
Edward
Best motel 6 ever.
Hugh
clean room, nice workers but too much freeway noise
Sheryll
Great staff. Room was very clean everyday. Second time to this location and it always look like new.
Ron
The room could have been a little cleaner, but I notice things like that because I clean for a living. The neighbors had a yappy dog we could have done without. The one man on staff was very friendly and helpful.
Sandra
The room was very clean the towels were nice it has a big closet in the Suite room. I liked that they have a big refrigerator an a the staff was excellent very friendlymicrowave

Joshua
Nice clean room - well kept and comfy bed. Not bad at all for a Motel 6 - I’d stay again!!!
Denise
The quality of receiving Cordial Customer service
Denise
Housekeeping /Cleaning ladies are hostile.
Jesse
We often stay in Oceanside, and i booked the stay at the hotel oceanside, in which we left quickly after the first night. Wildly bad night, loud, kids running in halls, laundry going all night, extremely loud traffic, terrible beds and pillows! Now at THIS Motel 6, it was such a great stay, staff are great, front desk lady was too nice. Rooms were spotless with great bedding and pillows!! They even brought me a room fan to help me sleep!! This place is different because they care and they show it! My new place to bring my family to hang out in san diego county. Close to everything!!! Thank you so much Motel 6, carlsbad north!!
Lanny
Flawless on what offered during our stay. Clean rooms, friendly staf, no disruption
Kathryn
Courteous staff, room temperature great!
TIMOTHY

Kristin
For a low budget hotel, this place was perfect. The room was clean. The staff was kind. The bed and pillow were comfortable. It didn’t have any amenities, but Motel 6 has always been about the bare bones to save on costs. The road noise is horrible, but I wore earplugs, so I slept well. The location is fantastic as it’s a super close drive to Carlsbad Village and the beach.
Brent
Great staff! Great rooms! Great location!
Jennifer

Jane
Staff was kind and informative. Good amenities, clean rooms for the most part but the floor was not the cleanest. A good spot for quick access to Carlsbad and the I-5.
Brent
Great staff! Great amenities inc. spacious rooms at my favorite motel. Motel 6 North. Unlike any other Motel 6. Stay here and this Motel 6 most likely will become your new favorite, too!
Ashley
The staff is really nice and the location seemed safe.
Debbie
The location was very bad with only a chain link fence between the motel and a very busy freeway. Very loud. But the old heater/cooler in the room was so noisy it helped block it out! 😂 The room was clean but the covers were very thin on the bed, there was no clock, the frig kept making noises but would stop if I opened its door and slam it closed. And the three vending machines and ice machines were outside my room. A lot of noise there. The faucets in the shower leaked very bad also. It was cheap tho!
Victoria
Do not let your pet go here. Anaphylactic shock from pesticides. In the room and on the grass outside. Huge vet bills and near death.
Teresa
Easy check in. The room was just as described. Very clean, and had everything that I needed. The shower head is high up on the wall so if you are tall you don't have to duck to get clean. I had an early am check out so all I had to do was leave the keys in the room.
