SCOTT
The TV was a real pain to get working and the wi fi was spotty
Carlos
The room was dirty, bed sheets and pillows stained. The bathroom had not been cleaned from the previous people staying there, the sink area was covered in hair, facial hair, toothpaste, etc. The AC unit was quite loud. Breakfast was very poor.
michael
It's one of the few motels in downtown Carlsbad and very convenient to where I was working. However, the carpet is room was very stained and the air conditioner made a great deal of noise all night. The breakfast selections were very limited.
Marsha
Staff is helpful
Myles
Nice time and we had a good stay.
David
Spacious parking lot, clean lobby. Room was spacious with a HUGE comfortable bed. Plenty of water pressure. The coffee maker was missing the tray and was therefore unusable. When I left, the door wouldn’t latch. You could just push it open. I notified the receptionist and manager. Room 116.
Cindi
There on business
Jeremy
A perfectly acceptable room in a town that caters to Carlsbad Caverns tourists and oilfield workers.
Air con/heater was obnoxiously loud and first room offered clearly hadn't been cleaned. Otherwise fairly quiet and quite clean. \"Breakfast\" is meh.

I had two night booked and left after the first night. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting. Filthy floor, hair, what looked like pubic hair, and something on the walls. I was traveling with my young daughter and couldn’t even have her shower. It was so bad I ended up booking a room at Comfort Suites the next night and just took the loss on the money. Additionally, there were a bunch of ppl just hanging out around the parking lot which really didn’t make me feel like my vehicle was safe so I really didn’t even sleep much. Save yourself the trouble and book somewhere else.
Victor
What a dump. Don’t do it. My room(206) was disgusting. Stains everywhere. What appears to be blood on one wall. Filthy shower complete with previous guest’s hair everywhere. Also, his food is still in the mini fridge.
PAMELA
Two staff members were great. the young lady that checked me in (I didn't get her name) and the night clerk, Jeremy. There was not any soap, coffee, or tea in the room. Nor were there any cups. the TV didn't work at all and the wi-fi was very spotty. The middle aged gentleman who checked me out said we would be getting a discount for our inconvenience however our card was charged the full amount. This is the first time I've had a problem while staying here. In the past, I have had excellent service.
Pamela
Clean room, walking distance to restaurants
Jeanne H.
Heat/air was very noisy. City street noise was loud. Accomodations were roomy, and modern.
Gabriela
Carpets need cleaning
Walls and doors need maintenance

There was a problem finding a room where the key would open the door. It took 3 tries. The heater was so noisy i had to turn it off to fall asleep
Austin
We booked here last minute. Based on the online photos we thought it was maybe an up and coming little boutique motel. Everything seemed nice and good at check in, then we got into our room… there was feces and blood on the bathroom wall. There was stuff on the shower floor. The toilet, shower door and sink had not been cleaned. There were stains all over the carpet and walls. The sheets were stained and had long black hairs everywhere. This was one of the worst experiences we’ve had and will never be coming back.
Lori
The room was not cleaned. Floors were not vacuumed or swept, windowsill had a lot of red dirt, mirror was spotty, there was food take-out containers in the cabinet, and it didn’t look like the toilet had been clean. The sheets and towels appeared fresh, and the garbages were emptied.
Christine
This place was really cute on the outside and had super potential. Our actual room was so gross, from the toilet and shower to the fridge and countertops. I was so thankful that we were there to basically sleep only.
Leslie
Don’t stay here. Dirty bedspread and bathroom floor. We found another place to stay. Not a great part of town either, if there is one
Christian
Nice
Desiree
Got blammed for a restroom floor that was falling apart wen we got there
Arturo
We did not stay as the room has not been cleaned in some time. Food stains, dirty carpet, bed has been used and sheets were terribly stained. We were very disappointed.
Qichen
bed sheet very dirty
Laura
Room not real clean
Mark
Room was clean and tidy. Staff was ok. Location is great for us. My only complaint is there was no soap in the bathroom. At this price you would expect to have something.
Sonya
The room was not very clean, carpet was dirty and needed to be vacuumed, the restroom floor was dirty needed to be swept, the windowsill in the bathroom was covered in dirt, the coffee maker in the room was covered in dust as was the microwave. The bed did not have a top sheet only a thin blanket but the bed itself was comfortable and had lots of pillows. Oh and the tv only had a few local channels and parking is tight
Betty Jean
Where to begin...the room looked tidy and since we hadnt slept in 36hours due to air delays we grabbed dinner at a great Mexican spot and then couldn't get back in our room. Key card worked, door handle didnt. The clerk said we just needed to jiggle it...alot. but we did get in after 2 minutes of jiggling and prepared to get ready for bed even tho it was only 8. Oh no. There is no soap or shampoo. Back across the parking lot for 2 bars of soap 1/8\" thick with a diameter of 1 1/2\". Jumped in the spacious walkin shower and no where to put soap or shampoo except on the floor of the shower. Not easy when you are both in your seventies. Great bed/very comfortable but the next morning we have a small coffeemaker and coffee but no basket to hold the coffee (it wasnt the type that have the coffee and basket in the pouch) or cups. Get dressed and back across the parking lot to be told they have coffee in the lobby. But I had to get dressed to get it. But i did grab a cup for water to take my meds with. There was free breakfast but the bite size bagels were too small for the toaster and you had to eat your cereal with a fork. All in all a miserable experience although every time i had a problem they said they would make a note of it...including my suggestion that tissues would be nice instead of blowing your nose on toilet paper. I didnt miss that they was no fitness equipment because i got plenty of exercise jiggling the door handle and walking to ge office.
Edward
Breakfast opened at 5am which is perfect for those birding or traveling early
Jenny
Cleanliness was the number one issue The shower and toilet room have poor clean but the vanity area had not been cleaned at all. Also had a very dirty mirror and the fronts and sides of the cabinets all needed to be wiped down. Careless dusting of the room. The air conditioning unit was very noisy and had to be shut off in order to sleep.
Jonathan
Room nice , no working ice machine, homeless everywhere .
Ernest
Excellent room, friendly helpful folks.The bathroom was fantastic !!! An absolute best value 1 Anyone going to Carlsbad for any reason should stay here. We hopefully will be back !
Mark
Rooms are always spotless, quiet location with food choices nearby.
Mark
Room was great, staff was a bit odd deciding what room I was going to get. Location is excellent for us and the projects we have close by.
Daniel
Nice big rooms quiet swell
Angela
Very large room, friendly staff, overall room was clean except the top of ice bucket ,microwave and refrigerator had a layer of dust on them. Close to wall to restaurants. Good value
hugo
Heating wasn’t working. A little tiny soap. No shampoo. 😩😩😩😩😩
Lee
I don’t think they cleaned the bathroom between the previous guest and our stay. We had to ask for toilet paper because there wasn’t any in the room, there was hair in the shower, and there was sticky spots of urine around the toilet.
The heater was also quite loud, though it didn’t keep us up, thankfully.
Staff was nice, the bed was comfortable, and the breakfast was decent. It’s a decent place for the price.

John
So close to being a nice hotel. They really need to work on cleanliness. Also the rooms have harsh, overhead lights with only 1 lamp. Hthat lamp has a bright white bulb. Breakast is pretty pedestrian.
Richard
Room was clean. Check in was great.
Bob
Had to be let into my room due to a dead battery on the door lock. TV box was bad, took almost an hour to get that figured out. they just need to bite the bullet and get some kind of better TV provider! The coffee was ice cold for breakfast, the waffle mix was like water and poured out of the waffle iron when it was turned! They need to stop nickel and diming!!! Other than that, they were nice at the front desk and the walk in shower was very nice
Nicholas T.
Room was unfortunately not clean. Refrigerator was not cleaned and smelled so bad we couldn’t even open it without the entire room smelling.
Staff were really sweet.
Breakfast was not stocked, most items you couldn’t even use (no waffle mix, no bowls for cereal).
There are tons of reviews saying they were going to take the same feedback and make changes- this is not the case.

Clean, good overall value, great location within walking distance of restaurants.
Whitney
Front desk was friendly. Couple of stained pillow cases and the A/C was a bit loud but otherwise it was fine.
koras
Helpful Staff. Quick Service.
Nathan
There was no WiFi/internet, which we were counting on to watch F1 and handle photo/video uploads. Our first room had a broken TV, so we were moved to another. Its was that TV where we learned that there are almost no channels. New room had a window unit that was so loud it actually sounded like there was a large truck out front. When I went to check out, they had locked themselves out of the office.
True story. Sounds worse than it is. They were super friendly, everything was clean, beds were good overall, the whole place looked pretty nice. We were able to have some money with the generously sized mini fridge and the microwave. I will probably go back. It seems like a great place and they’re just snatching defeat out of the jaws of success.

Yash
Staff was excellent and made adjustments as per our request.
Patrick
Not what I was expecting based on the photos and ratings on the website. Felt like a low budget motel stay.
Amber
Room dirty…hair everywhere bathroom and bedroom. AC didn’t work very well. Both ice machines broken. Towels old.
Frances
Entry keys hardly worked, had to change rooms, happened with that room too. Tv had one channel, girl at front desk was no help with how the remote works. The wash rags had stains, the bathroom walls were not clean. No extra toilet paper in room when only 1/4 roll was left. AC sounded like a jet engine all night long.
Melissa
No hair dryer. Cream cheese spoiled for cream cheese. Shower had no shelves to put shampoo and stuff on. No TV because they were changing services. Never stay there again!
Mark
Great rooms and location. TV remote did not work but I was there to sleep. Desk lamp near beds did not work either so had to charge phones in the bathroom.
Raeda
The room was recently upgraded and of good quality.
When we checked in we were first given a room that other people were using. Our second room’s door wouldn’t open. Our third room worked out well, but a bit unnerving to work through multiple rooms.
Breakfast was poorly stocked both mornings. We ate earlier in the breakfast time, so not sure what the issue was there.
No room service between nights.

Raymond
Nice staff, Very comfortable beds, clean room, only bad is there is not enough parking spots.But overall a nice place to stay!
Stephen D
Clean, quiet, and safe place. The only thing I didn't like was that my room was across the stairs, and someone sat down there smoking a cigarette, and the smell entered the room. It was very unpleasant, and the air conditioning was very noisy. Room 116.
Betisha
Uncomfortable beds, lots of drug addicts walking through, dirty breakfast bar.
Betisha
No laundry room on site. They serve waffles, but their milk container had no lid.
Betisha
Booked for over a week. Toilets and sink were not cleaned during entire stay. Bed sheets were not changed until it was brought to the attention to the front desk and the room was not vacuumed. If you want the housekeeping to know what to clean, you have to leave them a note on exactly what you want, which I thought was odd because other motels they cleaned the toilet and sink area daily without being told. I never left any notes so if you want your room cleaned, write out your notes.
Marci
Polite staff. Ice machines didn't work but they allowed us to get ice from the lobby/bar area so that was nice of them. Was a decent stay.
Cimaron
Staff is very helpful, convenient location, nice rooms!
Betisha
Room was not available at check in. Had to clean myself upon check in because grease stain was on tv console. Hair was on sink and tub. I have my own cleaning products. Other than that, room is nicely put together. Plenty of storage space and updated furniture.
WAYNE
Room was clean and the bed was comfortable

Favorite place to stay in Carlsbad. BIG rooms. Great mattresses and pillows. Cute.
Michael
Updated somewhat recently, door lock didn’t work, slight odor to room. Decent for the price.
Joseph
Got upon the morning still had about to check out and room service rushed in and said we need to strip the room barged in there with my family in there was a bad experience never in my 51 years of staying in motels has this happened manger did say sorry and went to talk to staff bad experience
Valisha
Always polite and courteous
Brent
Terrible neighborhood with many homeless.
Bed sheets were not smoothed out when put on. The breakfast was a bust. Toaster not working, microwave not working, no sweetener, no jelly, just not maintained. Two pots of coffee and one was cold in spite of being on a warming plate. Room was clean and comfortable. Great outside lighting.

Quite, not too many rooms. Friendly staff and nice to stay at a place that doesn’t have hundreds of guests. Updates and clean.
Jason
Close by where I needed to go. Cheapest available.
Virginia
This is a good hotel. They've renovated it recently and it's located in a part of town with much walkability. I've ranked it a little lower than I might because 1) the mattress was too soft for me (but that's just me) and 2) for some reason, the sheets made me feel itchy. No bugs, mind you! Perhaps the detergent they used, although I'm usually not sensitive.
Teodoro
I like the convenience, the property was centrally located
Vic
Tweakerville
The carpets we’re disgusting, the first room we was checked into was dirty with hair on the floor and trash in the cans, the place has some very shady looking people going from room to room and car to car at all hours of the night and strong odors of weed smoke
Rhiannon
Do not stay here. I have stayed a few times through out the summer for work. My last 2 stays I have been double charged. Resolution does not come promptly. Both times I have paid on Hotels.com before my stay then once again charged for the same stay on my debit card, once during my stay and another the day after I have already checked out. I have receipts of payments made prior to my stay and I am continued to be double charged. This is such a disappointment and frustrating situation this hotel continues to put me in. Save yourself the frustration and DO NOT STAY HERE.
emily
Quite surprised, wasn’t expecting it to be so nice because it was reasonably priced
Jaziel
Everything was clean and tidy. Didn't hear any noise from adjacent rooms and had a good stay.
Michael
Mediocre at best
blaine
Great stay!!! Highly recommend
Timothy
It's good for the price. When we arrived they gave us a room that was used but they quickly rectified it with a clean one.
Dmitry
Nice, clean. Next to the small park and museum
Vicki
The TV needs to better set.
Eddy
Average at best, staff not experienced.
Check-in was a very confusing. The hotel had me checked in the previous day of my reservation, and someone was already in my room. However, I was accommodated with a room. Extending my stay was attempted by a staff member who obviously had no business behind the desk. Couldn’t answer any questions and only response was “That’s just how they do it.” Who is they? You’re at the desk! It was extremely inadequate. However, the room was good. Spacious somewhat clean. Cleaning staff wasn’t very thorough and inconsistent. I’d say overall 5/10.
Hannah
Breakfast wasn’t great and no pool. Shouldnt be $120 a night, more like $80.
Samuel
Comfortable and good vibes
Kandi
Clean and comfortable. Except when I sat on the desk chair and the bolts came through the fabric….that should probably be changed out!
Joel

Great value for quality of location and comfort
Cullen
Good bones but very disappointing
Place looked good, updated motel however there was a smoke alarm bagged up and taped and never got an answer if I should remove it or not; I don’t know seemed kind of hazardous to me. Hdmi/tv didn’t work nor did the coffee maker, WiFi was so slow it was unusable and the fridge was set so warm to save money yet spoiled all of our food. Sheets were dirty when we arrived and housekeeping never stopped by to tidy up. or clean the sheets.
