I made a last minute booking and I should have known better. This place overall looks promising when you see pictures, but the reality of the property is sad. We checked in, 4 people, after a long day at Legoland. Looking forward to taking showers but there was only 3 towels and 1 wash clothe. we called and requested more and we were told that they had just ran a load of towels and were waiting for them to dry. WHAT?!?! A hotel without towels?!? So we waited a bit and got nothing so we gave up and fell asleep, but not before we noticed bugs IN the fridge! Crawling around the kitchen and bathroom were roaches. There was also mildew or mold on the walls in the bathroom and tiles in the shower. I realize now that this was an extended stay hotel and most guests are probably used to these conditions. Sadly my kids were totally grossed out. I felt bad but didn’t have very many other options so we just dealt with it but boy did I learn a lesson…always take the time to look at reviews and do my homework on hotels.

I call three days prior to my reservation asked if they had a Tesla or EV charging station onsite & the front desk rep made it clear they had one. Once I arrived there was no station, needed to google for one which is 10mins away. If I was directed or told differently I wouldn’t have booked here. Once I got to the Tesla charging station there was a hotel right in front walking distance looked cleaner. I reserved a non smoking room once I got into the hotel it recked of cigarette I have two children which are asthmatic and this ruined our stay all other rooms where booked so we had no choice but to stay. I called the other hotel since we are not obligated to have stayed there. But they were completely booked, I also requested towels and new bedding Friday night and they didn’t get there until we were ending our stay on Saturday. The couch was dirty and smelly the bed felt wet.

When I first arrived I was thrilled! The hotel had a beautiful interior and an older vibe to it. When I was given my room I was on the second floor and all the way to the end of the hall. That was a bit frustrating because I had a young child with me and so naturally I had a stroller. There was not an elevator on my end of the hall, Only had stairs
Full kitchen was a plus
Bed was worn and dented gave me a bad kink in my neck and hurt my back.
The first night I stayed there was an alive cockroach in the room. There were spider webs in the room as well as spiders in them there were splashes of something all over the walls. The bathtub had calcifications all over the drain and there was rust or something stuck inside the paint that had chipped away inside the bath tub. This was very frustrating because I bathe my child. There was also a very precariously positioned vent in the shower that made me quite uncomfortable.
I was too tired my first night there to bother with anything in the kitchen but my second night I decided to cook. There was no dish soap to wash the dishes no was it sponge. When I looked for all the provisions to cook with and plate up I found there was no silverware a dirty pan and the dishwasher had dirty dishes. The second night I found a much smaller cockroach after cooking running around on the kitchen counter. The entire time I was there the AC did not work which forced me to open a window that had no screen and allow the possibility of mosquitos. hav pics

I literally had to keep the lights on so that the roaches would stay back! OMG - I had to put my clothes bag in the fridge so roaches wouldnt get into my stuff! I had checked in late, then had to leave for an event and came back late and found all this above. Uggh! I will NEVER come back and I WANT A REFUND! SO DISAPPOINTED!!

Incredibly dirty room, I did not stay there

I was in the room all of five minutes before deciding I wasn’t going to stay there. The sheets were dirty, it looked like no one had clean the place in a while, and the entire room was pretty gross.

When I went down to the front desk, they told me they would be unable to process my refund until a manager was on duty, which was not going to be until the next day. I’m still waiting to hear back on my refund, but I’m so glad I stayed somewhere else instead.

PLEASANT & QUIET STAY

In my opinion, the location of my room was GREAT! It was quiet, I didn't have anyone above or next to my room which was ideal because there was no noise whatsoever! I love that the room has a full kitchen > Refrigerator, microwave, stove, plates, silverware. I could bring food to store for later. The AC unit works great. There were some minor things like one drawer couldn't open, sliding door to shower area doesn't close all the way. You would have to ask for shampoo, conditioner, soap if it's not in your room and they will gladly give some to you. But like I said, minor things which didn't bother me. I kiked the fact that they won't come and clean your room unless you ask for it. I didn't mind that at all! Hurray that you have Cable TV instead of just the basic channels there's a variety of stations to choose from as well. Best part for me was the quietness in a room tucked away from any noise. I would stay there again and when I do, I hope that room will be available for me to stay in once again!

Definitely not what I thought it would be. Had to be moved from my original room because a bedroom door was missing and the room door didn’t even lock. Didn’t feel safe on the first floor. Whole place smelt like wet dog. Second room air conditioner didn’t work but didn’t want to bother being moved again. The window had a torn screen so I couldn’t even leave the window open. Had to go to Walmart and buy my own fan.

Pulling into the parking lot there were cars taking up two spots so looking for parking was horrible. Check in went smoothly no problems there but when we got to the room it was hot and smelled like smoke. The air conditioner didnt really work and the tv didnt work. First night was a long night. We decided to leave the next day instead of staying another night. Also the pool wasnt available for use. Well definitely try a different motel next time.

Roach infestation

There were cockroaches in the room, mold in the bathroom, along with rust in the bottom of the bathtub, and the room is in poor shape, that I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. I got beat up by some kind of bug along with the infestation of cockroaches on the carpet. It looks like it has not been replaced in 20 years. The stove did not work, I had to reassemble it myself. Air conditioning in the living room area did not work either and it is hot and humid this time of year in Carlsbad. Check out after only being there a couple hours because I cannot handle cockroaches.

Horrible, lumpy pillows and mattress. Stained sheets. Two microwaves but neither worked. Bugs in the flatware drawer. Garbage disposal did not work and had smelly food left in in. Loud train went by every hour. Smoke detector on ceiling had a flashing light that lit up the ceiling in the dark. Bathroom door gets stuck when you slide it closed, extremely difficult to slide back open. Couch was extremely stained, plus had hole in it where the foam cushion was exposed. Basically, we tried not to touch anything and checked out first thing in the morning and found a different place to stay.

The motel smells musty and like wet dog. It seems there may have been flooding or some type of leak. Our first room was on the 3rd floor at the end of the hallway that smelled liked mold. The room was in terrible condition and the AC didn't work. So we had to go back downstairs and change rooms. Then we went back to the first room and hauled our things to the 2nd room. The 2nd room was better but not by much. The curtain was being held back by a thumbtack and had a rip to hook on it. The bedside lamp had burn marks and there was a white stain on the floor that looked questionable. The bathroom ceiling over the shower had a leak stain and mold growing. Also in the bathroom the air vent was covered in dust and possibly more mold. We will not be returning to any motel 6 locations going forward. We will choose to go somewhere else.

Electrical receptacles in room with no cover plates. No soap or shampoo in the bathroom. Noise transfers through the walls like crazy so we could hear the neighbors late into the night/early morning. We mentioned the cockroaches to the front desk and were told we would get some sort of refund, but never received anything.

After checking in our room …the room was hot with no air circulating. We had to call and maintenance said it was a fuse. They knew we were staying for four days and the room should have had air on. I only found one trash can located in the bathroom. The towels were not bath towels (small towels) terrible pillows, the vanity sink had an item in the drain (housekeeper should have removed it). We never had any housekeeping service. We will not be coming back in the future.

When checking into the hotel, there was no smile or friendliness from the staff. They didn’t inform us that the pool was out of service, there was no breakfast available, and the fitness center was closed. I asked the front desk for towels and toilet paper, and they said they would bring them, but never did. Every time we walked in or out, the staff just stared at us no greeting, no smile. Very uncomfortable experience. I will never stay here again

Don’t book through hotels.com

Hotels.com reservation confirmed multiple times, but when I finally got there, they had no record of my reservation. Staff member was agitated unfriendly and kept stressing that she was on her lunch break and she shouldn’t be helping me at 8:30 at night. She did nothing with her manager or me to accommodate us a party of five stating there’s no reservation and she just can’t help me because there’s no room hotels.com was even worse as it’s been over a week and they still haven’t responded to my emails about the confusion and lost reservation at the hotel

Room needs attention

There were fleas in the room. Sheer drapes are shredded and need to be replaced. The mattresses need to be turned or rotated. The coffee carafe does not fit the maker. The water does not flow through to the pot. Otherwise the room was great. Clean and comfortable.

Hotel has the potential to be a good quality hotel unfortunately because of the lack of cleanliness it is not. It needs better maintenance and up keeping. For sure better housekeeping. The carpets need MAJOR washing!! It’s in a convenient location.

If looks were deceiving this is the place to be. Walking up to this place had me at a wow for a Motel 6 family but Walking in got hit with a dingy smell. Waking up to the room had a stranger smell. The carpet was dirty the room had roaches and the walls had smashed spiders and roaches I didn't even bother unpacking like I normally do. Had to eat out every day for the fear of the roaches coming out. My family and I slept on top of the sheets afraid of getting bit.

ABSOLUTELY CHECK ALL REVIEWS BEFORE GOING

The pictures presented were absolutely false I had high hopes but walking into my room I was immediately disappointed, disgusted, and just uncomfortable to have my family there especially my 3 month old son I was scared to lay him down on anything. This hotel was falsely advertised as clean, and as pictured it was far from I’m not sure what housekeeping does but to walk into a disgustingly dirty space was just not okay for what we paid.

SO EMBARRASSING!!!

This place LOOKED so nice...The family was so excited to finally take a trip before school starts. Envited friends and booked 2 SUITES suitable for 5 guests EACH only 6 of us came, TOTAL. POOL WAS DOWN WITHOUT NOTICE! The door handle had to be opened by staff for entry.The rooms weren't together, smelled like cat p***. Rusted vents, shower heads and drains. No other rooms available to accommodate our party size? Yet, we couldn't cancel without being charged. NO TOILETRIES! ONLY 2 CUPS and 2 small plates per room... no forks or spoons. No TOWELS or BLANKETS, just sheets. We ended up buying our own supplies.
***We drove too far and knew that the beach experience would be worth it.
NICE SIZE ROOMS, JUST CLEAN IT UP! 😉
