Location is PERFECT for the beach or just going out in down town Carlsbad! However the room was pretty dirty. Thank god my sister brought her own sheets because there was bodily fluids in the comforter and holes from what looked like cigarettes. We didnt spend much time in the room so it was perfect for a place to rest your head but come prepared.

People that owned and operated the property were nice. It’s very outdated and needs maintenance. You pay for convenience to the beach. Not bad, not good.

Will get the job done for 1 night stay. Will honestly just fork up extra money for somewhere else next time. Unfortunately room reeked of cigarettes and was incredibly small as well. Again got the job done since it’s very close to the village but would recommend elsewhere. Also they will not hold your bags for you if you wished to walk around before your flight, huge FYI

Its good that it is so cheap for the area. But it is cheap for a reason. The room is run down and you hear street traffic all night. It was fine for just me crashing but I would not take my family here.

The hotel is very cute, I enjoyed my stay. It had a kittenette - stove, small fridge with a freezer, and microwave. The bathroom had a blow dryer, that is always nice. Thank you to the lady at the window - I was able to check in a little before 3 pm.

Most disgusting room ever! The bed sheets were covered with what looked like flakes of skin or crumbs. Pillows had yellow stains on them that they tried to cover with pillow case. Mattress had stains as did bed cover. Checked out within 20 minutes of arrival and will be asking for a refund.

The location was the only good thing about this place. The walls were so dirty inside of the room and in the bathroom that I didn’t want to touch anything. The train station is behind the motel so prepare to be woken by train horns all night. I asked for a refund and they offered to move me to another room. I would never stay there again.
