"First time at this Westin in Carlsbad. Check-in was smooth and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Went to the room and it was on the first floor but also, once we opened the door, the smell of smoke was overwhelming. Called to the front desk which was answered by the hotel next door. They tried to help but ultimately couldn’t since I was requesting to move rooms. I was connected to the staff member in the Westin and she moved us to a 3rd floor room and it did not smell of smoke. We were only there for 1 night to celebrate my birthday. In the morning, 2 times the cleaning staff tried to come in the room. Luckily we had it double locked or else they would’ve walked right in. It was very strange since check out was at noon."
