Terrible…I’ve stayed at Motel 6 east in Carlsbad and it had a totally different vibe. Service was very impersonal. Cleaners or employees were having full blown conversations out side my room from 7 am.

My key didn’t work, had to get a new one made. It’s how inconvenient it was all day, I had to get some one to open the door twice. Being a diabetic I asked for a refrigerator and they never brought it. So had to get large bag of ice! And naturally the ice machine was empty so had to wait for it to make Ice. The other machine wasn’t on because it was broken.

Heater didn’t work . Room too cold, no cleaning in the room in 4 days I stayed. Manager Chris very rude kicked me out with my newborn because I paid an extra night online.
