I’ve stayed at this property several times and it’s been clean and comfortable, but not well maintained. This time I couldn’t say it was clean anymore. Sad. It was an inexpensive and comfortable place to sleep.

Saturday night natives -

The local workers staying at this facility stayed up late visiting outside our room. They were not courteous of others at late hours at all.

The shower head didnt work but the bath faucet was fine. An old tired bed with 2 skinny pillows. No coffe in the room, lobby coffee was an instant machine, just awful. On the good side, my pup was welcome and that was most important.

Good value for Carlsbad

Reasonably clean (inside of fridge could have been cleaner) quiet and comfortable. Great shower and textured tub surface. The room was small and cramped. Not bad for a Motel 6 and probably a decent value for Carlsbad. We usually stay there when in Carlsbad because the lodging rates are so high in that tourist town.

Outdated rooms in general

Rooms are outdated. For some reason they gave us a handicap room and it was really hard to take a shower. Noisy air conditionings, we didn't use ours but the other rooms had them. Noisy guests too in other rooms.

Room was not clean

The staff member was very friendly at check in. We got to our room and at a glance it was what I’d expect from a Motel 6. However, as we looked around, it clearly hadn’t been properly cleaned. There was a poop streak in the toilet and toothpaste on one of the towels hanging on the rack. Totally unacceptable, even from a cheaper motel.
