Great location. Decent rooms. No closet or hangers for clothes. Shower water pressure really low and takes a while to turn hot. If you just want a great location and not a nice room, it’s for you

The room was clean,really tiny ,But it was a very quiet place if that's what your looking for ..Then that's for you. I was wanted to rent a room, So I could sit in a tub and soak. But just like my luck no bath tub. And I also thought it was in San Diego . When I rented it. and I payed for it right off the bat with out reading . There conditions So I had to drive that far just to take a bath .And when I got there ,Guess What??? No bathrooms in the whole place. So I drove a hour to do that and was disappointed when I got there. But it was a good place for the price. What stood out was how peaceful it to was

Got the queen bed room- price and location good other than that HORRIBLE! So tiny, old not clean. You get two thin stain towels, one hand towel and one washcloth. Stains on sheets pillow case. Toilet runs all night, not sound proof, you can hear everything. They are doing a new roof, no mention of that. Asked front desk for towels and was told maybe to now when cleaning comes in. I would not and do not recommend.

We booked this knowing full and well it was a small Motel property. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The rooms are small but very clean and come with everything you'll need for a weekend stay. 5min walk from beach and just down thebstreet from Downtown Carlsbad/Carlsbad Village. I will definitely be coming back and booking with them again. Thank you for the stay. You made our trip wonderful.
Rented 2 double bed room. It was perfect.
