Great little motel near everything. Property is a little older, but the location is walking distance to many activities and restaurants. Even though they do not offer breakfast, it would be nice to have a coffee maker in the rooms. The family that owns the property are very nice and accommodating to requests.

Basic motel within 5 min walk to closest beach entrance , rooms got some updates and ok overall. Area feels better than where similarly priced motels near I-5 are , it, still few homeless can be seen around. With right price it can be a good deal if you don’t mind infrequent cleaning service.

Worst hotel experience ever! Checked in & went into our room to find it dirty & with cigarette smell, even though they claim that it’s a “non smoking room”. I couldn’t stay in those type of conditions due to me being pregnant as well as having my husband & 2 year old with me. Went back to the desk to try & get another room

Very convenient location- 2 min walk to Carlsbad village . Easy parking. Rooms are small but fine for a couple who wants affordability . Property can use an outside paint overhaul, which Vijay agrees with. Property has plenty of potential with some TLC .

Great Place! Great Price.

I chose this place because of its location and convenience. It is a beautiful place in a beautiful city. The location is near most anything you could want within walking distance and a beautiful beach scene if you do walk anywhere.

This is a very patched up hotel with zero pride or attention to detail. At check in I was handed a television remote that was dirty and the back of it had fallen off, so the batteries were exposed and tape was holding them on. The office had damage to the ceiling and the attendant said it happened last year. They still had not fixed it. My air conditioner button to increase the temperature had a hole in it and you had to stick something into the hole to make it work. When I complained and showed it to the attendant, he stuck the back end of a paint brush into the hole and said "See, it works." Thus, the ownership is ok with this poor working order and presentation. The doors were dirty on the inside and outside as well as the door mouldings. They could probably be cleaned by simply wiping them down, but they clearly don't care. There is poor drywall and stucco patchwork in the rooms and on the exterior of the hotel. Finally, that nifty taped up dirty remote couldn't even turn on the TV. Don't reward these owners for being cheap and having no pride of ownership or attention to detail.
