Breakfast opened at 5am which is perfect for those birding or traveling early
Excellent room, friendly helpful folks.The bathroom was fantastic !!! An absolute best value 1 Anyone going to Carlsbad for any reason should stay here. We hopefully will be back !
This place was really cute on the outside and had super potential. Our actual room was so gross, from the toilet and shower to the fridge and countertops. I was so thankful that we were there to basically sleep only.

Clean, good overall value, great location within walking distance of restaurants.
Room was clean and tidy. Staff was ok. Location is great for us. My only complaint is there was no soap in the bathroom. At this price you would expect to have something.

The room was not cleaned. Floors were not vacuumed or swept, windowsill had a lot of red dirt, mirror was spotty, there was food take-out containers in the cabinet, and it didn’t look like the toilet had been clean. The sheets and towels appeared fresh, and the garbages were emptied.
We did not stay as the room has not been cleaned in some time. Food stains, dirty carpet, bed has been used and sheets were terribly stained. We were very disappointed.

We booked here last minute. Based on the online photos we thought it was maybe an up and coming little boutique motel. Everything seemed nice and good at check in, then we got into our room… there was feces and blood on the bathroom wall. There was stuff on the shower floor. The toilet, shower door and sink had not been cleaned. There were stains all over the carpet and walls. The sheets were stained and had long black hairs everywhere. This was one of the worst experiences we’ve had and will never be coming back.
