Good workers. Clean room.

1.0 / 10.0

We rang three days before checking in and asked about the room was told it had a stove and all the cooking equipment needed was I. The draws and cupboard and I told them I was in a wheelchair and was told my room was ground floor and near the check-in in case of emergency It was second floor at the very back of the property and had no stove only a small electric hot plate and cooking equipment cups plates and utensils were a fifty dollar charge so we booked a kitchenette but couldn't use it There was a metal panel falling off the wall and exposed a huge hole in the wall and the sofa was a cheap copy of a bus seat plywood wrapped in cheap vinyl a man called Sean a young phillipino came to fix the broken tv and told us he was brought into fix the hotel and would move and upgrade us in the morning The next morning no one had any idea what he was talking about it took all day to get moved we moved from 224 to 209 had just unpacked for the second time when Sean called the room below was flooded and it was coming from our pipes so he said he was moving us upgrading us and giving us 2 free nights so we moved only to be told by his boss yes he'd lied about being in charge there was no extra nights and we were abused and treated like we were scammers this was the first 24 hours our 4 nights were ruined we didn't leave our rooms except to grab breakfast and bring it to our room their idea of an upgrade was a room with bunks and the same hot plate it sucked

5.0 / 10.0

Staff was great. Room was fine

3.0 / 10.0

No soap in the bathroom, dingy room, obvious termite activity in the stairwell. Was asked to pay $25 to check in an hour early when the room was clearly available. Staff was nice but the facilities were mediocre.

1.0 / 10.0

AC unit stinks up the room, needs to be replaced.

5.0 / 10.0

All was great. People at desk when we checked in were friendly and helpful.

4.0 / 10.0

We had a room that faced the highway and it was pretty noisy. I asked to be moved for our second night and we were given a room that faced the pool. It was amazing! The front desk staff was very responsive. The breakfast bar was clean and nicely stocked. However, we hoped for some waffles or pancakes and missed the breakfast meat. We could have used more gluten free options. The staff there was very friendly and cheerful. It was a good way to start the day!

2.0 / 10.0

The room was very musty smelling to where we had to have the windows open most of the night to breath. Our crib wasn't put in our room per our request so we had to bother the poor front desk lady And her manager who was there when we got there (around 6 PM) and when we left (past 7 AM). The toilet was clogged from before us and the bed was very springy to where my wife and I could feel every bit of each other's movement. The "hot breakfast" had two hot items (bagged eggs, and cheese potatoes - no meat) and otherwise a continental breakfast. The whole building has settled so the room and deck were signifcantly bowed (the dresser drawer would not shut due to this) and tilted too. The pros were that it is a decent (and seemlingly safe) location (if you don't mind the noise from Interstate 5 right across from the motel) and it looked like it was a nice pool and hot tub. The room other than the smell and bowing was ok too and seemed clean enough with a recent remodel of a few things. If you don't mind a strong musty smell, possible toilet clogs, a lack luster breakfast, and seemingly overworked staff if something goes wrong, then this might be an option for you. I would say this is a 2 and a half star motel at best - not a 3 star so if you are looking for a 3 star experience, look elsewhere. And if you have a postpartum wife who wants a 3 star experience DEFINETLY LOOK ELSEWHERE!!

4.0 / 10.0

The room wasn’t large and had a slight musty smell but was very clean. Luggage carts only available near lobby. Freeway is loud. Beautiful pool and jacuzzi and warm enough to swim at night. Best part was the person who prepared the breakfast, such a beautiful soul. And the breakfast was delicious, from the hot, fluffy yummy eggs, potatoes and all of the other choices.

2.0 / 10.0

This would be a great hotel for a low income family with a limited budget. Close proximity to the beach and Lego Land. But it’s a dump. 1. Noise-it’s right next to highway 5, and the noise was a problem. 2. Cleanliness—room smelled musty and bathroom had ants, 3. Kitchen-No plates, cups, utensils 4. Furnishings-old and beat up. The “couch” is not a couch, it’s an uncomfortable vinyl bench. I chose this place because the good properties were priced way high (holiday weekend) Never again

1.0 / 10.0

We stayed for four nights and had the worst experience ever. The housekeeping services only clean rooms every other day, and their response when I asked for towels was poor. Additionally, the hot tub was broken, and the breakfast was unsatisfactory.

4.0 / 10.0

Fantastic personnel at Best Western Carlsbad by the Sea. We enjoyed the time we spend there. The hot tub and pool being available after our event was a plus.

5.0 / 10.0

The bed was very comfortable

2.0 / 10.0

The TV would work and maintenance was gone for the day, and desk personnel were no able to help. We changed rooms with a working TV. Room was not serviced the next day, and desk staff said we had not requested that it. Confused we did get a complement of fresh towels. Definite plug problems in both rooms. Rooms are poorly maintained. We will not stay there again.

5.0 / 10.0

Everything was excellent, the only downside is that the kitchen had nothing—no dishes or anything related to cooking. Other than that, everything was very good and close to the beach.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at your hotel. We hope to come back again.

Smells like mold

4.0 / 10.0

“Best Western Carlsbad by the Interstate” might have been a better name. Extremely noisy starting at about 4am. I blasted a white noise app from my phone and cranked the ac to try and cover up the sound to no avail. It looked as if the Hotel was not even 20% full and they chose to put me on the side of the building right by the interstate with a 6pm check in. Not impressed.

When I first entered my room, I was greeted with a pungent scent of pee and sweat. It smelled horrible and unpleasant. The door was also broken, so I had to call someone to fix it. The hair dryer was dusty and dirty. 0 stars!!

My Girl Scouts had a great time. The pool was nice and the rooms were comfortable. Thank you for being apart of our year.

8.0 / 10.0

Intentionally selected this hotel based on the proximity to the beach. However, directly across from the hotel is a gated community, and we had to drive around, making it less convenient. Breakfast was fine but minimal. Typically cleaned out by about 8:40. Exterior of the hotel was a little outdated and there was overflowing trash everywhere. The employees were very kind and responsive, it was just more than they could keep up with.

6.0 / 10.0

Alright for a place to crash overnight. Not stellar but we also weren’t paying for stellar

2.0 / 10.0

I already did this. The room was horrible. They said that through Expedia I asked for a room that allows animals, and this dungeon of a room was the only room they could give us. I certainly did not have an animal and even an animal would be very uncomfortable in that room!

2.0 / 10.0

The lobby smelled like a smokers house. The guy upfront wasn’t friendly and very awkward and short worded. The ice machines didn’t work. The screens on each said ice machine is off. Our room smelled old and musty. The carpet was black and stinky.
