Fair stay but wouldn’t choose this Motel 6 in Carlsbad again

Close to fwy access

Old mattress, skimpy blanket, heater didn’t work, mattress slides off the platform and only 2 pillows

Glad I'm going home

We were able to get a room last minute, and the guy at the front desk was nice.

The beds are horrible! Throughout the whole night, there's some type of clicking noise

Stay here if your only other choice is your car.

Location. Water pressure in shiwer.

Toilet stopped up on first flush. No Wifi ; had been out for a week but booking.com didnt warn visitors. Terrible lighting inside the room. Especially around the table where i needed to work. No plug for bathtub. Dont wanna stay there again.

Maid just walked in on us.

Dogs are allowed

The maid who did not understand English came barging into our room. We were yelling for her to not come in, we were not dressed and she did anyways. I went to the office as we were expected some sort of apology and only got a shrug. And no do not disturb signs...

Wish I would have had my family sleep in the car.

N/A

The room had multiple issues including things left in the room from a previous guest. The door had damage as if it was previously broken into. Unsafe and unsanitary. We made it out ok, but woke up feeling terrible about having my family stay here.

Nothing

No replacement towels, internet, toilet paper, fridge or microwave. Cock 🪳 roaches, and a lot of druggies. In a non smoking room that had an ash tray and cigg butts in the room.

Walking the Green mile!

I Didn’t stay there was no hot water

Being told when I check in that there’s gonna be hot water in 30 minutes and then 2 1/2 hours later you call the front desk to find out there’s not gonna be any hot water until the following morning. That was the whole reason why I rented a room for that night so I left.

5.0 / 10.0

As far as Motel 6 goes it was one of the better ones.

Trying to find something nice to say. Free WiFi was good and reliable. Pool was clean. Security guard at night was alert and proactive. The location was very close to the beach and the price was good for the area. The front desk staff were mostly friendly.

The clientele are of course the biggest issue here. I felt the need to use shirts as pillowcases because of how thin they are. They supply conditioner on request but not shampoo. Towels are so thing and heavily utilized, you can sense the last person who used it. The grass was so long and unmowed for a long time. The guys came round to mow it and still left half done.

1.0 / 10.0

The worst ever.

Nothing.

The property was dated and dingy. There were questionable characters seemingly allowed to trespass. My room had no electricity and only the light in the bathroom worked. None of the outlets. I had 1 body towel for a 3 person reservation and after calling several times over my 48 hour stay. I received them after checkout time and my children were unable to bathe for 2 days after spending the days at Legoland. Manager Kiki was rude and dismissive. Worst experience ever.

3.0 / 10.0

Dank and smoky (non-smoking) room !

The ONLY redeeming feature of this Motel 6 is the location; it is extremely close to a Ralph's /CVS / Starbucks shopping center. And, it is very central to local, good beaches. It is RIGHT near the I-5 (Poinsettia) on and off ramp on the 'better' side of I-5; that being WEST of I-5.

We are BOTH non-smokers who distinctly requested non-smoking and this room smelled like an old ashtray. My clothes ALL reek of STALE Motel 6 now I always bring my ROKU on trips to connect to the room T.V. None of the HDMI connections functioned on the room T.V.--I've NEVER had a room where I had a problem. And we DESPISE commercial television; being forced to watch non-streaming just added more to the disappointment level of this experience. Fortunately, this was a high school reunion and I drank enough NOT to stress about the dumb T.V. ! That room just needs an entire tear down and rebuild. Burn holes in the drapes The floor was kinda like walking barefoot into a tired movie theater; sticky-dirty. This place got TWO THUMBS DOWN from us!

very dirt with roaches

nothing about this place was good.

the room was very dirty, beds looked like a bum had been sleeping on it with all the stains and dirt all over it. bugs were smashed all over the walls, roaches running all over the place and mold all over in the uncleaned bathroom. we had to get a refund and find another place to stay that ended up costing us three times the price. very disappointed with this motel 6.

3.0 / 10.0

Would not recommend this property for any stay, very unrested and unsatisfied.

Location

Room themselves where not as depicted. Linens were sparse for the guests, and the beds were less than basic - worn in mattresses and pillows. And it appeared that both linen sets in our beds still had sand in them as we could feel it when we played down to sleep. Curtains were torn and the exterior of the hotel was not clean at all. Also upon arrival the property had a hand written sign indicating that they were cash only, which in this day and age seems ridiculous to me. Ended up paying via the booking app and should have just left at that point. Will not make that mistake again.

The hotel looked run down n the beds were so uncomfortable… the place looked dirty didn’t even use the shower it looked gross. The bed looked more like a full than a queen size. Sheets were thin n practically barely a pillow

It was nice and peaceful.

The location was perfect. the rooms were very clean and just right for what we needed it for. The staff was accommodating and kind. I would definitely go there again.

The only issues we had was the air conditioner wasn't cold enough. Also we requested a bottom floor room and was not able to get it.

Unsafe Stay: Outdated Motel, No Response After iPad Disappeared

Nothing

The motel is very outdated, and I am extremely disappointed with the service. During our stay on July 26th and 27th in the room 209, my daughter hid her birthday present—an iPad—under the bed mattress for safekeeping, as there was no safe available in the room. Unfortunately, we forgot it there when we checked out. The very next day, we contacted the motel both via the Booking.com contact form and by phone, asking housekeeping to check the room. We were told the iPad was not there. I specifically requested that someone check under the mattress, but was informed that only the area beside the bed had been looked at. Despite this, we never received any proper follow-up or response. It seems obvious that when the mattress liner was changed, housekeeping must have found the iPad. Yet we were simply told it was “not there,” and no further effort was made. My daughter is heartbroken and devastated at losing her birthday gift. After I left a negative review, the motel replied that they wanted to follow up and asked me to send an email. I wrote five emails—one every three days—but I never received a single reply. This shows that the motel pretends to care about customer complaints but in reality has no genuine interest in helping guests or resolving issues.

1.0 / 10.0

Very bad place

I arrived at the motel and when I went to reception to check in, they told me that my reservation couldn't be found, that it didn't appear in their system, and that they couldn't sell me another room because they were fully booked. I asked them what would happen, but they didn't resolve the issue and still charged my card. 0% recommended

1.0 / 10.0

Overall, it was a horrible experience.

Nothing to like in this hotel

The room had no outside window, only one facing the interior corridor. For privacy, it had to stay closed because anyone walking by could see directly inside. This made the room dark, stuffy, and uncomfortable, with no fresh air or natural light. The mattress was old, and the springs were pinching my back, making it difficult to sleep. Room cleaning service was not available on a daily basis, and no basic toiletries like toothpaste or a toothbrush were provided. There was also no wake-up call service. Overall, it was a horrible experience, and the lack of comfort and amenities made my stay very unpleasant. The actual experience did not match the listing on Booking.com. I would not recommend this property.

It is in a good location. It is close to the shopping outlet. The staff are nice.

We only stayed overnight and unfortunately, on a hot day the air conditioning was not working properly. Someone checked on it and he said they already reported it. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

.Very basic but not awful.

location not bad, most staff very polite, some not so much.

Rooms are in need of remodel and at least new beds,, bed was worn, soft, not supportive, my back hurts after 2 evenings. I made my reservation weeks in advance and yet could not get a handicapped room for my wife being that she is primarily wheelchair bound at this time. They only had 1 night avail in that room.

OK hotel, acceptable price

Hotel is well located, instalations are OK as price is accessible.

Unfortunately we did not had a pleasant experience, at midight someone try to open the door of my room. Front desk did not show interest in knowing more about the incident, so I suggest moving to another room.

They said nothing about A.C not working.

Just the location. Close to the beach and stores that's all I can say about that.

The key they gave me didn't work and I had to go back and forth 5 times to change the key out 5 times so they gave me another room cuz none of the keys worked on the first room .next room I walked in and beds weren't made trash on the ground, tables no towels. And most of all the A.C DIDN'T WORK & THEY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT WHEN I CHECKED IN. NOT A WORD THATS WRONG I WOULD OF WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE IF I WAS TOLD THAT.
