Even though the rooms are just average at best, you have many options for restaurants, grocery shopping, and close proximity to the beach. It’s quite safe around there, but you do hear some of the freeway traffic. Overall though, I’d recommend this place if you need a comfy bed and good options for food.
Though the location is great, the hotel is run down and in need of remodeling. We killed a couple of roaches in the bathroom. The food vending machine is extremely expensive! An individual pizza for $10.99 is outrageous!! Needless to say we just went down the street to Ralph’s an purchased food.
Nice location for the motel 6 near shopping centers, grocery store, and the beach.
AC did not work and it was very warm in the room. Tried to turn it on and it only felt hotter in there. We asked for extra bath towels and they only had 1 more to give.
The place did not feel safe mainly because of what appeared to be regulars there eyeing your car and luggage.
Considering the price, not worth it.
we found a dead roach smashed on the wall. our upper lock to the door didn’t work it’s like the door wasn’t leveled . big safety concern. sheets and bedding was stained when we asked for towels we wer told they didn’t have face towels so she gave us two body towels and two towels that go on the floor when you step out the shower… i took pictures of thee entire room and we left it how we found it.

Decent Stay with a Few Comfort Issues
Our stay at Motel 6 Carlsbad Beach was generally fine, especially for a budget-friendly option near the coast. The room was clean upon arrival, which we appreciated, and check-in was smooth and efficient. The location is definitely a plus—close to the beach and other attractions.
However, there were a few comfort issues that made the experience less than ideal. One of the beds had an uneven mattress that made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep, and there weren’t enough pillows provided for the number of guests. The thermostat was very basic and made it hard to regulate the room temperature consistently, which impacted overall comfort.
It was also disappointing that the TV wouldn’t allow use of the HDMI port, which limited entertainment options during downtime.
Despite these drawbacks, it’s a decent place for a short stay if you’re mainly planning to be out and about. A few simple improvements could go a long way in making this a much more comfortable and convenient option.
