Convenient location that is close to the beach and local activities. Basic amenities, but great price comparatively! The room was cozy and I didn’t hear much noise or traffic. Walked to every planned destination for the weekend. I definitely recommend, and will stay another time.

This motel was horrible, had to request a refund. The room smelled horrible, the sheets had cigarette burns, and didn’t smell clean and had hair. The air conditioner didn’t work. And to top it off the bed felt like cardboard.

It's an older motel that's been upgraded so it's modern. The trains aren't too bad, but you can still hear them, even though the ad i saw said the rooms were soundproofed. Luckily the trains go by fast and seemed to be short.

I stay here every time I come to Carlsbad for work. You can count on a simple yet clean and comfortable room with easy access to the beach about a five minute walk and amazing restaurants about a 10 minute walk. This property is unique because as a family owned and operated motel they take pride in their property and offer an outstanding overnight experience at an affordable price.
