Will get the job done for 1 night stay. Will honestly just fork up extra money for somewhere else next time. Unfortunately room reeked of cigarettes and was incredibly small as well. Again got the job done since it’s very close to the village but would recommend elsewhere. Also they will not hold your bags for you if you wished to walk around before your flight, huge FYI

Motel Scandia, Carlsbad, CA

This is a small family owned motel. The rep was very friendly. There really are no amenities to speak of. The room was small but clean enough. The bed spread had a burn hole in it even tho it’s a non smoking facility. The queen size bed was ok but not great. The best part of this motel is its location. Walking distance to the beach and to old downtown Carlsbad. The downtown is very vibrant and entertaining. If you can walk a half mile on sidewalks you’re in it! The place is not bad for 100 bucks a night! I just had to remind myself this is a motel not a Marriott or a Hilton!

Location is PERFECT for the beach or just going out in down town Carlsbad! However the room was pretty dirty. Thank god my sister brought her own sheets because there was bodily fluids in the comforter and holes from what looked like cigarettes. We didnt spend much time in the room so it was perfect for a place to rest your head but come prepared.

Most disgusting room ever! The bed sheets were covered with what looked like flakes of skin or crumbs. Pillows had yellow stains on them that they tried to cover with pillow case. Mattress had stains as did bed cover. Checked out within 20 minutes of arrival and will be asking for a refund.

Precious Commodity Priced Just Right

The hotel staff was extremely accommodating, very friendly and made me feel welcomed. They are within walking distance from literally anything you could possibly want food and drink wise, including the beach. Very nice atmosphere, convenient dog and smoke park on the property. Not once did I catch second hand smoke from anyone, nice.

People that owned and operated the property were nice. It’s very outdated and needs maintenance. You pay for convenience to the beach. Not bad, not good.

The location was the only good thing about this place. The walls were so dirty inside of the room and in the bathroom that I didn’t want to touch anything. The train station is behind the motel so prepare to be woken by train horns all night. I asked for a refund and they offered to move me to another room. I would never stay there again.

Its good that it is so cheap for the area. But it is cheap for a reason. The room is run down and you hear street traffic all night. It was fine for just me crashing but I would not take my family here.
