For the price and the location it is great. The railroad noise of the closeby trains and the PCH make it quite a challenge with the windows open. So its only for the traveller with a tight budget and a high tolerance toward noise. The outside look and some parts of the rooms appear pretty worn down and aged.

Very convenient location- 2 min walk to Carlsbad village . Easy parking. Rooms are small but fine for a couple who wants affordability . Property can use an outside paint overhaul, which Vijay agrees with. Property has plenty of potential with some TLC .

Worst hotel experience ever! Checked in & went into our room to find it dirty & with cigarette smell, even though they claim that it’s a “non smoking room”. I couldn’t stay in those type of conditions due to me being pregnant as well as having my husband & 2 year old with me. Went back to the desk to try & get another room
