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.

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

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.

The hotel is very cute, I enjoyed my stay. It had a kittenette - stove, small fridge with a freezer, and microwave. The bathroom had a blow dryer, that is always nice. Thank you to the lady at the window - I was able to check in a little before 3 pm.
