Although it’s not a 5 star hotel I do enjoy staying here. The beds are decent. The full sized fridge is awesome and the rooms are decently spacious. However I thought the rooms were a little overpriced and I felt like their staff was entering my room when I wasn’t there. If they fixed their pool and offered breakfast this place could make a complete turnaround.

What was unique about the property is how large it is. The rooms are very large & have full size fridges-which is good-but the massive amount of roaches outweighs the good. When you walk down the hallways all you will see is dirty carpets and some roaches on the walls. We had a total of 3 rooms. The first room was roach infested and the carpet was so dirty that when you walked on it you had dirt attached to your feet. The second room we got transferred to after I complained to the GM was visibly clean but you would see a few roaches here and there. The 3rd room we got transferred to was visibly clean expect the bathtub was stained. The 1st and 3rd room had torn shower curtains, broken towel holders. The first room tv didn’t work. All rooms had ripped window curtains. Al rooms had stained bedding. The towels were all rough and some had stains. Last but not least the pillows there are really flat for some reason. When I asked the GM about the cleanliness of the bedding and rooms she emphasized that the amenities and bedding weren’t of a 4 start hotel. So I was pretty shocked with her answer. Regardless of what star the property is considered everything should be clean. The only reason why I gave the property staff more than a 1 star is there was a young man who worked evening hours that had an extremely great attitude. This motel would be great if they controlled the roaches, had no stained bedding, had properly cleaned carpets, better trained property staff, and soft towels,et

The rooms are homey, and dont give off the vibe that I'm residing in a hotel but more like a studio. I like they offer polomive dish soap too

I had a feeling this looked like a Motel 6 from the logo and very similar name, but I gave it a shot. Once I mapped my location from inside the room I realized my gut was correct as it showed Motel 6 (I guess name on Google maps hasn’t been changed yet ). With that said, you get what you should expect from a Motel 6. Found roaches, no extra bedding for someone staying on couch with stains, and no one is at the lobby to assist after 10pm.

Avoid at All Costs – Filthy, Unhygienic, and Mismanaged I regret booking a stay at Studio 6 in Carlsbad, California—it was, without a doubt, one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I stepped into my room, I was appalled by the state of the furniture. The couch was in complete disarray—stained, torn, and truly disgusting. The bed was just as bad, made with only a single sheet and no blanket. When I went downstairs to request one, I was told they didn’t have any blankets at all—an absolutely ridiculous situation for a hotel. I then asked for a different room, which the front desk employee—clearly untrained and begrudgingly willing to help—reluctantly agreed to show me. Shockingly, the second room was in even worse condition than the first. The only upside? It had a blanket, which I asked to take back to my original room. At this point, I was already frustrated, but things only got worse. The real nightmare? Cockroaches. My girlfriend and I killed three cockroaches in the bathroom at different times throughout our stay. That was the final straw. On top of the unacceptable cleanliness and complete lack of hospitality, it was clear that the hotel has a contract with the city or county to house homeless individuals. While I understand the need for such programs, it creates an environment that is far from what any traveler would expect in a “normal” motel. The experience was uncomfortable, unsafe, and far from relaxing. Bottom line: If you’re looking f

The gentleman who assisted me from the beginning was great. One of the housekeepers was great. Passed that it was un professional. I was changed to a different run due to plumbing issues with the first room. The first room had ants and the second room had roaches!!! These room were disgusting and had old dirty laundry under the couches. This hotel should not be rated 3.5 stars. Maybe a 2 star. We had to leave the facility because of large commotion on our floor that was happening and there was dog urine across our floor and the lobby area. I will be calling Expedia or expecting a call. This stay was unacceptable.

I've been going there for 4 years and I'm so disappointed in the company. They are letting things fall apart, I booked a suite and it stunk so bad I couldn't sleep in there. I think it was Cat smell. I'm okay with people who travel with pets, but the units need to be cleaned. The furniture is in terrible shape and dirty. The manager moved me to another unit, I had to downgrade, but at least it smelt clean and had better carpet. He did try to take care of me, but I inquired about what the company is doing to upgrade... It needs it badly. The staff, the maids are very nice and I can see they are trying their best. Sadly, I won't go back. I can't take a chance of getting a room that had an animal owner who doesn't care nor respect the property. All rooms are animal friendly, so that means the chances of getting another dirty room are high. Air conditioner was falling apart, refrigerator was not cold at all... yeah poor condition overall. Great locations, but not worth going into filth. Sad to see it go down hill.

Without a doubt this was the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in. The room had cockroaches, the couch was absolutely filthy, the curtains were torn and they provided a chip clip with which to hold them closed so that the room would be darkened, the tub was stained and the carpet was absolutely disgusting. If I could give this zero Stars I would. I was to have stayed there three nights and left after the first night. From the outside it looks great and honestly the rooms could be great if they would fumigate, paint, and put new flooring. They do not have a breakfast even though they have a dining room and I was told that the pool was still empty but I did not check myself not that I would have gone in it anyway. Extremely disappointed. Note: I have many photos but for some reason it will not allow me to upload them.

From the outside, it looked ok to give it a try. We checked into our 1st room only to find it was not even close to ready as the maid had it torn apart. Got to our 2nd room and the key card didn;t work, so I had to use my wife's. walked into a hot room, A/C was torn apart and not in working order. Tried to call the front desk, phone didn't work either. Walked down the filthy, and I mean FILTHY hallways that were noisy and SMELLY to go back to the front desk, was asked by a random lady if she could bum a cigarette off of me, and asked the front desk for a cleaner room with a working phone and A/C. He gave me another room and again one of my keys didn't work, but A/C and phone did. I walked out the back door to the car and there was a shady RV parked by the door. Door was broken, NOT secure. Couch in the room was badly stained and looked like several cats used it as a scratch toy. 2 hours later a cockroach scampered across the floor. THAT'S IT!!! WE are OUTTA here! Checket out, and STILL fighting to get our money back! Tom Bobette!!!!! Are you still leaving the lights on......for the roaches?????
