I like how conveniently located this is to shopping near the Carlsbad outlets and Legoland. A good point between South San Diego and Orange county. I would recommend this hotel. There is only one parking available per room so if you are traveling with more than one car be prepared to park somewhere else. It's near the freeway but I didn't hear much traffic. And it's really close to the beach too. I would say the downside was the limit to one car parking. They do give you a pass to put on your car so make sure you put that on there. At least give two passes if you know that room has more than one car. I also think they should clean the area where the dogs relieve themself because it looks like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks. Other than that I enjoyed my stay.

Better than I expected

Honestly for a motel 6 it wasn’t bad! It was a last minute booking, so it was nice they had availability. Check in was alright, I think the front desk lady was on dinner break because I waited about an hour before someone was even there to check me in. When she got there though she was very friendly and quick. The room was fine. I recommend bringing your own pillows and maybe an extra blanket, since the pillows were flat and the blankets were thin. The mattress was comfortable though. You can tell despite the wear and tear on the room, they actually did a good job cleaning everything. The bathroom had a bit of mold around the tub, and towels were pretty small. Water pressure was great. The room was always really humid inside for some reason. It didnt bother me though, I’d open up the door and get that fresh ocean air anyways. Room was quiet and in a good location. If you’re looking for a cheap yet comfortable and safe place to stay, this is your spot! The price is unbeatable. There’s nothing else in the area that’s even remotely this cheap. I had low expectations for a motel 6 but this one was actually great for the money. I dare say I would stay here again!

The air conditioner made noise when it was on. Also, the room faced Highway 5 and was very close to it, so it was very noisy with traffic. I thought it would be difficult for me to sleep at night. I asked the front desk to change the room, but the staff told me that all the rooms had the same noise issue and they couldn’t exchange the room for us.
