Because motel 6 is a chain motel, it is expected to be at least decent. But every time I go to a motel 6 , it's always affordable, pleasant and simple. I usually call only hours in advance for this hotel on the weekend and they get me a room right away. I've never paid over 68 dollars for one... More

What can I say....it's Motel 6 Pros: very close to Carlsbad Village, clean enough room Cons: I am shocked at their level of customer service (they must pay their help minimum wage), noisy, sketchy, super depressing room, charge extra for wi-fi and it isn't very fast wi-fi, thin walls, etc (all the things you expect in a Motel 6) My...

although we have had other people stay here.. over the last two years it has increasingly been known more for the transient crowd then vacationers.. I would not ever recommend this to families or single women... Not to be funny but I have seen a few more truckers stay here lately.. I would assume they are a bit more worldly..... More

Stayed here one night passing thru on a budget and really liked it! Our room was very clean and the property was nicer than some of the other in the chain that I've stayed at. The location was also perfect, with walking distance to some great shops and restaurants! Would recommend it and stay there again.

I have stayed at this property at a previous time and all was well between myself and management when I had checked out. A few days ago I had made a reservation to stay here again for another week. It took me most of the day to get to Carlsbad from Los Angeles on Metrolink. When I finally arrived at... More

I'm self-employed and travel frequently, so I'm often in need of a cheap room. More often than not, that means staying at a Motel 6. Their quality can vary from location to location, however, and I'm always a little hesitant when I'm staying at one for the first time. Some are not in the safest locations, and some are in... More

My husband and I stayed here for a week in June 2012. The motel is clean, simple and basic. No frills. We paid $55.99 a night online. It is 4 blocks from the beach and loads of shopping, restaurants and bars within walking distance. It is right off highway 5. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Have stayed here numerous times. However, this time was disappointing. Although the room was clean, the motel was quite noisy. The first night someone was banging on our door at 2 a.m. The next morning a woman was getting arrested in the parking lot! The next night there was a large party of people hanging around on the grass outside... More
