Motel 6-Carlsbad, CA - East Near LEGOLAND

Nothing great other than the location. Right next to Costco and Legoland. Tons of restaurants nearby. Surprisingly the pool was clean and a small family actually swam in it when we were there. It was inconvenient to borrow the hairdryer by swapping your ID at the front desk. We only borrowed one time not worth borrowing again. Walls were thin, loud running water from other side and people talking out front late in the evening. Would stay again because the location is just that good.

room is clean. coffee is in the lobby. staff is helpful and friendly and always available. close for walking and driving to shopping and food

Close to everything, legoland is a 3 min drive or about a 15 min walk.. Housekeeper do a great job.... Rooms are clean Bedding is clean And for as many people that have probably use the room before me floor is good too.... Only complaint is i wish it had an elevator..FYI property only has 2 floors......

They don't prepare coins for laundry. The receptionist is not considerate at all, even though they should collect them from the laundry. They told me to go to the nearby 7-11, but the 7-11 staff said that they are always in trouble because Motel 6 customers come and ask for coins. If that wasn't the case, it would be a good motel.

The front desk staff is great! I get a room on the second floor and close to the laundry room so I can get my laundry done with no excuses. Lol. The rooms are nicely furnished, spacious, clean and the bathrooms are beautiful! Thanks for a great place at a great price!

Pool closes at 8pm should close later due to Legoland closes at 7pm

Wifi did not work, soap the size of a silver dollar, no shampoo or phone. Remote for TV was useless. Ceilings are very thin from units upstairs. Very noisy.

I find this a typical Motel 6 that has undergone renovation in the rooms making the daily room rates more understandable & easier to reserve a room to stay. The tasteful colors of paint on the walls are soft gray & sone off white. I find the dark wood most appealing in the headboards, nightstands, desks, fridge & micro cabinet, shoe bench and the hanging clothes on hangers with shelf. My room has the barn floor wood look colors from light tan to dark brown variations of wood that is my favorite! I’m not sure if all rooms have the same floor or not? In my 3 days here so far with my extending dates I have been greatly disappointed that the 3 ice machines that I found while walking the grounds looking for ice you won’t find even one cube. There isn’t an out of order sign on any of the three. My room does have a refrigerator which I am thankful for because if I had a room with no refrigerator I would definitely not want to buy ice plus you need an ice chest/cooler/some way to store it to help keep it longer from melting. Do motels have large insulated chests in case no ice to be found? How great would it be that in the lobby in this situation there is a big chest of cubed ice for guests only and as the sign reads on one of the broken down machines “Please be considerate of others when taking a large quantity of ice to work. I don’t remember the pungent sewer smell outdoors all around the property when staying here before. Could this have bearing on the ice situation?

good location pool is nice basic motel - don't expect amenities

Great value for recently renovated rooms at a convenient location a minute or two from Carlsbad beach and a number of restaurants within walking distance. Consistently friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of parking and good signal strength WiFi and the rooms that works with VPN. Maids come around on a daily basis asking if you need anything like towels for example. Feels like a safe property to me. Never had any issue with my car parked here.

Unfortunately the refrigerator was dirty as well as the floor. The show was rusted and had a bad smell from the drain. OMG all night long we heard the dog next to us barking and running all around the room. Let say I was out by 8am. Never again at this location

Floors was very dirty, beds hard and flat in spots and quite uncomfortable. Dead spiders on the bathroom floor. The check in person wasn’t very hospitable and forgot to give us the parking tag. The housekeeping chased me down to see if we needed towels and I’ll say that was the nicest person I’ve dealt with. Other than that it’s just a place to rest your head. No phone, blow dryer, the outlets in the night stand didn’t work.

Freeway is loud. The building shakes when people are going up and down the stairs; it feels like an earthquake. Scary. The floors had not been swepted or mopped. I tried wiping up drops of water and the floor was black; its was disgusting. Microwave and frig had not been cleaned. Bed is uncomfortable. Only two places to hang two towels.

Used gum stuck on the toilet seat, tubs with peeling and broken non-slip mats. Booked a non smoking room that smelled like smoke and had cigarette burn holes on the bedding.

Unpleasant smell in the room. Very noisy from the road. The bathroom is terrible. The paint is all peeling. The floor was dirty. Dust on the headboard. The towels are very small. The bar of soap was tiny. In the morning someone from the neighboring room was arrested.

They had roaches in the room. And I’m still waiting for my refund

Ive been to multiple motels in the North County area, this is the first time Ive actually stayed at a place that I’d call “bug infested.” I saw a couple here and there when I first arrived, but the morning after.. oh my, I turned on the lights and SO MANY bugs scattered away into crevices. They look like small beatles, maybe not roaches but its definitely an infestation. Decided to stay at a different motel6 a few miles from this one and no bugs! Feel bad giving a bad review, the staff was nice and its in a good location, just need to fix their bug problem, major downside

Toilet did not flush. Lamp did not work. Phone did not work. Called front desk on my cell phone to ask for repair and repairman never came. At night found a cockroach walking around on the floor. Used my black light on the sheets and ewwwwww. So many stains.

Room was super clean!!! Bathroom was spotless!!! Everything worked!!! Thank You!!!!

The room smelled, we found a roach in the bathroom, the television did not work and kept making a popping sound all night that kept waking us up. The room overall had a neglected look.

I liked the big refrigerator in the room. I didn't like the bed.

Look, it’s Motel 6. We had lower expectations going in, however the room looks very well-worn, tiny towels, thin sheets with no comfortable, no breakfast, and this Motel 6 is right next to a freeway and we were put on the freeway side. So noisy. No elevator and the stairs made me nervous. Still, it was one night and we got through it fine.

Floors were sticky. Bathtub paint peeled off and no water pressure. No door seal, and top lock was broken off. The humidity leaks into the room.

We were meeting family staying at Legoland & motel was within easy walk distance with many eating options around it. Our room had large crack in tub wall so does need renovating but quite adequate for this trip.

There wasn’t any thing necessarily dirty, but the condition of everything was subpar. They use LED light strips that are peeling from behind the beds. The TV had to scratch through the screen The Paul in the shower had black mold on it. All the printer was shipped and scratched.

Although next to the freeway, it’s surprisingly quiet. Room is spacious and has what is necessary. Beds are comfortable and the room appeared clean upon entering. Exactly what i needed for a one night stay before a day at Legoland. I have a toddler and felt safe.

Very basic room. No shampoo or conditioner. Crowded parking. Dated interior.

I didn’t like the room I got the 2nd night. Noisy AC and a poor bathroom condition.

Decent hotel for an overnight stay. TV didn’t work. The room smelled a little funny until we ran the air conditioning and got air movement. Beds were comfortable and the shower was good.

Bed was as hard as a rock

Wait for customer service was 90 minutes. Literally sitting on the floor. Manager was irate before I even approached him.

I didn’t get to stay! There was a mix up in my booking. The name of my reservation didn’t match the name on my credit card, so I wasn’t allowed to check in. I tried to explain. I called each the hotel AND hotels.com several times each to get it straightened out but the hotel staff was incredibly rude, didn’t allow me to talk to explain, and then they denied my cancelation. How is it possibly they wouldn’t allow me to check in because of the name mix up, yet it wasn’t mixed up enough to NOT charge my credit card. I was billed for a night I wasn’t allowed to check in for. Absolutely unprofessional!

The room was excellent and Scott that works up front was more than welcoming of all of our needs we thank you

Waited over 30mins for the clerk to come to check us in at 7. About 4 other families needed to check in at that time as well so we sat in the lobby patiently waiting so we could check in. I had to keep my spouse and our 2 month old child in the car until they returned. I just feel someone should be at the office at least until 9 or 10pm so families aren’t forced to wait. And upon return they don’t even offer empathy to the families waiting as you could easily tell we were bothered by the wait. Other than that, the check in process was speedy and easy, rooms were clean and comfortable

The new to me front desk staff are friendly and nice. A male with well kept longer brown hair wears his motel 6 shirt and name badge has checked us in before. He explained concisely how the reservation & confirmation works when two people with two beds check into a room using a third party. He has great patience. Thanks! The young lady last night I commented on her nice stylish eyeglasses was very efficient and gets 5 stars out of 5 stars. She’s the best!

I arrived early and the staff was very accommodating with allowing me an early check in. The room was clean and comfortable. I will stay there again.

Motel 6 could not find our reservation through hotels.com. Rather than trying to help us, they made it our problem and we had to contact hotels.com and try to work it out. Omar called the hotel and accepted that the Manager (Gary) could not find our reservation and left us with the choice to rebook somewhere else or get a refund. We were traveling with someone else so staying elsewhere wasn’t an option. Celeste (front desk) asked for Omar to call back but he said he was busy and couldn’t call again. Gary eventually agreed to honor the reservation at the same rate and we got a room. Once we got to the room the bed was horrible and the sheets had stains on them! The towels were so thin they barely dried your hands! I highly recommend finding another place to stay and booking directly with the hotel. Hotels.com was not helpful and did not offer much customer support

Room was clean. Daily service great. But had a strong tobacco smell every time our a/c came on due to a neighboring guest smoking continuously outside of her room while sitting on her room's a/c unit. Also had a daily issue with our room key card. Upon returning to the hotel at 8pm on 6/20 our card wouldnt open our room door. I went to the office and waited 30 minutes for the employee to return from break! Not the employee's fault but additional coverage would have been nice. I was one of 3 guests waiting for her to return...we all needed new room key cards.

The motel is right next to the highway, so the noise is constant and very loud. The staff service is terrible—three times I was given the wrong key card that couldn’t open my room, and check-in took me 45 minutes from 6 pm to 7 pm. Unless you’re extremely wealthy and just looking to donate money to a terrible motel, stay away.

Terrible customer service! The receptionist was rude and aggressive! I did not recommended this Motel 6 at all! I booked a room online and when we get there we were not allowed to park on the hotel premises because we had a truck and a car trailer. Fortunately, Hotels.com was able to help us to get the refund. The refund is on process right now.

Close to freeway

Overall good. Just freeway noise.

Close to the beach

Motel 6 Carlsbad East is a reliable motel to stay at conveniently located near a variety of restaurants, Carlsbad Outlet Stores, the Flower Fields, the Beach and Lego Land at an affordable price. I recommend the motel for it's location and value.

clean, friendly staff, great location, easy parking, pet friendly with big grass area, good neighborhood, quiet even tho it is by the freeway

Close by to Legoland and outlets. Clean, comfortable place to stay overnight. We come here once a month to use our Legoland passes and then spend the next day in San Diego before heading back home to LA

Close to walking distance to South Carlsbad beach. Close to Bressi Ranch shopping center off Palomar Airport road. Good value. Like getting an extra star for free. Friendly staff that try hard to accommodate you. Fast check-in and friendly staff. Close to "old" Carlsbad Village with cozy shops and dining. Convenient location that's easy to find.

Convenience close to that. freeway?

This was such a great stay !! Close to lots of eating establishments and close walking distance to Legoland .. was uphill walking but downhill back !! Saved $35 parking

Nothing great other than the location. Right next to Costco and Legoland. Tons of restaurants nearby. Surprisingly the pool was clean and a small family actually swam in it when we were there. It was inconvenient to borrow the hairdryer by swapping your ID at the front desk. We only borrowed one time not worth borrowing again. Walls were thin, loud running water from other side and people talking out front late in the evening. Would stay again because the location is just that good.

room is clean. coffee is in the lobby. staff is helpful and friendly and always available. close for walking and driving to shopping and food

Very convenient to shopping and food.

I stayed there for one night midweek. It is exactly what you can expect at a Motel 6. A simple wallet friendly place to sleep while travelling. It is an old 2 storey structure. There is plenty of free parking. There is a Costco and plenty of restaurants close by. The room was clean and the mattress was comfortable. There was a microwave and mini-fridge in the room. Coffee is complementary in the mornings. Check-in was quick and easy and the receptionist was pleasant.

This place was pretty well kept compared to other motels we stayed at before, felt clean in the office and the room. The staff were definitely friendly, however took a while for requested services. If you need extra towels, just go to the front office and ask there to save time, they will give it to you if you go in.Overall, my family and i had a well kept room, so i didnt have issues. Still a good stay, super close to the windmill food hall, shopping outlet, and legoland! Super convenient and gas saving! I would definitly recommend.

Staff is friendly, helpful, and responsive. Motel is clean and safe---and the rooms are cleaner than other comparable options. Around the motel you have multiple dining and shopping options. Easy access to beach and surrounding area.
