Although all properties are expensive in this area, this one was a great value for the price, especially because of the pool and the air conditioner in the room. Both of those were great!

Good times at the Carlsbad Inn

The hotel was great, pool was well maintained and clean, we were on motorcycles and owners offered us towels (old ones of course) so we could shine them up after a long ride. I noticed an array of workers (oil field related) but every one was respectful and personable (I believe the hotel staff reflected that) and quiet hours were respected. I would not hesitate to bring wife and kids there, a very safe environment.

Standard roadside motel, reasonably comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and the excellent ice machine on the very hot day we were there. Playground is probably ready to be torn down, seemed a bit unsafe.

We asked a few times to repair the toilet because it did not stop running. It was never fixed. The towels were small and thin. And only one small bar of soap and one shampoo were provided. We had to ask for more. I was disappointed.

Good deal for the money.

Rooms are dated but clean. You can hear traffic noise well so if you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs. The pool looked great but we didn’t get a chance to use it.

This property was good for the price. It was dated, so some things weren't perfect, like the air conditioner was a bit loud, the bathroom could use new caulking in places and the carpet is getting tired. But, it was pretty clean and did the trick for a few, unplanned nights in a hotel. (we were supposed to go camping.)

Not the best place and will never stay here again!

I will never stay here again!! I booked and paid for a queen bed and he gave me a room with 2 double beds. I asked him to honor my reservation and he said too bad - things happen. The street noise is horrible so don't expect a quiet night sleep!

Avoid at ALL Costs

I have stayed in 100s of hotels/motels in the USA and Europe over the past 40 years and this one gets the award for being the worst. I paid for 2 nights but left after 1 miserable sleepless night. The motel is next to an intersection and the road noise was overwhelming ALL night long (and I use earplugs but they were useless). Half of this run down, totally outdated motel was occupied by oil and gas workers who all noisily left between 5 to 6 am. Just a plain miserable excuse for lodging.
