This was a good value stay.. I like how there is no pet fee. I got the room I wanted and it was clean. The only thing was it was over 100 degrees outside and their pool was closed due to needing to be inspected and it was like that for a while. My 3 year old was so disappointed.

Clean, quiet hotel. It was reasonably priced. Located on main strip in town, right next to go cart track.; but never heard any noise. Quick access to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Would stay there again.

We have just arrived here. It's a basic room. Not fancy dancy, but ok. The tv is nice and the beds are comfy.. I would say this is an excellent room for a couple.. We are crammed in here with 3 young children and its a bit cramped... I would say it fits the purpose but not for extended vacation... More

this motel 6 charges more than most other motel 6s- standard rate is around $63 a night. but for carlsbad, it's toward the low end of rates. there are several mom and pop-looking small motels along the same highway that might charge a similar or lower rate, but they might be more decrepit than this motel 6. the room size...

We stayed one night. The GM Neal was nice to work with over the phone for a reservation and also when we arrived. Check in went fine. Had to wait for a little while for our room while they were installing a new vanity sink and mirror. We had a king bed - it would be ok for a couple... More

This is about the most plain Jane room I've ever stayed in. The gal checking me in was a bit gruff.. but not great. Not really friendly but not really mean either... just plain Jane. The room did not have any frills.. .but the television and Internet worked. The bathroom light didn't work... but there was a light just outside... More

if you get a non smoking room, and you turn off the lights in the bathroom, you stay in a smoking room--because the ac is also on. They know the problem in the office, but they ignore it and react very unfriendly. all other is ok

If you're traveling and just want a place to sleep then this is good enough. Checkin was smooth and fast. Rooms were ok; just nothing fancy. Place was packed but it was very peaceful. I wouldn't have and reservations about staying again.

Reasonable rates, clean, good place for a cheap stay in Carlsbad. With most of the places to stay in Carlsbad running $100 or better a night. The motel 6 was a good value at $60 a night. There is really nothing special about this motel 6 but if you would like an downstairs room where you can park right outside... More

Traveling through Carlsbad, we needed a "pet friendly" hotel. The extent of this place being "pet friendly" is that they allow pets at all. There are NO grassy areas for walking dogs (hope your dog likes rocks and broken glass). The room was barely adequate, the bed was uncomfortable, the tub was dirty, the heat/ac unit was load (but not... More
