We booked this knowing full and well it was a small Motel property. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The rooms are small but very clean and come with everything you'll need for a weekend stay. 5min walk from beach and just down thebstreet from Downtown Carlsbad/Carlsbad Village. I will definitely be coming back and booking with them again. Thank you for the stay. You made our trip wonderful.
Rented 2 double bed room. It was perfect.

Great little motel near everything. Property is a little older, but the location is walking distance to many activities and restaurants. Even though they do not offer breakfast, it would be nice to have a coffee maker in the rooms. The family that owns the property are very nice and accommodating to requests.
