Studio 6 Carlsbad, CA

The place is dirty smells like urine cat piss dog piss totally disgusting. First room on a five nights stay as I walked in had a pile of puke beside a bed. Move to another room the AC didn't work had to leave the window open and listen to a train all night long. Tried to move us to another room and as I walked in it was filled with cat piss smell. As we moved to another room the bathroom sink drains so slow we would have to use the kitchenette sink. Was presented to the staff and nothing was ever done. I would not ever let anybody stay there if they ever asked me. In the back door to the whole building the lock is drilled out and the door is wide open 24 hours a day. It states there's a pool which has no water in it. It states it has a laundry room and all the machines are out of order. It states it as a workout room and hasn't been in order and all the machines are down for years. It states it as a buffet there is no Buffet there is no food. It's the honest truth and the owner should walk his property and close the doors until he fixes everything.

No hot water foe three days over New Years holiday. Management said boiler is broken and no one can come to look at it until jan 2. Offered a refund and to check us out. Many people like us had to stay. Not an option for us at thiis late stage of the holiday. Lots of dog owners that do not pick up dog feces so have to watch where you walk. Sheets and bedspreads stained. Hallways carppets not clean. Trashcans in hallways and outside overfilled. Smokers everywhere that leave their butts at entrance of hotel. Not a pleasant stay. Management knows about all of this and does not serm to care.

Under construction with no water from 7 AM to 11. Signs posted all over the place at 12 still no water.

The shower head was broken. We had to hold the handle up with one hand and try and shower. The floor in the shower was cracked and when you stepped on it rusty looking broken pieces came floating out. We asked for taels twice and never got them. The pool and spa was closed. Has been for 6 months and I was not given notice to that.

Pool out of service, ice machine out of service lights in room didn’t work homeless people in bushes around property. Asked for extra towels and never got any.

The staff was very kind and helpful but Motel 6/Studio 6 Carlsbad is not maintaining the property. Beds and pillows were uncomfortable, very old and lumpy. AC/Heater, some lights, phone, clock and TV didn't work. Pool hasn't worked for over 1 year. Kitchenette had no frying pan or spatula, also lacked the correct amount of dishes, cups, silverware and basic cooking supplies. The bathroom sink backed up and flooded the room, the water leaked to first level. All of the furniture was severely damaged and dirty, dead cockroaches and live ones were present. The sheets and duvet were thread barren and had holes. They ran out of blankets so we slept using our beach towels from home because we were cold. The following had to be requested and weren't in the room: paper towels, dish soap, sponge, Kleenex, shampoo and conditioner. Picture missing from room only the screws were left. Toilets don't flush well. They didn't sell snacks, water bottles or soda. Other guests stopped me in the hall, elevator, and parking lot to ask me how our room was and then shared the horrors of their rooms. Women talk!!!!!!!!!!!! The manager refunded $48 back to Expedia for us for the inconvenience and moved us to another room that wasn't flooded but it was as run down as the first room. LOCATION WAS PERFECT FOR LEGOLAND!!! But will never go to this hotel again. What a lost opportunity for the company.....diamond in the rough.

Advertised but no. Pool, exercise room, breakfast not open. Refrigerator non-op. Handspray for shower in handicap bath not working. Latch on outside door to outside broken - not secure. Stairway doors next to our room slammed loudly (closer broken). The noise made it hard to sleep until late.

Pool was green and closed. Hot tub was closed. Every piece of equipment in fitness center out of order. The two wash machines in the laundry room were out of order. Was told waiting on a part for the pool should be open any day. Looks like pool has been closed for years.

Bed was comfortable. The hotel is in need of a refurbish. Full size refrigerator was nice. Would not stay there again till they do the upgrades needed. Nice location. Pool was not open. Ac wasn’t working had to change rooms

The pool was missing 😒

Check in was fine. Hotel was filthy. Carpets were so dirty and rooms were musty. Couch was disgusting. I would not stay here again. I felt dirty being here. Saw a cockroach in the hallway.

This hotel was very filthy and smelled strongly of cat urine. The couch in our room was scratched up and really really dirty. There were no pillows on the beds, no soap or shampoo in the shower and the pool was empty with caution tape around it. I've stayed in some questionable places but this was by far the worst.

This place is disgusting. I have no idea how it's rated so high here. Roaches and spiders will meet you as you get into your room. Then you'll see how run down the furniture is. The pull out couch was covered in dog hair and toe nail clippings littered the floor like they don't knkw what a vacuum is. All the sheets were stained. Id never stay here again.

I made a last minute booking and I should have known better. This place overall looks promising when you see pictures, but the reality of the property is sad. We checked in, 4 people, after a long day at Legoland. Looking forward to taking showers but there was only 3 towels and 1 wash clothe. we called and requested more and we were told that they had just ran a load of towels and were waiting for them to dry. WHAT?!?! A hotel without towels?!? So we waited a bit and got nothing so we gave up and fell asleep, but not before we noticed bugs IN the fridge! Crawling around the kitchen and bathroom were roaches. There was also mildew or mold on the walls in the bathroom and tiles in the shower. I realize now that this was an extended stay hotel and most guests are probably used to these conditions. Sadly my kids were totally grossed out. I felt bad but didn’t have very many other options so we just dealt with it but boy did I learn a lesson…always take the time to look at reviews and do my homework on hotels.

The room was dirty. Hair in the sink and bathtub. Cigarette butts in the window track. Furniture in bad shape. Stains on the bed. Requested a room change. Front desk staff refused. Very unfriendly! drove 5 hours back home! I was not going to have my young children sleep in filth! This place ruined our vacation! I will be making a formal complaint to the county health dept. I took lots of pictures.

It was so gross, carpet was nasty and wet and damp and it stunk so bad. The smell of mold everywhere. The bed sheets made me itchy. The curtains were torn, the AC did not work!

Cockroaches were crawling all over the room

The place stunk like cat urine and the rooms were infested with roaches. The couch was shredded, worn, and stained to the point we wouldn’t even sit or put our things on it. The curtains had holes and tears. I would never go there again

The room was filthy, and there were literal roaches at night. The air conditioning also didn’t work so the room was a constant 75 and humid. No new towels or toiletries were provided and old towels from a previous stay were left in the room when we arrived. Overall the building was in a good location but was disgusting.

This is tbe most disgusting place i have stayed in years! When I walked in I thought it looked a little shady. Then I got to my room and was thinking it smelled extrememly clean! That was to hide that nasty smell when place has cockroaches crawling on EVERYTHING!! THIS PLACE SHOULD BE TORN DOWN! I couldnt even eat in the room for fear of cockroaches in my food. The whole experience was horrible, should at least get one nignt refunded. i should have canceled and checked out before it was too late to cancel my second night. I cant believe that this once beautiful hotel is a.cockroach infested garbage hole!

A/C in room did not work. bed sheets were paper thin. no trash bin in room.

This was by far the worst stay we had. As much as we liked how big the room is, it is sad to see that management has neglected this hotel. We stayed at the 3rd floor and as soon as we stepped out of the elevator, it was already musty. You cannot figure out the design of the carpet in the hall, if it is just dirty looking or just plain dirty. Our keys didn’t work the first time and we have to go back to the front desk to have it replaced. Only one key worked after replacing it. The room has that old, dirty carpet smell that we have to buy room spray to mask the scent. We saw baby cockroaches in the kitchen and the bathroom. We have to request for toiletries as there is none in the bathroom, except for 3 towels. We requested to remove the office chair as the arm rest are already peeling and our son might continue peeling it. The couch is already lopsided with a lot of stains. The room has a kitchen but has no pots and pans as shown in their website pictures. The microwave wasn’t working only to find out it was not even plugged in. The sliding door of the closet wasn’t even properly aligned to its tracks that we have to fix it cause it might fall on our 2 yr old son. On our last day, the hot water is not even working. Thank God we live just an hour and a half away and we don’t have any plans after checking out. With all this things, I do not recommend this hotel at all.

After we checked in we found th bed to be a ild saggy matress, full of roaches the phone was not hooked up si we had to use our cellular phone to ca the front desk and the view from the room was the noisy freeway and what looked like a junk yad behind the motel nasty palce

The rooms are spacious and set up really well. We had a kitchen, full size couch, king size bed and large walk in shower. The location was great and easy to get where you need to go.

The room waa fine overall. Not too many major complaints. The sink for the bathroom was a little clogged, the hallway to get to the room had a funky smell the further you walked down. No remote to the TV. Thwre was only 1 coffee and 1 augar in the room. The room was pretty clean and everyrhing worked. It was fine for sleeping and storing our things. Bonus was the full fridge and stove top. The vest part was being so close to the beach and Carlsbad village.

The rooms are quite large with a kitchenette and full size fridge. Large bathroom, walk-in shower. We plan to use this facility for our next trip.

For the money, it could not be beat. The carpeting needed some help, but the kitchen was very handy, and a walk-in shower is hard to find. The location was terrific. I did not check out the pool, but it appeared to be nice as I walked by.

The primary thing I liked about the property was the location as it was convenient for the reason for my stay. However, during our stay the AC did not work, so we had to have the window open which was a negative since there was the train tracks right behind the hotel and there was construction occurring during our stay. The were stains on the bedroom lamp and wall and the bathroom could have been cleaner. There also seemed to be minimal hot water available, it would be hot in the beginning but quickly change to luke warm after a couple minutes. The front desk staff and cleaning woman were very friendly though.

Bed was comfortable. The hotel is in need of a refurbish. Full size refrigerator was nice. Would not stay there again till they do the upgrades needed. Nice location. Pool was not open. Ac wasn’t working had to change rooms

withoverall beds were comfortable room was clean shower very strong pressure

The staff is always very friendly and very helpful Definitely going there again

I was in the room all of five minutes before deciding I wasn’t going to stay there. The sheets were dirty, it looked like no one had clean the place in a while, and the entire room was pretty gross. When I went down to the front desk, they told me they would be unable to process my refund until a manager was on duty, which was not going to be until the next day. I’m still waiting to hear back on my refund, but I’m so glad I stayed somewhere else instead.

If you traveling for work, I will not recommend this place. When I arrive and room was given, the bedsheets were not change, the stove was on which is fire hazard, I asked the front desk guy, he was nice to change me into a different room. Which the room also was missing clean sheets and garbage disposal. Second day of staying I came out of the shower and kill two roaches that were near the bathroom, that drew the line and decided to leave. The move and last minute reservation cost me a lot. Called the customer service did not do anything about it. TERRIBLE TERRIBLE !

There were bugs in the room we rented. I mentioned this to front staff during our stay and was told they didn‘t have any other rooms right now but they would notify the manager and he would give me a call. I never received a call during my stay. I mentioned this again when I checked out and was told that they would notify the manager and he would give me a call in the morning. I never received a call. I stayed at this hotel three times now and did not have any issues prior to this stay. I’m very disappointed that I never even received one phone call.

Dirty, dingy and graphetti around back door of property, blood stains on second floor emergency exit, poor check in at reception, man not polite

Excellent Stay . STAFF is Amazing

The effort the staff made for us with an extended stay that potentially kept us from having to have an interruption on our reservation was a total blessing and we sincerely appreciated their extra efforts to accommodate our needs & our schedule

Nice and safe area. Customer service very nice But, i had a hard time with being such a nice property why the mold in the bathroom ceiling and corner and crack in the shower,floor , old chipped furniture, dead ants in drinking cups and refrigerator. I dont understand with such a nice property.

The rooms were clean and great customer service.

The staff was very kind and attentive, which I truly appreciate. However, the hotel itself left much to be desired. There was a bad smell, the furniture was old, the carpet was dirty, and I had to call to get the sink fixed because it was clogged. I also saw a cockroach during my stay. Unfortunately, even though the staff was excellent, I wouldn’t return due to the condition of the place.

Easy freeway access, close to the beach! Restaurants and shopping close also safe quiet hotel.

Great location just a short drive to the downtown, even shorter to the beach.

A mile away from Lego land . And great places to eat near by .

The rooms are spacious and set up really well. We had a kitchen, full size couch, king size bed and large walk in shower. The location was great and easy to get where you need to go.

Nice staff and close to Legoland and the Flower Fields.

Just loud, not clean and you can hear the train

Had a great time here. Beach is down the street. Bars and food very close by. Shopping across the street. Staff was great.

It is in a business commercial area. Not able to walk to anything recreational.

Expedia listed there was free breakfast but there was none. The jacuzzi was dry. People lived at the hotel and bad mouthed the property.

Do NOT stay at this hotel. Absolute dump!!! Broken sink faucet (handle literally fell off) , mold in the bathroom walls, door with water damage, very dirty dishes in the cabinet, trash on the carpet in every hallway, no room cleaning, pool is closed indefinitely, fitness room closed for no reason, pictures show breakfast but there is no food offered whatsoever, paid for a suite & was given a standard room, dogs in the hotel rooms barking constantly, stained sheets, housekeeping kept pestering when we were leaving when I had requested late check out & was approved by front desk, no dish soap provided,...I could keep going but you get the point. Not worth any amount to stay here

It’s a motel 6 Pros: -Check in was fast and easy -10 minute walk to the beach. -Staff was cool. -AC worked Cons: -Had the insert the key card multiple times to get the door to open. -Pool and spa were out of service, no notices. -Laundry room was out of service, no notices. -Roaches in the kitchen. -Dead bugs stuck to inner door frame of the bathroom. ¯\_(⊙︿⊙)_/¯ -Mold on the bathroom walls. -Room furniture stain and gross. -Hallways have a heavy smell of wet carpet or something wet. Besides its location, there’s nothing this motel has to offer. Got a room for 4 days for under $800. On Expedia it was labeled as a “Suite 6”with convincing pictures of the property fully operational..Staff was cool as they were doing their jobs. But it seems management is lacking or just doesn’t give a dam about the property.

The property is very conveniently located in Carlsbad California. It seems to be under remodel but never saw anyone working on the remodel. I would love to get my hands on the remodeling as the rooms themselves were very well designed, with a nice a floorplan and working kitchen, bathroom, and living area. Perfect for those who don't want to eat out every meal, which these days has become a very pricey option. However not much in the way of cooking equipment and untensils. You kinda get the feeling they really don't want you to cook too much. Full size fridge and even a dishwasher that looks like its been barely used. We kinda like places like this when we travel. Just needed to be better staffed and equipped with some more hotel essentials.. like an extra blanket that we requested and couldn't get cause they ran out.

The lack of cleanliness of the room and hotel, made it difficult to enjoy our stay. Pool was out of service. Rooms were well equipped with kitchenware and appliances. Room also came with a sofa bed. Staff was friendly.

There was no included breakfast for the past two years even though it was advertised on the website and on Google. Real dealbreaker as it was quiet expensive for a Motel 6 basically

Paid almost $300 for 2 night stay. (5/23 thru 5/25). Pool and fitness center were down/ out of order. Market was not available so we had to leave the premises for any food or snacks or water we needed. Got a room with a kitchenette, had 2 spoons and a couple glasses for coffee/ tea, but no coffee maker to be found. Bed was comfy but sheets looked questionable. There was hair in the shower from previous people. Wouldn’t stay here again for the price.

The room waa fine overall. Not too many major complaints. The sink for the bathroom was a little clogged, the hallway to get to the room had a funky smell the further you walked down. No remote to the TV. Thwre was only 1 coffee and 1 augar in the room. The room was pretty clean and everyrhing worked. It was fine for sleeping and storing our things. Bonus was the full fridge and stove top. The vest part was being so close to the beach and Carlsbad village.

This hotel property is — and has been for some time — a rapid degradation of its entire operation. The swimming pool that is widely displayed on the promotional websites has not been operational for a very long time, and the breakfast items supposedly included in your stay, do not exist. Furthermore, the carpeting throughout the property is so filthy and rancid, you dare not be barefooted, do to the strong possibility of contracting a transferable fungus or disease. The guest rooms are not cleaned and/or maintained properly, and be aware, if you are planning on utilizing any dish, pan, or utensil in the “food prep area,” be sure to pre-wash before using, they still have the residue from the previous guest’s meal.
