Across recent reviews of Post Time Inn, travelers note freshly renovated, comfortable rooms and a handy in-town location, but also report limited breakfast, spotty Wi-Fi/TV, and occasional cleanliness or maintenance lapses.
Service feedback ranges from friendly and helpful to disorganized, with reports of occupied or unready rooms and recurring key-card issues. Rooms are generally spacious and comfy, though some guests experienced loud HVAC or street noise. Parking can be tight, ice and laundry facilities vary in reliability, and hair dryers aren’t always provided. Overall, expect modern rooms at a budget property with variable service and amenities.

Friendly staff, good location although just off the strip. Clean with comfortable bed. You could see that they had recently did some updates. Finding it was a little challenging at first and parking was a little challenging depending on where your room was. Good restaurant options within walking distance.

The room was large and very comfortable. We took advantage of the free laundry😀. The free breakfast was not what we expected for a hot breakfast but was just microwaveable items…No fruit or cereal. Both ice machines were not working, but the attendant filled our cooler for us.

The front staff was kind & helpful. The room was clean, had everything, & working AC. Parking was kinda limited. The key to the room did not work so I needed to have the front staff help me unlock it with her keycard to enter each time I went out. If it wasn’t for that, I’d give it a 5/5.

The restroom in the room we rented was dirty (it had hairs) and the floor was not swept good. The breakfast area was very dirty and it had no variety of items. The juice drinks were all out of order. The place was dirty with dirty tables. The lady who was in the front desk smelled like she just had a joint. I don't know how else to describe my experience. I hope this hotel improves to others can have a better experience. Thank you.

Checkin was delayed until 7:30pm due to shortstaffing and no employees to clean rooms. When I opened the door, the room was not clean. The linens had been changed but there was food debris on the counter and coffee stains on the table. The outer comforter had stains as well. Very poor cleaning and hygeine. I checked the bed for bugs but did confirm new linens, thankfully. The kitchette was in working order which was good. The shower took 5 whole minutes to retrieve hot water (I almost thought it was cold water only and I'm glad I waited). Very limited parking/ arrival after 7pm probably means no parking available. There is no street parking as an alternative. Lights on motel's outside stay on all night and there are no blackout curtains. AC unit is loud. Probably not a good idea to stay here more than one night as a road stop and only if you really need a discount. Bed was comfy despite the light and noise. Will stay elsewhere when I drive back home.

Place looked good, updated motel however there was a smoke alarm bagged up and taped and never got an answer if I should remove it or not; I don’t know seemed kind of hazardous to me. Hdmi/tv didn’t work nor did the coffee maker, WiFi was so slow it was unusable and the fridge was set so warm to save money yet spoiled all of our food. Sheets were dirty when we arrived and housekeeping never stopped by to tidy up. or clean the sheets.

The room was recently upgraded and of good quality. When we checked in we were first given a room that other people were using. Our second room’s door wouldn’t open. Our third room worked out well, but a bit unnerving to work through multiple rooms. Breakfast was poorly stocked both mornings. We ate earlier in the breakfast time, so not sure what the issue was there. No room service between nights.

Room not ready at 3:00 check-in time. Returned to check in at 4:00 and were given key to an occupied room. There was no soap in the room and we were told the hotel was out of soap. They sent someone to the store to buy us a bar of soap. Returned to room at 8 Pm and still no soap. Tried to call front desk but the phone was dead. Picked up a bar of soap from front desk and told them our tv wasn't receiving any signal. They were going to send someone to fix it. Nobody ever showed up. The next morning we left the room for the day. Returned at 6 PM and the room hadn't been cleaned. Complimentary breakfast was worthless....they didn't even have any coffee going. Overall not a bad room, but the hotel is a hot mess.

While waiting I used the bathroom there was no paper in the stall, no soap in the dispenser. This place has a lot of potential but is very poorly run. ☹️ The 4 of us will not stay here again.

Do not stay here. I have stayed a few times through out the summer for work. My last 2 stays I have been double charged. Resolution does not come promptly. Both times I have paid on Hotels.com before my stay then once again charged for the same stay on my debit card, once during my stay and another the day after I have already checked out. I have receipts of payments made prior to my stay and I am continued to be double charged. This is such a disappointment and frustrating situation this hotel continues to put me in. Save yourself the frustration and DO NOT STAY HERE.

Check-in was a very confusing. The hotel had me checked in the previous day of my reservation, and someone was already in my room. However, I was accommodated with a room. Extending my stay was attempted by a staff member who obviously had no business behind the desk. Couldn’t answer any questions and only response was “That’s just how they do it.” Who is they? You’re at the desk! It was extremely inadequate. However, the room was good. Spacious somewhat clean. Cleaning staff wasn’t very thorough and inconsistent. I’d say overall 5/10.

Do not recommend. We showed up with a prepaid reservation to be told they were full. No rooms and no help to solve the problem. They wouldn't issue a refund on site. With no manager on duty, they took our name and the name of another they were turning away and said they maybe issue refunds the next day. Bad way to do business.

The restroom in the room we rented was dirty (it had hairs) and the floor was not swept good. The breakfast area was very dirty and it had no variety of items. The juice drinks were all out of order. The place was dirty with dirty tables. The lady who was in the front desk smelled like she just had a joint. I don't know how else to describe my experience. I hope this hotel improves to others can have a better experience. Thank you.

Stayed two nights for business. Chose this hotel because of the "hot breakfast" was advertised. Not only was there no hot breakfast, but there was nothing at all. Not even coffee was made either morning. There were some pre-toasted bread slices in ziplock bags that I guess you could eat. The room appeared clean and the shower/bathroom worked well. The electronics in the room strangely were all unplugged (lamps, TV, etc.) WiFi was simple to connect to, but WiFi was not connected to the internet, so it was worthless. Very noisy road noise is clearly heard in the rooms, as well as occasional shouting from walkers by. Would not stay here again.

A few things were off … no toilet paper holder, no soap dish in the shower, door stop was broken, tv was a challenge. To get working. The hot breakfast was some frozen stuff to microwave without instructions, and an empty coffee pot… we went to Macdonalds.

The rooms were nice, clean, and looked like they were recently updated. Location is good within walking distance to many restaurants. Receptionists were nice and friendly. 2 complaints: 1) The inn was advertised as having "free breakfast" but the breakfast left much to be desired. For example, there was cereal with no milk and a single package of store bought pancakes for everyone to share. 2) You can hear the cars with loud exhausts very clearly at night when they are racing down the streets.

The rooms were newly renovated and looked nice. Very poor internet connection and the breakfast was minimal. Fresh fruit would be a great offering.

This is a beautifully updated hotel. Friendly staff, soft bed. No skimp on towels. Breakfast included a waffle machine. Great deal for the price. Love the window coverings with a blackout shade.

It was ok. The property looks like it has been renovated in recent years and the rooms look nice. The breakfast was almost nothing, just a waffle maker, hostess mini muffins, instant oat packets, and some almost gone cheerios. They did have hot coffee though. Sheets on one of the beds looked unclean but other than that it was ok.

A very nice place to stay. No complaints! A real good Mexican Restaurant down the road. Breakfast had a few options with Waffles, bread, pastry, hot & cold cereal.

The room was dirty, bed sheets and pillows stained. The bathroom had not been cleaned from the previous people staying there, the sink area was covered in hair, facial hair, toothpaste, etc. The AC unit was quite loud. Breakfast was very poor.

It's one of the few motels in downtown Carlsbad and very convenient to where I was working. However, the carpet is room was very stained and the air conditioner made a great deal of noise all night. The breakfast selections were very limited.
