"West Inn is always a priority for us when in Carlsbad. We like everything about it but the matress in the room assigned to us needs to be replaced. It has seen better days, it’s like a sinking boat. I thought they have changed the matresses since we saw a lot of new matresses last year in the covered Parking lot… maybe it’s still a work in progress. "
