"Let's be honest kids it's rated a two-star hotel and it's called motel 6. It used to be $6 to stay here in 1962, but you know what? The Carlsbad Motel 6 Beach motel is a great value. Walking distance to the beach, grocery store and restaurants. If you're looking for value and safety, it's a great place to stay. Also, it's pet friendly. We stayed here many times, and have had no issues."

"Overall this was a good stay. We stayed a week. Room was cleaned every day. All staff we encountered was nice. Our very antique microwave gave out and they replaced the same day we mentioned to them. I really appreciated that. Also very easy walk to the beach. One small issue is the walkway is peeling. This meant that we tracked in teeny bits of rust colored paint in our room. For most people not an issue however we have a baby who’s crawling and I didn’t love that he kept getting teeny bits...

"Nice and small motel tucked away behind a Korean all you can eat buffet. There are also several other restaurants nearby, such as Aladdin or Ma's House. Havana Grill is one of the few Cuban restaurants. Pets are welcome, unlike at Pleasant Inn next door or California Suites. There are some strange characters but keep in mind this is one of the most central locations to the entire city, and near businesses as well as excellent Asian food."
