The freeway noise was a big downside. It was expensive, especially when you consider Motel 6 got its name for being $6/night. The management was not very friendly either. There was no breakfast or even a coffee maker in the room. I had to ask for shampoo. They don't supply anything but two tiny bars of soap.

Nicest Motel 6 I have stayed at. It was obviously upgraded in the recent past. It was clean, well lit with good amenities.

Curtains didn't keep the night light out, they could be hung a bit lower or get longer curtains.

This was hands down the best Motel 6 we have ever stayed at. Clean, comfortable, room cleaned and towels refreshed every day of our stay. Friendly, helpful staff.

The bed was really uncomfortable.

You’re paying a lot for location here. No frills, but clean. The bed was sunken on one side. I like the laminate floor instead of carpet. I asked to stay a 3rd night and despite being booked online, he was able to accommodate. Definitely stay here if you plan on doing a lot of sightseeing.

The location and easy contact

There are always things that one can control and others that one cannot control. It would've been great if coffee was available from 6:00 a.m. on. I had to go out to Circle K to get coffee because I was up early, and there wasn't a coffee maker in the room. Also, the motel is right next to I-5, which is continuously noisy.

The staff at this Motel 6 were friendly and experienced. The location near Carlsbad Village was great. The room was very clean. Having a fridge and microwave was helpful.

No complaints.

Centrally located. Close to the beach and family we were visiting. No hassles with pet check-in and stay. Clean! Big shower. Great hot water. Comfy bed! Affordable! We will definitely be back!

Room was clean, the bathroom had Delta fixtures, and granite countertop. I liked that they had a nice tub. The only thing that I would improve on is to mention in the website that no shampoo or conditioner is provided. (I would have brought my own.) Walking distance to a restaurant pie shop. Only complaint was that it was a bit noisy with children, pets and families and I-5 is about 50 yards away.

Room lighting. Cam lights were really bright. No bed side lamps.

The bathroom smelled like urine. I had air freshener that I sprayed at the base of the toilet but the odor persisted. Also, the shower curtain smelled moldy.

Breakfast not available. Only coffee.

$250 per night is a very high price for a very basic budget hotel even during high season

Very clean comfortable room exactly what you would want from a budget Motel 6. But the soap is small sliver, best to buy a bar at a local convenience store

$250 a night is really a high price for a budget hotel even during the highest tourist season

Very basic but clean and exactly what you would expect from a Motel 6. They're slivers of soap are very small, you might want to just buy your own at a convenience store.

No coffee in the room. I get up early and had to wait til 0700.

Friendly helpful staff. Housekeepers were great

As mentioned by others, highway noise is definitely a factor but it was more like white noise so it didn’t bother me. Light sleepers may want to consider before booking.

Convenient location, walkable to a grocery store and a restaurant. Very clean. Kind staff.

Rooms were ok. Clean, bedding marginal

Grounds and pool were very nice.

Hotel is next to a pretty busy highway and the walls are not nearly thick enough to block out the noise, had to have the TV running every night. Couldn't find the elevator if there is one, had to carry large luggage up stairs, but this was probably just an oversight on my end.

Room was huge, lots of space to work with. Pet friendly, plenty of places to walk the dog and with doggy bags provided. Bed is super comfortable, especially at this price point. Plenty of parking outside also. Room service was super attentive, even organized our plushes and duvets for us. Everything was super clean.
