We had to find a motel on short notice that could supply eight rooms for our family who gathered for our mother’s funeral. Motel 6 in downtown Carlsbad was the only one that could accommodate our needs on the Memorial Day weekend, other than the La Costa Resort, which was in the $350 range per night. We looked at the... more

Carlsbad village has some great restaurants, some nightlife and a lovely beach and ocean front path. For a no-frills escape to the beach, carlsbad has been a logical choice. This is a typical Motel 6, bare bones but clean enough. I've stayed here many times over the last 5 years, and it could use a remodel. It's really close to... more

Not scenic, but you're within a half mile of the beach and downtown Carlsbad Village, which has some nice shops and restaurants.

Coming from the UK where you have to pay premium for cleanliness and quality, I was really impressed by both standards considering the price of this place. Everything was clean, serviceable, modern and the location was excellent for getting... more

This Motel 6 was close to where our 90year-old brother is in assisted living. We flew from MN to visit him and wanted something nearby so we could walk if we had to, and settled on this nice-looking little motel near the public library and a shopping district.With our senior discount, we had two double beds, a clean bathroom, and... more
