There was food, crumbs and trash everywhere. There was no shampoo either. The dispenser was empty as if someone hadn’t gone into that room for an extended period of time. The bathroom was the worst. The couch and the ottoman/table had stains all over it. It appears no one cleaned the room before we checked in. The WiFi also wasn’t working and front desk said all they could do was call in and report to IT. I don’t recommend this place at all and will never stay here again. So gross. ##### Elisa Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Curtis Aug 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice clean hotel on the outskirts of Carlsbad.
