Walking distance to beach and restaurants. But with old stained towels and sheets. Next to noisy busy street, loud ac unit and ice machine. ##### wilson Stayed 1 night in Mar 2026 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Bill Mar 29, 2026 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness Staff was nice, property was near beach. Shower was nice and hot. The beds were noisy as the box springs were audible from outside. The blanket had what may have been cigarette burns. All towels and bed sheets looked like it had been used to detail a Mac truck engine. We can hear the adjacent room guest breathing. ##### Bill Stayed 1 night in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Dec 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Nice room, friendly staff! ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger Dec 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Great hotel service and room ##### Roger Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexei Feb 16, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The room was clean.

And can't beat the location! Walking distance to beach, shopping, and best restaurants in Carlsbad! Super friendly staff and attentive housekeeping. ##### Jessa Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie Mar 26, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The people who run the Scandia are very nice. It is quiet and comfortable and the housekeeping ladies are wonderful. It is in a unique location that feels special. You hear the chimes of the Army/Navy Academy and an occasional freight train. If you are respectful of your neighbors and the property you will have a peaceful stay at Scandia. You can walk to the pretty parks nearby or to the Farmer’s Market on Wednesday in the Downtown. For me, I love the serenity here and it is fun to meet and talk to other nice people staying here. The shower is spacious and nice and I love the decent-sized refrigerator. The room has everything you need and I have slept very well here. The parking is also very nice close to your room. I have been very happy here. My mother is getting a lung transplant which is stressful but the people here and sense of community this motel projects has made it a lot lighter for me. At the end of the day driving to and from Scripps La Jolla I look forward to coming back to Scandia to relax, open the windows and enjoy fresh ocean air and a plush comfortable room. This has been one of the most memorable places I’ve ever stayed simply because of the staff and that it is not your typical motel. It has charm. ##### Jamie Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger Dec 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Good service ##### Roger Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### david Nov 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Friendy and courteous staff.

This is a motel that has good size rooms, nice tv, microwave, table and refrigerator. Condition is a bit worn but acceptable for the price paid. The Carlsbad train station is very close so there is noise from passing trains sometimes loud at night. ##### john Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### David Jan 14, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Always helpful staff and improvements not always are improvements; my room had LED ceiling light and none at bedside or desk side made room lighting terrible! And remove door to bathroom and replace with curtain. What a pain the butt door configuration. Otherwise, great location, clean grounds and room! ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Razvan Oct 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great location. Basic amenities but fairly priced and clean. Staff is helpful and friendly. Stayed twice at Scandia and I will comeback.
