Disliked: Cleanliness
The floors in bathroom were dirty the place was big and had what we needed to stop for the night. Wish it had Netflix thou.
This hotel is super clean & nice! The only downside is for the breakfast.. the only protean was boiled eggs. Lots of fruit, bread choices & cereals. Would consider if more of a continental INSTEAD of full.
Booked this hotel because reviews were good. We did not experience what the reviews said. Room was worn out & dirty. Overall hotel looked worn out. Carlsbad is a working town so lots of contractors from oil & gas fields using all the hotels hard.
