Motel 6 Carlsbad, CA - East
We accidentally booked a smoking room, they gave us some great spray and it worked pretty well. The coffee was good, the room was clean. For the price point I would stay here again.

West Inn & Suites
it is old building, needs some touches. We had troubles with thermostat, very hard to control. When we reserved this hotel it says ‘good breakfast, made to order’, not at all, worse than other hotel. Coffee was not good, no flavored creams.
