You don't expect a lot from a hotel when you pay $70 a night however you also don't expect to be treated sub-humanly. We made a reservation after arriving in the area on a spur of the moment trip and as it was the first accommodation we found online so we booked it. BIG MISTAKE! We were put into a... more

We stay at this Motel 6 often for quick trips to San Diego. It's about 2-25 mins away from downtown SD, and very quiet, and out of the way. It is surrounded by a Ramada and a La Quinta. There is a Benihana (Japanese teppan yaki) right next door, for family fun dining. The coaster station is nearby (about two... more

Stayed for one night en-route to San Diego - decided to stop at Carlsbad to do a bit of shopping at the premium outlets and do some photography at the flower fields. This motel 6 is a little south of Carlsbad centre but only 3 mins away from the flower fields and the factory outlets. The room was small but... more

We stayed one night, and one night is all that I could have handled. Pros: Cheap rate Very safe neighborhood One block from restaurants Cons: Horrible bedding Loud (walls paper-thin) Needed to wear shower-shoes! more

Spent one night at this motel. I chose it for 3 reasons. 1: the price 2: the proximity to LegoLand (less than 10 min away) and 3: the previous reviews on trip advisor , which seemed to be more positive than the Ramada Limited, which I also contemplated staying at. This is most definitely a budget property. It was spartan,... more

My family of 5 (2 parents, 1 adult child, 2 younger children) stayed last week for 2 nights (Thu/Fri night) and everything was as expected for a budget motel. Bring your own shampoo and don't expect a lot of storage areas. However, the reservation was correct (we requested and received 2 adjoining rooms), we were checked in in a timely... more

I have stayed at this hotel several times in the past but found my last visit unacceptable. The hotel is not maintained, carpets are badly stained, as is concrete on walkways. Lots of loud drinking parties on weekends and through the summer. Looks like some people have made it their home as there is an umbrella table and several chairs... more

My husband and I stayed at the Motel 6 South for 3 nights, in March 2005. We had an immaculate clean, attractive room by the pool and were pleasantly surprised that altho the motel backs up to the freeway, once in the room, it was very quiet. The room was a little small but quite adequate. We had two very... more

We recently spent 2 weekend nights at this location in August and it was pretty good overall. First - you do get what you pay for. There really isn't anything special about this property but the price is right, especially when one considers the location. The rooms are plain and don't even come with a clock radio. They are clean,... more
