Motel 6 Oceanside, CA

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, Friendly staff. Was also Per-Friendly!"

Lakehouse Resort

8/10 Good

"Overall a good place to stay but the furniture in the room looked a little dated. Our room wasn’t cleaned even though we left the housekeeping needed magnet displayed which also meant we didn’t get more toiletries or fresh towels. The pool areas were good and the hotel is located in a quiet residential area. In the beginning we had issues with tv channels not working that were fixed by a friendly maintenance man but the channels would still occasionally briefly not work. "

Carlsbad By The Sea Hotel

6/10 Okay

"I knew the hotel was close to the highway but wasn’t prepared for how loud the road noise was even in the room with the doors closed. We were told no other rooms were available, (and discovered our room phone was non-functional when trying to call the office). We also had loud neighbors with poor soundproofing between the rooms and a large group hanging out loudly in the courtyard at midnight. So, bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Book a pool view room as those are set further back from the highway. My kid enjoyed the pool, and the Windmill Food Hall was convenient next door. "
