Mostly good except for the Wifi

The motel is good value, and is only a short walk from the beach and town center. The beds were comfortable and we've had good experiences here before. For those reasons we were happy to overlook a few minor issues like no soap or shampoo, and the walls being not very well soundproofed. More annoying on this visit, and its main shortcoming, was the wifi which was insecure and intermittent. Also very slow at times, and didn't work at all for us nearly half the time. As long as the motel fixes that, we would gladly stay here again the next time we visit Carlsbad.

Fairly quiet aside from thin walls, felt safe, great parking and walkability to beach and restaurants. Nice front desk folks. Variable cleaning of rooms. Decent TV and nice hot shower. Thank you for the good, affordable stay.
