Carlsbad Village

I had my doubts when I saw the motel due to its age but everything worked in the room as expected and the room and bed was comfortable. It’s just a couple of blocks from the village area so you can walk everywhere.

Precious Commodity Priced Just Right

The hotel staff was extremely accommodating, very friendly and made me feel welcomed. They are within walking distance from literally anything you could possibly want food and drink wise, including the beach. Very nice atmosphere, convenient dog and smoke park on the property. Not once did I catch second hand smoke from anyone, nice.

Motel Scandia, Carlsbad, CA

This is a small family owned motel. The rep was very friendly. There really are no amenities to speak of. The room was small but clean enough. The bed spread had a burn hole in it even tho it’s a non smoking facility. The queen size bed was ok but not great. The best part of this motel is its location. Walking distance to the beach and to old downtown Carlsbad. The downtown is very vibrant and entertaining. If you can walk a half mile on sidewalks you’re in it! The place is not bad for 100 bucks a night! I just had to remind myself this is a motel not a Marriott or a Hilton!

Need some TLC. Room and linen worn with holes in blankets. They did freshen up the linen and removed the trash. Nice people. Walking distance from beach and Village. Descent price.

I stay here every time I come to Carlsbad for work. You can count on a simple yet clean and comfortable room with easy access to the beach about a five minute walk and amazing restaurants about a 10 minute walk. This property is unique because as a family owned and operated motel they take pride in their property and offer an outstanding overnight experience at an affordable price.
Todd, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Convenient location that is close to the beach and local activities. Basic amenities, but great price comparatively! The room was cozy and I didn’t hear much noise or traffic. Walked to every planned destination for the weekend. I definitely recommend, and will stay another time.

Average Stay

We had a late check in and the clerk was completely disinterested in helping us. He didn't give us the Wi-Fi information, the TV didn't work and the beds were VERY hard.
