  We stayed in Room 54 which is on the second floor next to the "deck." We had a partial view of the ocean and we were near the breakfast room. This motel is a converted apartment building, so the layout is a bit "funky" (lots of stairs in unexpected places). The positives: This motel's location is fantastic. It is walking distance to the beach and downtown Carlsbad. It is a 10-minute walk to the train station. The free breakfast is delicious and greatly appreciated. You can eat inside the breakfast room or outside on the "deck" (ocean views in both locations ... see photo). The negatives: The tap water tastes disgusting. There is only ONE water-filling station on this property; it is inside the breakfast room which closes at 9:30 am daily. Small, bottled water is available in the lobby for $1.50 each. So, refill ALL your water bottles during breakfast if you don't want to run out! There is also a drinking fountain on the corner of State Street and Carlsbad Village Drive, about 0.50 mile away (near Blues & Shoes). The motel charges $23/night to park on the property. Parking fees are as annoying as "resort fees." Luckily, there is free parking on the street. If your room is near the second-floor "deck," be prepared for NOISE. A staff member FINALLY turned off the fire pit at 10:30 PM. I was afraid the large group of loud, cackling women were going to cackle all night long!

  I’m wrapping up my stay at the Best Western Plus in Carlsbad, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Andrew was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. The entire front desk staff was also incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was another highlight. It was delicious with plenty of options, and it was so nice not having to worry about one meal each day while on vacation. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be staying here again on future trips!

  The location is perfect if you are looking for a slower beach town, with shopping. From the hotel you can easily walk down to the beach, to get dinner or enjoy a drink. The rooms are older, but well maintained. The toilet/shower are in a room and across is the sink area. The hotel has a lot of stairs, and I witnessed several older people trip and nearly fall, so watch your step! There is an elevator to each floor, but there are still steps youll need to take. The outdoor seating areas are lovely! Nice, comfortable furniture, a fire pit and a great view. Bring a little lap blanket so you can be cozy in the evenings. The breakfast is standard, but in a lovely room. The staff were very kind! There isnt a parking lot, but you park on the first level of the hotel, under the rooms. The parking it tight, but doable! Overall it was a nice stay, with a great location!!
