Great location. It’s literally 5-6 min walks to the beach. It’s slightly away from the village (9-10 min walk) which I liked. I don’t want to be in the middle of busy streets. Room was clean and I had no problems with stuff. Will stay there again !!

My room was actually disgusting. Silverfish running around in the room, cigarette burns in the sheets, dirt and mold on the walls and ceilings, dog fur in the beds. We ended up leaving an hour into checking in because it was just genuinely so awful.

It’s an older place but that’s obvious. I found the ownership/staff friendly and polite. The room is clean as is the bathroom. The location is primo! It’s right on the cusp of Oceanside and Carlsbad so choose north or south and ur in paradise! Price is great but remember , u pay for the location, it’s not fancy. Also, aside from a train horn every few hours my stay was quiet and drama free. I heard its reputation for police visits but I didn’t experience that at all.
