Motel 6 Carlsbad, CA - East
The location is very convenient, and safe. Our room was an accessible room with a roll in shower, refrigerator, bed and pillows were very comfortable. The only suggestions I would request to consider, is provide coffee and hot water through the day, and night, like other motel 6.

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla
Aside from its location, there’s NOTHING good about this place. At check-in already, the clerk, Sabrina, was curt and unpleasant. Her explanation was rushed, as if she had no time for the client. Then the room: Old, dilapidated, and of dubious cleanliness. The room safe didn’t work, I notified Sabrina ...
