Quality Inn

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 27 Aug 2011 rated 10 out of 10.

It is so hard to travel affordably as a family these days, this hotel was the least expensive and it absolutely surpassed our expectations as a 2 star hotel. It is so nice to find nice hotel accommodations that we can afford as a family.

Positives: Great rooms, excellent breakfast, and very affordable for a family!

Negatives: The pool was way too cold.

Very bad experience. I was with my child and wife and first they allocated smoking room. Then they exchanged that with a wheelchair accessible room so room size was so small.

Positives: Free Internet. Hotel Lobby.

Negatives: Everything other that hotel lobby.

This was a nice hotel. We stayed there with our two young children. The rooms were clean and hotel was kept up nice. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Hotel next to nice shopping center, highway 5, and beach. I would definitely recommend this hotel especially those who are looking for nice affordable family hotel. Pool is nice too.

Positives: Pleasant, next to good restaurants, beach, nice area, close to highway.

Negatives: Continental breakfast could have offered more.

Found food under bed. it was there all week. assistant manager seemed disinterested, otherwise experience was fine, nice area, etc.

Positives: Good location, price was good.

Negatives: Food was a mixture of items that did not necessarily go together, but tasted fine.

Rooms need repair and renovation. Staff needs customer service training. Pool was good.

Positives: Location and price.

Negatives: Small rooms and falling apart.

Breakfast except for fruit in-eatable. Extremely noisy. Children running halls after 10pm. Front desk help acted as if they were doing us a favor by providing a room. They said they had no rooms. I had already confirmed via phone the previous night. Maid service left windows open, so personal items are not secure. Furniture wood in need of repair. Bathroom moldy and broken tiles and grout poor. Bath door does not close properly, when closed you can still see in or out through side. Would never stay there again.

Positives: It had hot water.

Negatives: Furnishings bleak, wood furniture in need of repair, molding bathroom, bath door can see through side, food uneatable.

It was very disappointing. The breakfast was hockey puck eggs you put in to aster, we looked at a wall, nothing by the bed to put a book or cup, no light at bed, again mildew in bath and broken tiles, refrigerator never worked. Water went on floor when you tested for heat with hand. Generally it was a cheap hotel.

Positives: There is not any. It was a good room.

Negatives: Noisy, needs paint, ran out of tissues and never replaced, mildew in bath, cracked tile.

Good place for vacation.

Positives: Breakfast.

Negatives: The women who works on the day shift on front desk is not friendly.

One of the 2 bedspreads had unidentified stains dried on them. I requested twice to have this changed and it was never done. Very noisy. Freeway traffic not bad but walls were paper thin and I could hear everything happening in adjacent rooms as well as every noise in the parking lot (which was right outside my door). Bathroom light was attached to vent fan - you couldn't turn just the light on so it was always quite noisy. I was put in a handicapped room and the shower head was a hand-held on a hose that was mounted near the faucet - I could not stand and relax in the shower - I had to hold the hose over my head. On 3 occasions, the door to my room did not lock behind me when I closed it to leave. I had to call and have security come on each occasion, delaying my appointments for the day. When calling the front desk, it took numerous rings before anyone answered - on 2 occasions, the phone rang so many times it just disconnected and I had to call back again. Pool water was dirty. Rooms very dated/carpet stained. Breakfast area is tiny and always had long lines - nowhere to sit and eat. Would not recommend this hotel or stay here again. Only plus was it was a short walk to the beach and there was a grocery store and restaurants across the street.

Positives: Easy to get to/right off of the freeway.

Negatives: Not secure, dirty.

Family friendly but old. On the wall in our room is a broken mirror. Poor lighting in the room. Just old. Needs an updated look.

Positives: Close to my event.

Negatives: Rooms were small and old.

Nice and quite place, friendly and helpful staff. Great location, close to the beach & restaurant/bars.

Positives: Staff service. Good location.

Negatives: Breakfast area was totally full, people waiting to have a seat. A plan B on this area during weekends would be good.

This hotel is fine if you just need a place to sleep and are not expecting to stay too long. It is within walking distance to a beautiful beach and a 5 minute drive to Lego land. The free continental breakfast is a great cost saver when traveling with multiple children. It is not, however, a comfortable hotel.

Positives: Walking distance to beach and very close to Lego land.

Negatives: Floor was bumpy, staff was indifferent, did not feel clean.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 10 Jun 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

It is what it is, low priced and mostly clean, needs a remodel, soon staff were ok.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Nothing in particular, just seems pretty old and has an old smell.

Walking distance to beach and small shopping center. Quiet rooms located on the west side of the hotel. Excellent access to highway 5. Ample parking. Continental breakfast not good for people watching their caloric or fat intake. Wireless internet not accessible from rooms on the West side of the hotel.

Positives: Cleaning staff did not enter room when Do not disturb sign was posted and I appreciated that. Location was very good to the highway.

Negatives: Continental breakfast was high in fat and carbohydrates. Coffee was bad tasting.

Suitable for an economy hotel in Carlsbad. However, if you want to spend time in San Diego (Gas lamp quarter, Old Town, Zoo, La Jolla, Coronado, Wild Animal Kingdom, Sea World, etc) be prepared to spend at least 30 minutes in travel time (and pay for gasoline). It is convenient to the flower fields and Lego Land. Staff did not do a great job cleaning (there was a dirty hair holder on the hall floor for days), the breakfast was terrible (rubbery hard boiled eggs, broken toaster, not enough seating, crowded buffet, little choices). Maintenance came quickly to unstuffy a toilet, but no one fixed the AC/fan, and we had to switch rooms 12 hours after first alerting the front desk. There was a mini fridge, microwave and coffee machine in the room, and a grocery store nearby. Easy access to the freeway.

Positives: There was a washer/dryer.

Negatives: They didn't fix A/C-fan. I came back 12 hours later, to find nothing done. They did, however, let me switch rooms.

This hotel was convenient to I-5, room was clean, bed was comfortable and even though I was on the side toward the interstate, it was very quiet. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Positives: Friendly staff.

Negatives: Do not have any complaints.

Short walking distance to a lovely beach. Shopping center nearby with fast food, rite aid and Ralph's, Calvary chapel church. South Carlsbad location; need to travel to get to Carlsbad town center.

Positives: Easy walking distance to the beach and grocery store.

Negatives: Complimentary continental breakfast skimpy.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 03 Jun 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

Quality of service was excellent, rooms big, the beds a little uncomfortable, great location. Fantastic for the price.

Positives: Breakfast was good!

Negatives: The beds were not very comfortable!

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 01 Nov 2006 rated 2 out of 10.

The room smelled musty, the mattresses were old and worn out, pool was good, no hot tub (in Carlsbad, CA!) Pool furniture old, dirty and cheap. The personnel were friendly, helpful and trying, the issue is most likely the declining brands of "Choice Hotels Int'l" and a greedy local ownership of this particular property. Not the first our negative experience with this brand. Will stick with Marriott.

Positives: It used to be a good brand (15 years ago).

Negatives: The brand is going down the drain.

Hotel staff was unable to forward calls to room and our packages were returned to sender. I have stayed at a lot of hotels and this is my first bad review.

Positives: Freeway location.

Negatives: Hotel staff was very incompetent.
