South Carlsbad State Beach

The property is in a good location. It’s more like a motel than a hotel in that there are no hallways everything‘s outside. That’s not good or bad. It’s just the observation. The Property shows wear and tear, pretty dirty everywhere outside, especially stairwells. I might as well be walking up and down the steps in the hallways of the subway as dirty as they were. The parking is convenient and good for a hotel. Kitchen availabilities too limited, especially on the weekends. The doors had big gaps under them so we had spiders and bugs coming in on a regular basis. There’s one air conditioner in the wall along the sliding glass door and you have to keep that cranked to extremely cold just to cool the bathroom and the sink area. Overall, we dealt with it for three nights, but honestly, unless I don’t have any other choice, I’ll find elsewhere to stay.

Everything was excellent as advertised.

The house itself was beautiful and the view was amazing. However, we had some difficulty with the appliances as well as the power outlets. The toaster was inconsistent and would burn one toast and the other would be fine. We had to move the coffee pot and blender around to different power outlets to find one that worked consistently. I also felt like there was some false advertising when it came to the washer and dryer. They said they provided laundry detergent, which I assumed to mean that they had a washer and dryer. It literally meant that they provided laundry detergent, but the washer and dryer were out of order, so the laundry detergent didn't do me a lot of good. I felt that could be explicit in what is provided in the description. The team in the area was very responsive to all my questions and were very pleasant. Overall, this was a great place to stay.
