Scandia Motel

Clean, clean, clean. Beautiful floors, fresh paint, remodeled bathroom that had the largest most absorbent bath towel that I have ever seen in a budget motel. This is a small older motel that the rooms have been completely updated. The rooms are small, but they have crown molding and are darling. Walk down the block to Carlsbad village, few blocks to the beach, or drive a few blocks the other way to the freeway. The location could not be better. The staff are wonderful, from check in, to housekeeping, to checkout. If you stay anywhere else, you are mission out on a gem of a motel.

I had my own little apartment. Much more than “just a room” It had a full kitchen, which was a pleasant surprise. Also, it was upstairs and I had a lot of privacy which I enjoyed. Lots of lighting and the water in the shower was nice & hot. The room heater also got very warm.

Really like the new staff, they have been very attentive to my needs, even had gotten a studio when they filled up, live the upgrade at same cost for the room requested. They do best to accommodate. This hotel has been here as long as I can remember even as a teenager back in the 80's, it's definitely over 45 years old. So people need to keep that in mind. And it's coastal can't beat that. But the coast comes with Salt air, so rust will be present. It's perfect for me and convenient for work, freeway close and my hometown close. They meet demands and requests from everyone best as possible.

I liked the fast check-in. The room was nice and clean. You're able to park right outside your motel room. The room had 2 queen beds, a fridge, a microwave, plenty of towels, soap, shampoo, and tolietries. The bed linen and towels were very clean. Lastly, you're given a remote when you check in to watch TV. There's cable and HBO to watch.

Some people like the sound of trains. Some don’t. That’s an individual choice. They didn’t run too often to bother me, Otherwise, as my room was at the end, and quiet.
