Post Time Inn

"Clean room. Nice staff."

Delightful 2-bedroom house with AC in sunny Carlsbad and river view.

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean, host was extremely helpful. The only recommendation would be to have a list with information about Wi-Fi passwords, and contact details. Since this place is pet friendly, I'd recommend securing the fence (bottom) to prevent pets from leaving the property."
