Terramar Hotels, Carlsbad

"There was a couple of cockroaches in the restroom. One being a pregnant one with the egg hanging off. Ran into a crevice in The floorboard. Room 269. There was also a couple of insects on the bed which were easy to spot because of the white sheets. "

"Nothing like the pictures or description. We booked the family suite with a king bed and bunk beds pictures show couch and panted rooms king bed updated bunk beds but when we walked in it was so outdated full size bed old wobbly bunk beds ac units that stunk like urine if you ran them bath tubs that were falling apart and hair already in it a 1” gap under the front door killed bugs already on ceiling and walls and killed 3 more during or stay.. they have a giant lobby/waiting/eating area but super small breakfast area to get food in a little room I am a hotel engineer myself and would try to avoid this place by any means necessary "

"Yes it was s good stay and the staff was great"

"The location, parking, cleanliness, and people were all great. The biggest issue was the shower pressure was oddly extremely low."

"Room was clean, lots of amenities for children and adults. Will definitely book again "

"Little off the beaten track. Notes to hotel are answers by AI, so don't bother with special instructions they don't read them"

"A great, well-kept hotel close to beach and shops. The onsite cafe has a nice variety of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and the speciality coffees offered are fantastic."

"2 Stars for motel, 5 stars for the staff. The staff was very welcoming and very friendly, but from there everything else was very underwhelming. Small dark room, cheap wobbly furniture, sticky carpet, sloppy paint job. Thin cheap towels, looked clean, but didn’t smell freshly laundered. They do provide decent body wash, shampoo & conditioner, and body lotion. And thankfully the bedding was clean, and smelled laundered. The property itself was dirty and poorly kept. The complementary breakfast had plenty of food, However if you have any dietary restrictions, there were no non-diary options of milk or yogurt, and no healthy oatmeal toppings like nuts/seeds, fresh berries, cinnamon, etc. There was some fresh whole fruits available, so that was nice. And the location is within walking distance to the beach, which was also nice. Bottom line, if you’re only staying a night or two on your way somewhere else, and don’t want to pay a fortune, this would be an ok choice. I would not recommend this motel for vacations or an extended stay. But just to end on a good note, the staff was great!"
