Each guest room at Super 8 Carlsbad has free Wi-Fi and cable TV with HBO. The spacious rooms are also furnished with a coffee maker and work desk.

Covid did away with breakfast, but extra coffee and tea bags were provided in the room. The room was immaculate. Cleanliness was exceptional. The microwave and fridge were spotless. The ice machine was still in service and that was very nice. It too was very clean. The beds were queen size and the mattresses were very comfortable and not the wore out lumpy saggy type. The no-smoking atmosphere and clean smell in the entire hotel were greatly appreciated.

    This was a large motel-style inn attractively set out with trees and lots of room for cars so that it did not feel crowded. The room was a good size and well presented. Staff were generally available and helpful.

    A few days before, we stayed at the Motel 6 in Albuquerque, which was a dismal dump (you can probably find our review somewhere around.) Staying here restored our faith in the Motel 6 brand!

    This dated motel had wonderful remodeling job with local character that made it a welcomed destination place rather than just an overnight stay. Room was clean and spacious.

    The location was fine…. (But so is every other hotel and motel in Carlsbad). We were visiting the national park and this offered a place to stay for the night. There is someone living in a camper right outside though. Made sure I locked my doors 3-4 times.

    This is a no frills motel but it is very clean, quiet and in a nice area (within blocks of a museum, the library and the police station). Some good dinner options close by.

    The motel was probably excellent when it first opened; it is attractively painted and furnished. A microwave and refrigerator in the room is always nice.

    A busy motel with clean well maintained rooms which were slightly bigger than average. Responsive staff. Carlsbad has a great zoo/desert gardens.

    The beds were VERY comfortable and the shower was incredible - probably the best I've ever had in any lodging worldwide! Super pressure and plenty of hot water. The room was clean, and it was quiet even with the motel being pretty full. The area felt safe. The staff were friendly and helpful. Typically we prefer to stay at hotels, but we would stay here again and again.
