Booked this hotel because reviews were good. We did not experience what the reviews said. Room was worn out & dirty. Overall hotel looked worn out. Carlsbad is a working town so lots of contractors from oil & gas fields using all the hotels hard.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Got to room & fridge was unplugged so it wasnā€™t cold at all for our cold groceries. Plugged it in & knew why, there was a loud noise that didnā€™t go away even after 4-5 hours so had to consume all perishables & unplug it. Then the room was 77 when we got there so it took hours to cool down. During the night it kept shutting off & wouldnā€™t come back on until it was at least 6-8 degrees above the temp we set it so everyone said they didnā€™t sleep well because it was so hot in the room. There were bags of beer cans by the elevator & someone threw up in the elevator. Still wasnā€™t cleaned up the next day. Never staying there again!!

Room was great, minus blood stained comforter
Front desk was really friendly. Breakfast was ok. The room was larger than I anticipated which was nice. We found some tiny blood stains on one of the comforters the morning of check out. I brought it to the front deskā€™s attention, not sure that came of it, since I left.

There were so many problems with the cats, I donā€™t know where to begin. 1) Check in-front desk clerk was rude and on a personal phone call via her air pods. She gave us one key for the room and failed to activate for the two days of our stayā€”so we ended up locked out of our room. 2) The bathroom fan didnā€™t work. The shower pan was ringed with a rusty red mildew/mold. 3) No lotion or conditioner were provided in the rooms. 4) The refrigerator began making a very load grinding soundā€”clearly it was dying. 5) At midnight, the lobby was vacuumed. This shouldnā€™t be a problem, but the room was right off the lobby, so we were awakened by the noise. This should have been done in the late morning. 6) Breakfast-worst included breakfast ever! No milk was available for cereal. There was no butter for toast or English muffins and no knives to spread anything on the toast or English muffin 7) WiFi-despite having the password, it kicked us off after 5 min. Donā€™t bother trying to use LTE bc there was limited signal. 8) Ramp-there is no ramp to wheel luggage from the lobby to the parking lot. Ultimately, this was the BIGGEST waste of money. I will NEVER stay at this or any other Main Stays. And Iā€™m highly suspect of properties within the Choice hotels brand. For the money, La Quinta never disappoints. Avoid Main Stays and head down the street to LaQuinta.
