First room was in Old building with dim lighting and run down everything. So we got moved to newer building on second floor. But it had a clogged toilet which ten minutes with a plunger didn't fix (and the plunger had to be checked out, which wasnt a good sign). Room 3 didn't get hot water for a shower. I'm not that picky, but this place was sub standard. The service however was excellent in trying to make the best of a terrible property

The young man at checkin made the whole experience enjoyable. The only issues I had was there was a leak from back wall which was coming in where the wall met the floor. They moved us down around 8 rooms, same thing but not as bad. It was a very rainy/blizzard kind of day

Staff was very nice but the rooms were just gross. So bad I didn’t want to walk barefoot on the carpet. Beds not “hotel” neat and cockroach in the bathroom. Very limited amenities. I’ll be avoiding Wyndham properties, I didn’t realize they’re that bad. At least this one was. There are so many hotels in Carlsbad, spend a few more bucks if you want clean.
