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.

Got to room & fridge was unplugged so it wasn’t cold at all for our cold groceries. Plugged it in & knew why, there was a loud noise that didn’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 & wouldn’t come back on until it was at least 6-8 degrees above the temp we set it so everyone said they didn’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 wasn’t cleaned up the next day. Never staying there again!!

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 desk’s attention, not sure that came of it, since I left.

There were so many problems with the cats, I don’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 stay—so we ended up locked out of our room.
2) The bathroom fan didn’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 sound—clearly it was dying.
5) At midnight, the lobby was vacuumed. This shouldn’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. Don’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 I’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.

Very easy checking in and getting into room. Was very surprised the room layout was just like the pictures. 2 beds and a pullout was just what I needed and just what I reserved. That was very nice.
The young lady at the front desk was very into her tic tok videos because each time I went to the front desk, she was so mesmerized by whatever she was watching she could not look up or even recognize I was standing less than a foot away from her. Wasn’t really worried about this, it was more funny than anything. My big complaint is that the second picture for this place shows a beautiful pool with several watersides. Come to find out that this does not exist. Shame on you Mainstay for tricking your guests like this. I should have known better but how can you get away with this kind of sorcery??? Why not just advertise your rates at $5 and tell your potential guests “free unlimited craft beers”??
While I was satisfied with the service and the stay, I do not appreciate being bamboozled by fake pictures and false pretenses. I’m curious how many others were lured here thinking they were going to enjoy the festivities only to be let down by walking out into the courtyard and finding cornhole instead of a water park🤔

This hotel is great but Expedia is full of lies. There is no pool here. That photo is a city park. When I notified them they refused to fix the misleading photo. Stay at this hotel but book through their website and not Expedia.

Upon checking it looked like it was going to be great. Late in the evening there was a terrible smell in the room. Like badly burnt popcorn. My wife could not sleep but we turned on the fans and put up with it. Smell gone in the morning. The next day we returned to our room in the early evening and all was good but shortly the smell came back. We reported it to the lobby staff and they came to inspect. They noticed it as well but couldn’t offer any solutions. We asked for another room but were told that was not possible because they were booked. It didn’t seem that busy so we checked online and rooms were available. Staff said to book it but at our expense. We asked for management to be advised and apparently they were and again offered no solution. Very disappointed mostly with the lack of concern and willingness to correct when they had options. The refrigerator was noisy that last night and may have been the problem as it may be going bad. Not sure but terrible customer service. I may have rated them too high.
