Negative Reviews
negative:
Bug infestation.
There seemed to be fruit flies in the kitchen area congregated around the wet, wood smell. In addition, guests reported finding other unidentified bugs throughout the hotel room. This made for a very uncomfortable stay.
negative:
Extremely dirty.
Prior guests have reported their dismay of the filthy conditions of this Ramada Carlsbad. Dirty, musty carpets and cigarette butts and trash in the hallways of the hotel were observed by prior guests. These are just a few of the guest complaints about the deplorable conditions of this Ramada.
negative:
Inoperable amenities.
While the hotel advertises the convenience of a whirlpool, it is very inconvenient for guests when it is not working correctly. In addition, guests reported that both of the ice machines on their floor were inoperable as well. The manager was made aware of these issues.
