The owners always make staying here very pleasant, I have nothing to complain about and you definitely can't beat the price especially with it being in the Village.
Hannah, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

There is a reason
This is a motel and there is a reason it is the cheapest option so close to the beach and downtown. The staff were friendly and the motel was quiet. The nature of the area and the price do attract some odd people, but there were no issues. If you simply need a place to sleep and want to be walking distance to the shops and beaches of Carlsbad and Oceanside, the Scandia Motel is well situated. It's not glamourous but it suits it's purpose, and you're probably not visiting Carlsbad to sit in your room anyway.

The Scandia
Property could have been a bit cleaner, I've know that the trains pass by but did not realize so many late at night, tough to sleep. Location is very nice and convenient
