Got the queen bed room- price and location good other than that HORRIBLE! So tiny, old not clean. You get two thin stain towels, one hand towel and one washcloth. Stains on sheets pillow case. Toilet runs all night, not sound proof, you can hear everything. They are doing a new roof, no mention of that. Asked front desk for towels and was told maybe to now when cleaning comes in. I would not and do not recommend.

Great location. Basic amenities but fairly priced and clean. Staff is helpful and friendly. Stayed twice at Scandia and I will comeback. If you prioritize location over fanciness this place is for you.

We booked this knowing full and well it was a small Motel property. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The rooms are small but very clean and come with everything you'll need for a weekend stay. 5min walk from beach and just down thebstreet from Downtown Carlsbad/Carlsbad Village. I will definitely be coming back and booking with them again. Thank you for the stay. You made our trip wonderful.
Rented 2 double bed room. It was perfect.

Its adjacent to an active and noisy military base.Its 100 yards from train crossing and every 45 minutes the horn blasting stresses me out and prevents sleep. The room is the size of a crackerJack box. No bathtubs, floors are filthy. Wifi didn't work neither did the Heater. It's cheap for a good reason. It's a little better than staying in your car.
