Pros

All rooms feature separate sitting areas and work desks

Garden area available for guest relaxation

Walking distance to beaches and downtown dining

Secured private parking included with stay

Cons

9.5 miles distance from nearest airport

No on-site dining options

“Scandia Motel presents a mixed bag, particularly regarding cleanliness and soundproofing. While its location is convenient for exploring Carlsbad, some rooms apparently suffer from maintenance issues. I would suggest it as a budget option for those prioritizing location over immaculate conditions.”
