Extremely Disappointing Stay – Never Coming Back
We booked the biggest and most expensive room at The Padre Hotel, hoping for a peaceful night’s rest on our way to Carlsbad. Instead, we were kept up all night by blaring music from the nightclub downstairs. It was unbelievably loud – as if the DJ was in our room. We chose this hotel based on the glowing reviews, but clearly, none of them mentioned the unbearable noise level.
To make matters worse, I woke up with a migraine and thought a warm bath might help. Unfortunately, the bathtub was filthy — so much for comfort and luxury. For a hotel that markets itself as upscale, basic cleanliness shouldn’t be too much to ask.
This was a one-night stopover that turned into a total nightmare. Absolutely not worth the money, and we’re never coming back. Beware if you’re looking for rest — this is more of a nightclub with rooms than an actual hotel.
