KatarzynaUnited StatesFor the price and the location it's a great bargain! Scandia Motel is conveniently located across from the park and right behind that is the beach! Also very close to the main center and hub of Carlsbad. Walkable…
OwensUnited StatesIt was exactly what it looked like. Bare bones room with no amenities.
It was decent value for money and the front desk workers were nice.
It was as expected.
MeganUnited StatesGood deal, but wouldn’t stay again.
Location was good.
Room was infested with ants, found a long black hair in the sheets, room door took four tries to open with room card.

- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.

Questions about Scandia Motel
What time is check-in and check-out at Scandia Motel?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Scandia Motel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Scandia Motel?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Scandia Motel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Scandia Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Scandia Motel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 4:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Scandia Motel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
