Carlsbad September 2024 - Ok
Trip was a day trip to Caverns. Stayed at Stevens and only one disappointment was the breakfast, because there wasn't much too it and staff looked as if up all night.
Other than that, the Young man at desk was more than helpful, with sharing local activities and places.
Room very clean and accessible. The evening bar, featured a DJ, which was nice.
Overall, good experience but was really surprised on morning buffet. No pastries, oatmeals, yogurt, fruit.

STAYED HERE 8 YEARS AGO AND IT WAS NICE...NOT SURE IF WYNDHAM OWNED IT THEN..KILLED ONE ROACH IN THE BATHROOM AND 2 OUTSIDE THE ROOM DOOR ON PATIO. BED BUGS (SEE PHOTO). WHEN WE CHECKED OUT THE NEXT MORNING, I SHOWED THE CLERK THE DEAD ROACH IN A BOTTLE AND HE SAID "SORRY ABOUT THAT, BUT WE DID HAVE SOME RAIN LATELY. OTHER THAN THAT, HOW WAS YOUR STAY?" NO OFFER TO COMPENSATE AT ALL. TOLD HIM TO JUST GIVE ME MY RECEIPT SO I COULD LEAVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WILL NOT STAY AT THIS PROPERTY AGAIN

Poorly maintained property
The property was poorly maintained. My family & myself had to change rooms twice. First room only had hot water, no cold water functioning in the tub. The second room change, the wall air conditioning unit was stuck / frozen. Room temperature was an uncomfortable 76 degrees. As it was the temperature outside was already extremely hot. Be aware that there is an additional $25 hold added to your reservation for room service or other incurred expenses. Will never stay here again! The property does not look like how it is advertised online!

The night staff that checked me in for an extremely late check in was so kind and got us checked in so promptly ( he could tell we were tired) He was informative and inviting. Breakfast staff was a little less friendly but they were attentive to what seemed like regulars. Some inappropriate jokes from the kitchen my daughters were embarrassed over hearing. The room itself was comfortable and quiet. Overall I’d say it was a great stay.
