Horrible place to stay
Bugs crawling all over the room blood stains on the sheets kicked in doors throughout the property and people outside partying all night long.

To be expected really
The office phone didn't work so I couldn't inform them of my arrival time. The room was the smallest motel room ever. There was no soap provided. The grounds were dingy. The shower floor stained. The door to the bathroom was very large and opened into the already small room.

They are very good to me here. Rather than saying it's the little things, they do common things uncommonly well.

A decent overnight stay
It was a good and decent stay. One night stay. There was some traffic noise from the freeway overnight and some noise from housekeeper cart rolling through the outside hallway. Bed was comfortable and clean.

Convient location & helpful staff
We like the Motel 6 pets-stay-free policy, since we have 2 dogs. I'm basing my review on what's reasonable for an economy hotel. The outstanding feature here was how helpful the staff were, especially the handyman who got our TV working and then did some cleaning in the room that was missed by the cleaner. The pool area is nice. Plenty of restaurants & shopping in walking distance.

I only used the place basically for a clean bed to sleep and to shower at night. Most of the day I was out celebrating with my friends. The motel served my needs at an affordable price!

Complete Disappointment!
Cleanliness of the building was terrible and the room was even worse. Room was not clean, not designed for people with mobility issues. Too many things to mention regarding the room that were not acceptable. Vending machine room only open twelve hours per day and the ice machine was out of order for the entire time we occupied the premises. Elevator was a disaster too. Not a good experience and my expectations didn’t come close to being met either! We won’t be back to stay at this location again!

Needs improvement.
Cost wise it was okay, however there is a deposit that the website doesn’t state there is and when you asking the person checking you in she stated I’m not sure why it doesn’t say that on the website but it’s cheaper than most places. The cleanliness was bad there was acrylic nails from previous people on the windowsill, horrible odor coming from the bathroom, the shower was dirty, there was blue painters tape holding pieces that seemed to be falling off in place. The place was over all very dirty. We stayed a few days & weren’t offered towels or any room service during the stay. You get a very uneasy feeling staying there. It was a last minute quick trip so wasn’t expecting much but we definitely won’t be staying there again.

Actually an underrated spot and such a great place both in and out. The room was clean and furniture was incredibly up to date, the bathroom was nice and I was about 15 minutes away from the beach and everything else great. There’s also a ton of things to do nearby, I’m glad this place is sort of a hidden gem and amazing for the price too. I normally don’t leave reviews out but this place was awesome. I intend on coming back.

The room smelled like urine, no soap or shampoo in the bathroom. The bed was very stiff. TV had no color I almost live in the middle of the night.

The front desk lady did not smile once. She almost looked mad to be there. Check in was pretty fast. The tv control wasn’t working when i got to room. I think showers are way too small. Overall it was just ok
