The room was very dirty (bits of fake eyelashes on the bedspread, dirt on the covers), the toilet was clogged when I arrived, and there was sand/dirt on the floor. The room also smelled strongly of kitty litter. The shower curtain hooks were broken and didn't cover the shower, so water would spray out, no matter how I arranged it. There was so much dog poop on all the grounds that I didn't want to let my dog walk on the grass to pee. I honestly have never seen so much dog poop, anywhere. Staff were all awesome, but I suspect that they need to be paid more!

Tried to check in at 3pm but there were no rooms ready. They had no estimate when it would be ready but told us they would call. It was almost 5pm when our room was finally ready. It was a non smoking room but reeked of smoke. Our eyes were watering and we couldn’t stay. It was on the highway side of the building and we could hear every passing car. The curtains were also broken and the room was not clean. We stayed for about half an hour then asked for a refund and found another place to stay. The gentleman at the desk was very accommodating and friendly and processed our refund without question.

Get what you pay for

Just wanted a cheap place to stay for a night and this was fine. Room was pretty disgusting, but at least the sheets were clean I guess. The door wasn't aligned with the frame, so we couldn't get the door to deadbolt despite an ominous sign telling us to deadbolt the door for our protection. Ended up stacking both of our suit cases in front of the door for an uneasy night's rest.

Good for a quick overnight stay

It's a Motel 6, so our expectations weren't super high. The lady who checked us in was very nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. When our first room was discovered to have a leak in the bathroom, she quickly got us into another room. She even warned us about the freeway traffic noise (which, honestly, wasn't so bad). Overall, it's a decent place to crash for a short stay when you're on a budget. Bare bones, and the beds are comfortable enough.

Reception and staff members were friendly 👍👌 Clean room. After half an hour of our check in at the motel, when My kids wanted to use the toilet, I noticed the toilet was clogged. I called the motel office, she called the supervisor and told me the maintenance guy will come right now. After half an hour again I called again and then went to the office, she told me that the maintenance guy went to the wrong room number. About one hour and half or two hours the staff member came with some thing and she tried for ten minutes and then she came out and said it’s fixed. Thank you for your help I think it is good to check the toilet once a while to avoid any problems or inconvenience.

Good value--I'd come back!

Thankfully this motel is quieter than the previous 2 years except if you are on Hwy 5 side-East. Toilets can be problematic--I'd scrap their weird type if I managed here. Also, wish the shower heads were towards the back of the shower. Pool is down. Ice machine better than some Motel 6's CA. HVAC is automatic--call 0 for help if needed temp wise.

Arrived at the property at 5pm and my friend's room wasn't ready. In my room, half of the bed sagged down 7-10 inches. I had to move the nightstand to access plugs. The motel is adjacent to a freeway and you can hear it really clearly. I'm sure there are things I'm missing, but this was a very negative experience.
