I loved the location. I could walk to the beach. it was right off the 5. yet quiet i couldn't hear the freeway. The staff was super friendly. the grounds and building were very clean. my room was clean. my mattress was old i had a spring poke me in the back of my leg when i sat on the edge to get up. there was graffiti etched into the table. The tv remote had dead batteries. there was 3 police cars in the parking lot when i arrived on a Sunday evening. I did not mention anything to the staff about the bad things. I was only there 2 nights. I would stay there again.

Spend a little bit more and stay somewhere decent

This property is dirty rooms are not cleaned heating had to be turned on manually by maintenance coming into the room and going into vent inside your room showing you there buttcrack lucky you and making you feel uncomfortable with conversation when there working but don’t actually want to and you want to just rest not entertain a man and freeze a man you had to have come into your room after check in and undressing and realizing the heat in 50 degree winter didn’t work. after a long day where this whole process takes a couple hours and if maintenance is gone for the day your out of luck you have to keep switching rooms until maybe you luck out and find one with heat on staff is nice about it I mean some it’s ghetto unsafe and very poorly run where not everything offered is actually working or accessible so technically you are being charged incorrectly for if the property claim to offer heat and hours of your stay are taken out of your day and your time your frustration and your money all because the property who is rich but franchise maybe owned is cutting costs and not technically offering what it says it offers. It is law suit worthy. It’s fraud. Motel 6 corporation is wealthy so they should be spending more money on sending people out to make sure properties are being maintained simply I would never stay in a motel 6 again it’s for drug addicts and prostitutes and it’s sad that’s what it’s allowed for itself when it could be more.

This hotel is terrible. The room smelled like smoke and drugs. There was no heat in the room or blankets on the bed. The pictures are misrepresented. I paid for the week in advance on hotels.com ( which I will never do again) and I am trying to get my refund.
