I had a disappointing experience at this Motel 6 location. The room had an unpleasant smell that made it uncomfortable to stay in, and it didn’t seem like any effort had been made to address it before check-in. Additionally, the towels provided were very limited — not nearly enough for a proper stay. For the price, I expected at least a basic level of cleanliness and comfort, but unfortunately, this stay fell short. I won’t be returning to this location and would not recommend it based on my experience.

No smoke detector in room. Old bar of soap left in shower. After checking in I saw a homeowner man walking around the building. His pa to looked like dirty rags. He went into a room. Evidently he was staying there. When I went to get my luggage out of my car I sat it at the back corner of my car while I got some things out of the front seat. I saw a shadow by my bag and went to it. There was a girl standing there , she looked homeless. Went she was me she said oh. Then she started following me to my room. I stopped and turned around and she just stop and turned her back to me. I just stood there and waited for her to go in front of me and then I noticed her turn right by where my room was at heading to another room so I continue to go forward until I thought she had gotten into her room because I didn’t want her to know which room I was in. She really seemed like she was going to steal my luggage. I understand the hotel probably cannot turn homeless people away, but I did Phil and Safe while I was there and that girl is definitely up to something.

This is a great location plus this Motel 6 has been renovated. These prices are great for like new! The entire staff is friendly from the front desk (which all of them have been so nice to me) the laundry dept and all the housekeepers. Did I mention this location has an elevator? Makes the check in & out much easier and all your trips to & from your room.

After confirming the hatu card wasn't blocked and had sufficient funds, I went to Hotels.com but oinadvertently booked a room at a different Motel 6 im Oceanside. I called on the way here I called and verified my reservation and Colonel taking your life well I came to the wrong Motel 6 going on that now and leave and after some confusion we discovered two Motel 6 miles from here so I bookrr nstead .
