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.

The best motel in all of north county for location, nicely renovated rooms, friendly staff and quiet. New heat & cool units in each room are easy to set and are accurate to set and forget. There are plenty of fast food restaurants around and a Walmart within walking distance. Lyft & Uber frequent this motel as needed and all rooms are easy to find. Coffee is available each morning in the lobby until 10:00 a.m. which is seldom seen these days. An elevator which makes it so much easier to check-in & also checkout without having to use stairs.

It’s not the property, but the location, as it is the vagrants and ne’er-do-wells milling about like bottom feeders. It might sound petty, and I’m glad someone could use it, but I had a couple of gallon water jugs taken out of my pickup bed. I wouldn’t leave anything of value in sight, or even leave it in the car. Sigh, it is a sign of the times.

I have never been disappointed at this Motel 6. They keep things working most importantly both ice makers in the vending & laundry room for guests. On a recent stay at another Motel 6 location 2 ice makers outdoors and one indoors didn't work at all nor did they have Out Of Order signs on them. If I was working there I would have brought in to the lobby the biggest cooler/ice chest and kept it filled with ice for the guests. Those without refrigerators I would have notified when checking in ice was available for their needs. The grounds all around the walkways had things stored that really were eyesores for guests to see. This Oceanside location has the best fast food/restaurants all around it plus quick access to I-5 and the 78.

This Motel 6 has professional grounds keepers that mow the grass. The trees look great trimmed and are filling in nicely with leaves at the tops of each branch reminding me of bonsai trees. The parking lots and all the cement thoroughfares are cleaned by using leaf blowers. There is pride in the landscaping and it’s that time of year that things really green up and grow.
