This place is disgusting. Ruined my whole trip. Left a day early. Floors were dirty. Phone was dirty. Fan in bathroom was filthy. Beds cave in and slide around on the bed stand. Ladies at front desk weren’t friendly at all. The guy at the front desk in the night time was nice.
Dirty towel that was folded up in room.
I used wipes to clean the floor.

I had an awful experience at this Motel 6. I was booked for a 3-night stay but could only tolerate one night due to bed bugs. I couldn’t sleep at all — I kept getting bitten and even took pictures as proof. The next morning, I went to the front desk and showed them the photos. Instead of addressing the issue, they told me to contact Expedia. I’ve been trying to get a refund ever since and still haven’t received it. This was a completely unacceptable experience. Between the bed bugs, lack of sleep, and zero accountability from the staff, I would never stay here again. I hope management takes these concerns seriously — no guest should have to go through this.

So of all the hotels that I have stayed the night in I'm from Utah watsonville is my childhood City I grew up there till I was 9:00 moved to Utah then I moved back to Vacaville when I was 11 or 12 and then I left at Vacaville when I was 16 years old and came back to Utah. The hotel had weird ways of doing things it wasn't full service we had to bring a dirty towels down to the desk so they could go across the hallway to give us new towels there wasn't enough trash cans in the room and they only clean the room out every 3 Days by request from the guests that are staying in the room I had no idea this until I got to the hotel we had to understand how things worked the vending machinemachine took all of her money. And I said there's nothing we can do. I thought there's a couple of breakfast that did not exist there. And we often went to the beach and had to walk on a Sandy floor so it got cleaned out once in 4 days and then we left and couldn't wait to leave the heck out of there cuz we had to bring down our towels every time they were dirty to get some fresh ones.

This hotel was fine for $100 a night, but there were many things that were not great... There were piles of trash in the hallways for the entirety of our stay that were not taken care of. There were holes and stains in the linens, as well as hair in the beds. The floor under the small refrigerator was disgusting. The towels were nice and fluffy, but we were only given two for three people. The door to the room next to us had obviously been smashed in. Etc. But, it was dog friendly and in a convenient location for our trip.
