Great stay and location is walking distance to stores and restaurants. Only negative part was we had a non smoking room, and other guest were smoking very close near our room. Defeats the purpose of a non-smoking room when you can still smell it in your own room.

Quick stop

It’s a quick stop on my long driving trip along the California coast. The place is simply, bare minimum, a clean, safe, comfortable bed.

My room was clean; so was the bathroom. The bathtub drain wouldn't stay open, which caused the water to back up. Overall, a decent room for one night.

Outdated. Room looked dirty because of the flooring and rusty handicap seat in the bathroom. Free coffee is very limited in the lobby. Okay for the price.

The area was ok. The room was ok for the price. The fake wood floor needed replaced and the baseboards needed a good scrubbing. Shower head was horrible. No direct pressure. Limited coffee at the lobby and vending machines. Ok place if you aren't hanging out at your room.

Checked in and the hotel looked nothing like the photos. The guy working at the desk was nice and accommodating. When we got to the room the first thing I notice was how SMALL the room was and it smelled like cigarettes. Then I noticed the leak, a giant puddle coming from the refrigerator. Tried to use the restroom before notifying the front desk and the door to the bathroom would not close because one of the tiny beds was blocking the door. Now that know that this is a motel 6 and all… but the rate was still close to $300. This room cannot comfortably accommodate 3 persons, maybe two at best. If this wasn’t a last minute booking to look at colleges with my daughter, I would definitely consider looking elsewhere without a doubt.
