What a nightmare! Checked in at 9:30 pm with my elderly father and had to vacate the room at 1am due to the room conditions. When I had to kill a cockroach before setting my bag down I should have left immediately! The tub drain was clogged and a foul odor was coming from all the drains in the room.... More

We stayed here for our trip to Legoland. It was very clean. The beds were uncomfortable, but what we expected. The staff was very helpful. There is a grocery store, Starbucks, and dining across the street. The beach is literally walking distance away. The room is SMALL though. There is not much room at all. More

The rate was reasonable- $70 per night particularly for the area where hotels get very expensive. This was a better hotel than a 3 star we stayed at in San Diego that was double the price. We were here for two nights, and spent very little time in the hotel so it was good enough for a "crash pad" The... More

This is a great value except for one thing: Each night there was at least one, sometimes several, huge refrigerated semi-trucks parked right in front, making noise all night, with the noise rumbling through the rooms. The management should be making noise complaints to the police -- instead, they said that the truckers were guests of the hotel and that... More

I like the convenience, excellent service, and the fact I can bring my animal and she will be accepted no matter which Motel 6 we stay at. Motel 6 is always my first choice when I'm traveling, and I stay at this one at least once a year. More

We stayed just one night after a day at Legoland. We had a room by the pool. Our room smelled really bad. We had to go out and buy some fabreeze, just a really old musty smell. The beds were really close together and pushed up against the walls. Bed Covers were very old. I was glad we were only... More
