The Motel 6 is located directly by the exit of Highway 76, so it is really easy to get to. The downside: It is very noisy, especially in the rooms facing the highway. My room was on the 3rd floor...kinda quiet..but it was very, very basic. Very little furniture, just the tv, plain walls, not a single decorative item...not even... More

Not just "often" but over many years. This property has its ups and downs but I believe is now on an "up." The staff were uniformly friendly, and the property seemed safer than it had in the past. The location is terrific, just off Hwy 78 and easily seen from the road, though this means extra room noise. The price... More

My girlfriend and I stayed in Oceanside for 2 days at the Motel 6, and we had a terrible stay. This hotel was inhabited by shady, noisy residents who had decided to live there. I actually got scammed into giving someone money at a gas station, just to find them staying down the street at our hotel! The walls were... More

It is pretty much a standard Motel 6, no frills but really close to the beach. The price was right, it met our needs which was a place to sleep and do laundry. The rooms are clean including the bathroom. Check in was easy in and out. There are a lot of military/ military family there, so it feels pretty... More

I stayed with my family for a quick beach trip. The room was very clean and when we needed extra towels the hotel was very accommodating. The pool was very clean. The location is terrific if you are unfamiliar with the area. Easy on and off the freeway with lots of local dining so you don't have to travel far.... More

First of all the last 2 reviews were for the wrong property...they stayed at the downtown location, so don't be fooled by the nice reviews. This property is not walking distance to the beach it's about 7 miles away. Anyway, we stayed at this Motel 6 mainly because it was close to my Sisters home and we were there for... More

We stayed one night at this Motel 6 in Oceanside without reading any reviews (mistake). The room smelled like a sour-egg sewery smell. Quite gross. The bed had holes in the sheets and "magazine" flat pillows. The rug looked like it has never been cleaned, and I was grossed out to walk on it with my barefeet. The bathroom does... More

When my husband and I decided on a spur of the moment getaway, I thought we were lucky to get a room at all. Motel 6 isn't exactly the Ritz, but I expected to at least get a good rate, which I did. We were given a handicap accessable room, which was only different because it had a lot more... More
