Great Service - Convenient Location
Front desk people were really helpful Excellent service.
Try not to get a room near the stairs. You get a lot of noise from people talking and checking in to their rooms

Very nice Motel 6. Seems well taken care of, has great water pressure and a great location. They said it was cash only upon arrival which was frustrating and cost an ATM fee. Seemed a little odd to me, but I had no choice as I was there for a funeral and had booked in advance, so costs had increased significantly.

One of the worst places out there
Sink was clogged and maintenance wasn’t any help. No toilet paper on arrival. Received a “used” bar of soap.

Check in was slow, the keys to the room would not open the room door, I paid for 2 nights , it was inconvenient to have the room keys to be re-keyed if I paid for 2-night.

Just here to sleep
This motel is nestled between some very nice motels. The pic of the office is not accurate at all. There were CASH ONLY paper signs throughout the tiny check in lobby, Very long lines in the office of customers waiting to get towels, and toilet paper. Our customers room key had to be redone several times during our stay. It seemed more like a residential motel. Many rooms had chairs outside the door and many people hanging out with their door open. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving any valuables in the room. I would not stay here again.

HOT ROOM
Although I specified a non smoking room it smelled like smoke. It also smelled musky as soon as we entered. The worst part is the AC didn’t work all night so we packed up and left at 4am! When I mentioned to the front desk she explained how the chiller kept going out.

Nice place for the price, close to the beach! Shopping center across the street so you can get food. They also have a nice room where you can buy food and heat up in a pinch. Felt safe with my car with overnight security.

It Served It's Purpose
Offered Wi-Fi but it wouldn't work. The ice machine was toward the front, and we were in the back. Some basic cable channels seemed to be buffering. Room was small, shower was missing a liner, pillows weren't very comfortable. No temperature control panel. The plus side was the location. Close to many restaurants, Starbucks, and freeway. It was clean and was ok for the 2 nights we stayed. And it fit our budget with 3rd party discount.
