2/10 Poor

Outlets didn’t work, I couldn’t plug in my hair curler, I couldn’t charge my phone. The TV was damaged, the hallway was so extremely dirty. I’ve stated at other motel 6 and they have never been like this. There was a huge spider in the corner too.

10/10 Exceptional

The room was as described, well-lit and comfortable. The central air conditioning worked great. They were also willing to store my 1 bag at the reception on my last day once I checked out. Very convenient location with public transport available nearby and the historic downtown / Gaslamp Quarter in walking distance.
