Rooms was clean and easy to find. Staff was friendly. Air conditioning was A MAZING. I’m someone who had to have a cold room because of migraines and this was the best AC I’ve been in
The room is so filthy and has foul odor. Although the front desk person was very helpful. You can really tell that the Motel is old and not well maintained. It is good for just a short term stay and friendly budget.

Super close to the beach and right off the freeway. Very convenient for travel to San Diego and others spots, but still Motel 6 vibes. We had a good time.
Julie at the front desk was excellent. She was very helpful and went above and beyond to be friendly and of service. The parking lot and landscaping was dirty and filled with litter. The rooms were clean.
Power was out. Hotel staff was great in advising how to handle it. EXPEDIA was a nightmare. Their “expert” agents lied to me, hung up on me, and said I’d have to wait for a refund and pay for a new room when the hotel staff said that if they moved me to another Motel 6 they’d price match and not need a refund. Expedia’s agents are not trained to deal with human emotions. It took 1.5 hours on the phone before I got a room at the same hotel. It was an absolute nightmare.
Looks to me, people live here rather than stay. Checked in, and the lady was accommodating, very nice.
On checkout, I gave them the key card. He took it and walked away. Not helpful since I paid for 2 nights and only stayed 1.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Suspicious activity in parking lot — didn’t feel safe walking to my room in the third floor. Staff was very kind though
Liked...clean, staff very. accomodating and nice, easy ck in. Didn't like..... shower to small, bed very uncomfortable, pool loungers broken , uncomfortable, The shower would have been ok if you could move the showerhead away from body while soaking up. Head did not move.
I appreciated the updated room features (new furniture, lighting, bathroom), but the floor, bathroom walls, and light switches felt like they needed a good scrubbing, and the bedding had stains and crumbs in it?????!! It was a non-smoking room but smelled like smoke, but not strongly.
The main office was hard to find, but overall not a big deal, and the staff were helpful. The complimentary morning coffee was nice.

My Sister and 2 others stayed here for 1 night. It is a 2 star rating so she didn't expect much.
The location was good and near the freeway. They were happy that their room was not near the trash can.
The beds were clean.
The shower appeared to be stained, so only 1 of the 3 people used it.
But, back to, it's a 2 star rating and she said she was okay with the stay.
