Motel 6-San Diego, CA - Southbay

Staff is great, check in was a breeze, they are pet friendly but no area for pets to relieve themselves so my 13 year old dog peed in the middle of the road that goes through the property. Housekeeping was quite upset that some pee ran downhill towards where they were working, without reaching them. They verbalized their discontent and poured a whole big bottle of bleach on the puddle and down the little river of pee. It is my practice to pour about half a gallon of water over dog pee so the places he goes don't start to stink but i wasn't given a chance in this case, I apologized but I was not acknowledged. There were other pet owners walking their dogs around the parking area because that was the only place available. I don’t blame staff for being tired of a pet waste, it just seemed a little excessive to pour that much bleach essentially down the drain… it’s pretty toxic. The housekeeper that was cleaning the rooms around mine was very nice and went out of her way to let me know that she was available if I needed anything. The only problem I had was roaches! I killed five roaches, the biggest one of which was crawling up my leg until I flipped it off, then it was on it’s back wriggling its legs, of course, I screamed, freaked out, hit it with my shoe, I hate doing that but what are you gonna do when boyfriend’s asleep? I suspect they may have been spraying in the next room over because they all came from that direction. Thankfully none crawled on me in bed!

Place was clean and staff was very helpful.hotel has a pool on site and transportation right out front. Did not offer food but it is not a problem pizza joint right out front a lil noisy from the cars passing by but nothing to bad overall a great stay . Definitely would be back.

I have to say this was a last-minute business trip I needed to be somewhere that was conveniently located between a border and downtown. The moment I checked in, I was warmly greeted with great customer service skills. I got into the room and I was completely blown away how the room was extremely large and also completely remodeled. No charge for parking with plenty of parking. The staff housekeeping people are very polite and caring.

Overall great experience, I’ve stayed at a few motels in my time but this is probably the nicest motel I’ve stayed at. It was clean and had larger than most hotel mini fridges and microwave and it was nice to have free parking. The location was ok but right next to freeway but noise wasn’t too bad.

It was clean staff was ready for check in as soon as I arrived. Pool on site and transportation right out front .

Loved the fact that it was pet friendly and the staff was excellent.

We got there a little later than usual; after 9 pm. Parking seemed full, because most of the customers were already in their room; however there was enough parking to accommodate our later arrival. Customer service was fast and friendly! Thank you!

I stayed over a year ago for 10 nights and one year later the service is still top notch and the property is well maintained. The housekeepers are impeccable when it comes to cleaning and the rooms are modernly dated and comfortable. The only eyesore is due to underground sewage/plumbing along the entryway path. Otherwise, by far one of the top motel stays within the Motel 6 franchise!

It was clean. Small parking lot. Quiet.

Very Friendly but very few handicap spots. They need to enforce parking. The vehicles didn’t have any sign of handicap parking placard or plates. I had to park at guest parking

Found cockroach

I stayed for 5 days and each day I would come back to the room it would be really clean.

Cleanest Motel 6 I've ever seen. The room was well maintained, and the area quiet

Front desk staff was friendly, however, towels were visibly unwashed, the bed sheets have yellow stains, and the bathroom smelled like it hasn’t been cleaned.

The king room was spacious, sadly there were fleas and microscopic translucent biting bugs. It was worse in the next room I switch to. This is not the only hotel this is happening at, ALL animal friendly hotel I've stayed (not all animal hotels lets be clear) the ones I stayed at, namely: Studio 6 San ysidro, La quinta Chula Vista motel 6 El cajon, has some of this same things going on in varying intensities. More care should be taken to thoroughly clean and treat the rooms. The fridge and floor, corners, under the hand basin area hasnt been cleaned properly in a while, its really gross. Housekeeping is not supposed to be just changing sheets and towels folks. I shouldn't have to come and be cleaning the room, this isn't what we pay for or deserve. People are paying for this place, the least this hotel can do is give us thoroughly cleaned rooms. I love that they welcome our fur babies, but please srop subjecting our animals and people to disease carrying insects in YOUR rooms.

Property is very well maintained. Management, staff and housekeeping do an excellent job in the upkeep and cleanliness of the rooms and grounds!!

The room was dirty. Dental pick and trash on the floor . Walls and doors dirty. Dirty stains on the bedding.

This has been by far the best motel 6 we've ever stayed at. Room was renovated and extremely clean. Bathroom was also modernly renovated and clean. Shower had great water pressure and very hot water. Take in mind only bars of soap are offered. Bed and pillows were comfortable. There's a microwave and refrigerator, we'd only wish it had a coffee maker as well. Employees were nice and helpful. Overall a great stay and great value for the price.

cleanliness was awsome

Bed was fairly comfortable and the shower was a good size. No soap dish or anywhere to put shampoo or other toiletries in shower. Room default selected to SMOKING! I am allergic but staff at check-in said there was nothing they could do (fully booked). Floor was not clean but the room was serviced daily.

The tv didn’t work but the room was surprisingly nice and everything else was good.

Room is bare bones. No hair dryer, coffee maker, shampoo & conditioner. Only provides bar soap. Bed cover was full of burn holes in a non smoking room. Room was very dirty, dead flies and thick dust.

Located on the corner of a busy intersection and right by the freeway. Sound of emergency sirens was frequent.

Room was clean and spacious. Didn't like the fact the tv was not programed. Also the toilet had no pressure when flushed maintenence and cleaningstaff needs to make sure everythingis good and ready for next guess. Other than that it was good.

It"s a great bargain, but if you are a light sleeper the location may be too noisy. I only heard the sirens (there's a fire station close by) because I was awake.

Room was very large and clean, check-in and out was very easy. Future visitors may want to be aware of the hotel's proximity to the freeway and the potential for traffic noise with that.

Front desk guy is rude

Manager has a very bad attitude

Nice friendly staff and great manager

Great friendly staff clean rooms

My stay was terrible because I arrived here at midnight believing I have a room reserved and the staff told me sorry we cannot bring to you because your name on do not rent list I said why is that they told me because I had a shouting match with somebody in the management of the hotel last time I was here and that is absolutely not true I have never had any bad experience or any bad contact with any of the staff in this motel they told me I can come tomorrow and speak with the management but tonight I have no place to stay it's midnight and this is really truly wrong and very disappointing.

Very friendly Staff!!!

The front desk staff was helpful

Super seamless check-in. Man at the office was very nice & the room was up to par.

Staff is always very friendly and the rooms are always nice and clean!!!!!

I will never hesitate again to take a room at Motel 6. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the lighting was good. The Southbay Motel 6 is not in a good area - ALOT of racing cars and motorcycles, but once I turned on TV, the sound wasn't that bad.

Easy to find

Close to everything!!

Located on the corner of a busy intersection and right by the freeway. Sound of emergency sirens was frequent.

Nice place, good food close by. Right off the freeway

It"s a great bargain, but if you are a light sleeper the location may be too noisy. I only heard the sirens (there's a fire station close by) because I was awake.

I haven’t visited a motel 6 in years , but I will say these are remodeled inside and they are quite comfortable. Only thing was they need new pillows ! I enjoyed my stay . It’s 2 miles from the beach and good freeway access ! And the area was or felt a bit unsafe but it was a great price with a great room ! I will go again.

Decent location. Price was good for the area. Check-in was quick. Felt a bit uncomfortable with some of the guests and the area of town didn't feel like we could just walk around.

This place is always our favorite because it is so close to the beach only a few miles away. Plus it’s very close to the freeway and lots of Places to walk and have something to eat. Thank you 6 motel for the easy check in we will always be back as long as they have available rooms.

NO BREAKFAST NO WATER NO COFFEEE

We stayed for 10 days and we had a great experience overall! Although the surrounding area is questionable we felt safe. The room had new furniture and was updated. There is no breakfast, iron, or hair dryer so bring your own. The room service came in every day and cleaned up the room. We appreciated that a lot! The employees at the front desk were very kind and helpful!

Nice place, good food close by. Right off the freeway

Just an economy hotel. No breakfast. To spent one or two nights, no more

Convenient to highway. Close to beach. Good food in area. Hotel was dirty but adequate for low cost.
