Motel 6-Marina, CA - Monterey

It's was an okay stay, weird vibes, initial room key was annoying-couldnt get in. Overall, don't believe what you see on its shown property photo. Property wasn't as inviting as the photo shown, definitely clean up property and get new plants, concretes and door matts are dirty.

It was clean and comfortable. We felt safe. The staff was great. The location is right off of hwy 1. You could walk to the beach.

The Marina Motel 6 is one of the best I have experienced in the chain. It is clean, well maintained, a 5 minute drive to Marina State beach, you can walk 1 minute to Denny's to eat, and the Walmart is a 1 minute drive away (or 10 minute walk). The property is 2 stories, with plenty of parking for vehicles. The rooms are compact, but clean. There is no daily housekeeping service, but if you want clean get additional towels, you go to the office, which is 24 hours, and friendly. Full maid service is for when you check out and they clean your room for new guests. You only get 2 small soaps (shower/sink), so no shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and no hair dryer (BYO.) There is also no mini-fridge. There is a desk and chair, a Full bed, clean sheets, 3 pillows, and the bed was comfy and not too hard or soft. There is HVAC for each room. It can get foggy and cold in Marina, so this is good. There is only sheets and a thin bed cover, so the heater is good. Small dogs are welcomed. Monterey is 15 minutes away by car. We spent time in Asilomar State Beach, Pebble Beach, Carmel, Monterey, and Seaside on this visit, all within 15 - 20 minutes drive. Pricing is dynamic, and the Monterey Peninsula has many events, so plan ahead. I booked 3 rooms about a month before coming down, and got $95/room. But when I checked back a week later for that time (mid-late August) the same rooms were going for $800/night!! due to the crush of Concours D'Elegance, aka Car Week (2 weeks in August).

It's like a hostel with price of a hotel

The room was clean, updated and spacious.
