Each time I go, it seems bad though it’s getting worse and worse. This time for my 4 night stay… the ice machine didn’t work. When asking for an additional ice bucket I was told they didn’t have anymore and gave me a trash bag instead… turns out i didn’t need it because the machine was broken. They should comp us some way… maybe like free laundry or something…

Good value for the price, but facility is bare bones basic. Water from bath was not quite hot enough for my preference but acceptable in the end and could not get even any local stations on the TV so that's a Zonk... Large property on and even larger lot with a Denny's, McDonald's and gas station so location is convenient. Front Desk is behind a glass window, large notice posted in the office against Human Trafficking, local police regularly parolled the lot during my 12 hour stay and the in-house security guard is armed. All of the above is a good / protective thing but apparently there has or is shady activity that's occurred / occurs more than occasionally but I never felt unsafe. Facility well maintained and staff (including security very helpful and friendly) I'm a single guy out--of-towner on a low budget who just needed a stay overnight to rest up for the 7 hour drive back home Met basic expectations and I would definitely recommend the facility for someone in similar circumstances as mine but for a family / couple / those who want better amenities/atmosphere you'll probably want to lodge elsewhere a few levels up...

They told me on the phone I could leave my car there for a while after staying 2 nights because I’m a truck driver and I won’t be back for a while. Then I get there and they said no. I would have to book the hotel with the room empty in order for my car to be parked there which is insane. I would’ve booked another hotel that would’ve charged me $10 a night for parking if they didn’t lie to me over the phone. I did laundry there and someone took my clothes out of the dryer so that they could save $2 so I had wet clothes before going to the truck I had to drive across the country. Grimey people there that don’t have consideration for others.

The motel is at a great location, they just need to maintain the rooms. Even though they renovated, they need to up keep them. It seems like the rooms were renovated 7-10 years ago. The staff were nice. But as I was checking out a staff member was cleaning the lobby and using raid like it was a air freshener. There was a bunch of random people just chilling in their cars too and park at the motel property. Also our no smoking room smelled like weed.

Was very dirt inside and outside of the motel. Grease and dirt on the out side and inside of the bathroom door, literal garbage bags full of trash 10 feet from the room. Room smell like cigarettes really bad had to go buy some lysol, Cigarette burns all over. No cable/satellite, A/C didnt wor. Buttons were shoved in to the point you could see the conntrol board. Looked at a different room, it was just as bad. Stayed only 4 hours and left, got a nicer place for like 7 bucks more.

This place is so filthy. Next to the toilet roll dispenser in the bathroom in room 200 there was visible fecal matter attached to the wall next to the air conditioner on the right side of the front wall. Someone spit on the wall and it was still attached to the wall. The floor was hairy and in the bathroom there were pennies on the floor. The bed was uncomfortable.

First room (107), the A/C stopped working, but they promptly found for me another comparable room (104). A/C in second room was a much newer model, and worked perfectly! Bathtub in both rooms could use refinishing. Beds were comfortable and firm. Large towels seemed dingy, so I made do with the smaller towels.

The room was terrible. A/C was broken, smoke alarm was broken, lamps were missing light bulbs, and the room smelled weird. Outside in the parking lot people were working on their car at -2am with power tools and yelling back and forth to each other from the parking lot to the rooms as well. Did not sleep a wink. I would recommend not staying here.

For the second time of me staying here. The front desk has let someone in my room. This morning around 4:30am a woman use a key card and opened my door while my children and I were sleep. Then the front desk called and questioned me. First off this is the second time they put my children and I in danger. I’m really disappointed in this motel. Then the girl at the front desk just tells me ok I’m sorry. I will have the manager talk to them tomorrow. Really tomorrow, where is your sense of urgency. I’m done with this motel.

I was moved into 3 different rooms! The first room was dirty and had an old smell, the front desk attendant was helping but seemed irritated. The second room didn’t have a remote or towels, the front desk attendant gave me the items but the remote still didn’t work he offered to move me into another room with an attitude. The last room was decent enough for me to sleep in after a long day of traveling and hardship.

I did like how close certain places where such as target , dennys, gas station, and the shopping center was close as well. The room could have been cleaner. Stains on towels, the bed sheets, and opened bar soaps left on the sink and shower which i can only assume were used. Thankfully there new bar soaps there already. Parking was not a problem and the receptionist that was there in evening and night was nice as well.

This was a basic Motel 6 experience. As they advertise, it was a very clean and moderately comfortable, inexpensive (for California, nearly $100/nite) room. The TV didn't work, but that was no problem. I was there to sleep. The room was very clean. The mattress was pretty old and either needed to be turned or replaced. But I slept well. Free morning coffee in the Lobby. Very BIG Motel 6 which had a McDonalds set right in the middle.
