What guests think

Travellers describe Motel 6-Santa Nella, CA - Los Banos - Interstate 5 as a basic roadside stop off I‑5, convenient for overnight stays, with often friendly staff but frequent freeway noise and noticeable wear across rooms and facilities.

Many guests report maintenance issues like weak or nonfunctional A/C or heat, sagging mattresses, and dated fixtures; the outdoor pool is repeatedly closed or empty. Cleanliness feedback is inconsistent, with some clean rooms but also strong chemical or smoke odors, flies or mosquitoes, and occasional pests. Expect a no-frills stopover suited to quick overnight stays.

Food is within walking distance. The pool is bone dry and awaiting maintenance or refurbishment...non-usable area for guests. The mattress in my room should have been changed out years ago. It was old, tired and worn out. There was a concave depression in it that made laying or sitting there uncomfortable. My room was in the section closest to the freeway. The freeway is right next door! The traffic noise is very loud. If you run your AC fan all night you can drown out the traffic (even Hwy 5 calms down to very little traffic after 12 - 1 am). The shower is a small little cubicle with a cloth curtain. It works fine...just very outdated. When I entered the room, I was immediately greeted by the flies that had taken up residence in this room. I spent the next hour with a washrag as a swatter. Every time I left for a while and then came back to the room, there were new flies to swat! I rented this room over the internet and I based the choice upon location and the pictures provided. If I had seen the location while physically there in Santa Nella, this would not be my choice.

Reserved room since I'm handicap I even confirmed with property management and they said not to worry that I would have a downstairs room and when I arrived for check in they gave my room to someone else. When finally got a room the Air Conditioner didn't not work mind u this is in summer time when temperatures are about 105 degrees. Lastly was expecting to go swimming and when arrived swimming pool was empty. So im never staying there again

Good place to stop, if you’re tired and just need a place to sleep. Room was clean and newly updated. No amenities and the pool is not operational. Freeway noise is load if you’re on that side of the building. Overall it was fine because I just needed a place to sleep and it was only $77.

The room was clean, except the showerhead was totally rusted at the base. Underneath the sink in the bathroom needs to be repaired and the light by the bed did not work. It needed the bulb to be replaced. There was no coffee pot or microwave. The hot water took a long time to get hot and then it almost scolded me. There was an old hamburger left in the refrigerator from McDonald’s and the truck traffic noise all night was like sleeping on the side of the freeway.

A/C doesnt work. Its 105 degrees outside when I checked in and room was even warmer. The little trickle of air did NOTHING for making the room useable. Opening window is not an option because the motel is in the middle of 4 truckstops plus freeway, impossibly noisy and diesel smell stinky.

The people we dealt with were very nice and had us checked in quickly. The room was clean and tidy. Unfortunately the bed was old and very uncomfortable making it impossible to sleep. The shower was small but there was plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The A/C worked well which was important because it was hot. The freeway noise is constant.

This was the worst place to stay I have ever experienced! The desk manager was very rude and disrespectful, also rooms reserved were not available and I had reserved a room a week in advance!! So many people rely upon reviews and all I have to say is Be Aware and stay away from this place find some place else more clean and safe. This place is not safe for your family and unsanitary!!

Asked for a ground floor room, away from street noise and we got it! This is a superior property, with good customer service. We'll stay here rather than properties further down the 5. We've stopped staying at several Motel 6 properties (Carlsbad, Button Willow, Oceanside) because of bad treatment and maintenance issues. I always call to confirm a ground floor room, for we senior citizens, and when one of us gets there, they haven't honored the written or verbal request. Or their promise! And I get lies and inconsisten stories from staff. But, we'll book into this property again. Please take a lesson from the managers of this property and teach it to others.

Food is within walking distance. The pool is bone dry and awaiting maintenance or refurbishment...non-usable area for guests. The mattress in my room should have been changed out years ago. It was old, tired and worn out. There was a concave depression in it that made laying or sitting there uncomfortable. My room was in the section closest to the freeway. The freeway is right next door! The traffic noise is very loud. If you run your AC fan all night you can drown out the traffic (even Hwy 5 calms down to very little traffic after 12 - 1 am).
