    The amenities were very basic there is no microwave, no hair dryer, no iron. I made sure there was at least a fridge before checking in but there nothing else, maybe some hangers. It wasn’t bad. The shower worked well. there was a TV. And I like the back light on the headboard. That made for a good nightlight. The biggest issue was sound. Thankfully, I had quiet neighbors so that helped a lot, but if I had noisy neighbors, it would have been a very different experience. You can hear the freeway from your room. You can hear literally everything outside of the room. There is a gap between the wall, where all of the sound comes in. Again I got very, very lucky that my neighbors were quiet. But if you’re looking for any kind of soundproofing, you’re really going to need solid noise canceling headphones. Like I said, overall, not bad, but if your neighbors are noisy, you will have an issue.

    Upon entering, we immediately noticed a very strong musty, moldy odor. While the room appeared clean, the bathroom was not stocked with shampoo or conditioner. The situation worsened when we turned on the air conditioning; the mold smell intensified significantly, and the unit itself appeared as though it had not been cleaned for a long time. Within an hour of being in the room, I experienced an allergic reaction resulting in an itchy throat and sneezing. Due to these conditions, I would not choose to stay at this property again without first inspecting the room to ensure it is in better condition.

    Not a bad room for a quick night stay. But I wouldn’t want to stay more than one night. It is conveniently located off highway 8 and light rail, which also means there’s a bit of noise, but not the worst I’ve ever heard. The the motel is in fairly decent shape, but nothing to ride home about. And there are next to no amenities. By that I mean, refrigerator or coffee maker in the rooms. The bed is somewhat comfortable. The pillows are horrible.

    I have stayed here previously and enjoyed the one front desk agent who has a little girl, but everyone else is some of the worst people I have come across in my life. A young, incompetent girl was hired who cannot speak correctly or listen and feels like the only ploy she has for retort is to be rude to people when the property has an issue. DO NOT STAY HERE; you will regret it! There is another Motel 6 down the street in La Mesa that is cleaner, nicer, and all around run by better staff. Plus there are better places across the freeway and really better priced than this place.

It was serviceable, although we did have to bring our own shampoo and body wash for a more comfortable shower. The only real complaint was that the vending machine needs some maintenance. The numbered items are mixed up, and we tried getting some Oreos but the machine did not allow us to make the purchase. Other than that, this place was alright in my book.

    I was completely uncomfortable staying another second there because of another guest staying there was watching us the entire time. He watch me and my daughters off load our vehicle and every time we came out of our room to get something from the car he’d stare at us. He was shirtless with tattoos all over his body. Even went as far as following us to the front desk. So I drove off and called the front. They were unable to refund me even though I explained what was going on. The front desk person just offered to walk me back to my room. Hopefully they will refund me however she told me they can’t then again offered to walk me to my room. That wouldn’t help me and my daughters if we were abducted. This is very sad.

She said the next time, they will "take care of us", whatever that may mean. I just smile knowing that it was irrelevant as we would not be back. Wife bitten more than a dozen times more than likely by bedbugs, though she did not relize this until a few days later after check out.

    Everything seemed to go OK until the night before I left and at midnight, there was a lot of noise going on outside. And then when I checked out the clerk at the front desk, seem to get angry at me because I dropped the room key on the desk. Accused me of throwing it at her which I did not. Period she continued on about the whole thing even after I apologized to her. I am an older person, 81, and I feel that I was treated unnecessarily with disrespect.

    Called early in the morning before b9oking reservation to make sure we had an early check in accomodation. Recepptionist said there was no problem, come after 10am and we can check you in afte housekeeping gets there at 9am but failed to mention there is an early check in fee of 30$. I got to the hotel and I had already booked for 2 nights thought all I had to do was check in...different rwceptionist had to ask manager to overide fee, im grateful for that but staff was rude kept asking me why I wanted to talk to a manager had me wait till about 10:45 to check in....off to a bad start. Got to my room, had not even used the facilities yet and water was seeping out of the floor boards in the bathroom. Staff refused to give me a differnt room because they told me every room had the same problem and if I moved they would have to clean that one so it was a waste....it was the worst experience I have ever had staying at any hotel, UNSANITARY...UNPROFESSIONAL. Didn't a refund because of an issue with my 3rd party reservation, and so I had to stay in this room or risk not getting my money back, was a bad experience. Staff was rude and tried to say I lied about the condition of the room. Maintenance was not available so they send a housekepeer to look at the problem. She determined it was from mopping the room earlier that day....it was definitely not the issue and so I had no choice but to stay, I was gonna lose 160$ or only get deposit back...horrible experience.

    Cold shower temperature for the $253.00 I paid for 2 night that includes the $69.99 dollars for the deposit. Also, I spoke the front desk about this and wanted to only be charged one night. To find another place to stay where I could take a comfortable shower for the amount I pay. Which she said since it’s past the check out time I could not do so. Then I asked if I could be compensated a discount for the poor services. Which she replied the owner is out of town but I can get back to you. The next day when I was checking out of the Motel 6, she says no discount could be given when she checked with her management.

    I got a room for two nights. I really liked the property, the rooms were clean and up to date. The bed was nice to sleep on. I originally did not have an issue until front desk called my room on my second night for a “noise complaint”. At first I thought it was because of my dog because he barked twice, but it was actually because my neighbor below me couldn’t sleep because of my heavy footsteps. I came back to the property around midnight. As I was settling to go to bed I get a call from the front desk because our neighbor below us had called and complained hearing footsteps and the door opening and closing. The front desk explained that the walls are thin and that you can hear everything. Like yes, I understand that but again, you’re at a motel. These things are kind of expected. Don’t stay at a motel if these type of things bother you. The audacity to tell me to “keep it down” when all I’m doing is just walking from the bathroom to the bed tells me that I shouldn’t stay at this property again.

Check in took about 20 minutes and you had to stand outside to check in at a window. When I complained about the cleanliness the next day, the gal wasn’t very happy with me. She had the maid come to the room and she was VERY unhappy! Mopped the floor in front of the toilet and called it clean. The sheets were thread bare. Won’t ever stay here again.

    3/5

    It gets the job done, as they say. Location is central to a lot, it's in a lower price range, parking on site, and it has the basic amenities. But it's not a comfortable bed, there is freeway noise all hours (not terrible but just to make note), and stench of what smells like cheap cleaning products is almost stifling until you air out the room (windows do open). And $120 is not nothing. So it does the job, but it's not super cheap

    Friendly staff & relatively quiet surroundings. Room had plenty of space. Only negative was the bed was very firm & a could be a bit uncomfortable for some.
