It's an older Motel 6. The door seal has worn out. You can see through the edges of the locked door. To flush the toilet, you have to remove the cover and pull the chain in the tank. Parking spaces are made for SMART cars not SUV's. The place is clean just worn. It's what you would expect from an older Motel 6.

Stayed here 2 nights for a baseball tournament. Great budget hotel close to everything. Staff was helpful and enjoyed the laundry facility onsite. Things that could be better: air conditioning in room seemed to be working but airflow wasn’t the best and there was no iron or microwave in the room.

I stayed at Motel 6 for a week. Overall, the place looks clean at first glance, but it doesn’t feel thoroughly cleaned.The bedding appeared clean on the surface, but I did notice some hair on the sheets, which made it uncomfortable to sleep.
The staff was generally very nice and helpful. Whenever I needed assistance, they were polite and reprogrammed my room keys when they stopped working. However, the key cards kept getting deactivated, even after I was careful with them, which was inconvenient throughout the stay.

Housekeeping came about twice during my week-long stay, which was acceptable. However, I did have an issue with towels—my room was booked for four people, but we were consistently only given three towels, and I had to request an extra every time.Maintenance and cleanliness could be improved. The bathroom walls looked dirty, and the exhaust fan was heavily clogged with dust, which was unpleasant. While the room may have been cleaned on the surface, it needs a deeper level of cleaning and maintenance.

Parking was good with plenty of space available.
The pool area, however, was disappointing. It had visible dirt and leaves, and the furniture looked dusty and poorly maintained.Overall, the staff was kind and doing their best, but the property itself needs more consistent deep cleaning and better upkeep. It feels like it meets the basic expectations of a budget motel, but not much beyond that.

Room 151. AC was extremely loud.
Had to turn off, then hot and couldn’t sleep.
Asked young man at front desk to have it serviced in the morning.(he wouldn’t give his name.)
Not corrected on second day.
Card key failed to open door multiple times, your guest in 256 had similar card key problems.
Plaster at tub/shower was spalling.
Motel needs much repair.

Absolutely horrible front desk attitudes from two different people. AC and refrigerators don't work in most rooms which is because they don't care to fix up the place since they stay busy enough from desperate patrons. They are pathetic when they can charge over $150 for one night. Rooms were clean but that's it.

I definitely do not recommend this place. We got her 20 minutes before 3pm and was inform i was going to be charge $22 for early check in. I decided to wait out does 20 minutes by the time 3pm got here there was a line to check in. We got out room 3:20pm. The room are good size. We didn't have a remote control for the TV. As we called it in they send some with a control that did not work. They said it was nothing that they could do about it. They next day Mind you check out is at 11AM. House keeping knocking at our door at 10:15 AM REALLY THIS PLACE CANT ALLOW YOU TO CHECK IN A FEW MINUTES EARLY BUT KNOCKING BEFORE YOUR TIME IS RIDICULOUS

If you want to stay in a room with mold, smell, and dirt, along with the only amenities being two small bars of soap, and no cleaning service, then this hotel is for you. The worst hotel we have ever stayed in.

got in late. check in ok...but not very friendly.
it's a big motel and it's busy so was a bit noisy.
next morning i got up to shower and discovered zero soap.
called reception and was told to come pick it up ... pablo tried to help and seemed to support the customer service notion that the soap should be delivered to the customer's room...but the manager had a different concept of customer service...she felt it was quite appropriate to expect the customer to get dressed, go all the way to reception and pick up the soap themself....
NOT MY IDEA OF CUSTOMER SERVICE!!
we had another reservation for 2 weeks time, so cancelled that and left.
WE WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE.

We were told no and to connect our equipment downstairs. Ridiculous and rude. We lost 5 days of not being able to do our work! We were going to stay another week but left and checked into another motel with the promised emenities!

Spent two nights there on a very busy, full weekend. There are around 175 rooms here, so the place is big. And on this weekend, noisy with kids. All the staff were great and very helpful. The room was fine. I was hoping for a mini fridge with a freezer compartment but it had none. And for the entire complex there was one ice machine, which was broken. So that was a drag. (One ice machine for 175 rooms?) There was no printed guide to amenities or policies in the room, just a laminated brochure with a QR code link that provided no site-specific information and limited other information. There were no privacy drapes, only blackout drapes, so either there was full view of my room to whoever walked by or I was in darkness. Again, it was fine but nothing special.

Didn't stay here for the amenities or the prestige. It was solely a budgetary decision. Motel 6 serves that purpose when the other places were more than 2 times the price for just a quick stop. Room was ok but showed some abuse from years of service. Windows were tough to open and showed signs of moisture issues. Mold? The door had obviously been kicked in at one time in it 35+ years of service. Again, the Motel served its purpose just fine for the quick stay.

The front desk staff was not knowledgeable about the facilities, could not answer or would not answer simple questions and were neither cheerful nor helpful. When I asked to see the manager, the front desk staff reluctantly called her. The manager (Mandie? Maggie?) stepped in helpfully and was able to resolve several of the problems.

The room was adequate if spare. The bed was fine and refrigerator was good size, although it had no freezer compartment. There might be close to 100 rooms and only one microwave. It is located near the front office and, predictably, smells of everyone else's food.

The location is fairly convenient to the freeway and I could not hear great noise from my room in the back building. The price was okay but considering the modest amenities and service, I would not call it a particularly good deal.

No hot water until checkout day, but at least I got one solid, well-earned shower out of the visit.

The room was impressively clean above knee level, which really highlights where the team focuses their efforts. There was also an interesting collection of “mystery items” under the bed, but I am happy to report no clowns or anything too alarming.

The bed itself was incredibly interactive. I really got to know the springs on a personal level.

Only part of the room had a noticeable cat pee aroma, which was easy enough to work around once identified.

The front desk staff were genuinely fantastic. Some of the friendliest people you could ask for and easily the highlight of the stay.

At the end of the day, Motel 6 promises to leave the light on for you. While it was a bit dim, they technically delivered. 5 stars.
