PLEASE DON’T STAY HERE!! There was a leaking sink, VERY dusty floors, a very old AC system, and a very pungent stink in the room upon entry. I suggest looking at Red Roof Inns or Best Western hotels instead.

We were able to check in a bit early, which was nice because we had to be at a wedding from 2p-7p. Room is clean. Walls are thin, you can hear every footstep and every time someone in the adjoining rooms runs water or flushes a toilet. Neighborhood feels a bit sketchy, but not the fault of the property. We just need a place to sleep for the night after the wedding, so it was fine.

The General Manager is extremely rude. We stood there to check in for at least 5 minutes before she came out aha said she didn't know where the worker was. Don't know why she couldn't check us in.
The front check in person was nice.
The shower was awful. Water everywhere when I got out. Small and a bit closterphobic. Only good thing was watery got hot. Lots of very loud people at 4am.

When Family Visited From Out of Town

I had family coming for a visit and due to lack of room in my apartment, I got them a motel room. Motel 6 was accommodating, clean, and quiet. The time that was spent in the Motel 6 room was little, but they both commented on the fact of how quiet it was and that they got a lot of sleep.

I told the GIRL at the front desk my room had cockroaches (I wasn't even there and hour)I wasn't going to stay in a filthy room and she refused to give me back my money back or try to compensate me in any way. I had asked to speak to the manager and she refused to try to contact her or give the the contact information. Please remove this motel from your website because it's infested with bugs and you are going to get bad reviews from people who aren't happy with their stays there. Also the mattress was filthy down near where the streets cover it. It looks like a bed bug infestation but I wasn't there long enough to sleep.

The night clerk was rude and spiteful. He couldn't find the reservation, gave us the wrong room, wouldn't put our two rooms together telling us 3 people had checked in...but it was midnight and MAYBE 1 person came in. But no one had the adjacent rooms the whole time we were there. THEN tried to blame us for everything! (The day clerk was nice.)

The hotel looked like it had been through a war. Water was backward...to turn it off, it had to turned past the scalding hot water. The a/c was barely adequate.

The location was the ONLY redeeming quality.

Not a great place to stay

My daughter and I had a room with two beds. One of the beds had an imprint where the mattress was sagging. The shower floor was disgusting. There was no toilet seat cover. There were holes on the front door where it appeared a lock had been previously. The room could use a coat of paint. We were also warned about a man that has been acting strange and lurking around at night.

For the second time since made the mistake of reserving at this hotel. I wanted to give them a second chance but still the same problem. They made me wait over an hour for my room. That said that was not ready and that they didn’t had any more rooms to accommodate me so I’m had no choice. I ask for a discount on the room because they had me waiting in my car but “Nothing “. But i guess that “ You get what you pay for”

The room smelled so much of cigarettes and pot, it was almost unbearable. Burn marks all over floor and shower. Shower was tiny. Room had clearly been broken into at some point, on the door where the bolt lock is was completely dented in. However, probably the best pillows I have had in a hotel in a long time.

Sadly price hikes due to local event meant this was the lowest priced. Check in was easy, but the location was right off the exit do was noisy and homeless hung around the back of the parking lot. The room was clean but it smelled like old smoke. You could tell it used to be a smokers room. Everything worked fine and towels were clean. Bed was old, but no bugs.

Property and room is fine for just going to sleep and getting up and out. I had no complaints in that regard. It wasn't much for comfort, but it served its purpose. It's not a hotel for hanging out or for more than a couple nights. It actually felt a little like a nice prison. It was clean, but smelled so strongly we had to air it out for an hour. I would stay again though because it's cheap and didn't charge for dogs. There was nothing strikingly offensive. It was just fine.

Will never stay at another Motel 6 again. The check in went smoothly and the employee was very pleasant. Decent start; but then I opened the door to the room and was hit by a seriously foul odor. I step into the room and could feel the dirt crunch on the floor. No fridge, no microwave, and two micropillows that Temu would be ashamed to sell. The shower curtain only covered 75% of the showers opening and resulted in a puddle on the floor 10 minutes into my stay. Sound from the property, like doors slamming and other occupants arguing permeated our room the entire night. The toilet screeches like a mandrake root with each flush. It didn’t matter whether it was our toilet that flushed or the neighbors. Fast forward to midnight when I took the dog out for a bathroom break. A “resident” tried to invite us into his room for drugs and drink. If anyone is going to come to Atascadero, there are way way nicer hotels for just $10 more per night.

Do not stay here

This place is very run down. We checked in at 0200 we woke up the clerk working. Only thing he said was id? And card to pay. Then gave a key and walked away. I had no idea what room we had our where it was. I had to find out written on the key and find a map in the lobby. Half the parking outside was roped off and nothing by the room. When we walked in The door had multiple holes from where the lock had been moved. Usually because the door had been kicked in. The table where the tv was located was coming off the wall and was broken. The bed had what looked like cigarette burns on the comforter. Multiple places paint was chipped or coming off the wall. The bathroom had blood splatter on the wall. Outside was construction where part of the second floor walkway was missing where the wood was rotted. Horrible parking.

When I checked into my room I noticed it was very cold. I turned on the heater but had to leave because I was going to visit my son in Monterey, 105 miles away. That was at 2:30 pm. When I got back to the room at appox. 9:30pm, I noticed the room was even colder. I felt the vent to see if heat was flowing. No heat. I went to call the front desk but the phone wasn't working. I tried the TV to watch the election results. The TV was not working. I went to the front desk. The person behind the desk stated that nothing worked because they were renovating. I asked for another room but all rooms had no heat,TV or phone service. I went back to my room to find another hotel at 10:30 at night. I found one,then went to the front desk person and stated this was totally unacceptable. I asked for a refund. He had to ask his manager but didn't sound hopeful. Not very happy Expedia. You should have checked this hotel before my booking. I don't think I can use you again.

I reserved a non-smoking room weeks ahead. When I arrived, at 9:30 pm, I was told they “only had smoking rooms, but it was pretty clean.” I explained I had reserved non-smoking. I was told I could take the room or leave. I called Expedia. Spoke to customer service and a manager. All they could offer me was a credit on my next booking. I asked to be placed in another hotel. I was told that “since I didn’t cancel a day ahead, I couldn’t get a refund.” How could I have know “a day ahead” they were putting me in a smoking room? The room smelled like an ashtray. There were holes in the wall. The walls were dirty. There was “caution” tape outside my door because the railing had fallen off of the second floor. DO NOT stay here. I won’t be using Expedia again.

A well below average Motel 6 in cleanliness and comfort, which I can deal with. Then add the fact that they could care less about repeat business. Majority of hotel empty and they room everyone bunched together. Downstairs crackhead up all night and slamming their door every 30 minutes or so, after a cigarette. And when said crackhead finally left (I assume because its not like they went to sleep) a ladder is put up to roof above me and they start working at 8:30am. Then the little stuff like the old trick of having a random/wrong TV Remote in the room that they know you won't change out at the office the first night because you're to tired upon arriving. You then return it the next day and they're \"baffled?\" Then I return to my room and my key-card doesn't work so I had to get it re-coded. And finally, the bed was not a good bed like Motel 6 usually has.
