Clean room. Helpful front desk but the floors either didn’t get dusted in my room or their floors have a ton of dust and sand on them so I would not walk barefooted. Bed isn’t too comfy either but you pay for what you get. The Air conditioner does run cold thankfully.

Our brief 2 day stay was fine. Everything in the room was clean and worked including the AC, bathroom, bed, etc. Nothing fancy but we only needed a functional place to stay. Was conveniently located next to the 405 and various fast food options. Allowed pets was another key reason we selected.

Staff was Great. The Manager at the front desk was Great I can’t remember his name though.
The room looked great it the recent remodel however the beds were HORRIBLE and the bed frame is super loud metal everytime you move it’s very loud.Room wasn’t very clean and the icing on the cake was when we came back to the Hotel after spending all day in Laguna my daughter went into the room and turned the lights on and there was Cockroaches running around. Absolutely disgusting.
Guess I should have checked reviews prior to booking this stay. Also You guys at hotels dot com really don’t do a good job for keeping this place available through your app. Go read this places Google reviews. HORRIBLE! This place shouldn’t even be an option on your app. The Vagabond in across the street shouldn’t either because that place was infested with cockroaches.

Overall the stay was good and it was very convenient traveling with 2 dogs. The remote for the TV was confusing and had to call the front desk for help as there was a code that was needed to be able to access things. Also there were telephones in the room but they did not work. I had to look up the phone number and call from my cell phone to get help. It would be nice if there was a list with basic hotel information, including using the TV.

The rooms are pretty cheap and basic and great for a quick stay, and very close to the beach. Definitely not a 5 star, but it'll get the job done. The only complaint that I do have is that they do not do daily cleans. I've never stayed at a motel where they didn't come and clean the room while you're away, and I was quite annoyed when we returned from the beach and room hadn't been cleaned. I took my own trash downstairs and went to the desk to grab more towels, but other than that the stay was ok. Tons of food spots in the area and pets stay for free. You get what you pay for. 😁

If you are used to staying in a clean, quiet pest free environment, this is not the location to choose for your stay. If you have a room located near the parking lot, you will be disturbed. During my stay, I found a cockroach in the bathroom. Which I had to kill with my shoe (see photos).

Got there 20 minutes before check in after a long day ask if there was rooms ready and could I check in now. The clerk said check-in is at three. Yes, there is rooms ready but will cost you $25 cash if I want to check in early. Never have I seen that before seemed very very shady. When checking out it lady on the screen and kept malfunctioning got me frustrated and walked out.
The room was clean, but only provided two small thin towels…..no wash rag no hand towels, and no shampoo or conditioner, only proved 2 small baby bars of Hotel 6 soap. Really was hoping to wash my hair.

DONT STAY AT THIS DISGUSTING PLACE!!!! This place is disgusting dirty with roaches all over the place. The smell of the room is horrible. We had to sleep with the windows open because the smell was giving us a headache, Staff is not helpful at all once I told her we had roaches. She didn’t seem surprised. She didn’t even wanted to give us a refund. The place is falling apart. walls are super nasty with lots of stains. This place is not worth paying more than $10 per night. The beds are super uncomfortable. It’s like sleeping on the floor. False advertisement on the pictures. I will never recommend anyone to stay there and let’s not talk about the towels. The towels have stains pubic hairs on them they stink and they are super old and small. I paid $125 for one night. This place is not worth this at all. The shower is super dirty. The toilets are not clean. We had to go buy cleaning supplies to wipe down the stuff that’s how disgusting this place was. Don’t waste your time specially your money.

Room had no mini refrigerator…it appeared that person above our room lived there…and sounded like they were moving furniture all night…could not get descent rest. But it gets worse…the next morning went to office to get my $60 cash deposit back. The employee said I would have to come on Tuesday to get it. I said it was cash and how could they not have it. He responded by saying they had no cash on premises it was all in the safe. I asked him to call his superior because on didn’t live near and couldn’t come back. He said there was no on he could call and he couldn’t do anything about it. By this time I was irritated and started to raise my voice. In a very condescending tone he told me to lower my voice and talk about it. I did exactly that but he refused to address the problem. I raised my voice again and he finally called someone…after the call he went to the register and “miraculously” took out the cash and returned my deposit. This was completely unprofessional and this mad was a joke. I don’t know what his plan was to keep someone’s cash deposit for a couple days but it sounds very sketchy. Will never return to this shady establishment.

I have stayed at other Motel 6 locations and had good experiences. Unfortunately, this was not one of them. had to be in Costa Mesa for a few days, so I figured I’d take a budget hotel option. I wasn’t expecting deluxe accommodations, but this did not even rise to that level. My room had a strong, foul odor. It smelled like someone was trying to cover up cigarette smell with perfume or air freshener. Every time I opened the door, the smell hit me in the face. The room didn’t have any “do not disturb” signs. There was a weird, sticky patch on the floor by the fridge, like it was leaking. I asked for housekeeping during my stay, but never got it. The most uncomfortable part was that on the morning I checked out, I was approached by drug users in the parking lot. I did not feel safe at all after that. I would never stay here again and frankly would like some or all of my money back. Totally inadequate experience.

Our room was a mess. Flooring was damaged and much of it covered with duct tape. Parking was inadequate. Other guests were scary. Feng Shui was horrible. Unfortunately we arrived late and had an early morning appointment for which we needed to rest. So we did not have time to hunt for another hotel. We booked 2 nights and checked out after 1 . We barely slept. No staff on duty in the morning to complain to. Just some virtual terminal that did not acknowledge my complaint or issue a statement that we had checked out early.
