Room was clean and thankfully didn’t smell like smoke! Only unfortunate part about our room was the light above the bathroom mirror didn’t work but other than that, the room did the job and I felt safe being there with my family. Would stay again!

For the price we paid, it was awful. They said we requested a handicap unit? Which we didn't need, the bathroom felt like a jail cell. Would never stay there again.

The air conditioner was covered in dust and cobwebs, there was mucus on the wall, and the bathroom was dirty and smelled bad; the towels reeked of chlorine and the doors were dirty. The receptionist was rude, and money was stolen from me—even though I had already paid Expedia. It is a low-quality hotel; I have photos showing how dirty it was.

This hotel was a level up from camping. There were at least 2 cars that appeared as though people were living in them, and they looked sketchy. Heavy footed people were walking upstairs and we heard every step. The AC unit couldn't be plugged in bc the prongs did not line up with the outlet. The toilet seat was broken and kept sliding. Walls were dingy and in the morning, we found a dead cochroach in the corner; I was done. Thank goodness it was only for 1 night/passing through. Can't believe a place like this goes for over $200 a night.

The room we rented wasn’t even fully clean, the bathroom shower, trash, and ice bucket had moldy peach pits, used toilet paper, and chew spit in the ice bucket. The bed was the only thing obviously clean. By the time I checked in, late at night, I was already too tired to make a complaint and I reluctantly climbed into bed, only to hear a fire alarm and a bunch of water rushing within the hour.
The room next to me was flooding and pouring out over the balcony into the parking lot. 2 hours of listening to them try to shut it off, running up and down the hallway, the 3 fire engines showing up by the end, and the loud metal clanging. I finally got back to sleep at 4 am and then had to wake up at 10 am to get the hell out of this place.
I’m so happy to be almost home.

The lady who checked me in though was super sweet so she was the only saving grace of all of this.

Check-in was smooth, very helpful and friendly staff. Our room was small (we checked into a two double bed) and reeked of old cigarette smoke. We brough our two dogs with us and it was just too cramped for comfortability. After settling in, we noticed floors, headboards, and shower were dirty. After leaving (early), we didn't realize we were sleeping with cockroaches for the quick night we were there. Please stay at your own risk.

We even talked to the owner named Rosay Singh but no resolution. She was rude and didn’t seem to care . I will like to get a full refund as it was the worst experience ever. I have been with Expedia for awhile but didn’t have motel 6 services before.

Staff was very nice! Room was clean but the bed was so squeaky, even if you made the most minimal movement. There was also a pretty sizeable gap between the door and the frame, it looked like the door may have had some water damage because of the bend in the door. Someone outside the room was smoking pot and it was able to enter the room by both the gap in the door and the air conditioning unit. Overall even though the front desk lady was very nice, won’t be staying here again.

The walls in the restroom need a deep cleaning, especially the narrow wall facing inward. The light over the sink was not working. The gracious clerk immediately changed our room. The walls are very thin could hear people using stairs and all car alarms. Only a small bar of soap and towels available, no frills, morning coffee in the office. The Watsonville location is near many restaurants and Highway #1.

While this was the cheapest lodging option in the town i was staying in, the condition of the place & lack of amenities will tell why it is. The garbage can was tiny and had to take the rest of my trash to the dumpster. I couldnt wait to get out of this place. Wouldn't recommend this place even this was the only option in town for lodging.

Good stay, you get what you pay for

It was okay. It’s a motel 6 so you get what you pay for, either way it was simply a place to sleep for us and it worked out. I’ve heard pretty bad horror stories from other Motel 6 experiences so this one seemed great in comparison. The receptionist was nice enough to get us into another room because the other room had a broken toilet. I’m happy with the outcome and I’m glad that we didn’t have any crazy poor experiences with the room. Our situation was a little bit unique in the way that the Motel 6 in Salinas tried to scam us by doubling the price for half the amount of time. I’m more thankful that this motel 6 did not do the same to take advantage of travelers during the very busy “Monterey Car Week”.

Wanted a budget motel for a quick stopover on a roadtrip, and ended up being impressed by the overall cleanliness and spaciousness of our room. I should have upgraded to a room with a microwave and fridge for a couple of bucks, but other than that, bed was comfortable, sheets were crisp and clean, we were able to take a bath, and there was a little seating area we were able to eat a quick meal at. The only downside was that the walls were fairly thin, so depending on others you may be in for a loud night. Luckily our neighbors were only loud in the evening and morning and we were able to have a quiet, restful night. Check in/out process was quick and easy.
