We had a surprisingly good experience staying at this motel. We only stayed one night but was happy with the stay. Only thing I would say is that while the motel room had an ada compliant bathroom, the bed was too high to be ada compliant. I had a hard time climbing into the bed. But all the other ada amenities were great. Final compliant is the fresh paint on the bathroom door made the door difficult to open. It was very sticky and I had to use a lot of my weight to open it.

Cold AC that drowned out the very loud planes overhead reallyhelped. Room was clean and beds were comfortable.
However, the area does not feel safe and will probably not stay here again. Not because of the way I was treated or the room condition but more because of the surroundings and having children at this location.

The room was clean for the most part, except for a dead roach on the floor AFTER room service was already in to clean. Found out in the middle of the night that where the AC connects to the wall is a hole big enough for a mouse to come through.

The staff were great with what they have to work with, but the property itself has a lot of issues. Condemned units, broken ACs, mold growing from the ice machine. This is not the motel 6 that homeless love to frequent or last minute partiers frequent (that would be on 4th or 5th), this is more the hotel 6 that people who get stranded at the airport settle for. With that been said, kids and a couple seniors were enjoying the pool, i was safe and slept fine. If you happen to be a family on a budget and deciding if you can afford to visit SD and this is the best option you have within buget just do it. It’s the memories that stay with you in the long run, not hotel.

Great value for the location. Although it’s under the airplanes landing and next to the rail line, it’s one of the nicest M6 I’ve stayed at. The room I had was remodeled, beautiful shower, nice beds, and comfortable mattresses. I’d definitely stay here again if I need a budget motel in downtown SD. But the airplanes are loud outside, I think the room had good insulation, considering the planes are right above the motel. They even gave us complimentary ear plugs, lol!

If your a light sleeper this property is very close to the airport. Bottom of the doors dont have any kind of barrier and let a lot of sound in. We sleep with a sound machine but that didnt block out the noise of the planes. Room was fine. Top comforter was stained. Floor seemed clean but upon wiping after a spill it was not at all. Lights next to bed didnt work nor did the USB plugs. We need more towels at one point and were told they would be available after 730p because they were washing them. We asked about 1p. Gave 2 stars for purpose of shelter, proximity to attractions, and safety but would not stay again.

Clean room, comfortable bed and close proximity to the airport were just what I needed after a flight delay resulted in an unexpected overnight stay. The rooms are spartan, amenities very limited, and extremely noisy location with no soundproofing. I did not feel particularly safe there as a single woman, especially given that the desk clerk was locked in the office behind a plexiglass window when I arrived and I had to walk across a dark parking lot by myself at midnight. Desperate times call for desperate measures and a room was available when I needed it but, if you can plan ahead, I am sure you can do better!

The room smelled strongly of cleaning products upon entry. I realized later that this was masking the smell of dog which permeated the room. The floor was so dirty that my feet were charcoal grey after a few minutes of walking in the room.
On the other hand, the shower, bedding, toilet, and towels were all very clean. The airplane noise (from being directly under the flight path for landing planes) isn't bad in the rooms. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, especially the guy who checked us in. We didnt use the pool but it looked fine. I guess with the rates being what they are, you get what you pay for.

Comments noted in other reviews were the scent of the cleaning products used, yes, they were strong, but did fade. Air traffic noise is going to be obvious due to the location.... bring earplugs. Otherwise, this was a very nice Motel 6!

This motel needs a face lift. Adding some color to the walls would go a long way. All white rooms look so drab.

Better than expected the room smelled like it had been recently cleaned . The interior was decent modern not outdated. The AC worked great and it wasn't noisy. The planes due fly in consistently but doesn't affect unless your a light sleeper. The area is isolated but very near metro and tourist areas . Don't go by the reviews some are just not true or had a bad day for whatever karen reason. It not a Hilton but it definitely not a mala muerte = cheap motel. It good for a few days I stayed 3 and it was perfect. Price was a little high but I guess it because I went during spring break and they provide warm coffee in morning wish they provided snack or other amenities for the price. No homless in area though back walkway is sketchy.
