Upon arriving we knew that something was not right. Police already in front of the hotel conducting some kinda of stop. Many people loitering in the parking lot. The smell of marijuana in the air and people hanging out in the parking lot. Despite this we got the room because we thought…we are only going to stay for the night ….and it was late. We proceeded to get the room and they assigned us to the first floor of the tower. We got our bags and decided to take the stairs since the elevator was slow. As we approached the first floor we encountered a homeless man rummaging through the trash can…another bad sign. Then after making my family enter into the first floor hallway…it look decrepid….dingy…paint peeling off the wall…it smelled and more smell of marijuana in the air. At this point we knew we couldn’t stay here…especially with children because we did not feel safe. Despite this we still checked out the room. From the minute or so we spent in the room we decided this place was not for us. We felt that we were “Catfished” and Expedia was helped to dupe us. We immediately left and put the luggage back in the car. It was crazy because this hotel was priced over $300 per night. I would not have paid $50 per night for this place. We sat in the rental car and struggled to find a place to stay as it was late and the majority of the hotels were sold out. We eventually found a place at 3 times the cost….but thought better safe than sorry.

The experience was borderline apocalyptic. I honestly thought, \"How bad could it be?\" We arrived after 11 pm and stayed about 10 minutes. Long enough to find another hotel. The \"security\" door to enter the building was broken and the fix was a dirty rag shoved into the space where the handle should be, the hallways were full of wet linens and trash, the whole building reeked of urine, from the elevator all the way into our room. The popcorn on the ceiling in the room was bubbled and had obvious signs of mold. I believe in affordable housing, but I also believe the public should know if the hotel they booked is multitasking as said affordable housing. Didn't even check out, we just left. It was ComicCom weekend, so we paid a price for this mistake, but there was no way I was staying. I wish I had photos to share. All I have is a video where I drop the F bomb way too may times for public consumption. We fully plan of filing formal complaints to both Motel 6 and Expedia for this experience. It was vile.

So I will say this… the property on the outside wasn’t all that great nor was it all bad. They had some sketchy people hanging outside (probably residents). Upon check-in the girl was very sweet and polite. I went to the room that I was assigned and I was not impressed with the cleanliness of the lobby in the second building nor was the elevator any better. I wasn’t so sure if they were redoing part of the property so I will not judge them harshly on that part. Now my hotel room had some very questionable signs (mold maybe). I went back downstairs and at this point the girl who checked me in was no longer there but some guy was there. When I told him the problem I had in my room he told me they were no room to move you into since they were full. I was not about to stay in a room who had potential mold (I have the pictures). I believe the overnight guy or manager happens to be around and heard my complain. He asked to see the room, he him took pictures and decided to switch me room. Per the front desk agent, I thought they were no more room available. Anyways the room I was switched too, didn’t have mold but the TV remote was not working. They send an engineer over with a replacement remote and still was not working. I was annoyed. The next day, the day shift engineer stopped by with a functional remote. So yay for that. It’s conveniently located near sea world. But I would say this, every Uber driver that picked me up had nothing nice to say about this location. Mix review

Best thing was our check in. We got in late after a gig. The desk clerk was on an 18 hour shift after replacing another worker that called in sick. He had our 7 rooms ready and was quick with check in.
It went down hill from there.
Room smelled weird, smelly, noisy a/c heating wall unit. Torn nagahide on the bench seat in my room. Outdated decor. Fitted sheet didn’t fit the bed. Dirty stairs up to our rooms. Noisy bathroom fan. Door jam into bathroom was rotted. Sketchy group hanging out accross the street from the motel.
Called front desk in morning for late check out. Very rude, hard to understand clerk. They didn’t have room numbers of the 7 band members even though they were all on my 1 reservation.
I understand motel 6 is a budget motel but cleanliness and friendliness should be a standard at ANY hotel/motel.

The door to my room was evident of a previous break in (paint off the door and bent door frame) the tv in my room was remoteless, the AC unit was unhelpful and just a noise machine, the towel holder in the bathroom was not actually fixed to the wall and fell off when I tried to put a towel on it. The fridge never got cool and my drinks were room temp for the stay. I know it’s a motel 6 but for the price I paid I would have been better off anywhere else in the hotel circle area.

I later found out this Motel 6 may is subsidized by the city to provide housing for local homeless residents. I actually think that’s a worthwhile use of public resources.

That said, paying customers shouldn’t have to accept a poorly maintained room. The toilet took two flushes every time, the microwave was missing, the smoke alarm had been removed, and neither bedside lamp worked.

Supporting an important community program and providing basic, functional accommodations to paying guests shouldn’t be mutually exclusive. Lastly,
$513.00 for three nights is not peanuts.

Worst MOTEL 6 ever. Possibly the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.

Thank God it was just one night.

No towels in the bathroom except one hand towel. Sad. Called front desk, they had no one there to bring any to me, even though I had stepped out of the shower and was wet, all I had was the one hand towel and then I had to get dressed to go get more towels right before going to bed. Sucked.

All the USB ports were broken so I couldn’t even charge up my phone which I needed to do. Clerk had no plug-in block but said “I could leave the phone there to charge at the front desk.” That would not work. Pfffft.

Saw a cockroach crawling down the wall. Killed it. Creepy and disgusting. Ugh.

Hallways were dirty, there was filthy hair and the orange cap from a medical syringe next to the elevator which was covered with badly peeling paint. Stairways were dirty.

I could never get on the Wi-Fi even with the correct password, it said I had to move closer to the equipment but that was not possible. Who knows where that was?

No place with food or snacks within walking distance.

Hotels.com couldn’t/wouldn’t do anything so I complained to the manager. He gave me a 50% refund which was adequate but unfortunately this has soured me on ever staying in another Motel 6.

If you have other lodging options, I recommend them instead of this property. Service wasn’t good. Staff wasn’t helpful or knowledgeable. The property itself was dated, tired and in serious disrepair. The seal on the entry door to my ground floor room was mostly missing. There were holes in the walls. The A/C - heating unit was erratic and in need of a complete overhaul. I never had a full towel set even after requesting them multiple times from the front desk. There were people hanging around outside my door in the parking lot. The only redeeming value was location of the property to freeways (I-8, I-5, CA-163). Completely tearing down and rebuilding the property is needed.

I recently stayed at Motel 6 San Diego and unfortunately had a number of concerns that made the stay less comfortable than expected.

The bathroom had mold on the ceiling, which made us avoid using the shower entirely because we didn’t want to activate it or breathe it in. The sink smelled strongly of eggs and was also clogged, which made using it unpleasant. Inside the room, the TV had a line across the top, suggesting it may be damaged, and the air conditioning unit was extremely loud, almost like a jet engine starting up.

There were a few positives: the fridge was very cold, which we appreciated, and the front desk staff were genuinely kind, especially when helping us check in early. We also loved that the property is pet friendly, since I always travel with my emotional support dog. The location was convenient and close to food and shopping.

However, the room setup wasn’t ideal. The desk area didn’t have a nearby outlet, so using a laptop required stretching a cord across the room. Parking was also difficult, it was crowded and felt unorganized. Assigning one spot per room or charging for additional vehicles might help prevent people from taking multiple spaces.

The exterior and the room itself were average, not the worst we’ve stayed in, but definitely in need of some updates and maintenance.

Overall, while the staff and pet friendly policy were great, the cleanliness issues and room conditions made this a two‑star stay for us.

Clean room, but smelled of cigarettes. There was ample parking. We witnessed what appeared to be a drug deal out of a room near the pool.
The guy renting the room next to ours, opened the interior connecting door on their side and started tapping on my interior door to get us to open it. My adult son told him no. A few minutes later he was knocking on our exterior door. We contacted the office and security responded very quickly. They let them know that was inappropriate and within minutes they were evicted. Office staff and security were very helpful in the situation, and because there were no other units available, they gave us a complete refund.

I was glad about their dog policy. It is a plus for us dog lovers who like to take our dog on trips. The area the motel is in was not bad but there were some shady people hanging around in the parking lot, especially later in the eve.
