On the second day, there were cockroaches in the bathroom and we found a spider in our bed. Hotel smells a lot of marijuana and there were a lot of \"interesting\" characters wandering around the property. Would not recommend for families with younger kids. The front desk staff were nice and helpful however.

This was probably the worst hotel or motel I’ve ever stayed at. For get about the fact that I think it’s drug motel it’s dirty outside as well as inside. I saw roaches in the hallway. The worst part was us trying to use the shower in the morning to leave and there was no water pressure at all. After calling the front desk and an hour later of back and forth they finally gave us keys to another room to shower. But instead of giving us a clean room they made us shower in a dirty room where someone had just checked out. The very worst experience for sure.

I never stay in any Motel 6's..because of the amenities..I stay there cause it will have a shower and bed..that's it..and it will be inexpensive...now this property seemed to be under new owners...the outside of property is very well lit..I think cause their are alot of shady characters walking around..being next to freeway, is also a little noisy...now the pool is large and plenty of chairs to relax on..the location is really why you stay here tho..very centralized to everything in San Diego...Malls, Zoos, restaurants, Sea World. Mission Bay...You can Uber anywhere..everything is 10 mile radius from each other..

Stuff for all their a friend knew the rooms were clean AC worked, but the wound did get a little bit hot. We are staying as soon as I checked in the water and all the rooms were turned off because there was a flood that happened in a few of the other rooms I got turned on about 2 to 4 hours later and it was OK. They did waive the deposit fee because of the inconvenience.

My TV kept going off so I wasn’t able to watch TV a whole lot. I had burn marks the size of a regular saucer bowl by the main sink and also in the restroom the AC/heater didn’t really perform at all. No, I’m not one to really complain about things, but I mean if you wanna up your game you’re gonna have to start making sure that these things are cool because everybody wants to watch TV. Everybody wants to run the heating and air-conditioning unit and nobody really wants black marks the size of a saucer bowl by the main sink or anywhere even in the room and I had them both places also by the bathroom or in the bathroom I like staying at the spot, but I did not like this room. This room was the worst one I’ve ever had. It was room 111.

First of all, the room was supposed to be a non smoking room but it smelled heavily of smoke. Mattress was squeaky and uncomfortable. The door was hard to close and lock. Police and EMS kept showing up on the premises for one reason or another.

I would not come back to thus hotell. The hallway and stair well smells like piss and puke. The room had a couple pieces of trash in it under the night stand and the tub had no way of stopping the water except for a wash rag. I ended up filling up 3 times in 15 to 20 minutes so I wasted a bunch of water.

Felt like a $150 a night crack house or homeless shelter. First room a/c was loud and inefficient, next room after change was below average, and sounded like a stampede above us through the night, all night. Doesn’t appear that motel 6 has a light to leave on!

The A/C worked fine. The room looks like it's been remodeled recently by someone without a contractors license. Bathroom door barely closed and when opened got caught on a raised portion of the floor. Hotel room doors don't just seem to let in noise from the hallway but applify it. TV studered the entire time we watched it. The worst part by far was the parking lot, people outside yelling at all hours of the night. Crack spoons on the ground. Homeless camped out nearby. Once it got dark we didn't leave the room at all. I would not stay at this hotel again even if it was free. I understand motel 6 is a budget place to stay but they should be ashamed to have this place in there hotel network.

We arrived well past check in time. The line to check in was out the door. We were told our room was ready. We went to our room and found bags of the previous stays garbage scattered around the room, trash all over the floor, diarrhea spray around toilet, a fetid smell in the room, ripped and filthy rugs, etc. We realize that Motel 6 is economy lodging and adjust our expectations accordingly. However, we draw the line at blatantly unsanitary conditions. We complained and left after Benjamen, the manager, promised a refund. Later on, both the Motel and Travelocity refused to refund our payment.

We were put in a room that wouldn't even qualify as basic. Had to walk over trash and a heavy heavy stink of pot smoke. the elevator was broken, the room didn't have the basics of ample towels, there was no soap and no shampoo, but that didn't matter, there wasn't hot water either. The hallway had a constant wet puddle to avoid. There were multiple screaming shouting fights, there were people yelling and screaming, with what sounded like a dog attack, TWICE, one time at 3:15 am!!!! AVOID THIS DISASTER AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!

The staff barely even greeted me at check in and check out. The door used to access the rooms, which requires a key was unlocked for anyone to enter. The room smelled like cigarette smoke but claimed they were non-smoking room. Upon check out the only elevator stopped working and I had to carry my 5 month old daughter down the stairs in her stroller along with all my luggage. Definitely do not recommend staying here.

The elevator was filthy and it still travelled up a bit when the door was open. Also, the last time it was posted as certified was 2018 (supposed to be annual). The 3rd floor hallway was also filthy and smelled of mildew. The room floor needed to be swept, the microwave had dried food on the top, one bed had pubic hairs in it while the other had animal hairs. In the parking lot 2 individuals smoked their marijuana while standing next to our vehicle.
We ended up leaving right after seeing the condition of the room and motel.
What made it 100% impossible that I would stay there is that there was no way I was going to sleep in the sheets with someone else's short & curlies. We went to the nearby Hilton and spent more than triple the rate and I was happy to pay the extra $800+ for 2 rooms for 2 nights just to have a clean room.

The condition of the room was deplorable. It looked as though it hadn't been cleaned in months. There was random hairs on the bathroom ceiling and walls. On the bathroom ceiling there also appeared to be small spots of mold. The moldings on the side of the baseboards was falling off and had random splatters of orange everywhere. The door leading into our hotel room appeared as if it had previously been broken into. The door did not seal properly when we tried to close it.
The beds were not comfortable at all. They were sunken in on certain areas. The floor all over the hotel room was disgusting and I had to wipe it down just to feel comfortable enough walk around in sandals. If I could leave 0 stars I would.

Bed was not made on Friday. Housekeeper didn’t knock and proceeded to come into the room in the morning. However I had the latch on. When I got up to unlatch the door, housekeeper did not acknowledge he can come in. Instead he quickly turned the corner with the cart in tow. He did see me but waved his hand. I don’t believe he spoke English. In the afternoon, another housekeeper came by, saw me through the window and didn’t bother coming in. So I never got fresh line or towels. This is the first time it’s happened at this motel. I’ve used them 3 times before with 0 issues. Also the bed needs to be replaced as it’s past its wear and tear. I forgot to mention, on my check in, I reserved a nonsmoking room. Even though the room had a no smoking sticker, the room stunk from heavy cigarette smoke. The smell hits you before you even opened the door. I was then given the adjoining room, which was ok.

Called ahead of time to ensure rooms did not smell like smoke. Front desk informed me that all rooms were non-smoking but when I booked and checked in my room reeked of cigarette smell/smoke. It was so hard to sleep. However other than that it was a decent stay. Front desk check in and out process was swift.

The hallways smell like piss and the carpet is disgusting. Rooms are ok but very little lighting. The beds smell humid like from a hospital or hospice. Also mission valley flooded and the whole parking lot was completly flooded had to swim in nasty water to get to our vehicle. Last but certainly not least the room above us had changos jumping and fighting and we were scared those mayateros were gonna start shooting so my friend left to sleep in his car outside Jack in the box since he felt so unsafe.
