The whole environment of the hotel gave me the skeeves. Parking lot was full and there were men just hanging out at their vehicles, smoking cigs and weed. Lots of noise and had to listen to a dog bark for 30 mins, barely slept. Room was meh. I wiped it all down with Clorox wipes to feel better. Good for a sleep and shower if that’s all you’re looking for.

The rooms are much smaller than the pictures lead one to believe. The A/C sort of works. Short bursts of cold air, then turns off, then another burst of cold air about 10 minutes later. The room was never cold from A/C. The property itself is not very clean, though the room was. The towels were threadbare and one was even dirty/stained. The bath towels were really more like hand towels, that’s how small they were. In the end it was a room to sleep in, which is really all I needed it for. The saying “you get what you pay for” is very true here, as I got this room for cheap.

To be honest I usually have an decent enough experience. Very affordable but basic. This last time, not so much. I was in bed and about to turn the light off when a roach crawled across my pillow. I went to the desk and told them I would be sleeping in my car till the room was sprayed. They moved me to another room, but it stuck with me, (creepy, crawly PTSD). Not sure I can ever go back.

Ive never stayed in a motel so perhaps this is common. But I was checked in by a person on a screen. I hate when customer service is outsourced to other countries. The room was fine actually... Until I realized the next morning that you could hear every step and sneeze from the rooms around you. I would have slept better on my friends couch honestly.

We were greeted in the reception by a broken plexiglass window and a live video receptionist asking us to check in — but sound quality was so poor, we couldn’t understand what he was saying. We were then up sold $21 in order to get a room that wasn’t overlooking the freeway.

When we got to our room, it had two twin beds. One looked like there had been a party on it just before we got there. Although we booked a non-smoking room, this room reeked of cigarettes.

We went down to change rooms and had basically the same problem with the second room. It stunk of ammonia and cigarette's. Stay away!

Bed and pillow are the only two things that truly matter at a hotel. You don’t skimp on those items. That was the worst bed I have ever laid in and the pillow was just as much garbage. I am cheap but never again.

I will say the hot tub felt warm but it closed at 930 so there was that if you like hot tubs.

If you are a construction or maintenance worker in town for a few days and just need a place to sleep? Maybe? I'm guessing it's called Motel 6 because it has 2 beds, a small fridge that freezes everything, a phone, a tv with limited access, and a bathroom. 6 things in our room. Ice machine, broken. Looks like it's been down for weeks. No cleaning service for extended days unless you explicitly ask for it. Room smelt like they just ran a chlorine bath when we walked in, and stayed for the better part of a few days. If you have to stay here? Ask for a room that doesn't face Johnson Dr. Check out was amazing. Had to ask them how it worked as there are no directions for anything anywhere. There is a QR code that takes you to a page on your phone. But it has little to no information that matters. You walk in the office. They ask if you are checking out. You say yes. They say ok. No direction on what to do with the keys. No other comments or questions. Didn't ask what room it was for. Nothing. Dropped the keys and walked out. Never again!

Parking was fine. The room was small, but that was not a problem for me. In fact, I liked it. Don't forget to bring shampoo and soak because all M6 provided were the tiny soap bars made especially for the motel. I think the towel in my room was from the era when M6 cost $6 a night. It was small, old, coarse, and thin. Being older, I wish there had been a grab bar in the shower/tub as for me there was a fall risk and I had to be very careful. There was no guide for the television so I was stuck with channel surfing when watching anything. Apparently someone had knocked a hole in the door to the bathroom and the patching did not look professional.
What could not be beat was the price. A room could have been a lot better if I wanted to pay $100 a night more at a different hotel.

You stay here if you’re trying to save money. Even then, it’s not that cheap. Housekeeping comes every three days - the shower in my bathroom at check-in was full of hair. There was a fly in the room that just wouldn’t stay still. Two bars of soap, the tiniest of towels, key card that malfunctioned so much I just decided not to leave the room until the next morning. I am well acquainted with cheap motels but Motel 6 has broken me. I’ll spring for the Best Western next time

Parking was closed off the secondary exist. Only one was in and out. The room had a stench like they used dirty polluted water or something to clean everything. The bathroom had an initial weird smell as well.

The TV setup is at least 10-15 years old, but I assume they do not want to upgrade anything because they would have to charge more per night to \"justify\" the cost.

The mattresses were exctremely thin and uncomfortable, as were the pillows.

Again, you get what you pay for. Theres no way you can justify $140 per night rate, but this is Ventura so it is what it is.

There wasn't any staff when we arrived (4:30pm) and had to use the kiosk to check in. There was a guy from India with a fairly heavy accent, which made it more difficult to check in. Somewhere it needs to tell you what you need to check in with, ie license plate number, drivers license etc. Also, closed captions of conversation would be very helpful for hearing impaired and/or loud lobbies. Even my 10 y/o couldn't understand what he needed from us.
The room floor was absolutely filthy! I mean black. Like it had not been mopped in 5 years. We did not have a microwave (which was shown in the pictures) and the bathroom door would NOT stay closed. The sink backed up if you ran the water. They did not provide enough towels, we had to get them from the pool and they are not crisp white! I cannot vouch for the staff as the only folks we saw were the cleaning crew and they didn't have much to say nor a smile...

The grounds are nice. The pool and jacuzzi were clean and nice. The pool was a bit cold, but when you get the courage to get in, it is quite refreshing. There's plenty of parking. They are also pet friendly, which was great! Very east access to the freeway and close to the beaches,

Overall, I would not stay in a Motel 6 ever again - and this was our first time using this chain. I wasn't expecting the Ritz Carlton, but this was beyond grungy.

Also paid for a room with a microwave which there wasn’t one in the room. The lack of carpet wasn’t a problem but the bathroom door did not lock. We had to wedge a washcloth in it.
