Guest Reviews
- Vuong (7/5): It was cool. - It offered consistent central air/heat & it had cable. The sink was clogged but if you ignored that part then our stay was cool for the price and location. I would go again for the price but honestly i’d say splurge just a tiny bit more for something a bit more modern.
- Roberto (6/5): Cómodo para 1 noche - La ubicación es ideal Facil accesso desde el freeway Zona bonita Que cobre extra por estacionamineto Cobro por Wi-fi Elevador lento
- Jorge (1/5): No volvería - No nada Muy sucio los pasillos. Gente tirada por fuera en las calles
- Swann (10/5): I plan on staying again very soon - Location was great There was no breakfast offered
- Slade (1/5): The worst hotel experience. Nothing like the photos - Nothing Location. People coming in off the street for free coffee
- Kaykayjenee (7/5): -
- Satiro (1/5): - She charged a 250 fee and everyday $20 for parking and $30 for utilities. The room was never cleaned by housekeeping.
- Grys (10/5): - La atención al cliente, sus empleados mil de 10, exelente
- christy (3/5): - Convenient location .... Cleanliness- the carpet is heavily stained and has not been shampooed for quite some time or never....so much so that it reeks. My room was decent. but the front door is not flushed with the door frame so i could hear everything going on in the hallway. Toilet seat is loose and some outlets do not work
- Amy (1/5): It's awful - Nothing. This place is awful. The staff is awful. Everything about it is awful. Don't waste your money. You will regret staying here. There are many far better options. This place is awful. The staff is awful. Everything about it is awful. Don't waste your money. You will regret staying here. There are many far better options.
- Hanna (4/5): -
- Teresa (4/5): I wouldn’t stay another day - It was horrible for the price. Was out dated and the blanket are old , pillows horrible .
- Jennifer (9/5): Would stay again. - The property itself was great. Much better than the Motel 6 in Hotel Circle where I stayed before. The neighborhood is sketchy. I went out for snacks and narrowly avoided two separate fights. Don’t go out for snacks after dark! But if you’re a homebody it’s a great stay.
- Javier (1/5): -
- Maria (3/5): Horrible , restless experience. Never booking there again! - N/a It was creepy, the hallway carpet was filthy dirty and smelled bad , there was no AC, had to sleep with open windows ,therefore all the outside noise traffic, people walking in and out of the hotel and smoking weed , which the smoke entered through the windows, it was pretty bad , the telephone had no telephone line, it was a non smoking and it smelled like cigarette smoke ..they attempted to open our door various times through the night.. couldn’t sleep… horrible experience.
- Ala (10/5): - Great, welcoming, friendly staff.
- William (7/5): -
- راكان (10/5): -
- Justin (1/5): I will never stay here again. - The staff member was nice and helpful The tobacco all over the counter, bed, table. The smoke detector was disconnected and had no battery. And they charged an additional $14 for “Utility’s.” Which has never happened at any other motel 6? The window had no screen.
- Gabriel (1/5): Disappointing stay. - The location. The motel was nasty not upgraded. Dirty floors throughout motel. Will not stay here again.
- Karim (3/5): - Uniquement l’emplacement Parties communes très très sales Cette établissement est hors de prix (135€ la nuit) aux vues de sa propreté C’est le pire hébergement que j’ai fait sur mon road trip en Californie
- Coffel (10/5): - Designated parking, went to park and a van was in it with a woman living in it. Went in and staff told me to just park somewhere else
- J.F.G. (3/5): Matig - De vriendelijke staf De beloofde WiFi werkte niet op de kamer, er werd ons een ander kamer aangeboden waar wel Wifi werkte maar daar liepen de kakkerlakken over de vloer.
- Colette (9/5): Agréable grâce au personnel - Le personnel est très à l’écoute. L’établissement a vieilli mais est bien placé proche de l’embarcadère.
- GAKU (3/5): - 値段がリーズナブル。モーニングコーヒーある。 写真ほどきれいではない。部屋の掃除は不十分で、ベッドの下は特に物凄く汚い。値段相応なのかもしれない。 向かいの通りにホームレス複数。
- ELENA (3/5): -
- Ramonn (3/5): Not very comfortable or enjoyable - Location No amenities/ outdated / room needed repairs .. there was a hole in the bathroom door
- Dominguez (7/5): - La ubicación, estaba cerca del lugar a donde tenia que ir La tv no servía
- Ann (3/5): -
- Gordon (6/5): - Location Cleanings

- Calvin (1/5): - I don't trust this Property (Motel 6). I called them to cancel and they said on the phone it was canceled, but then ended up charging me for the whole stay and labeled as me staying there. That is unethical because it was not true. When I called to ask for a refund, they claimed they were following Booking.com's policy of "no refunds" but Booking.com says they will follow Motel 6 policy which free cancellation. So Motel 6 has the power to return my money, but they are deciding to keep it. Yoli is not a trustworthy person
- Sugabear (8/5): - Location Alot of homeless walking thru halls
- Paulo (10/5): Beautiful - Clean and quiet Nice location
- Brian (2/5): If I hadn't paid in advance, I would have walked out. - Location was good The rooms were nothing like the photos displayed online. The property was very tired. The rooms smelt of stale cigarette smoke—terrible experience.
- Thomas (9/5): -
- Christian (1/5): -
- John (1/5): -
- Melissa (5/5): Beware! Read reviews! Pics don’t match current conditions! - It was conveniently located near the zoo. Had instant hot water with a good flow of water from the shower head, firm mattress with choice of soft or firm pillows. Pictures on the website need to be updated because they do not accurately depict the current conditions of the motel. I should have paid attention to the previous reviews of the property. Parking is an additional $20 and is very limited. Facilities need some “TLC”. One elevator that was super slow. First room key I was given, someone was still in the room. Seems like the motel is a long term stay (I was told up to 28 days). Homeless camped outside door.
- Patricio (8/5): Recibis lo que pagas, no más no menos - Ofrecen lo que pagas. San Diego ultimamente es una ciudad bastante cara, donde ningún hotel no baja del precio de este Motel 6. Por lo que si vas a hospedarte deberías saberlo. Aún asi, el cuarto es comodo, la ducha es buena, la limpieza era aceptable, la ubicación con el centro es cercana. Punto aparte para el Staff que siempre se comportó excelente y buena onda. Después, recibis lo que pagas. No le podes pedir más a un hotel por lo que estás pagando. Si estaría bueno que hagan una limpiezal cuarto aunque sea cada 2 días, yo estuve una semana y no lo hicieron nunca.
- Latasha (5/5): It was ok ! Its ok for a night , bed was comfy big tv and clean your essential body parts - The price was nice, tv was big, and the bed was comfortable The curtains had holes in the building smelled like an ashtray. The furniture like the desks were raggedy and my room had a whole room n the ceiling
- Preppyhotel (10/5): - Room was clean and good customer service N/A
- Brian (8/5): -
- Joscelyn (7/5): Happy Camper - Clean...TV was great...outlets and light switches everywhere....well lit/lighted No mini-refrigerator
- Mina (4/5): -
- Angelica (4/5): -
- nastaran (1/5): -
- Nopphawan (4/5): -
- Natsufu (3/5): - ドラック中毒者と思われる人が30分近く叫んでおり、救急車で運ばれて行きました。
- Stephanie (3/5): - The staff were friendly; however, they were tired and could tell they had not had a break all day, so I could sense some irritability. The room didn't have some features such as ironing boards, the facility was run down and dirty, as well as the room felt a little small, even for one person.
- Victor Alfonso (8/5): -
- Maritza (7/5): Solid 7/10 overall stay - The staff was super friendly that was probably the best part about my stay here at Motel 6. There were enough towels for my friend and I. The bed was clean and mattress wasn't too thin. The TV did work and had some good channels. The restroom was clean as well. The room size was smaller than my liking but we made it work. The smell of the hallways were odd as well. There was no microwave which I was surprised.
- Mike (6/5): -
- Herbert (1/5): Harrased - Nothing The fact that they were rude and harassed a paying guest
- Tom (5/5): -
- Wilson (1/5): - Nothing Everything, I had to get another room because the first one was smelling bad like cigarettes and bed was dirty and no lights
- Michael (6/5): Quiet - Location No hot water using the sink
- Maritza (2/5): - Nothing Room cleanliness
- Jamie (5/5): Ok. not bad but not great. Motel 6 in Carlsbad near freeway, waaaaaay better - $20 a day for parking?!?!?!? Ridiculous considering you have your own private parking lot as part of YOUR property Free parking. Shampoo the co.mon hallways. Fix the floor in the rooms
- Maria (10/5): -
- Silvia (4/5): -
- Zachariah (1/5): Non existent. - There was nothing to like. The only redeeming quality of this facility was the staff member that checked us out and apologized for our horrible experience. She promised us a refund in the morning but as you can imagine that did not happen. Everything. The rooms were SMALL. The facilities were filthy. It literally looked like people had been shot or stabbed in the hallways with all of the dried blood stains on the floor. The rooms were falling apart. Nothing at the site reflected what the images shown to us were on the booking site. I would NEVER recommend this place to anybody. My husband and I felt so unsafe here and paid WAY to much.
- Daija (10/5): -
- Sierra (8/5): Good value - I liked that it was downtown, close to the areas I wanted, staff was nice. Couldn’t use bathtub, the drain was missing (maybe that was on purpose i don’t know).
- Joan (4/5): Would not recommend - Close to where I needed to be. Did not feel safe to he outside, carpet was disgusting, heard a sound from bathroom all night, parking was not included
- David (5/5): It was an okay stay. I was just mainly disappointed i had to pay extra for their allocated parking. - I slept good, no disturbances. I had to pay $20 at check-in for their allocated parking. Not sure if that's normal for downtown area motels/hotels.
- Rivera (1/5): 0/10 not coming back - nothing. staff tried to come into my room in the morning when check out is at 11 tv was broken, staff tried coming into my room without permission bed was dirty and pillows as well, room keys stopped working in the morning before check out. floor was cracking and open
- Antvan (6/5): - Convenience price
- Antonio (6/5): - Zona comoda Un po sporche le aree comuni
- Donna (1/5): Never again - Nothing No ice machine, had to go buy ice. Room electrical didn't work to get ready for a wedding. I was upset. Notify front desk they said oh sorry. I paid 192.00 for this room. I feel I need to be compensated.
- Jadie (6/5): -
- Maria Elena (4/5): Pésimo hotel aunque buena ubicacio - La ubicación la alfombra estaba super sucia, no servia el wifi, nos cobraron estacionamiento aparte.. afuera del hotel se ponen personar a beber alcohol, el elevador super sucio
- Sofia (5/5): Fue muy barato pero creo que lo mínimo esperado es una habitación limpia - El personal de recepción es servicial La habitación estaba sucia, no hacían la limpieza. No servía la calefacción de la habitación. El elevador duró manchado de sangre y sucio toda nuestra estancia.
- Jenny (5/5): Nos pusieron multa por sobreventa de parqueo - La ubicación Q sobrevenden los espacios de los parqueos ya q el costo del parqueo es adicional por noche, y nos dijeron q nos podíamos parquear enfrente de la entrada del hotel y nos pusieron una multa por estacionarnos donde nos dijeron.
- Fernandez (9/5): -
- Bolanos (8/5): -
- Adolfo Javier (1/5): Don’t stay there!! Bad Deal - Nothing!! The pictures are totally fake, which’s not cool. The vibe and the atmosphere are scary 😦 The bathroom was full of mold which’s is extras for your health, plus the customer service is really poor, the carpet is the worse part small sooooo bad and super dirty.
