Motel 6

Stayed here for a whole week and I’m impressed the staff was hardworking especially crystal and will. Awesome service.

This has to be the worst motel I’ve ever stayed at. The room is tiny with nothing but an uncomfortable mattress on a board (no box springs) and horrible foam pillows. The walls are like paper so you hear everything including all the people coming and going outside. I had the misfortune of getting a room right next to the stairs and every time someone went up or down the stairs the whole room would shake. Absolutely no extras, just a small bar of soap. No shampoo no tissues no
services of any kind. The finishing a look like the lowest end IKEA. They gouge you for $ 260 per night during graduation weekend and charge extra for Wi Fi. I can only hope they go out of business so no one else has to suffer through a night at this miserable motel.

I will give them credit for at least a clean room however the fact that they want 250.00 per night is a bit ridiculous and definitely not worth it. Too bad the owners are so greedy, so if you must spend that much at least try one of the other hotels first. Feeling quite ripped off.
As an addendum–
Here is what you get for 250.00 a night
Bare floor
Plastic cups
2 Small scratchy towels
A bed that sleeps like it is 10 years old
Sheets that are as old and rough as the be
2 thin pillows
The privilege to pay extra for wi-​fy
No hair dryer
No iron
The ability to clearly hear the people in the next room conversing and know what they said
No shampoo etc
A room card that has to be remagnatized daily
Maid service that turns the AC from off As you had left it to as cold as the unit will possibly go
And finally. Seeing the rate dropped to 70.00 a night the very next day.
I hope that extra 9000.00 dollars a night was worth it to you Motel 6 as i would rather sleep in my car then have you leave the light on

Clean, spacious, and affordable. Good for a short stay as the rooms are basic– bed (s), bathroom, tv, and small table. Beds are pretty comfortable.
BRIAN from the office was excellent. Definitely a keeper employee.
My problem with this motel: the walls are super thin so you can hear everything from other rooms and from outside. This makes it difficult to fall/​stay asleep. I wouldn’t stay here again just for this reason.
If you can sleep through noise, I would recommend this motel. Otherwise, stay away.

If you want cheap and basic, Motel 6! If you want a place to feel like home or your room, don’t stay here.
The bathroom door does not have a lock. It’s a terrible idea if you plan to stay with other people in the same room. The heater smells like rusted burning metal, and obviously hasn’t been cleaned. When you walk in these rooms, it smells like cigarettes. If you want to air the place out. the windows may get stuck and the outside noise is pretty high, especially with the construction they’re working on outside AND the highway.
When you shower, the shower curtain is like an arc when you pull it around you. There’s not enough bath towels to soak up the splashing water made by these poor protection and purpose of these curtains. We did bring our dogs, but when we showered, they were able to open the bathroom doors, and they kept going after the toilet. We sis bring their water bowls and 3 gallons of spring water.
I’m glad I paid $ 3 for a microwave. The fridge space is so tiny. I had to remind myself to buy less frozen foods and more refrigerated items. There local grocery stores nearby, just have to drive about 3 miles East across the freeway.
As for Wi-​Fi goes… one person at a time. If you want multiple people using it, it costs more.
Also our hotel room’s entrance door couldn’t close all the way. We had to shove the door and then latch it. It gets annoying when its really windy. Our solution was to stack up our luggage to make sure that the door doesn’t open.

Doesn’t look too bad from the reviews or even the outside. Our first room we found hairs all over the room! Not even the same hairs, there was red, blonde, and even black hairs. Then once we switched rooms the next room had multiple hairs in the bedding as well! I’m seriously concerned if they even wash the beds. Spend the extra couple dollars and stay somewhere else seriously

Very clean nice helpful staff. Safe. If you want basic place to stay for the price yes. However extremely noisy floors creaked from people walking in room above. Walls very thin. We had no cold water in bathroom sink. Cigarette burn on bedspread even though non smoking room.
If quick overnight stay yes. Relaxing multiple night stay no.

This place use to be so nice!!! We stayed here all the time because the hardwood floor was easy to wipe down and the prices were reasonable.
This time we came, there were so many pot smokers that I couldn’t go out of the room without seriously inhaling that stuff. Top floor is nonsmoking, while bottom floor is I guess. Smoke goes up… then everyone is enjoying it… or not…
This will be the last time we stay here unfortunately. I will miss those hardwood floors. I wish they would section off one building for non smokers and one building for smokers. That way, second hand smoke would be limited.

Had a great stay! I only stayed one night but I was able to bring my puppy with me as well. This motel 6 was extremely clean and the room was the nicest motel 6 room that I have been on. Definitely will have to come back!

Hands down the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in.
Due to car trouble I ended up here for 2 weeks.
The maids SCREAM to each other from opposite sides of the hotel. God forbid walking ten steps to someone and having a normal conversation when you can act like howler monkeys instead. They also blocked the stairwells with their carts when I was leaving, making it really inconvenient to bring my stuff to my car.
There are no Do Not Disturb signs. This irritated me, but I figured I’d just let the person in the lobby know when I didn’t need housekeeping service. I did this, yet still the maid showed up banging on my door. My whole reason for refusing service was because I wanted to nap, but that proved futile since they wouldn’t allow me to rest in peace.
Both dryers in the laundry room were broken. Not just for a couple days, but for 2 whole weeks. They’re probably still broken. That is absurd and unacceptable. How hard is it to call someone to come fix that??? Especially when you have people (like me) who have expressed a desire to use them.
The wifi is horrendous. For $ 2.99 you get speeds of no more than 200 kb/​s. In 2016, that is absolutely pathetic. So I tried the $ 4.99 wifi. You get a maximum of 700 kb/​s. WHAT!!! Supposedly it’s for people who want to stream video, but good luck at that speed. That isn’t even the worst part. Even though they charge you an exorbitant price for paltry speeds, YOU CAN ONLY USE ONE DEVICE. If you have a phone and a laptop have fun switching back and forth. Or if you’re with someone else, guess you have to either pay for 2 internet codes or play rock paper scissors to see who gets to have WIFI.
It’s a cheap hotel, so sure you’re going to get thin walls. One guy next to me was blaring his TV, so I turned mine on just loud enough not to hear his. At 11:30 PM the front desk called and told me to turn MY tv down (some dumbass named Brian by the way. Learn a little bit of tact, idiot.) I turned it down to where I could barely hear it (¹³⁄₃₀ on the volume control), less than half of full volume. At 12:45 am they called again and told me to turn it down. I turned it down to THREE. The TV goes up to a maximum of 30 and I had it on THREE. That’s 10% of the maximum volume. I got called AGAIN at 1:30 am and told to turn it down, even though I could barely hear it and I WAS IN THE ROOM. Then within seconds of this happening the guy next door bangs on my door before running back to his room and then calling me to tell me he has to work the next morning.
So calling my room at 1:30 am isn’t disruptive? WTF? Then the next day they had a notice in the lobby about excessive noise. To them excessive noise means wanting to watch TV in your room. If they don’t want you to do that, why the hell do they even have TVs?
Another day there were two full teams of children playing soccer and literally screaming for over 3 hours, but they weren’t being disruptive???
A woman below me was smoking copious amounts of weed with her window open. So that’s ok, but watching TV isn’t? Also, everyone who smokes cigarettes here is lazy and discourteous as they do it RIGHT outside of their rooms. Why doesn’t the hotel provide some sort of outdoor area for these people so you can open your windows without the repulsive smell of Marlboro Reds invading your room?
The only positive I can think of is one of the employees. I don’t remember her name, but she was thin with curly brown hair. She was the only person who was consistently congenial and professional and I wish I remembered her name so she could be exalted as the one bright spot in this cesspool of a lodging establishment.
Oh and you can hear the cars on the highway all night too.

Basic motel | Stay here if you have no other option

We booked this motel a couple months out because we knew Valentine’s Day weekend was going to be busy. We were in town to film and attend my husband’s grandmother’s wedding. This was the only place that allowed dogs and wasn’t as expensive as the other hotels in SLO.
The woman at the front desk was really nice and friendly. Good service, we had no problems.
After finding our room, I saw a cockroach in the bathroom!!! SCARED THE BEJEEZUS OUT OF ME!!! From that moment on, I was feeling really uncertain about staying here. Of all the motel 6 locations we’ve stayed at (and we’ve stayed at some pretty grungy ones, like one in Barstow), this was our first time encountering a roach. I couldn’t believe it because the hotel looks pretty nice since they remodeled it not too long ago. Well, I guess don’t be fooled by the exterior. It’s still an old building.
We went back to the front office and the lady gave us another room. We had no choice because every other hotel was booked up, and we had even fewer options because we had our dog with us. The next room we were given had no roaches, thank goodness.
Here’s my notes for our stay:
–incredibly thin walls. /​/​you can hear your neighbors as if they’re in the same room with you. i heard every word clearly.
–no fan in the bathroom /​/​not well ventilated
–no clock /​/​you’d expect even a motel 6 to have a clock!
–no fridge, no microwave
–no toilet seat cover /​/​weird
–no ‘do not disturb/​room service needed’ placard /​/​you need to put your name on a list at the front desk if you don’t want room service
–i felt like a hamster trying to navigate to and from the room. the stair design is a little odd.
One other thing to note that I experienced while staying here in regards to noise…
I woke up around 1am to a group of very loud and rude men entering their room next door to us. I heard their conversations because of the thin walls, but I could also hear that they were lighting up and coughing. I honestly don’t know what they were doing, but they only stayed for an hour or two and then left. I did wake up later again to hear them walking around the premises pretty loudly — probably drunk or high. They never came back or stayed the next few nights.
I’ve been to other Motel 6 locations where they actually have a clock, fan in the bathroom, and a microwave or fridge, or both. I’m very surprised that even with the remodeling, they lack some of the items a ‘basic’ motel usually carries. Disappointed.
I would have given this place one star, but the lady at the front desk was really nice and provided good service.

The place was clean and nice. Staff was very friendly but I couldn’t sleep because the walls and floor are so thin and the place was crowded full of noisy people who stay up all night. If you are a heavy sleeper, I would recommend this place. Otherwise, beware.

You get worse than what you pay for… our first room was completely open when we checked in. It had trash in the trash can, the bed was covered in hair and our heater was broken. We got a second room and it was a little cleaner, but not by much. There was still hair on the beds, the floors were dusty, but at least we had a working heater the second time around.

Clean hotel. Staff friendly and helpful.
The only problems I had was the heater would not shut off and I woke up from the room being to hot. Had to keep getting up to turn it off and on.
I Thought the maid pressing her face onto my window to see if we were still in our room was rude. But I would stay again.
Basic room no micro or frig

Frank Khan is the manager here. Complete jerk! We had dirty rooms with blood and vomit in the room. It was disgusting. The room also smelled like ciguatera. It’s a non smoking room. We asked for a refund and the manager said that we should just leave and that we should not expect anything else from Motel 6. I was floored!!!
He also proceeded to tell me that people like me… of Indian origin are cheap. I can’t believe this is happening!

Budget-​friendly chain motel located off the 101 freeway next to Hampton Inn & Courtyard.
They have very reasonable rates & our room exceeded our expectations. The rooms had hardwood floor, a queen bed, a moderate-​sized TV, and a small, desk area. Appliances & AC were in working condition & restroom/​shower/​sinks were also in good condition. They are also pet-​friendly & have several grassy/​bushy areas available for potty breaks. We especially loved the fact that we were able to park our vehicle so close to our room, as we always travel with so much crap.
However, towels and sheets are not plush and walls are paper thin.
Overall though, we were still pleasantly surprised at the above-​par quality of this motel & have returned multiple times. It’s definitely a great find for the price!
FYI — They do not offer any hand soap or shampoo/​conditioner, so bring yours!

We’ve stayed at this motel Motel 6 SLO Souh at least 25 times over the last 20 years when driving to SoCal to see my parents. We haven’t been here for a couple of years.
We noticed that the rooms have been renovated. No rugs – just hardwood floors,
spiffy modern but comfortable bed (without that cumbersome cheezie Motel 6 logo comforter) with a table, chair, bench, and shelves near the sink.
All of this contributes to a very clean room. For you purists (who probably would never stay at a Motel 6 anyway) the bedding and towels are not plush — clean but very thin but hey they work just fine!
There are also nifty wall lamps with on/​off switches next to a 2 plug outlet on each side of the bed… no more having to use my extension cord to charge my laptop or cell phone.
A large flat screen tv and a new cooling/​heating unit too.
No frills, just a decent quiet place to spend the night.
Just two little glitches… our faucet made these groaning noises when you turned it a certain way. The wi-​fi is extra, $ 2.95 for regular speed; $ 4.95 for faster speed.
The wi-​fi worked fine but it only worked for one of our devices at a time.
The young man at the desk was very friendly.
And the price for the two of us on a Tuesday night was $ 65-​ish with tax and wi-​fi.
Such a deal especially when I checked the prices of other motels/​hotels nearby —
$ 150-​$ 350+ no no not for us!

Okay, it’s a Motel 6 so I don’t really expect much. I figured there wouldn’t be a microwave or mini fridge, but there isn’t even an alarm clock in this room, let alone any clock at all.
And I’m pretty surprised that there’s no MSNBC or FOX or other cable channels. Yes, there’s 2 HBO channels, but otherwise it’s the standard local stuff, with cable channels like TNT, USA, etc.
Moving on. Wireless is free, which is fantastic. Unfortunately, it disconnects when the two of us each try to connect a device. Only one of us can use it at a time. To connect a Kindle.
Also not used to floors that don’t have any carpet. It’s a laminate floor. That was unexpected. Plus, it’s dirty. I made the mistake of walking on it barefoot. Won’t do that again.
Lastly, I looked up and I kid you not, there is a freakin’ rubber glove pulled over the smoke alarm! Not only that, it’s been there a while as there is dust/​dirt all over it. I presumed some guest thought they were clever & doing that would keep it from detecting cigarettes or weed. The other option I thought was the motel itself put it on there as some sort of MacGyver maintenance thing. So I called the front desk to ask if they were aware of the glove. Nope. So their cleaning staff never bothers looking up. Fantastic.
No way will I ever be staying in this place again. It REALLY reflects badly on the whole Motel 6 chain.
Oh! The area is also pretty sketchy looking. I arrived here after dark and I was immediately uncomfortable, so be aware of that. Especially if you’re females traveling alone.
P. S. Stayed here because we had the dog with us, not a lot of pet-​friendly choices in the area.
P. S.S. There’s only one ice machine and it’s next to the front office, so a bit of a walk for some. There’s a sign on it saying to not fill up a cooler ’cause it’s the only ice machine on the property and it takes a half hour to make ice. Just an FYI.
Also no complimentary little shampoos or soaps or anything in the room. There wasn’t even an ashtray and it’s a smoking room.

As I’m writing this review I’m thinking why in the heck am I giving Motel 6 two stars? Well in all honesty it was the cheapest thing I could find in the area short notice.
I didn’t know I was going to stay another night in the area and so I booked at Motel 6, because it was going to $ 180 cheaper than the cheapest motel in Pismo beach.
I had already spent $ 810 for 5 days in Santa Barbara and didn’t feel like shelling out an extra $ 280. The only thing is that since it was a weekend the rates went up from $ 40 a night to $ 90 a night and Wifi is not included. I paid an extra $ 5 for Wifi and didn’t even use it.
The main thing that I hated about my stay here is that as soon as I walked into the room it smelled like heavy duty smoke. It stunk so flippin’ bad that I think a chain smoker must have smoked here on their stay the entire time they were here.
The other really jacked up thing is that in the morning I could not use the bathroom, because the toilet wasn’t working. The toilet had water filling up to the top and boy was I glad I only went number 1. I know this sounds gross and or funny, but it’s the truth.
Yes, Motel 6 made me feel very «comfortable». The idea of needing to go to the bathroom really bad and having to hold it and try to find a public bathroom to relieve yourself is not my idea of a comfy stay.
I would say that those 2 major hiccups were enough for me to never want to stay here again. I’m only giving Motel 6 two stars, because it was the cheapest motel around, but as you can see that going cheap is not always the best idea and you get what you pay for.
My 1 night stay here cost $ 105.81 and I had to inhale second hand stink the whole night while trying to sleep, so if that’s what you want then be my guest and come stay here. As for me I don’t really recommend it unless you like this sort of scenario.

I mean, no motel 6 is worth 5 stars. Buttttt I was pretty impressed! Most of SLO was sold out due to it being Labor Day weekend so this was the next best thing since rates were high. I loved the remodeled rooms, a lot nicer than I thought it would be. Pool was cold so that wasn’t very enjoyable. No hair dryers or irons in rooms and when I asked the front desk, they were out of their extras all weekend so I went out with wrinkled
clothes and wet hair. :) The location is away from downtown and definitely not walking distance. It’s like a 10 min drive. It’s near the freeway but it’s not noisy, and it’s actually in a decent spot. This one looked better than the North location. Not a bad, budget motel.
