The price was cheap. Staff were good but the property was old...and it strongly smelled like mold or marijuana the first night. It looked like there was small patched up spot with black mold in the restroom. I toughed it out for the first night since there wasnt any other rooms available but we all felt sick the next morning. I opened the door to get rid of smell and it seemed to work...the following nights the smell had reduced dramatically. Front office staff were notified and it seemed like the room was cleaned and smell almost removed the 2nd night and on. Alot of people with pets and this lady groomed her animal upstairs and broomed all her hairs to the 1st floor! Disguisting! A little ghetto but thats what happens when you wait till the last minute for a legoland vacation. Legoland was less than 1 mile away and the ocean was close too....Overall I would never stay again if I had a choice....but not a good experience with my kids.....

The worst experience ever. The room smelled horrible. A combination of humidity, stale cigarette and the disinfectant they use to “clean” the rooms. One of the sheets had a blood stain, the tub was clogged, there were crumbs everywhere and the fridge wasn’t working. Our food spoiled because of it. I tried talking to the manager about the issues and he started yelling at me. As previously stated, this was the worst experience of my life.

I will try to avoid Motel 6. Never again. After a long day, we were tired. We didn't realize there were several Motel 6 's in the same area, with different owners. So we had to call each Motel 6 to find our reservation. Thin old towels, pillows, terrible mattress.

Room was smelly, dirty and room didn’t get cleaned daily, sheets towels also not changed . Manager wouldn’t do anything about it. DO NOT RECOMMEND STAYING HERE, worst experience ever ! Couldn’t continue my stay here had to leave early because no one cleaned our room or changed our sheets. Many guests were complaining in lobby about dirty rooms but manager didn’t care .
