Comfy stay

Just a quick day trip to get out of the city and be close to the beach. In a decent area with walking distance stores and restaurants. Had people outside partying in front of my door, called to the front office to notify them and they addressed and took care of the situation right away. Thank you so much for that!

The room was tidty. Just the floor were really dirty. If you walk bare feet. It turn your feet black. It may look clean ! But its dirty. Really bad job of fixing everythings up. It also have kinda moldy smell too. They came and took our towels. Only leave 2 to replace it. I have to go ask for more. They didnt want to give us more. I stated that we were there for 2 nights.

Room was clean. Daily service great. But had a strong tobacco smell every time our a/c came on due to a neighboring guest smoking continuously outside of her room while sitting on her room's a/c unit. Also had a daily issue with our room key card. Upon returning to the hotel at 8pm on 6/20 our card wouldnt open our room door. I went to the office and waited 30 minutes for the employee to return from break! Not the employee's fault but additional coverage would have been nice. I was one of 3 guests waiting for her to return...we all needed new room key cards.

Smooth check-in process & staff was very friendly. I appreciate the fact that this hotel isn't very far from Camp Pendleton and was close to beaches and shopping outlets. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. There was free coffee in the lobby which was nice! I will definitely be back in the future when I am in the area.

The general manager is an awful person. Immediately threatens guests and is not accommodating at all. No one was at the front desk for hours and when I went to look for someone to see if I could check in an hour early I found the general Manager. He threatened me and said how dare I leave the lobby. Simply wow!

Hotel was great for price and location. We would have liked shampoo and a blow dryer in the room. Those of us who got the bigger fridge with the freezer loved that. That is important for us when traveling with kids. Big plus that it was close to Legoland.

Avoid This Motel 6 – Unacceptable Experience

I usually choose Motel 6 because it’s a reliable chain—you know what to expect. Unfortunately, this location breaks that trust entirely. Check-in took over an hour because there was no one at the front desk, and no way to get help. Once someone did arrive, the staff was rude and completely unprofessional, which was a stark contrast to the typically courteous service I've experienced at other Motel 6 locations. To make things worse, a cockroach was crawling on the wall in my room, which I photographed. Cleanliness and basic hygiene are clearly not a priority here. The management seems indifferent to customer experience. There’s an attitude of “take the money and deal with it,” which is incredibly frustrating after a long day of travel. If you're considering this motel—don’t. There are far better options nearby that respect your time, your comfort, and your health.
