Just because Motel 6 is a lower-cost alternative for overnight stays doesn’t mean the rooms can’t be kept up. The floor in my room was falling apart. The water in the bathroom sink barely had any pressure and there was no hot water

It was okay. Noisy though and sometimes difficult to find parking.
Our stay at the Studio 6 Suites was very pleasant. The hotel was modern and the room was nice. The floors could have been a bit cleaner, but most motels are like that.
Staff was very friendly, and there was plenty of parking.
DON'T STAY HERE. For the cost of this place, I was VERY disappointed. It took me staying at a different hotel to notice that Y'ALL AREN'T TOSSING OUT THE PLASTIC COFFEE FILTERS BETWEEN GUESTS AND THEY ARE DISPOSABLE. Who the HELL knows how many people have used this before us. The gal at check-in was clearly uninterested in checking us in or providing any information about the property and its amenities- should have just a self-check-in at the level of service we received. There is no privacy signs for the door, so our room was "cleaned" meaning new towels were put into the room, even though I would NOT have wanted anyone in my room. Speaking of towels, they are large enough for a baby, only- like I'm not a large person, I needed two towels to dry off as they were the least quality and size towels that could be offered. The noise from the rooms next to us was disturbing- I could hear the persons phone ring everytime and their sneezing was like it was in my room. There was a larger than life mini-fridge which would have come in handy if we were staying more than 2 days. The other disgusting thing-- PINK MOLD in the shower. I sat to take a bath the first night after a long day of travel and was extremely put off by the lack of cleanliness of this place. -10/10. I will NEVER stay here or recommend this location to anyone- unless they are looking for an overpriced piece of crap place to stay. If I can say one redeeming factor, it's close to the freeway entrance.
Its a motel 6. Clean cheap-ish quiet and walkable to town.

Room was clean and check in was super easy. Shower head in bathroom was weak. But, other than that room was nice. Neighbors woke me up at 1:30 in the morning. It was a nicer Motel 6. But, i think price is on the high side for a motel 6.
The photos are very deceiving. The rooms are tiny and dirty. The floors haven’t been cleaned in god knows how long. The mattresses are stained with urine and who knows what else. Overall terrible condition. We ended up checking out within 30 minutes and traveling for an hour to another hotel because everything in the area was sold out.
The motel 6 was located in a very convenient area whereby you can just leave the car in the car park and walk to some amazing restaurants and a beautiful beach. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable.
A former? Motel 6? Right off the main hwy, close to many cafes, very clean, had a laundry room. It was great bang for your buck. I only stayed 1 night as part of a multi-day SoCal drive about but it more than met my needs.
