Motel 6 - accommodation in South San Francisco

Ice cold showers and no electricity in bathroom outlets

Very nice property. Very nice amenities. Room itself was excellent, comfortable, relaxing, and clean. I enjoyed the separate living room/office space and the galley wet bar. Bathroom was beautiful. Breakfast of custom omelette bar was nice. The staff that we interacted with were great. Maeko checked us in with lightning efficiency. Not complaining but it was outside the room that was noisy, chlorine fumey, and even disquieting. The outside of the building had constant freeway and traffic noise. Opening the french balcony window was out of the question. There seemed to be audible activity in the inner atrium late into the night and a smell of pool chlorine was the dominant smell. Again not a big problem when inside the suite with the curtains drawn. But finally, my only real complaint was about the kind of gougy parking fee (for paying hotel guests) for uncovered outdoor parking behind a lift arm gate, presumably no dedicated security, physical barrier or cctv, only automated access control.

Front desk staff was not personable and will not go out of their way for you. The room is basic and served its purpose of spending a night before an early morning flight. The room was right next to the highway, so I had whizzing highway traffic noise combined with airplanes taking off. I absolutely recommend earplugs.
