    You get what you pay for. Not a horrible place to stay, great for a quick sleep. Hotel staff was helpful trying to get me and my family rooms right next to each other . Room was clean for the most part but did have a smoke smell to it . Shower was very tiny . A lot of noises going on outside from people and cars on the middle of the night . A lot of parking available.

    The toilet kept running the whole time. I told the cleaning girls and they just told me to shut the door. The sink had no stopper, it was full of hair, inside the drain and the sink wasn’t cleaned. Like if someone had just shaved. The bed was full of crumbs and dirt. I had to use my own sheets. I will never stay there again and I expect my money back.

    The property is extremely rundown. It doesn’t look like anything‘s been remodeled since the place has been built. The flooring in the shower was disgusting. It’s a cheap hotel so I expected nothing great but this was far below my expectation. The people above us were up until 3 AM but that’s what kind of people are going to frequent this hotel. When we left in the morning, we could hear him on the phone arguing with his significant other about the possibility of going to jail, and he was yelling at her like he was upset with her. Not a good stay.

    Nothing. Rooms were old and very poorly kept. Bottom floor is smoking while 2nd floor was non smoking - the smell of cigarettes seeps through. You have multiple people camping in their vehicles in the parking lot plus vehicles that haven’t been moved in a while. The toilet was not flushing properly and there were roaches.

The only thing I did not like is the adjoining room door in my room. I could hear every sound from the other occupants so I know they heard mine. It was as if we were in the same room without seeing each other.

    There were no disturbances, inconveniences, annoyances. There was free parking. There was minimal waiting. The temperature was whatever I wanted it to be. Everyone seemed to be minding their own business. The shower was just big enough. The freeway and heater / AC helped drowned out any problem noise. TV noise from the next room during waking hours only..

    no breakfast only coffee 1. The parking lot has trash everywhere curbs etc. 2. The whole time I was there I had no internet 3. The lady that came on shift when I arrived, not a good attitude, when I told her about the internet several times, did not seem to care and really wasn't in a hurry to do something about it, and it did not work the whole time I was there, I needed to finish my work project and was not able to do so. 4. That lady should never be in a position to work a front desk needs to learn how to serve the people. with a good attitude. I was there from 3pm till 9:30 pm thank you

    The rooms were HORRIBLE - we stayed there just to catch an early flight and we would've been better off just sleeping in the airport. The staff that checked us in was friendly - she did her job. The problem are the rooms - they just smell and you can tell that they're *lightly* cleaned. I'm also pretty sure they have bed bugs.

Addition to that I could t get out of bed I began. To get so sick and you can see the mold on the walls I demand a refund for the entire stay my wife. Had to assist me out to the car to take me away from that place I filing complaints for everything. Including false advertisement your company should visit these type of places before adding g then to the list of livable cohabitation place to go they should get no stars

Same people I saw for three nights straight. The 4th night had kids running around the second floor down to the parking lot. The floor was not mopped at least, I had Clorox wipes with me so I had to do a quick wipe up myself just so I didn’t feel the dirt on my feet.

    Let me start off by saying that most Motel 6’s nowadays aren’t bad at all. These are inexpensive rooms that work for a quick rest and carry basic amenities. However, from the moment we checked in I had a not so great feeling about this Motel 6. The woman at the front desk didn’t want to be bothered with business, it was incredibly rude. Then we enter our room and I immediately notice that the sheets seem to have oil or grease stains. I didn’t even think to ask for new sheets because of how rude the lady at the front desk was. My husband and I figured “we’re just here for one night” - so we went to a local CVS to purchase a blanket. The bathroom doesn’t have an actual tub it’s just a fully open bathroom with a shower and curtain, so the floor was dirty. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

    We had an early flight in Tj the next day so decided to stay overnight near by. Booked this room based off the pictures. When we got there the room was no where near to what the pictures showed. The room was awful and dirty. We were scared to sleep in the bed. Everything was worn down or broken. Would never stay here again. The check in staff was nice and helpful but the condition of the property was awful.

    On arrival, we found the sheets stained and there was pee around the rim of the toilet. There was a suspicious stain in the shower and the whole room smelled like cigarettes. The whole area around the motel seems shady with people hanging out in the parking lot. The area right outside the room smelled of urine. We didn’t stay the night. I didn’t feel safe with kids there. I hope my refund goes through.

    Room was average. Floor was dirty in places. The bathroom shower was really old , yellow stained and dirty. I did not dare take a shower in it. There were other hotel guest smoking weed in the parking lot. The beds were ok. The only thing we really enjoy is that there was a Denny’s close by.

    Beds were soft due but this is due to age and use. Area is super sketchy. And has horrible vibes. There were homeless people rummaging through the trash. Very noisy. People jumping in rooms above and children playing soccer in the parking lot. I literally had to wake up the employees to check in after ten p m. Thor has a signed.How about using the dead bolt safety.But when you look at it, you can notice half the screws have been removed or are loose. The room has a refrigerator that is decently sized.But when opened it smells of chemical clean products. Tge coin operated laundry consists of two washers i did not see the drawers because the room was being used by a family who had a ton of laundry, it would not let me in. The shower yes, vote looked clean, but on my second day it was.Weeping some sort of liquid. I would not stay here again, not even if they paid me.

    The motel has an outdoor pet area, which is nice to have while traveling with a dog. The room was clean, bed was okay for comfort. The sink in the bathroom was clogged and smelled foul while running the water, but the toilet and shower worked just fine. No mini fridge for drinks.

    The room was clean and decent for a one night stay on our way to the airport with any early departure. There was some nightlife that lasted all night long across from us at a neighboring property that was a little annoying, but all in all I would stay anoother time. Next time I will ask for a room not at the back of the property.

    Great staff. Easy check-in. The room was generally clean. This was a real "no-frills" room... no refrigerator, no microwave, no coffee pot, no ice bucket, no tub, small tv, and no bedside (or other) lamps (3 ceiling white fluorescents). Some spots on the sheets, but otherwise the bed was fine. This is about as basic as it gets.

    On arrival we were greeted with a very unfriendly woman on the front desk who made us feel like we were a nuisance for checking in - we decided to go to Las Americas shopping outlet and on our uber ride home the uber driver warned us that we needed to be careful staying here as it was a dangerous hotel and the staff access the rooms and steal property. He gave us his phone number to call him if we felt in danger or if anything happened. The room was dirty and we only had sheets no blankets. It was VERY noisy with TVs playing very loud we couldn't sleep, people knocking on our door and walls at midnight. People stomping on the floor above us all night. I wouldn't recommend staying here at all.

    The state was okay, but I asked for a first floor and got a second floor room. The bed sitting on a metal frame makes too much noise.But overall everything was okay. T v too small for an old man to see.

    The night & daytime ladies were super nice and friendly. HOWEVER, the shower should be replaced and had black mold in the crevices. The bed was one of the worst that we've ever had the misfortune of 'sleeping' in. NOT impress whatsoever.

    One of the worst and unsafe properties I have ever stayed at. The parking lot is full of thieves and drug dealers and prostitutes, drug users and thieves waiting for people not to watch their belongings. The rooms are horrible with warped damaged presswood furniture, the fake wood floors are buckled from water damage like a springboard as you walk Across the room. The curtains are damaged and dirty with cigarette holes burned in them, I'm assuming to look out for police. The sheets are dirty and the bathroom is a nightmare of mildew and water damage. This property is not safe for humans and please remove it from available properties list and you should probably refund anybody who has ever stayed here. Absolutely terrible.
