It needs upgrade for its furniture and plumbing, the location is perfect, the convenience and closeness to SD DT is great, but given the price in comparison to the conditions of the rooms it is not fair. Rooms need upgrade, plumbing needs maintenance and definitely change of furniture. Staff is very helpful and amazing, cleanliness is great

The front desk was slow. Parking was a surprise fee, I could of stayed somewhere cleaner with free parking and assigned parking was a joke. Ice machine didn't work. Carpets and walls were filthy. The bathroom was not wiped down as you could still see previous person's urine stains on the seat. I'm not a person that complains as I know the front desk people need their job and already had to deal with other unhappy customers, but I didn't think going for the deal online meant staying in such a poor quality place. I don't remember motel 6 being like this before. Thank you and I hope this helps somehow or maybe it'll get disregarded like the conditions, because this didn't happen overnight. It's been a problem.

Won't stay there again.

Carpet in hallway was filthy. Not enough towels. We asked for more and they only gave us 1more towel. We had only 1 washcloth between us. Bed was really uncomfortable. Gardeners work us up at 9am.

The crack-head in the room next door making verbal and physical noise, including banging the wall- beginning at 3:00AM, until I left at 6:00AM. I called the front desk twice and complained.

1. Though they claim there is free wifi, my room was not covered at all. I probably got the wifi signal for no more than 5 minutes over 3-day period. 2. They claim the check-in time at 3pm. When I got there by 2:36pm, I was told I need to wait for another 30 minutes though the room is available. 3. There is NO basic cleaning everyday. Is it standard for Motel 6?

Floor was dirty and had hair on the bathroom floor and underneath sink. Sheets had burn holes in the them assuming from someone smoking in the room. The room next door was loud all night and had someone screaming until 3am. Called the front to desk to complain but the screaming didn’t stop. Only good part was that it was close to the airport and had parking (but you have to pay $10/night to park there).
