This one had bloody finger prints on the inside of the door and the water smelled so weird I made it a point to get bottled water. The room next to us blast at the TV all night and the guy working the desk couldn’t be bothered to say a single word to me when I checked in. That brief glimpse was the only staff I saw in my two nights stay, and no, no one cleaned up our room after the first night. I hesitated to write a review because I don’t wanna hurt Small Business owners and I know that Motel 6 locations are franchises, but this was something that other travelers should know about. I was bummed I wasted my Expedia points on it. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Patrik 19 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The location was great. The price was kinda high considering the rooms and amenities. The pictures definitely over sold the room. It seems as if they’re renovating slowly and in a shoty fashion. We found better rooms for cheaper after our first night. ##### Patrik Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Johana 15 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I didn’t stay in this place, looks scary and rooms to small and the area not good. ##### Johana Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lucena 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Staff & service it’s kind of noisy ##### Lucena Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle 16 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This was a very clean room and they had just done improvements on the location and the room. Only thing that was bad was our room did not have shampoo or conditioner and per other guests asking at the front office they did not have any either. The one gentleman was told at 0715 am that he would have to wait til 0900 to get shampoo. I walked the couple blocks down the road and bought some at the gas station. ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Wendell 13 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Registration was easy and man super helpful and friendly. ##### Wendell Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### scott 17 Jun 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Don’t waste your time this place is a pit ##### scott Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Priscilla 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities First and foremost the cleaning staff (Ladies) were very nice and polite. Parking on the other hand was very limited and ppl were double parked. I know it's out of their control, but ppl were very inconsiderate being noisy at night, along with the issues of the homeless being on grounds. ##### Priscilla Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 7 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean and convinient ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kimpton Everly Hotel Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-Everly-Hotel-Hollywood.h17524828.Hotel-Information) > > [Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Manchester-Grand-Hyatt-San-Diego.h12073.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Ocean-View-Hotel.h19135.Hotel-Information) > > [The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Godfrey-Hotel-Hollywood.h32945867.Hotel-Information) > > [Biltmore Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Millennium-Biltmore-Los-Angeles.h25715.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Lake Pool & Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Silver-Lake-Pool-Inn.h34504058.Hotel-Information) > > [Level Los Angeles Downtown - South Olive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Level-Los-Angeles-Downtown-South-Olive.h10649672.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Los Angeles Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-CitizenM-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h65299564.Hotel-Information) > > [Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coronado-Hotels-Coronado-Island-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h25270.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Figueroa, an Unbound Collection by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hotel-Figueroa.h8805682.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Roosevelt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Hollywood-Roosevelt.h34142.Hotel-Information) > > [W Los Angeles - West Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Los-Angeles-West-Beverly-Hills.h25974.Hotel-Information) > > [Mondrian Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Mondrian-Los-Angeles.h4798.Hotel-Information) > > [W Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Hollywood.h3084874.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Bahia-Resort-Hotel.h18241.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton La Peer Hotel West Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-La-Peer-Hotel.h18156733.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wayfarer San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Wayfarer-San-Diego.h15555.Hotel-Information) > > [The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-London-West-Hollywood-At-Beverly-Hills.h21097.Hotel-Information) > > [Cornell Hotel de France](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Cornell-Hotel-De-France.h1222727.Hotel-Information) > > [Clarion Hotel Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Clarion-Hotel-Anaheim-Resort.h3893.Hotel-Information) > > [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Franklin Hotel near Universal Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Adler-A-Hollywood-Hills-Hotel.h9761.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sun Rose West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Sun-Rose-West-Hollywood.h57961536.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barnes San Francisco, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Villa-Florence-San-Francisco-On-Union-Square.h5425.Hotel-Information) > > [HOLLYWOOD VOLUME, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-HOLLYWOOD-VOLUME.h62585670.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton San Francisco Union Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hilton-San-Francisco-Union-Square.h25622.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego Downtown/Bayside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-San-Diego-DowntownBayside.h13155016.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Fishermans-Wharf-San-Francisco.h22500.Hotel-Information)
