The staff were very friendly and helpful when needed. The Motel sits near a busy intersection and just off the highway. Was a little noisy, but the in window AC unit helped mask the highway sounds.

Property is huge but too noisy considering its beside the freeway. Bare minimum for amenities- just 1 snall bar of soap, 3 plastic cups. No coffee maker no fridge.

Nice central location, close to the beach. The room was smaller than I thought, and it offers zero amenities. Coin laundry is cash only and vending machine prices were super high. If you’re going just to shower and sleep, this motel is fine. Not the cleanest, but not the worst. Lots of pot smoking smell during our stay from other guests.

The property was okay, room clean except there was some debris on the floor. Room is super tiny, was unexpected but for good for one night.

Perfect location for the 78 & I-5 is close by. This Motel 6 is my favorite motel/hotel to stay at due to the friendliness of all the staff. The rooms are renovated with nice mattresses that I do not wake up in the morning with aches, stiffness in muscles and the bed pillows provide comfort, also. There is ample parking on all sides of the property with plenty of handicap spots.

Rooms appeared to be updated but floors were dirty. Bathroom and shower had patches and mold. There was a smell in the whole room as if there is no air circulation and its just swampy in there. Checking in/out staff was really nice and friendly. Located in front of a shopping area and lots of food options. We were just disappointed in the condition of the room.

It was convenient location. Several car alarms were going off and didn’t sleep much. The room didn’t have a refrigerator nor a microwave. Could have been due to some modeling?

Room smelled like cigarettes. Bathroom was disgusting. Brown marks on the toilet seat. Shower was full of mold and looked like it had never been cleaned before. Unacceptable conditions. Poor experience.

The property itself is not bad having a good location close to shopping better and dining areas but from other side it stand along the road. So the noise from road is awful. It seems the owners have invested in renovations and want to position the hotel as a clean and modern budget-friendly option. However, the lack of cleanliness in the room — and extremely poor housekeeping standards — seriously detracts from the overall experience. It was awful.
