Stay here for the price not the comfort

Customer service at the hotel was amazing. However there was no air conditioning for 3 days! Beds are very uncomfortable! Not near the train station. Price was good though.

Location Isn't Everythin,

For my 2 night stay I was charged $50 for parking. This was shocking. Also my room was VERY, very tiny and yet I was charged more than a $100 a night. The only thing this Motel 6 has in favor is a good central San Diego location. But, I will NEVER stay at this Motel 6 again.

Refund please...

This Hotel was extremely dirty and unsafe. There were homeless individuals laying just outside the front doors to this Hotel. We checked in and to find out more homeless individuals were walking around the hallways on different floors. Upon entering our room, the room was dust central. Dust had settled everywhere. Filthy bed and dirty sheets. We had one of the worst experiences ever.

friendly staff, clean facility. the surrounding area is noisy. it is in a prime location at an affordable price. i would stay at this location again but book a premium room.

2/10 Poor

Traumatizing

ATTEMPTED FORCED ENTRY BY STAFF. we were told we were chosen as guests of the day which included a complimentary checkout at 12. The next day, a staff member continuously kept harassing us about checking out as we kept informing them about the 12pm checkout. Ultimately they returned and tried to FORCE their way in as i was changing my clothes! Since my partner was there, they were able to keep the door shut bc of the extra lock and once again informed them about being the guests of the day when they finally left us alone!

Needs renovation but great customer service

The hotel was not to the standard of the photos posted. Motel 6 needs to be renovated. We had a 2 day stay over Labor Day weekend . I was not aware of the parking rules unexpected expense and experience if the parking spaces are full you have to park down the street and there is a charge we paid $20 a day but was able to get a parking spot the next stay . A lot homeless outside, smelled like be when we first arrived outside. However Lani the first desk associate was really amazing and accommodating.
