Where do I start. I've stayed at a few Motel 6 locations and this one by far was the WORST. Online it says free WIFI.. its not you have to pay $2.99 per/ night. The ladies at the front desk were very rude and unprofessional. Once we got into or room it smelled of animal. (dog, cat or maybe a... More

I recently moved back to California after living in the midwest for years. My stay at this location was approximately 45 days. During this time I witnessed things I had only seen on the news. Many druggies, homeless and various hoodlums live in and around this motel. The manager lives on site and it appears many of these people are... More

This place offers an excellent price per night, which is the main reason why we chose to stay here, but be careful, the office staff is very rude and do not have any clue what good customer service is about. I called the front desk asking for clean towels and the woman in the office said there was no clean... More

When we checked in there were no towels in the room. My husband called the desk and they said to come down and get them. My husband told them it was their responsibility to supply the room, not ours. The toilet got plugged and again, we called the desk and they said to come down and get a plunger because... More

The things I did like about my stay was that the air conditioning worked the entire time and the water never ran cold. I was very please with those two things and whenever I needed more towels I was supplied with them 24/7. The beds were not to bad but they did not have enough pillows. The television worked but...

Very surprised when I checked into the room the other day. For 43 bucks a nite I wasn't expecting too much. The room was spotless, good size and most of all the staff was really nice and just very helpful. Not a big fan of the neighborhood. It is right next to the 8 freeway and you get some noise... More

My family has had to stay at this motel 6 several times. This time the GM said he couldnt rent to us again, because our last room smelled like dogs! Wait they except pets, so I guess we didnt fit their clientel. We are prostitutes, druggies, recently released from prison and we always clean up after our pets as well... More

We had no towels and the room smelled like urine. One of the twin beds were lop sided. When I woke up the next morning, my back was aching. When we checked out, management refused to give me back photocopies of our driver license information. They stated that it was city policy and they will destroy our personal information after...
