Absolute terrible stay. We would have been better off sleeping in our vehicle. Room was filthy, bed was like sleeping on an air mattress that needed so, everytime my husband moved we both rolled to the middle. There were obvious drug deals going on in the parking lot and lots of unsavory guests lurking around. I would definitely recommend staying elsewhere. We ended up checking out a day early because of the awful conditions. Also motel located on busy road with lots of traffic. Pay the extra money and stay elsewhere

Motel 6 is really good basic value. Clean room, plenty of hot water, good water pressure. Pool appears ni e and clean but did not use. Easy to walk to Dune Coffee Roasters, Albertson 's grocery, Sprouts, Yougertland, pizza, Chinese, etc. Something for everyone. Easy hwy 101 access. As single woman, felt perfectly safe.

Just bottom of the barrel overnight stay for $$$. No tissues or hair dryer, iron, air conditioning sub standard, ants & spiders, dirty floor, Great TP!! Tiny space! However, the town was booked, this hotel was FULL, so here we stayed…and slept! 👍

Check-in was definitely sub-optimal. The card reader/coder wasn't working, so we couldn't get keys. The desk clerk opened the door for us, but obviously we couldn't come and go as we wanted, without having the clerk open the door again. This continued the next morning. I honestly don't recall ever having this issue, so we were definitely unpleasantly surprised...
