~$700 and not on day did they clean the room NO AC
We were there for three nights at a cost of nearly $700 and (1) the AC did not work and (2) they never cleaned the room!!!!! We asked but every day we came back beds were unmade, no new towels, garbage not removed, etc.

The bed was the worst bed EVER!!!
People walking up and down the hallway talking, knocking on my door looking for some dipshit tweeker twice. After I yelled at them to go away the went next door and woke that guy up and he yelled at them also….. I’ll never use this chain again!

Good stay, you get what you pay for
It was okay. It’s a motel 6 so you get what you pay for, either way it was simply a place to sleep for us and it worked out. I’ve heard pretty bad horror stories from other Motel 6 experiences so this one seemed great in comparison. The receptionist was nice enough to get us into another room because the other room had a broken toilet. I’m happy with the outcome and I’m glad that we didn’t have any crazy poor experiences with the room. Our situation was a little bit unique in the way that the Motel 6 in Salinas tried to scam us by doubling the price for half the amount of time. I’m more thankful that this motel 6 did not do the same to take advantage of travelers during the very busy “Monterey Car Week”.

Bed was very comfortable. Pillows were lacking and quite flat, making sleep uncomfortable.

Cheap
Let’s just say it’s a place to lay your head when you need for just a night. Rooms are extremely small. Floor lifting. Paint is bad. Bathroom smelled like mold. Full of illegals

One of the worst motel 6s I have ever stayed in but they do have a large parking lot wich is needed when you have a huge truck and trailer but other than that I felt like I had to sleep with one eye open beds where not that good and there wasn’t even a light in the ceiling when we walked in so we had to make are way to the bathroom or the lights over the bed to see
