Not bad at all
Place is good for the price they offer. I didn’t spend a lot of time at the hotel so it was a good place to rest my head. Bathroom towels were crazy small though.

How Low Can You Go
Not sure what other Motel 6's look like but this was a deplorable property. Not the Motel 6 of my childhood. Front desk staff was nice enough but the building, elevator, stairwell were disgusting. Room was what appeared clean but it was hard to get through the rest of it. We received a full refund and moved to another hotel.

Light fixtures were falling and ants were in the restroom. Key card is like the rest of them. It’s not magnetic. It’s an insert. Ac super loud intermittent loud. Worse part couldn’t sleep for days. Staff is friendly but busy. Only one at the desk. They get the job done.

Different pictures.
The pictures on the website do not represent the rooms. Rooms are old, they sprayed too much room refresher smell was overwhelming. Bathroom had cigarette burn marks on the seats. Old. There was a safety pins on the seat.

The hotel is centrally located in San Diego with a large number of restaurants and stores in the area. Overall, for the price this hotel is satisfactory.
