Great stay. They make you have a physical card for some reason. Why not a tap option?

Not a bad room for a quick night stay. But I wouldn’t want to stay more than one night. It is conveniently located off highway 8 and light rail, which also means there’s a bit of noise, but not the worst I’ve ever heard. The the motel is in fairly decent shape, but nothing to ride home about. And there are next to no amenities. By that I mean, refrigerator or coffee maker in the rooms. The bed is somewhat comfortable. The pillows are horrible.

I have stayed here previously and enjoyed the one front desk agent who has a little girl, but everyone else is some of the worst people I have come across in my life. A young, incompetent girl was hired who cannot speak correctly or listen and feels like the only ploy she has for retort is to be rude to people when the property has an issue. DO NOT STAY HERE; you will regret it! There is another Motel 6 down the street in La Mesa that is cleaner, nicer, and all around run by better staff. Plus there are better places across the freeway and really better priced than this place.

My Motel 6 Review. Smooth it out please: When I arrived, I asked if there was a first floor room. Upon checking, the young lady said yes and that it was the same price as the upstairs room. I was very happy about that. I unloaded the car and brought everything in and then as I looked around, I realized there was no fridge or microwave. I was very surprised about that, but then, I don't normally stay at Motel 6. I called the desk and asked, and was informed I should've known this. How would I know??? I thought every room had both! I asked if I could have the room upstairs that I was supposed to have. I was told yes, but it would cost me an additional $22! How could that be?? In any case I was hung up on by the young woman. About 15 minutes later she called to say her boss said I could have it for the same price. I was already ready for bed, so I said I would deal with it in the. morning. I called around 6:45am and had the room changed. When I arrived upstairs, there was a fridge and micro on top of it. The fridge was plugged in but the micro was not. The reason it wasn't is because the cord didn't reach! I had to move the micro over to the desk under the TV as that was the only plug nearby. The plug didn't work properly and I had to hold it to get the micro to work. At least I had them! Other issues included no hot water. Shower was tepid. TV did not work. Floor was sticky. Bath mat was stained. Lock on the door was missing a piece. Both ice machines did not work.
How far the microwave cord reached from sitting on top of the refrigerator
Where the microwave and refrigerator were upon my arrival
Faulty plug I had to use for the microwave
No ice - there was a second icemaker to the right which also did not work.
