Over priced & terrible rooms & location

Checking in was easy. When we got to the room we found out the AC was not working for the whole building & no plans to get it fixed during our stay. We reserved 3 rooms. One of the rooms bathroom was not cleaned & missing a screen on the window. All the rooms have a terrible smell. There a creek or something near by where homeless kept coming & going. We were on motorcycles & we didn’t feel comfortable leaving them out. We asked for a refund & we were all given a full refund which we are fretful for!

This place was horrible it was midnight with people screaming from the second floor on one side of the parking lot to the first floor on the opposite side. There was people hanging out in the parking lot drinking and having a party while their kids ran from one room to the other without supervision. The hotel had no air so everyone had to leave their windows open the rooms were an oven. My family was miserable the couple hours we were there and decided to drive the 2.5 hours back home without any sleep because of the conditions.

Subject: Request for Refund – Motel 6 Pismo Beach – AC Not Working I declined to stay at Motel 6 Pismo Beach under Expedia res. ########. The room had no working AC despite being advertised(for the entire property via sign posting on office door and hotel attendant re stating “you’re already getting a deal no more will be given to all guests in line, too bad no AC during a heat wave take or leave it!). Staff could not resolve or relocate me because the whole property had no working AC!!!!! At that point offer refunds not just say the booking sites were made aware!!!!! Then offer me no refund get tf out here!!!!! I’m requesting a full refund or written confirmation supporting a refund to my booking agency. I ended up getting a last minute suite a Hampton Inn Arroyo Grande. You should have contacted people before check in time so they could book elsewhere not have them greated by a sign and overwhelmed staff having to defend the company’s greedy tactics. If I wanted to pay for a third world experience I would have gone to a third world country during a heatwave. This is definitely not what I payed for!!!! Do NOT stay HERE it is in a run down state and catfish pics of the property. The room lacked functioning air conditioning, which was advertised and a material amenity. This is services not as described. Please escalate to a Tier 2/Customer Relations supervisor and review for a full refund under Expedia’s “Hotel amenities not available” policy and your merchant obligations.

The place looks run down. No lower-level rooms available. No AC. I have COPD and require AC in the summer. They said it was broken and may not be fixed today. After more questioning they admitted it had been broken more than a month and that no one was working on it. It was last minute Labor Day weekend, and I ended up finding another Motel 6 in a different city causing me to pay almost double. I recommend skipping this crap shack.

The AC was out in every until and we were not told until we got there, and it was too late to book with any other hotel due to the holiday. Room was filthy. Food was left in the refrigerator from last occupants. Cable on the TV was not working. Dryer was out of service. There was no ICE ready in the ICE machine. Pool was also filthy. I have stayed at this motel multiple times and this was my first bad experience there. Usually clean and convenient. Alot of unsatisfied customers this time. I really love this location and I hope they do better.

We drove 3hrs to the beach and when we got there they had a sign posted AC isn’t working. We told them there was no mention of it online when we booked the hotel. We checked in because we were excited to visit the beach and went to the room. The room was extremely hot even with the window open. We went back upfront to cancel the reunite there was about 20 people in line so we just left. I called the hotel and waited a total of 90+ mins any no one still answered the phone. We submitted a claim with Expedia to “try” and get our money back. We ended driving back home because all the other local hotels were completely booked. Waste of our time and gas.
