Good

The door closure requires significant force, resulting in a substantial gap at the bottom. The shower is compromised by an unusual odor emanating from the tub, and mold or dirt is present in the caulking around the tub. The beds are not sufficiently comfortable.
Great little stop, conveniently located next to the freeway and gas stations, cvs, grocery stores and dining facilities. Not far from Downton SB and local beaches .
The room was clean. The beds were uncomfortable. And this next comment is not the hotel's fault, however, if you're going to stay here, please know it is VERY NOISY outside and the walls are thin. We did not sleep well.
Out biggest complaint is that it seems like truckers stay here a lot and they left with their big loud trucks at 6am BOTH mornings we stayed here. It was VERY loud and woke us up. I understand the motel staff can’t help that but they should have warned us and offered ear plugs. We would have appreciated that. The beds were on the softer side as well so our sleep wasn’t good. Staff was friendly though.
Got the last room available... Corner room, 1st floor. Felt a little small but was fine for what the room was used for. Good water pressure. It, wasn't the first time I've stayed in a Motel 6 and I certainly don't think it will be the last time I stay at a Motel 6
