We are rounding up from 3.2 because of the price. The room was good enough to crash out. Not the best bed. No fridge. Some bulbs out. But unbeatable price. I didn't expect much. Got in at 2:15am. Friendly and fast check in. Out by 11.

I was thankful for the room upgrade. But the room was quite neglected. I know it’s a budget motel but the room literally had a terrible smell and the drain of the tub was also clogged leaving a nasty residue when the water drained. Would hope they do much better in the future.

Easy check in, easy access to room, room is clean from top to bottom, only recommendation is to add a password with the wifi, not have it public. Nice hotel and the light was on!

Terrible…I’ve stayed at Motel 6 east in Carlsbad and it had a totally different vibe. Service was very impersonal. Cleaners or employees were having full blown conversations out side my room from 7 am.

My key didn’t work, had to get a new one made. It’s how inconvenient it was all day, I had to get some one to open the door twice. Being a diabetic I asked for a refrigerator and they never brought it. So had to get large bag of ice! And naturally the ice machine was empty so had to wait for it to make Ice. The other machine wasn’t on because it was broken.
