Trust me when I say, if you're thinking "wow! This looks great for a motel 6!" It isn't. Look, it was one night, so we survived. However, the lights were dim, the vanity light fixture was even broken. The shower floor and toilet had black stains, marks, and build up. The toilet had a little mold even. The floors weren't fully cleaned and there were pieces of dog food here and there. Underneath our stained sheets there was dog hair stuck to the mattress. We checked because the overall presentation had us worried about bed bugs. None of those thankfully. Here's what we thought, well it's just one night, we just need a clean bed. We ended up buying our own blankets from Walmart to lay on top of a "fresh" set of sheets so that it felt clean. Also, while it is a smoke free area, no one respects that rule. The room smelled like cigarettes. Very noisy by the freeway as well so we had to use white noise and blast the AC. Trust me fellow traveler, pay the extra for the nicer place or go with that air bnb. You will sleep so much better.

The front desk lady did not smile once. She almost looked mad to be there. Check in was pretty fast. The tv control wasn’t working when i got to room. I think showers are way too small. Overall it was just ok

Check-in was easy and simple. The main reason we chose this property was first; the price $100 a night, second; the location, distance to Legoland, so of course we didn’t expect valet or room service. The beds were amazingly firm and the shower was hot-hot which was much needed after our long days walking through Legoland. My 3-stars is based on the fact that we requested a first floor room since my husband is in a medical boot (they put us on the third floor) and we did not figure out which was the third floor elevator button until check-out. Also, we only had 2 towels in our room which were more like face towels and when I went to request more they did not have any available. ALL the staff was super friendly and there was other families at the hotel though I am assuming there are also some rooms that are being used as full-time residences since there was home decor in some of the windows.
Third floor button is the “Access Off” with the 2 arrows.

The staff was great, the overall stay was not good, they had unsecured internet that never worked, the blankets on the bed had a bunch of cigarette burns holes all over them, why would they re-use them like that? The surrounding activity was also not good, this is the worst experience stay I've had.

I only used the place basically for a clean bed to sleep and to shower at night. Most of the day I was out celebrating with my friends. The motel served my needs at an affordable price!

I had a disappointing experience at this Motel 6 location. The room had an unpleasant smell that made it uncomfortable to stay in, and it didn’t seem like any effort had been made to address it before check-in. Additionally, the towels provided were very limited — not nearly enough for a proper stay. For the price, I expected at least a basic level of cleanliness and comfort, but unfortunately, this stay fell short. I won’t be returning to this location and would not recommend it based on my experience.
