This was my first time ever booking a hotel for myself. I got confused when the lady at the front desk asked me how many adults would be staying in the room, because while I was the only person sleeping in the room, I planned to have someone visit me. When I started to express my confusion, the lady at the front desk became extremely rude and condescending. This is the single worst customer service experience I have ever had, and the only time I've ever been upset enough to post a review. I will never stay at this property again, and will probably avoid ever staying at any Motel 6 location ever

The room was small and lack luster compared to rooms I’ve stayed in the past. There was a few sketchy people that lived here as well. However the room and site were very clean and housekeeping stopped frequently. It was actually cleaner than a Marriot room I stayed at in the past.

Very uncomfortable beds but good service

I was excited to find a more reasonably priced hotel in SLO but my back regrets it. The bed was so very uncomfortable- very lumpy and uneven and should have likely been replaced years ago. Everyone who worked there was friendly. The rooms were reasonably clean albeit outdated.

This is a no frills place. It had simple conveniences like a bed, tv, microwave and small fridge. There was no shampoo, conditioner, lotion, blow dryer or any extras. It’s good for the price if you just need a place to rest.
