    We loved the location and rooms have been remodeled with a ‘60s look so were cute.

    Needed some amenities and instruction on how to deal with the beach tar. Felt bad leaving the black stains on the towels and in the shower. A little bottle of baby or vegetable oil with explanation would have helped us and housekeeping.

    Excellent location and great value.

    Everything was great. Motel 6 is always simple and few frills, but it was very clean.

    The location of this hotel is incredible, across the street from the beach on Cabrillo. They provide rental equipment for the beach, a definite plus if you need it! The staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, incredible value for the money.

    The sheets were a bit rough and uncomfortable, the bed was a little stiff and the ac didn’t work all that well. Additionally the curtains didn’t block out all the light from outside and there were bright lights in the parking lot.

    Location was amazing. Rooms were clean and all items functioned as designed (shower heads, hair dryer, fridge).

    It is expensive, given it doesn't include any kind of breakfast. Staff at reception aren't very friendly and make no effort to interact or greet until you do

    Our room was lovely, the decor feels fresh and newly renovated. Location is fantastic, just steps away from the beach.

    There were three of us and only two towels. I got there early with my 80-year old parents and they would not let us check in 15 minutes early. We were going to be charged another $20 for 15 minutes early.

    Location, location location. Also, it is clean and it has free parking.

    Quite cold one night and no extra bedding in room. Had to ask and it was provided next day. No facility for making hot drinks in room. Could get coffee from reception in the morning. Reception was good at letting me have hot water for tea later in the day. A little noisy outside with people walking to and from room but seemed to settle down.

    Proximity to local attractions. Clean. Good showers.

    Location to the beach area, if you need decent clean accommodation without the cost, this place will do. We were located next to office, wasa bit hesitant at first, but did not once hear anyone. Rooms were quiet.

    We were in the end room next to the cleaners cupboard. There was some sort of machine that would kick in every now and again and would sound very loud through the wall, this wouldn't have been an issue but it did happen quite late when we were trying to sleep. I dont think this would be an issue in any of the other rooms though.

    The location was very good, it was so close to the beach. There was plenty of parking and the rooms looked quite new. We were satisfied with our stay.
