Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Me and my friend stayed here during Thanksgiving. We booked last minute with fairly moderate price compared to other places. Staff were nice, and our room was clean. The location was super convenient, right next to SR-1. The only issue is that it could sometimes be noisy if the room is facing the highway. But overall it's good.”
“My husband and I stayed at this Motel 6 during the weekend. The check in was quick and easy with friendly front desk staff. The room was clean and comfortable and I would like to note that the water pressure in the shower is great and the water gets warm very quickly which is a big plus. We took the train so we walked to the Motel and back to the little down town area a few times. It's not far and is a safe walk, the bus stop is right outside so one could take the bus as well. This location is right near an Albertsons so you can easily pickup supplies or snacks if needed. We left the air conditioner on over night as I get warm and though I was comfortable my husband got a little cold. There is only one thin blanket and sheet on the bed. Anyone who gets cold should ask for an additional blanket at check in. We would definitely stay here again!”
