Motel 6 San Diego – Chula Vista

Rooms are nice beds very uncomfortable (need box springs). Someone’s car alarm was going off all night rude person just let it go on and on. Very small rooms, bathroom smelled like urine. There was a rift raft of people meeting in the parking lot. Will proably not stay there again.

Getting a one star because I can’t give any less. My daughter and her boyfriend stayed here and after they checked out they realized that the had forgotten two Target bags FULLLLLL of stuff. They went back the same day, only to be told that the room was already «cleaned» and everything was thrown away as trash. YEAH RIGHT!!! When I called the Manager said there were items not logged in and they would check housekeeping, THEN the story changed back and they said there were no items and that my daughter or her boyfriend left the door open. This place is a real dumpster. You are better off sleeping in your car with the doors unlocked in a dark alley.

I found an empty meth bag in the bible and a prostitute was staying in the room next to me. I wasn’t expecting much better, room looked modern at least but it was loud af, can totally hear the neighbors… like I said, wasn’t expecting the Four Seasons

Never got a full refund even though they said I would get one back. .i was charged for the whole day even though we were there for only few minutes.

The room smelled like sewage and the parking lot did not feel safe. There were homeless people with their dogs and crack heads sitting in their cars drinking alcohol. Where is security? When I asked for a new room the next day because of the smell, front desk lady, Rae said «Did you say something yesterday when you checked in?» We didn’t get a new room because they were booked. But someone should have came and checked the room out. Hope me or my significant other do not get sick from that room. Wow. Now I know why this location had 2 ½ stars.
Again, when we walked in we noticed an odor but we’re only there to get ready for NYE so the following morning when we extended our stay for another night I informed the front desk staff, Rae. Rae’s response was «Did you let anyone know yesterday when you checked in? Sorry, we do not have any other rooms avail». Management should have been informed and they should have came and smelt the shower drain (I have a picture of the shower that looked like it had not been cleaned in a year).
Around 2am on New Years the guest in room 102 which is right next to the office was locked out and was pounding on the door yelling for «Anthony» for about a good 45 min. I attempted to call the office since no one was telling them to be quiet or give them a spare key but the phone did not have a dial tone!
Will never go to this Motel 6 again and no one else should either for their own safety. Go to Mission Valley location!

This place was so bad it was soooooooooo ghetto and I live in LA. Trust me when I tell u lol so many young men and woman hanging around all over the motel and all right there by mc Donald’s. I can say tho when it became night it all seemed to have scattered it was very peaceful there was a security guard (wearing a bullet proof vest). We would always stay here when traveling to Chula Vista. It’s nothing like before. Oh and to top it off there were all kinds of dogs ! And dog hairs all over the blankets my mom and I were so itchy !!! It was very inconvenient.

Melissa, Sergio and the rest of the crew. amazing people and customer service skills. they go out of there way for results and right away. i just cant say enough about the customer service here. keep up the good work and great attitude guys.

One word. ROACHES.
Seems no one in this hotel sleeps, they say it’s smoke free but there’s about 10 smokers out right now. The rooms smelled off, no microwave, no fridge, no hair drier. Dimly lit just awful.

First off, I’m only giving this place 1 star for the close proximity to amazing food. Definitely get breakfast at Aunt Emma’s (get there early, it gets packed). and try Napolimania Pizza on Broadway.
This might be the worst Motel 6 I have ever stayed at. I usually pick Motel 6 because it is affordable and being pet friendly I can bring my dog on trips with me vs. putting her in a kennel which she hates. I have never had a complaint before about any Motel 6 that I have stayed at.
At check in, there’s a big sign that says your ID for each occupant will be faxed to the Chula Vista Police Department and there’s no exceptions. Any guest you have to your room, even if they are not staying there with you, must also check in at the office and give them a copy of their ID as well to be faxed. I’m not sure whether it’s because this place looks like a step up from a crack hotel or whether it’s because it’s 7 miles from the border. probably both.
Don’t even bother trying to use the internet for $ 2.99 a day. They will tell you up front it’s for checking email only, it will not support Youtube, Netflix, etc. I just used my hotspot on my phone.
When I booked online back in April, I booked with no preference of smoking or non smoking, just a first floor preference. I have since become pregnant, and asked for a non smoking room at check in. They supposedly switched me to a non smoking room, but when I opened the door, it was like someone had freshly smoked a cigarette in there. I was gagging. No amount of opening the windows and using the AC helped. It smelled like a nasty ashtray the entire 2 nights I was there.
The room was also infested with fruit flies. There were at least 5 – 10 fruit flies. I managed to kill 2 or 3. I cannot stand fruit flies… I was batting them away from me when trying to eat in my room.
The water pressure in the shower head was SO bad, that I could barely wet my hair. and I was unable to rinse the shampoo out of it, so I had to get on my hands and knees in the tub with my head under the tub spout. The tub also drained really, really slow. Probably clogged with nasty hair like other pics that people have posted, but I was not going to find out.
The worst part though, was the bed. I might as well have slept on the floor. That might have been more comfortable. The bed felt like a slab of plywood, absolutely no cushion to it whatsoever. The pillows were flat as well. Thankfully I brought an extra one with me from home. I tossed and turned all night long and only passed out from eventual exhaustion of tossing and turning because I couldn’t get comfortable.
The room was also REALLY small. It might be the smallest room I’ve ever stayed in at a Motel 6.
The only positive thing was the A/​C. It was SUPER cold and it was a really hot weekend, so I was appreciative of that.
I would never stay here again… not for almost $ 80 a night. I’ll go down the street to the Days Inn or Howard Johnson and pay more. it would be worth it for sure.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for one night and we were less than happy with the service. Main issues: 1) my boyfriend had called the office asking for more pillows and was told, twice as he had called again after not getting any, that they would bring him some. He later asked the manager about it (as he still hadn’t gotten any) and she told him that they don’t bring extra pillows to the room.
2) if you want WiFi, go elsewhere. They CHARGED for their WiFi which was too slow to even use, including basic internet browsing. When we asked about it the next day the only response the manager gave was that we should have complained the day before! No refund, no apology, nothing.
3) if you want to bring guests to hang out after ten pm, the charge you per person, regardless of if their sleeping there or not.
4) finally, this motel 6 is mute than willing to break the rules to make an extra buck. While we waiting in line to pay for a guest we overheard her allow the couple in front of us to check into their room without any govt official ID. After making a fuss over how they weren’t allowed to do that the manager made an exception.
Overall this particular motel 6 is only concerned with making money, regardless of the service is customers get.
Two stars: the room was nice

Wifi here is $ 3 a day and complete GARBAGE. Trying to watch a video? Forget about it. Trying to load that gif? Nope. It’s so freaking slow that I’m writing this from my smartphone because I’m so annoyed… its 2015 people… P. S. Wifi is one device per room… really?

Not bad for last minute booking for Comicon Convention. Small room but cozy and updated. A little bit over priced for the size but can’t complain for last minute. Friendly welcome at front desk and friendly house keeping staff. I always stay here when in San Diego.

This Motel 6 is the worst motel I’ve ever stayed in, but we needed somewhere to stay last minute during San Diego Comic Con, so we were stuck. The room ended up being over $ 200 per night after all of the taxes and fees. I get that hotels are in high demand during SDCC, but stay somewhere else if you can. This place is worth MAYBE $ 60 per night outside of SDCC. The room smelled like cigarettes even though it was non-​smoking, it was dirty feeling even though the place had been recently renovated, the walls were so thin I could hear the people in the room next door watching TV, they don’t even have tissues in the rooms, and the pillows were thin and complete garbage. I have no complaints about the neighborhood that it was located in– I never felt unsafe. This motel was just bad.

Unimpressed. Rates high for the area, amenities minimal. I asked in reservations for non-​smoking, was given smoking upon arrival. Was told nothing else was available. Nefarious persons hanging around motel grounds at night.
I’m usually satisfied with Motel 6 but do not recommend this location.

Although we enjoy staying at Motel 6, and we really like the newly updated rooms, our stay last night was less than average.
The sink — hot & cold water lines connected backwards (and we looked underneath, they were marked red & blue) — duh!
Bathroom sink didn’t drain — duh!
Mixer valve in shower wasn’t working. You either got cold water or scalding hot water — duh!
Did I mention the extended cable service reception was extremely poor. My in car 12v TV gets better reception.
Why did we not complain? Upon arrival we had to call the desk just to get the bathroom light ballast replaced, as it would only flicker and not come on. We did get a prompt response.
We were just exhausted from working all weekend and driving and just wanted a nice shower and comfy bed.
We did let the front desk know about the above issues when checking out. They just wrote it down and wished us a nice day.
Pretty unfortunate experience :(

I stayed here for three nights. Was a pleasant experience. Room was a set of Queen beds. Housekeeper came by daily to ask if we wanted services. They allow pets! Laundry services on site. It’s fairly centrally located. McDonald’s is right across the parking lot. The Chula vista trolley stop is walking distance too.
The trolley does honk is horn when incoming into the station. And the rail crossing does ring. However, it’s not train loud. The trolley is a light rail. The thing can barely be heard if you have the TV on.
Lots of great places to eat around. Yum yum donuts and Dennys down the street. And gas station at the corner. It’s an AM PM.
The good:
Pets allowed
Daily housekeeping
Hbo and showtime free from cable
Nice towels
Ac in rooms
Clean rooms, no bugs!
The bad:
No fridge
No microwave

God bless my soul.
I didn’t feel safe nor did I sleep well at all! I grew up sleeping in Motel 6’s but this location was the least enjoyable. The fact that we had to have our ID’s faxed to the police before checking in was the alert that this place was dangerous. Since the border is nearby, I wasn’t too surprised.
Even if you’re just gonna have a homeboy come and chill for a bit, they STILL have to get screened by the police but it’s not like any of the guests would abide by it. And it doesn’t stop there — it’s RIGHT NEXT to a fucking railroad. My brother and I woke up at 2am to the sounds of horns and rumbling trains. Yes, the building shaked.
Motel 6 is bad enough so to have a background screening during check-​in and to have freight trains passing by at night makes this place memorable. This is only a good place to fuck a hooker then bounce!

Place is CLEAN
Security guard every night
Staff is helpful and curtoeus
Not fancy but at least its cleaner than most and they work on keep drug infestation out.
Negatives:
No coffee maker, No toiletries, No Iron, No Microwave, No free Wi-​Fi, No fridge.
Water in tub was standing so I took off cap and pulled a huge glob of slimy hair.
I poured bleach and washed tub. No problems after that.

All things considered, not bad. My room at this location was very clean, and for the most part, kind of quiet. I stayed in #121, which is located right next to the pool. Yes, it will be loud at times during the day yet after 9PM, as quiet as a church.
The location of this Motel 6 is smack dab right next to I-​5 and possibly a couple of miles from the beach (I didn’t go on this trip). It is behind the McDonald’s and a convenience store/​gas station, and has a gated lot. Locating this Motel 6 may be a little challenging at first when using your GPS, since you’ll see the McDonald’s plus its drive-​thru in the area that you should see the motel parking lot.
As expected, the internet is $ 2.99 per night, which turned out to be a bargain. For some reason, I had the worst signal from my carrier when trying to access my WiFi hotspot as well as in getting a call out. In using the Motel 6 internet, I didn’t have any issues. In fact, the signal was above average.
And yes, you’ll see your fair share of «interesting people» while at this location. I look at it this way: if you don’t bother them, they won’t bother you. I had one female ask me for help to find her room, when in actuality, the room was 6 feet in front of her. No worries.
Overall, I felt that this was a convenient location in order to access I-​5 to at a decent price of $ 49 per night. The staff was fine, and I didn’t find them to be a bit rude despite witnessing other people act rude or snarky to them. This location met my expectations of a Motel 6 and I was safe, so that’s all that mattered to me.

Stayed here for a trip to Sea World. First, staff was rude when we arrived. I don’t think they knew that my girlfriend and I spoke Spanish and we understood all the crap they were talking. Once they realized we were lesbians, all we got were stares — enough that I walked out of the office.
Next, the halls/​walkways to get to the room smelled SO badly of urine that I gagged more than a few times. I was speed walking to the room.
The room was surprisingly nice, however unless you are a legal midget, good luck showering. I’m pretty small and even for me it was hard. Plus the water pressure sucks. Took forever to shower. Thank goodness we brought our own towels because theirs were covered in hair.
Housekeeping never once came. The A/​C was ridiculously freezing. People sitting outside their rooms, drunk. Very uncomfortable. But for the price you pay, what do you expect?
