Motel 6

Staff was very friendly. Although recently renovated the room felt smaller than ever. The beds were hard as a rock and very uncomfortable. Bed spreads were stained and floors were scuffed. Also, the internet costs extra. I have been to this location a lot over the years but might not return after the latest.

The staff was very friendly and nice. The room was clean… and what I expected for a Motel 6. Got a great nights sleep… woke up to an amazing view of Morro Rock from our room. Will definitely visit again.
I am reading the other reviews posted this week… and our towels were clean. the check in kid was very polite… and I already knew that I don’t get anything but a bar of soap. so that was no surprise… I asked for extra towels and that wasn’t a problem… bummer they had such dirty rooms. ours was very clean…

I don’t even know where to start this hotel disgust me. I have been staying at motel 6 locations for years and it all comes to and end now. The customer service was horrible the kid at the front was rude and sketchy, he really wanted me to pay in cash for some reason. I still paid with my credit card and I’m glad because i am going to fight the charges. The hotel smelled like mold our wood floors were filthy, the sheets were dirty the counter top was filthy, the shower floor full of dirt and the bar of soap just thrown on the floor with no other shampoo or conditioner. After I finally got to shower when I got out and used the towel I was covered in hairs (pubic hair) I showered again drying myself off with my shirts. At this point I was furious and just left early in the morning, the whole experience was traumatizing and if in not contacted and reimbursed I will start a post about this location on Facebook making sure no one ever goes there.

I may be biased because I’m a fan of motel 6 because my family would stay in them all the time growing up in Arizona, but this location I thought was great!
The staff was friendly and helpful, my room was clean and had all the basic and necessary accommodations that you’d expect. I saw some previous reviews on this place and I found it just fine! Even their attempt to «update» their décor to modernize it from the traditional what you’d expect, it was pleasant.
It was on correct side of the freeway but wrong side of the hill and in my opinion from the main drag if you didn’t want to drive there and wanted to walk. Via a map, it was a bit deceiving as far as its prominence to the Morro bay centre, but it’s suffice. I realized the next day there’s a pedestrian path that helps one from having to cross under the freeway, walk down and back under the freeway again so that helps.
I think is actually stay here again despite the location because I actually don’t mind being a little secluded.

Very dirty rooms. The towels had pubic hairs, and the toilet had skid marks… Nice staff…

I personally have been staying at this hotel for about 17 years, once a year for the 4^th of July and I always book my room for the next year before I check out. This 4^th of July but a bit different. I have never been so disappointed. The rates were more $$$ then nicer hotels in the area. They bumped up my price without notifying me. They raise my price by $ 60 more a night. And I have 3 rooms reserved. And for me to have already been sitting there for over 17 years you would think they would call me and let me know the price difference.
The room floors were hardwood floors you can tell they weren’t mopped or wiped up I had to wash my feet twice while I was in the hotel because I was walking barefoot.
The beds were make but the sheets were wrinkled like a 8 year-​old made the bed. There wasn’t even a Kleenex box in the room. The towels were so worn out they hurt when you wipe your skin they were hard.
When we came back the next day and the room was supposed to be clean

the rooms are surprisingly nice! We got caught beach camping in 3 days of rain and decided on the last day of our honeymoon to really spoof things up and stay at Motel 6, the staff was friendly, the wifi was decent, the rooms were clean and the bed was really nice! for 70 bucks, it was well worth it! See you guys in the future!

GREAT VIEWS!!! Don’t know why some people complained! You are within 5 minutes of the ocean, fast food, and the freeway. And for under $ 100?! You get a bed, shower, and TV. What more could you ask for? The staff is wonderful, and its nice and quiet here. Haven’t used the pool :) Very pet friendly! Has coffee early in the am, a nice soda machine and snack machine. Will stay here again! Oh and rooms a bit small, but have always been clean!

Worst customer service experience with a hotel (motel) staff ever! Read on…
I booked a room at Motel 6 Morro Bay several weeks in advance of my arrival for Morro Bay’s 2015 «Avocado and Margarita Festival». I considered myself fortunate to even find a room, due to the combination of local events and the freshman Cal Poly class moving in to the area (with their families accompanying them to get settled), as pretty much all hotels were booked. As a testament to the scarcity of rooms available, I booked my DOUBLE occupancy Motel 6 Morro Bay room via
for $ 175.99 (!), which was the cheapest available.
In the early afternoon of our day of arrival, I called the property to see if we could check in one hour early. They advised that wasn’t possible due to their being too busy, and I was in fact told that I couldn’t check in till 4:00 pm (an hour later than the published check-​in time). No problem; I get it that it was a busy time for them.
At around 5:00 pm we arrived to check in. The front desk clerk advised us that he had a single queen room ready. What?! I booked a DOUBLE and had the email to prove it. I showed him the email (and by that time the hotel manager, «S.», had arrived). «S.» advised that they had a single occupancy room for me and because I booked third-​party (
) they had no obligation to accommodate me in any way. I told «S.» that this simply wouldn’t work for us and I left. I couldn’t believe it, especially at a rate of $ 175.99 for a MOTEL 6 ROOM!
I left the lobby having not provided the staff with my driver license or credit card, and not having signed ANYTHING (I had simply told them my name so they could look up the reservation). I reviewed my
reservation online while still in the parking lot and found that I could cancel the reservation without penalty or charge up till 5:59 pm «local hotel time». It was 5:20 pm, so I cancelled online within the terms of the cancellation policy.
We ended up finding a BETTER property to stay at in San Luis Obispo for only ~$ 14.00 more, which was a blessing and nothing short of a small miracle, given the impacted occupancy in the area at that time.
A couple days later, a noticed a $ 200.80 charge on my credit card from Motel 6 Morro Bay. I immediately called
. While it was obvious that the call center is overseas, the gentleman I talked to was VERY understanding, listened to my account, reviewed the documentation I had (including the DOUBLE occupancy booking and later, the cancellation confirmation), and subsequently contacted Motel 6 Morro Bay to request that they credit back the charge while I was on hold with him. A few minutes later he returned to speak with me only to advise that «S.» at the property did recall me leaving after she refused to honor the DOUBLE occupancy booking and considered me a «no-​show», thus charging me $ 200.80 for a room I refused. She gave no consideration to my DOCUMENTED cancellation within the terms of the cancellation policy and was steadfast in a refusal to refund the charge that had posted to my credit card.
To their credit,
acknowledged the total injustice, apologized to me (twice), and THEY (
) refunded the charge, at a loss to them.
Lessons learned: I will NEVER stay at a Motel 6 Morro Bay. Ever. I won’t dismiss the entire chain, as I believe this was (hopefully) an isolated incident secondary to a hotel manager that simply has no concept of customer service or ethics.
In the end, it worked out okay for ME. While I did have to spend time on the phone (at least three calls) and had to engage in an email exchange (at least ten emails) with
to fix things, I did have my money refunded. Unfortunately,
refunded it instead of the culpable party, Motel 6 Morro Bay and «S.»
Anyone would do wise to avoid this property. Another reviewer on Unilocal!advised he ended up retiring to his car to sleep as his room was intolerable. Apparently they are substandard in all respects.

Had trouble finding a pet friendly hotel on a busy August weekend along the central coast. Booked this hotel based on the Unilocal reviews and because nothing else was available. What a mistake. The room was truly filthy. The bathroom was covered in hair. My neighbors were drunk and angry by late afternoon, shouting and fighting. People hang out along the balcony and outside. The rooms are located in the parking lot, so there’s lots of noise throughout the night (car alarms, etc.). The positive Unilocal reviews have to be fake; this place was a total dump. The hotel is sandwiched between a highway, a public park, and a hazardous materials drop-​off facility. Avoid this place!

The best thing about this bare bones motel is that it is near the Morro Bay Rock, the beach and shopping/​dining.
Our room was decent enough, the beds were OK and somewhat comfortable.
As usual, this is a Motel 6, so don’t expect any shampoo.
I would recommend staying at this location for one night, but I wouldn’t want to do more than that.

Room was clean but very small. Unable to sleep as bed was very hard. Could feel springs when I moved. Provided two cheap pillows for queen bed. Slept in my car half the night because it was so awful and needed sleep. Sheets low thread and scratchy. Extra for Internet.

+Less than 5 min-​walk to the most beautiful shoreline in near areas.
+Real cheap and ppl are really helpful.
+Rooms were clean.
+There was a clean pool.
+AC was working :)
+Prices are lower than most places.
–There were no shampoo in the bathroom but it was OK
–Wi-​Fi is paid but still problem for Android devices
You should visit if you plan to stay in Morro Bay.

Great location, very close to Morro Bay’s beach, inexpensive, nice modernly remodeled rooms! I personally dealt with 3 front desk staff, 2 of which were younger men who were very pleasant. The 3^rd one, an older woman with a ponytail that helped me check out how ever was defiantly lacking in any charm. I will say, the outside could & should be cleaner!

Comfy, clean, cheap and walking distance from Morro Rock… Great place to stay while I was mini-​vacationing while working up here with friends. Staff are very laid back and accomodating as well. I would stay here again.

The Good.
1.Great location for the price.
2. Room was ok clean.
3. Hardwood floors.
4. Pool
5. Customer service was good.
6. Great AC
7. Spacious
The Bad
1. Found hairs in the bathroom. (Not a big deal for me)
2. Not enough electrical outlets in the room. So plan for that.

Four Stars for a Motel 6. Not a fancy place, but well worth the price and the convenience, being right off the freeway, but blocked by another complex.
Looked more boutique-​y than most motels. Clean (fake) hard-​wood floors. No carpet is a plus. Beds were clean. Furniture was newish and the bathroom was well maintained, although there was a hair on the towel, but it was long and straight, so I just pulled it off. Dogs are welcome without a problem.
Great find. Thanks!!!

Its a Motel 6, so I rate it highly based on Motel 6 standards. I’ve stayed there before and as Motel 6’s go, its pretty damned good. Clean. Quiet. Polite staff.
I just booked for a month from now on a saturday night in Feb 2014. Our Audubon group is staying there. $ 51.99 (+12%tax) for a couple. The two Morro Bay Best Westerns — best rates are $ 96.59 and $ 83.51. So, can’t beat the rates if you just want a clean comfortable room to sleep in.
The location at the junction of 41 (Atascadero Rd) and 1(Main St) is just north of Morro Rock, and its a short walk down Atascadero Rd to the Rock and the beach.

First: this is a Motel 6. Let’s lower our standards accordingly based on the fact that we are looking at a Motel 6 because we are cheap bastards that just want a bed and not to pay extra for tiny shampoo or artsy bedspreads.
Now, I lived in Morro Bay once for about a year, so I visit back often. The location is great. For comparable price you’d most likely be across the busy road. For more, you’d be close to the lovely tourist trap downtown. Here, you can smell and hear the ocean. Get a back room, you get a view of the Rock (a Motel 6 WITH A VIEW). You can wake up, lace up, and have a gorgeous jog starting from your door. And since it’s Motel 6, you can have that jog with your dog.
Some employees have been distant, some super nice, never rude or unwilling to help. They have at times failed to for example clean the restroom, but after checkin they call and ask if all is ok. Any problems, just politely tell them and it’s fixed.
If you want more amenities and service, no Motel 6 may be right for you. If you want cheaper, you may just need to stay outside the area. But if you’re used to the brand and want to stay in a lovely area, you will like it, maybe even love it. We stay here every time we go back, and have had good luck even when we call to book last minute.

Ok, so no one ever really looks forward to staying at a Motel6, but when you have to, it gets the job done.
I hosted an event at Tidelands park and this was the budget residence of choice. Seeing as how our event fell on the same weekend as the state fair, it wasn’t as budget as I’d hoped for at $ 109/​night. The price aside, we were able to get rooms for all of our club and there was (almost) plenty of parking — we took up the street parking out front.
The front desk clerks were pleasant, the room had all of the amenities as promised, and was as clean as I’d expect from a Motel6. While we had a non-​smoking room, there was strangely an ashtray in the room and surprise, surprise — the room smelled like cigarettes. The towels were one notch above a scruffy paper towel, so if you have sensitive skin, you should bring your own towels. While you’re at it, pack your own pillow and blanket too.
As far as location is concerned, there isn’t much around this one, but it was the next exit from Tidelands.
Jen Tip: If you’re arriving late and hoping to score late night grub — STOP at one of the fast food joints off of the 1 fwy exit BEFORE you get to the hotel, otherwise, you’ll have to back track 14+ miles for the Taco Bell that is open until 4 a.m. (The Taco Bell near this location closes at midnight or earlier if they’re slow).
