Motel 6

Motel 6’s in different areas are run abut differently. This one had a larger room then the last one were at and more spacious. About 20 min to the Hearst Castle. Recommend as a place to stay if on a budget. The breakfast and coffee I wasn’t thrilled about so you may want to try breakfast elsewhere for the price. The staff was nice and helpful. Was quite in the area so didn’t hear any traffic. Heater didn’t work but the room was clean. Free wi– fi also.

Wow, couldn’t believe how clean this Motel 6 is! Was a little worried about the crowd it might attract, but they were quiet and we hear no noise from 9pm on. Nice view from our room too.
One thing, don’t go through Expedia, deal directly with the Motel 6 here. Expedia charged us for a fridge and microwave and overbooked rooms with those amenities. Motel 6 made it right.

Not bad. Clean and fairly priced. Front reception staff were very sweet and helpful. There was a group of rude French men not being very nice to them and the ladies handled it in stride.
Cons: small bath towels, vending machine prices are astronomical (shampoo packet was 2.60!), and they were all out of bottled water.
Pros: staff, location and price. Just what you would expect from a motel6. Not the Sheraton but not as bad as it could get!

DONT COME TO THIS HOTEL. GO TO ANY OTHER HOTEL AT SAN SIMON. We understand we should not expect too much from motel 6, but the customer services suck. A young lady helped us check-​in, and she never gave us the wifi code and never asked us which floor we preferred to stay. The gentleman who helped another customer directly asked that customer which floor he wanted to stay. Is this kind of racist? Also we found out we did not have to pay to get a wifi code when we went to the counter and planned to buy. Another lady helped us and she gave us the code. Then we asked if they had a hair dryer. Alright, it is ok if you do not have hair dryer. We get it. But seriously lady, your tone sounds like a jerk. At least you could say, «sorry, we do not have it.“That lady (pretty sure it is the lady checked us in) rudely said in phone, «NO!» I wish Motel 6 has a complaint line, and I can call.

I came here off season, so the rates were really cheap. The rooms were clean. and believe me. I inspect rooms and beds to make sure they are clean.
I liked the wooden floors and the staff was all really nice. IT is across the street from the beach. There is a restaurant attached, but it seemed a little pricey for me.
The rooms was really big, too and of course, dog friendly. The only thing that I could see that might be considered a con is that the internet is pretty non-​existent. Personally, I did not care. I was there to relax and enjoy the beach. not spend time online. So I would definitely come here again.
If traveling with your dog and you are just looking for a safe and clean spot to rest. then this works. I am good with that.

I’m upping this location to 4 stars. The bed was comfortable, the desk clerk was helpful, and there is a restaurant on site. This stay on awoke to the sounds of hundreds of hummingbirds in a nearby tree,
I confess, I am a fan of the Motel 6 chain These motels seem to be everywhere I want to go. And where I sleep is not a big concern of mine. This location is nicer than most Motel 6 I’ve stayed at.

I am not a complainer, and I know its a motel, but didn’t expect to see toenail clippings in a key dish… its really discusting!

Stayed here for a night while passing through after a visit to the evening tour at Hearst Castle. The lady at check in was very friendly and efficient, the beds were fairly comfortable for a «cheap» motel and the restaurant was surprisingly good (try the nachos) if on the expensive side.
There’s ample parking and the air conditioning in our room worked just fine.
In terms of the «cons», there’s no hairdryer, the towels are practically paper-​thin (bring your own if you can) and the bathroom was really quite disappointing. See my pics for lots of mildew around the bath area and the shower head literally hanging off the wall.
The wifi costs $ 2.99 a night and the woman at reception said to one guest that they were having trouble with it.
Additionally, we were housed in Building 2 and the corridor smelled strongly of pot.
If all of these things don’t bother you then great, stay here if you’re just passing through.

This place is just a shower and sleep motel but good for a quick getaway from the valley air.
The summer & fall season price is $ 153 a night.
Here are the pros & cons I discovered.
Pros
— price was cheaper than the surrounding hotels
— there are some good views of the ocean from most of the rooms
— there’s a swimming pool
— you get 10 off the food at the restaurant
Cons
There’s no refrigerator in the room
There’s no coffee maker in the room
There’s no hair dryer in the room
The bathroom was not very clean
The toilet didn’t had to be flushed several times
The wifi is slow and kicked me off several times
I had to wait for the ice machine to make ice

My sister would give 5 stars & I’d give it 4, so this is more of a 4.5.
Clean, spacious, and friendly. Highly recommend staying here. All rooms have 2 beds including wheelchair accessible rooms with roll in showers.
We came in the off season, so it was ~$ 60 for three adults. It’d normally over $ 100. It is nicer than most Motel 6s and close to the elephant seals and Hearst Castle. There is a microwave in the lobby.
They gave us free wifi but it kept logging us off and was spotty. Although the bathroom floor was probably clean, the tiles made it look dirty. A corner of the bathroom mirror was chipped.
The accessibility was better than most Motel 6s. The room had the typical fake hard wood floors, but it had more space for my wheelchair. It had an accessible thermostat that I’ve never seen before. The bathroom was huge and the roll in shower was as nice as ones in high class hotels.

A-​OK for what you are getting.
The walls are very thin and the towels were super scratchy.
The sheets were SO scratchy that I put my clothes over the pillow, since the pillow case hurt my skin. I swear, I’m not THAT delicate of a flower!
Great location, nice staff. All the ice machines were broken. :(
