i actually have stayed at this motel 6 a few times and have liked it. however, this time i had left my purse in the room. unfortunately i didn’t notice till i got home. i detected it w an apple air tag. i drove 2 hours in the middle of the night to retrieve it because i had my blood pressure medication in it along with a lot of cash and some irreplaceable items. stupid of me not to realize it sooner but it’s what happened.i was told to come back in the morning so i stayed in another hotel in the area so that i could.when i came back i was told there was no bag turned in and that the general manager would not be in till noon. i had to go back home and get to work and was told that the general manager would call me. i’ve called several times and i haven’t heard anything. my purse was stolen by staff plain and simple.

Front desk lady was nice, but the property needs updating. Door and windows need new seals (you can see outside), shower needs a need adjustable option, can barely rinse your pits. Washers are dirty. Definitely not kid friendly with the stairs and paper thin walls. And don't get me started on the drug addicts smoking near the doors when you are told loudly at check in that smoking is to be done over by the Cal de sac.You can’t use, smoke, eat or vape adult-use cannabis in public places. It’s illegal to smoke cannabis in locations where smoking is illegal—that means beaches, parks, sidewalks, bars, restaurants, hotels and buildings open to the public are all no-no’s. Similarly, you can’t use cannabis within 1,000 feet of a school, day care center or youth center while children are present.

Very clean newly refurbished room. Comfy bed and pillows. No grungy carpet on floors. Location is tricky—long driveway around behind Dennys. Less than a mile from Marina State Beach. Only shortcoming was all lighting in room was very bright overhead spotlights. Need a lamp on desk or put a dimmer on the overhead light switch.Nearby activities: Dennys in front of motel. Beach less than a mile away. Marina has Stater Bros nearby, good food at Lees Chinese restaurant across street from Staters.

No hot water many times during 2 week stay. Front desk had varying excuses such as the workmen using the motel all take showers at the same time, or it needs to run for 30 minutes to warm up, or we just replaced the boiler last week so there shouldn't be a problem, or we'll investigate. No fridge or microwave, although advertised as having they wanted an extra $40 per night for them. Rescue and police were there multiple times. One time appeared to be a drug overdose. At least 2 different people living out of their vehicles in the parking lot. Loud and boisterous people roaming the grounds at odd hours of the night. The shower walls were filthy as was the floor--room 123 has accessible shower. Small bugs flying around, mostly in bathroom. The general manager, Regina Lal promised to give a 10% refund for the lack of hot water but never did. I called to inquire and she yelled at me that my service dog should not have been on my bed and I left dirty towels and supposedly the comforter was ruined. I stored the comforter on the chair as it did not appear clean when I first checked in. As I started to reply she hung up on me and then when I called back she hung up as soon as she picked the phone up and when I tried again she put it to a recording where I left a message informing her I'd be filing complaints with the CA attorney general's office of consumer affairs, the BBB and the Monterey County Board of Health. I will also file a dispute with my credit card company for the refund she promised, and I hope if Regina Lal continues to provide this type of accommodations to others than they will also file disputes. She may then correct the shortcomings, however that appears unlikely and very doubtful due to her arrogance.

I had put up my disabled 63 year old brother for a few days there he was kicked out after having a fall that broke the toilet. Only being there for 2 nights. When we checked him we made sure they understood his balance was poor and was using a walker and cane to get around. He lost his balance and fall. They will be hearing from attorneys soon on this matter!

Enormous lodging! We adore Motel 6s because they offer the convenience of accommodating our furry companions. Arriving quite late, we were warmly welcomed by th receptionist. Although they were nearly at full capacity, they made a genuine effort to meet our request for a secluded room. In the center of the property, there lies a charming garden that unfortunately does not permit dogs, but fear not, as there is an ample pet-friendly area available. The room, of moderate size, was clean and wellfurnished.

when traveling I try to get the best room for the best deal. I don't have a lot of expectations. Go0d price, clean room, comfy bed.I don't put a lot on amenities as it can vary especially on finding deals. This Motel 6 checked all those boxes, I was very pleased.Clean, comfy bed, quiet, excellent location. All good for me.

Ridiculous and intrusive policy that all adults have to show their ID to stay at the hotel, not just the person booking the room. My husband is in IT Security and knows how often customer data gets hacked, so we don’t like sharing our personal information unless absolutely necessary. We have also personally experienced identity theft, so this policy alone will keep us from staying at another Motel 6. The lady at the front desk just told us to show our IDs or we could get a refund and leave. Not even apologetic or friendly about it.THEN, we get to our $200 room and our feet stuck to the floor. Our family of four all showered and the next morning I noticed the bottom of my husband’s feet were filthy. We looked at our feet and they were all black/brown with crud! It was disgusting!! We had to wash our feet before putting on our socks & shoes. Also, only three towels (for a 4 person room) and the hair dryer didn’t work. Never again staying at a Motel 6!Rooms: FilthyNearby activities: Beach

The rooms appear to have been recently updated, which made probably the nicest of the Motel 6 rooms we've stayed in. We felt safe, even later at night returning from our events. The lady at the front desk was very pleasant during check-in (forgot her name.) An extra chair (one w/o sides/arms) would have been helpful. The room amenities are the same as at other Motel 6 locations - so no fridge or microwave (though some of the rooms in the location are equipped with them.) The Wifi reception was also better than expected. Close to Monterey w/o the traffic/parking hassles.

Staff was great from the get go, property is conveniently located and really close to Montereyand Carmel.Only detail is that no shampoo is provided, it was my first time at a motel 6 property and don't know if that is normal but it sure was something worthmentioning.Rooms: Small, but seem to be recently update.Nearby activities: Great location.

Its all about location. This place is perfect for the price. At most its a 10 minute walk to the beach. Good spot if your visiting downtown if you don't mind a little bit of a drive.At the end of the day its a Motel 6. So you are getting what you pay for... a room to sleep in. If you don't plan on hanging out in the room its a great spot for your base of operations. Would definitely consider staying here again if in the area.

Not much to complain about! I only wish the rooms here had hair dryers and thicker blankets than the ones that were there. Everything was clean and newly renovated so that nice. Staff were friendly and quick with the check in/check out process. Marina State Beach is just up the street so it’s the perfect spot.

Location was only good thing. I coulda got a cheaper and better hotel off any online site.sucua cheap hotel they dont offer shampoo or even coffee in the rooms. Plus the maid only comes on certain days of the week. (Might explain the dirty room) old soap in corner of shower, tub was filthy. Curtain didnt even cover the window, and to top it off we were forced to pay an extra $20 a night for a microwave and fridge that we didnt want or need.Outside was dirty and even scary to be. The railing felt like it was going to give, completely rotten in spots.Next time I will stay elsewhere!

Rooms have been updated since my last stay but that was years ago beds are much more comfortable now. It would have been nice if they had coffee pots in the room but they do offer coffee in the lobby but for a limited time people of the deaths were very very helpful it was quiet a lot better than I thought it was going to be I was really happy with my stay

I found a decent price for car week and the room is actually pretty nice. New flooring, some new'ish stylings as well.Location is 6 miles from the aquarium, which is sort of centrally located in Monterey. Easy to drive. Rush hour traffic jams though. Avoid driving south in the morning commute times.

This Motel 6 has character & quality that is more than you would expect from a lower rated motels. It has great grounds with character, safe surroundings, updated simple and clean rooms. You will get a great nights sleep. Sheets & towels were on the dated and skimpy side, but smelled clean at least. The front desk was efficient and pleasant for both check in and out.

I have stayed at probably every motel 6 from the Bay area down to Monterey at this rate and this one is by far my absolute favorite. The staff are amazing and truly genuine in their interactions with you. I forgot to get the name of the man who checked us in (he's got slighty longer hair and is maybe hispanic) but he was so bubbly and friendly and immediately made us feel welcome. We had gone 7 months prior (the rooms were already soo much better than the other motel 6s) and went back a weekend prior to this review and they had remodeled. The rooms are the cleanest and most welcoming ive ever seen and the TV was wall mounted so u don't have to crick your neck to watch it at your feet. The grounds there were in tip top shape. Can't wait to go back again and I wish all Motel 6 followed this example.

first time staying at this motel 6 location. the bed was my all time favorite. The mattresses have a plush, pillowy top that provides support while remaining oh-so-comfy. hadnt had a actual good night sleep in a comfortable mattress like the one i got in YEARS! yeah you heard right YEARS. i woke up feeling amazing. happy. relaxed . will definitely come back

This hotel was sufficient for what it was. The ocean was steps away. It is close to Walmart, 7-eleven and a short drive to restaurants and more. This hotel has a little place to get ice and candy if needed, front office is nice as well. I was surprised it was so peaceful at night, however, first thing in the morning, you can hear all conversations around you, doors slamming, housekeeping carts and anything else. Comfy bed. Felt safe.

Nice quiet room in an older hotel. The staff is very good and very friendly and accommodating. Good location close to the beach (walking distance if you are able). Nothing fancy which is the normal scope of the Motel 6 chain.Cleaning needs more attention. Example: The shelf that holds the towels was full of grime and dust.The hot water was set high and the water for a shower dangerously hot.

This motel is very well kept. You can tell they’ve put a lot of work into the landscaping, planters, etc. They also have mats outside all of the doors to wipe feet before going into the room. Theres designated areas for pets to go potty, and nice little pathways in those areas.The service was great! We even got a pre-check in phone call the day before to make sure we had all the information we needed to know for check-in.The room was very clean and well kept. The only complaint we had is that the mattresses are not super comfortable. Other than that, you can tell the owners really try and make this Motel 6 as nice as possible for their guests.

For the price of a room a night, I was hoping there would be at least a mini fridge and microwave.Nearby activities: A Denny's is right up front, Walmart just a block away, and the beach down the street.
