Our room was big and clean. Had a smoky scent but i opened the window and it went away. Housekeepers were very helpful when asking for fresh towels.

Mediocre
It’s just loud. It’s the convenience of location that is appealing. Nothing else. Just free coffee in the morning.

Nice rooms, but dangerous location
The room was great and much cleaner than the crappy Marriott I stayed in the previous two nights that I paid much more money for. Even better, the room was 68 degrees when I checked in while my previous Marriott room never got below 85 degrees so I couldn't sleep. The room was great.
Not so great were the loose dogs and homeless people in the parking lot. I call the nonemergency police #, and they said they had been ordered to ignore problems at this hotel. That's terrible because it has such a great location and their newly remodeled rooms are so nice.

Felt safe enough there the bed was worn down a lot but had clean sheets it was decently clean for a motel 6 beside the smell of smoke coming for the room next to ours.

Not able to communicate with anyone at hotel.com
I got to the hotel. It was too dirty and too smelly to stay in. They gave me the money back at the hotel but you took money too. How does that happen? It was the Motel 6 and I would like to have my money back, you need to contact me so that I can get it back I would never Recommend your website in a lifetime. If you do not make good on what you did and not giving my money back that night is when I needed it.

The worst stay in San Diego
Filthy rooms, toilet doesn't flush at all. Changed rooms 2xs and both was the same. Both to8oet clogged. Floor was dirty. Both non smoking rooms smelled like an ash tray.

The bed was very comfy and squishy. Bedding is thin and doesn’t offer much warmth.
Smelly and musty. Floors dirty with dirt and loose debris.
Far walk to ice machine in another building.
Bath tub only can be used as a shower and not a tub.
