Motel 6

Great place to stay in. Would recommend. Close to the Village and other great places.

This Motel 6 is privately owned. It is very well cleaned and maintained. It’s pet friendly. And, the owner’s, a married couple, are very friendly and accomodating. They even remember your name.
They have gone out of their way to accomodate my stay at their establishment on several occasions. So if you’re in town and need a place to stay check in. It’s affordable and comfortable.

EXTREMELY RUDE MANAGER
This was by far, the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I’ve ever experienced. Here was the conversation with the manager:
Me: Hi, I’d like to stay another night.
Manager’s Son: Okay. *charges credit card*
Manager: *Calls our room* You guys have to leave.
Me: Okay, your son just processed another transaction. Can we get a refund?
Manager: Okay. *Did not swipe the credit card * I return suspecting he didn’t process the refund
Me: Can I have a receipt? *Manager then asked for the credit card* Why do you need the credit card for?
Manager: I need to check the numbers. *glances at the front and back of the card and hands it back* Why do you need a receipt?
Me: I don’t trust you
Manager: Why you no trust me? I’m a nice person unlike you people.
Me: You just said you wanted to keep our money
Manager: I have to check the room first. i should charge you for two other rooms * He was accusing us of making his other customers leave.
Me: That’s not fair *Manager calls housekeeper on walkie talkie
Manager: Who’s gonna pay for it? *Housekeeper calls
Maricella: It’s good *Manager prints receipt and asks for a signature
Me: You didn’t ask for a signature or credit card before.
Manager: I don’t need it.
The owner was mean, rude, offensive, prejudice, untrustworthy/​sketchy, unruly, and assuming. He believed it to be us when our neighbors were being loud even though we weren’t there during the alleged time of complaints. Our friend who drove us back to the motel then asked to use the restroom. The manager approached us and repeatedly said, She can’t stay! She can’t stay! After we explained she wanted to just use the restroom, he followed us to our room and waited outside for her to leave. This was also a very uncomfortable experience for us. I won’t be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

This motel sucks! Point blank. They have rooms right next to the trash where the trash guy comes everyday at 5am and wakes you up. The key cards deactivate everyday. EVERYDAY! EVERYDAY! Room has no dresser and a cheap closet. God what a waste of money. Terrible service! Never again! And no discount for being woken up everyday by the stupid trash collector.

Was really clean. Loved the hard wood floors because I have (2) service dogs. Good customer service, and free internet is always a plus. Place isn’t nearly as sketch as it looks. Would def stay here again and great for the price

My husband, small dog and I stayed here for a night in late May on the way to San Diego.
Our room was nicely updated, large and very clean. This was certainly one of the better budget motels that I have stayed in during my time in California.
Overall, we had a very positive experience at this establishment and I would recommend this motel.
The only negative was that the parking was somewhat limited. We arrived around 9:30 PM and got one of the last parking spaces.

Stayed the night last night at this Motel 6 on DE Soto about 200 feet south of Sherman Way. I was hesitate to stay there after reading reviews on Unilocal and Google Maps. But was pleasantly surprised that the reviews did not reflect the current condition of the place. They are in the middle of remodeling so maybe the previous reviews are currently outdated. Because my room was great and the bed was more comfortable then home.

Very clean, spacious rooms. Quiet complex. I’m very picky and from the outside of it I was uneasy but they’re doing renovations so the outside will match the inside. The mgr was nice and even checked my room after I left and thought I had left a medicine bag. Great mgt.

Clean room, got a newly renovated one. Only mishap was that the housekeeping maid came in without permission while my gf and i were sleeping. Other than that it was a nice place to stay.

Rooms are remodeled and well styled … I felt like I got the most space and comfort for the money, while staying for work in SFV with my wife and our dog …
A microwave and a big refrigerator in every room make it easier to stay on budget and not having to go out dining every night …
Also, you never find yourself hustled by housekeeping when not necessary and the maid service is friendly and professional …
A 5 star feedback here from a satisfied traveler

Very rude guy in the office, lied about the price on the phone. Very bad neighbor hood!
sirens all night, drug addicts wondering around and WORST OF ALL… HUGE RATS RUNNING AROUND THE PARKING LOT AT NIGHT! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!

Mind you, this is a budget motel. After tax, about $ 75. or so. My room was clean, and everything worked fine. No bugs, etc. here. The outside of the building, well, it’s old. Parking was kind of cramped but OK. This is LA, folks. The desk people, Nick and his wife, are great. They go the extra mile, and then some. Near all kinds of stores, etc. Even a park to take a walk. The neighbors were real loud til about 3AM, but whose fault is that? I told Nick about it, on my way out. He apologized, and said he would talk to the people.

This motel was kind of scary although the room was fairly clean inside. I would have to say I would never stay there again. We reserved a room without reading the reviews because we needed a motel that would accept our small dog. The neighborhood was rough-​looking and kind of dirty, although it did have some really cool ethnic restaurants and grocery stores. The door to the room was warped and had a gap where you could see into the room a bit. I imagine it had been kicked in at some point. It did seem to lock okay.
The other customers looked very sketchy but no-​one bothered us personally. At 3 AM some women just outside our 2^nd floor door had a loud flirtatious discussion with some guys in the parking lot which was interesting but made it hard to sleep. The shower had lost some grout from btwn the tiles and there was some mildew. The TV and AC were fine and we didn’t come across any bugs. Also on the bright side, no-​one broke into the car. I checked on it 3 times during the night just due to the threatening feeling of the area and the dodgy look of the other customers. The stairwells were very dirty and depressing.

**NOT RECOMMENDED.** Found roaches. 8 to be exact. Smells like expired sausage outside. On tour with my band, don’t usually care where we sleep. We wanted to treat ourselves with a bed and hot shower. Our van and hooker showers (sink head rinse) is a better option.

–10: WARNING! BED BUGS! They did refund me for the night stay thats all. i had to throw my luggage out

I have to admit that it is better than I was expecting, everything seems to work fine, including AC and TV, the room was clean and ready when we got there. The only thing is that there is this smell, which is not necessarily bad, but like old carpet, past smoker, dusty 68 year-​old bedroom…
This is the cheapest option out there, they under compromise and over deliver (relative to your expectations), I did not want to pay more for only a few hours… I guess I will keep choosing it until I can afford a less stinky one :)
The wi-​fi does not work, but I knew that.

This place seems to have recently been opened because everything looks new. There is a pool although I would not use it. Parking seems to be very limited which sucks. There is a flat screen t.v. in the room, microwave, refrigerator, air conditioner, and much more. Not much else to say about this place… oh yeah there is free wifi!
