Christopher, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

It would be nice if the rooms had a small refrigerator and also a box of Kleenex. There was no shampoo or conditioner and only one wash cloth. The towels were such poor quality.

2/10 Poor

This hotel was one of the dirtiest that I have ever stayed at and had the most things broken or not working. In the room-windows broken, tv stand broken, tub-finish peeling off, some lights/plugs did not work, overall, room was dirty, old and in dis-repair. The carpet in the

Customer service at the hotel was amazing. However there was no air conditioning for 3 days! Beds are very uncomfortable! Not near the train station. Price was good though.

Location Isn't Everythin,

For my 2 night stay I was charged $50 for parking. This was shocking. Also my room was VERY, very tiny and yet I was charged more than a $100 a night. The only thing this Motel 6 has in favor is a good central San Diego location. But, I will NEVER stay at this Motel 6 again.

Lauren, 2-night trip

6/10 Good
