Customer service rep was very helpful. Great personality and professional.

Loved the area, the pool was super clean. A lot of parking next to my room. Room was clean, a bit warm but Ac worked fine.

The beds are pretty comfortable and the room is sizeable enough to move around when you have more than just 1 or 2 people.

Being treated poorly by the staff before the 21-day limit of staying and making a circumstance appear as though I'm in the wrong when that isn't the case at all. Going to such an extreme should set off alarm bells everywhere, but it doesn't because that's the norm these days. BTW, you may want to call in an exterminator, I noticed some adult size termites while I was there that could cause a safety inspection problem. Other than that, our stay there was nice, it's quiet and away from the freeway noise.

Always great when traveling with pets. Very clean, probably the nicest Motel Six I’ve stayed in/seen- and I’ve stayed in my fair share!

It is always nerve racking to have maids banging on your door- even if I was checking out the days they knock, or at times just walk in, it’s always before 11am. Then they lurk and watch and wait. Had I not felt hovered over each morning, the maids anticipating my leave- I would have had a perfect stay.

A heartfelt thank you to the staff at Motel 6-San Luis Obispo, CA - South for their exceptional friendliness and hospitality. Their warm demeanor truly enhanced our stay and left a lasting impression. The cleanliness of the accommodations surpassed our expectations, reflecting the care and attention to detail maintained by the motel's team. It's rare to find such pristine surroundings, and we appreciated the effort put into ensuring a comfortable environment for guests. The location of the motel was incredibly convenient, making it easy to access nearby amenities such as Costco and its gas station. Additionally, the proximity to a charming park provided opportunities for outdoor activities like biking and hiking, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our visit.

The only minor setback during our stay was the reduced water flow in the sink. While this didn't significantly detract from our overall experience, it was a slight inconvenience that we hope can be addressed in the future.

Great staff! The location and parking worked out great for us too and the room was clean. Also we appreciated the great coffee in the morning and the Halloween candy!

The rooms are a little noisy. We could hear the people in the rooms on both sides of us and all the maid carts going by the room. The towels were thin and rough and there was no tissues, only toilet paper. Also we had a microwave in the room but the cord didnt reach the outlet so we had to move it every time we used it.

It was very convenient for a short stay. The coffee in the morning was excellent.

Communication prior to arrival was not great. I made a request via booking.com and did not receive a reply. I tried again prior to our arrival and still did not receive an adequate response. The employees on-site, however, were very friendly and gave great tips for places to eat.

It was comfortable. Accommodating to our needs to be downstairs. Friendly staff. Overall pretty clean. No problems with location. Pool was chill. There was a small group playing music and relaxing by pool, didn’t bother us. Coffee in the morning was good. 24 hour vending machines and washers. I would definitely stay there again.

The room was exceptionally clean, and the bed was comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I travel with 2 small dogs and there was a nice area to walk them.

I don't have high expectations for Motel 6. I stay there because they allow pets without an extra charge. There is nothing I didn't like about this place. Good value for the money.
