This one had bloody finger prints on the inside of the door and the water smelled so weird I made it a point to get bottled water. The room next to us blast at the TV all night and the guy working the desk couldn’t be bothered to say a single word to me when I checked in. That brief glimpse was the only staff I saw in my two nights stay, and no, no one cleaned up our room after the first night. I hesitated to write a review because I don’t wanna hurt Small Business owners and I know that Motel 6 locations are franchises, but this was something that other travelers should know about. I was bummed I wasted my Expedia points on it. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Patrik Jun 19, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The location was great. The price was kinda high considering the rooms and amenities. The pictures definitely over sold the room. It seems as if they’re renovating slowly and in a shoty fashion. We found better rooms for cheaper after our first night. ##### Patrik Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Johana Jun 15, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I didn’t stay in this place, looks scary and rooms to small and the area not good. ##### Johana Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Loews Hollywood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Loews-Hollywood-Hotel.h790158.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h42520139.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-1-Hotel-West-Hollywood.h35872776.Hotel-Information) > > [Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel & Water Playground](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-By-Wyndham-Anaheim-Hotel-Water-Playground.h19662.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Los Angeles International](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Los-Angeles-International-Airport.h28110.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-San-Diego-Marina.h24394.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Sheraton-Gateway-Los-Angeles-Hotel.h12287.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-The-Westin-Anaheim-Resort.h47019139.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Stovalls-Inn.h13592.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-InterContinental-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h11567151.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House at Anaheim Resort/Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Hyatt-House-At-Anaheim-ResortConvention-Center.h14786168.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield by Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h13771.Hotel-Information) > > [Desert Palms Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Desert-Palms-Hotel-Suites.h1571.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > > [Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Grand-Californian-Hotel-And-Spa.h692655.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Anaheim Theme Park Entrance](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Theme-Park-Entrance.h11476917.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Roosevelt](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Hollywood-Roosevelt.h34142.Hotel-Information) > > [Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Manchester-Grand-Hyatt-San-Diego.h12073.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambria Hotel & Suites Anaheim Resort Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Cambria-Hotel-Anaheim-Resort-Area.h34780325.Hotel-Information) > > [Anaheim Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Anaheim-Marriott-Hotel.h12035.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A.
