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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Apr 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean and convinient ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vianey Jul 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice staff and small remodel hotel.

Parking on the other hand was very limited and ppl were double parked. I know it's out of their control, but ppl were very inconsiderate being noisy at night, along with the issues of the homeless being on grounds. ##### Priscilla Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joanie Apr 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This Motel 6 has nice grounds, was clean, comfortable and relatively quiet.

Cannot beat the price here. Close to everything. Lots of nearby restaurants. Room could use a small fridge. Stayed three nights. ##### Lloyd Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Judi Apr 9, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities They charged a refundable deposit, which Expedia did not mention at time of booking. Exterior was old, area was questionable such that it appeared there were unhoused ppl staying there. 2 SC Police officers arrived at some point and were speaking to other motel guests. Room was TINY. Bed was comfortable, but sheets and towels looked dirty/dingy. Would not stay here again. ##### Judi Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Westin San Diego Bayview](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Westin-San-Diego-Downtown.h27516.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollywood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hollywood-Hotel-The-Hotel-Of-Hollywood.h12553.Hotel-Information) > > [Argonaut Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Argonaut-Hotel-A-Noble-House-Hotel.h915510.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beverly Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Beverly-Hills-Hotel-Dorchester-Collection.h12057.Hotel-Information) > > [Fleur Noire Hotel - 21 and Over](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Fleur-Noire.h72510037.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commerce Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Los-Angeles-Commerce-Casino.h533227.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameo Beverly Hills, LXR Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Cameo-Beverly-Hills.h14537.Hotel-Information) > > [The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa, Part of Destination Hotel by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Oceanside-Hotels-The-Seabird-Resort.h63871770.Hotel-Information) > > [Montrose at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Montrose-West-Hollywood.h17594.Hotel-Information) > > [Element Anaheim Resort Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Element-Anaheim-Resort-Convention-Center.h37620004.Hotel-Information) > > [Stay Classy Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Stay-Classy.h54911318.Hotel-Information) > > [WorldMark Indio](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-WorldMark-Indio.h1784055.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency San Francisco Downtown SOMA ](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-The-Park-Central-San-Francisco-Hyatt-Affiliated-Hotel.h491.Hotel-Information) > > [Beacon Grand, A Union Square Hotel ](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Sir-Francis-Drake-Hotel.h15254.Hotel-Information) > > [STILE Downtown Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-STILE-Downtown-Los-Angeles-By-Kasa.h6948120.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ziggy on Sunset](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hotel-Ziggy-Los-Angeles.h11087.Hotel-Information) > > [The Colony Palms Hotel and Bungalows - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Colony-Palms-Hotel-And-Bungalows.h1652438.Hotel-Information) > > [Hitching Post Studios Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Hitching-Post-Studios-Inn.h1503829.Hotel-Information) > > [Pixar Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Paradise-Pier-Hotel.h9503.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Caza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Caza.h38249309.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Delfina-Santa-Monica.h12942.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Everly Hotel Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-Everly-Hotel-Hollywood.h17524828.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Paseo, Autograph Collection by Marriott](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Hotel-Paseo.h19698333.Hotel-Information) > > [Desert Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Desert-Vacation-Villas.h22095.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barnes San Francisco, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Villa-Florence-San-Francisco-On-Union-Square.h5425.Hotel-Information) > > [The Anthem Los Angeles Stadium District, Tapestry by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Anthem-Los-Angeles-Stadium-District.h73661156.Hotel-Information) > > [FOUND Hotels, Santa Monica, Series by Marriott](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-FOUND-Los-Angeles-Santa-Monica.h41510539.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)
