Very nice Motel 6. Very clean, I like motel 6 because dogs stay free. The bed was super comfortable. Great stay
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

There was nobody in the office. It was self serve with a weird computer check in system. I arrived at 3:00 and left at 9 a.m. I was in and out multiple times and never saw anyone working there. This made me uncomfortable enough that I most likely won’t stay there again.
Tammy, 1-night trip

Very clean, easy check in and check out.

10/10 Exceptional

Great price, clean, easy to find. Love that there was a doggy poop area but people did not clean up after their dogs. Room was clean and smelled nice.

6/10 Good

Overpriced, minimal amenities, wifi sketchy
Deirdre, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was very easy to get to and from the freeway. Close to a selection of places to eat or get groceries. Our second story, non-smoking room, looked newly remodeled. The AC worked perfectly. Everything was clean and fresh. The beds were very comfortable and there was hot water for showers. I would happily stay there again.
At first I did not realize that the aavgo machine was a second (remote) clerk, until the person on screen said, "I can help you here!" I went back later to take this photo. Lol!
Shower handle was a little hard to pull out to turn the water on, but the shower design was clever. It made the bathroom and shower feel roomier.

8/10 Very good

Very very positive.

Pleasantly surprised. Clean, fresh, new. Only one complaint- the pillows were hard and flat. Bring your own. Owner/manager very nice, building well maintained. Good 4 day visit. Would definitely recommend.
Louise, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Property was as clean as it can be . Service and customer representative were so helpful and super nice. Prices are high for a Motel because they are close to Cal poly Humboldt .
Cecilia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It does the job! I recall being perfectly comfortable. A good basic stay.
Emily, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quiet property. Room itself was clean however the shower had hair in it. Felt odd checking in virtually. Overall stay was pleasant.
Michelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was very nice and attentive, even calling to see if everything was satisfactory.
Yvette, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is featuring the “live agent” kiosk. Which is mildly unnerving. The gal on the screen was great and there was a guy in the back room Of the office (in case of emergency?) but he didn’t DO anything. Seems like a weird situation to find a “live agent” in. The hotel was fine. Limited parking but clean enough and the shower worked. I even liked this shower.
Amiee, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was my first experience with a check in kiosk, it was a live person on the screen which wad cool and easily navigated. Found it strange that there was a person at the front desk behind it that didnt interact with you during the process. The property was very clean, room was fresh and confortable. I use motel 6 a lot when on the road, this was a nicer one.

Room needed a lot of repairs. For the price of the room, I expected better. However, the location was excellent as it was across a mini mall and several dining facilities.

Did not like the check-in (not a person but a video screen). Also the students who were staying there were loud until the early hours (2am) Made it impossible to sleep. There should have been someone out there to tell them to shut up.

Good place to stay.
