    Very dirty shower. Towels smell. Bathroom had strong urine smell. Unsafe- large window did not lock.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    No answer to the call bell. WiFi is not working. Barely minimal bedding/towel. Towels/sheets has blood/stains. No shampoo/conditioner. Had soap bar. No hot water just warm water.

    I usually do not write a bad review. We had two rooms and both rooms had dirty linen. The bathrooms drain smelled like sewer. When I asked if there were extra blankets I was told there was only three extra blankets for the entire complex and had been given out. Both rooms were non smoking and one smelled horrible of cigarettes. The Motel Manager had a spray of his own he offered to help but it did not make a difference. I have been to Motel 6’s before and have never had an issue with the linen being dirty or stained .

    Dirty unfriendly parking is aweful Horrible place! Do NOT Stay here! Homeless, drugs, prostitutes live and frequent this dump. Broken windshield from apparently a crazy screaming hooker (why we couldn’t sleep) Filthy dirty hole in the wall. I literally threw away my blanket pillow and clothing I brought into the room and I refused to bring in my bags or shower there. A nasty loud tweaker-fest. Motel 6 should give everyone that doesn’t live there a refund and advertise it as a homeless shelter or halfway house! I reserved online and couldn’t afford to go elsewhere, so as you can see from my budget I’m no princess with princess expectations. Just expectations of safety and cleanliness

    Just decent. Good for overnight stay only.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Shower water took a long time to get warm enough to shower. The rooms walls were chipped and need craftsmanship on tile is very poor. Over priced for what you get and I would not stay there again.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    First of all I had to check in a drive through window at 8:45 at night, as a single mother with two young children felt uncomfortable and not safe. Hard to park in the space was very crowded and tight. I had asked for extra towels and he said they were all out that the maids could bring me some tomorrow which I wanted to take a hot shower and I needed them. He told me there was three in the room when I checked there was only one. It had no closet and no coffee as he had mentioned in the room very disappointed would never stay again. The sheets didn’t match. They look dingy and dirty.

    In the beginning of santa cruz, about a 5 minute drive to the boardwalk. Would book again location was convenient for the price.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    TV didn’t work

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Overall facilities were tired. Pricing for the accommodation was well above based on what was provided however it was a Saturday night I understand

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    PARKING VERY CRAMPTED, SENT TO UNCLEANED ROOM UPON ARRIVAL

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was messy, like they didn't clean it. Was a sold out weekend, so I couldn't do much about it, but charging ~$750 for two days is absurd for a Motel 6. Unfortunately pretty much every other hotel was sold out or WAYYY out of my price range.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room wasn't clean, looked run down, front desk person was rude and not really available, would not stay here again area is ghetto. Nothing like your usual Motel 6.

    Wonderful manager
