Motel 6 San Diego – La Mesa

WILL NEVER CALL THEM AGAIN.
We booked a room online Friday through Sunday and when we arrived after a 5 hours drive from Vegas, they «said» our reservations didn’t start till Sunday, when clearly the print out says we have it right now.
Now we are struggling to find a hotel when everything is sold out for some tournament.
Thanks for RUINING what was supposed to be a fun weekend.
Doesn’t even deserve a star at all
ZERO STARS !

I don’t even have any words… Motel 6 has always been reliable choice for me to travel with my pets but this was the negative exception. This place is sandwiched between two small work truck type car dealerships and there is a constant flow of rather unsavory characters all around the area. If you have a pet, RUN. There is months old dog feces piled up everywhere, much of which looks like it was from a dog suffering from parvo! There are dog cleanup bag dispensers around but they were empty and deteriorating. The room was typical but the grounds made it unacceptable! The owner should be ashamed and clean this up as it is a public
health hazard.

This motel is decent for the cheap prices & the room is always clean when I go to stay in San Diego. Everything always works fine, though the water pressure for the shower is a little too low for my liking other then that it is a decent place if you are looking for a lower price place to stay the night.

NOT PET FRIENDLY! MANAGER IS A B — H! Housekeepers are not very nice! Full of pimps & whores! Lots of shady people hanging in the parking lot! Did not have working ice machines half of the time we stayed there! Parking sucked! Hard to find place to park! Had to go way in the back where it was pretty dark! Sheets on bed & mattress were dirty!

At a Hotel 6 you can usually depend on the price to give an indication of the level of amenities, cleanliness, quality of towels, etc. Not this time. This is the most I’ve ever paid at a M6 and the only good thing I have to say is nice TV.

Definitely should’ve utilized my Unilocal app before I checked in. I haven’t even spent one night here and I’m thoroughly disgusted. Requested upon check in to have a fridge and microwave in the room, and upon being told to wait for one to become available I did. We carry our bags over to the elevator and carry them upstairs only to find… no fridge or microwave.
I then have to go back downstairs to explain that what I needed wasn’t in the room. The front desk clerk then asks me am I sure?! Lololol. I’m certain that wouldn’t miss those two things. He then proceeds to tell me someone probably stole it and he has no other rooms available. Who steals a fridge and microwave?!

The toilet didn’t work right; we had to wait twice while someone came and attempted to fix it. The room we were in didn’t have carpeting, very dirty. The TV had problems too. Staff in front office didn’t try to make it right after I told them. Paid $ 128 because of Pride weekend.

All the rooms are non smoking rooms but all come with lots of ashtrays! Stinks like a homeless person here! We asked for a different room and it smelled like mold and smoke. Had to go back to first smelly room. Oh and the bathroom door won’t shut. Horrible place to stay!!!

This hotel like many of the motel 6 chain featured modernized rooms and was clean. The room was very quiet and the bed wasn’t too firm or unstable. Other customers staying there made me feel uneasy as they would «hang out» outside their rooms at night and watch me go to and from my car. This is not nessasarily the motels fault, but is the type of people you sometimes attract at the low prices they charge.

I made a reservation over the phone and was helped by a kind young man, Adrian. When I checked in the front desk lady was sociable. I got my room and went to check it out. I noticed that there was a hole on the bathroom door and when I looked at the bathtub I noticed a few hairs. I did notify the front desk clerk about the bathroom door because I didn’t want them to think I did it. When we came back from the concert we tried to watch TV but had some difficulties with getting it to stay on TV. I called front desk and spoke to Mark and he wasn’t very helpful. He mumbled something about having an issue with these new tv’s. He said sorry I don’t know how to fix it. bye. was shocked. never staying here again. lesson learned :-(

Well I should have read the reviews before booking. I was looking for a pet friendly motel and this one showed up. The carpet stunk so bad my dog went into the bathroom and would not come out. I finally picked him up and carried him to the bed. When we got home I washed everything that touched anything in the room including myself and the dog. So sorry for the room cleaners.

I’m giving this one star because the front desk clerk was nice. But apart from that it was pretty much crap. And we were only in San Diego for two days for soccer tournaments, and wasn’t really sure if we wanted to stay the night since we could go drive back from Orange County. And all the hotels that weekend were jacked up from comic con. But it proved to be too exhausting to drive back and forth. Fine, it’s a motel 6. But i have been to a motel 6 in long beach and when they said that they were giving me a modern room, they gave me a modern room. This one though… They said they were booking me a modern, non-​smoking room. when in fact it was old… Very old… And smelled of cigarettes. It was so bad that when my boyfriend and i got home and he opened our bag of clothes, it smelled like someone dumped all their ashes in it. We spent $ 160+ for a really crappy room.

Worst motel 6 I have ever stayed at. Room smells real bad and its giving me a headache. The carpet is stained. in addition I feel unsafe walking to the vending machines. Save yourself and not stay here.

Room smelled. Hair in the bed. Stairwell smelled like Pee. Seems very ‘Ghetto’. Night time staff were unpleasant, Daytime staff were very friendly. I guess u get what u pay for. :(

I spent a couple of nights here when in the area for my son’s wedding. Motel 6 is what it is. The room was clean with no odors. Everything worked as it was supposed to. The staff was pleasant and efficient.

Well, you get what you pay for, and Motel 6 is a cheaper chain. I stayed here for a few consecutive nights each week over the course of a couple months. It was mainly the price that kept me coming back. Roughly $ 55 – 60 per night.
I stayed in non-​smoking rooms. Amenities were basic. TV and AC. No microwave or fridge.
Negatives:
–Some of the rooms had a pretty strong funk that’ll really punch you in the nose when you enter.
–The second floor is so damn shaky that people’s footsteps as they walked by would occasionally cause my laptop to pause as «Vibration has been detected. (and) The hard drive has been temporarily moved to a safe position.» This was while it was sitting on the desk!
–The wifi connection is pretty slow and can vary depending upon which room you’re in. I mean, it’s good that they do have wifi (for a couple bucks a day btw) but even loading up a short youtube video can take half an hour.
–Sketchy area. I remember seeing the cops outside twice, and the clientele are… well…let’s just say some shady dillins are probably going on.
Positives:
–The staff were cool, sociable and courteous to me.
–Nobody tried to break into my room. Nothing was taken or messed up by housekeeping.
–Though the place was sketchy, I never had any problem with noise, and never got harassed by anyone.
So yeah, in summary, it’s bang for your buck. Sketchy but not overtly dangerous. Staff are cool.

First of all, they announce that they have wi fi and only 3 rooms had it, so they lie, then the room smelled very bad (feet), you hear the highway and the people like truck drivers did a lot of noise, so I really didn’t enjoyed it, also is really far from Legoland!
