We had to listen to two small barking dogs for our entire night. Those same neighbors were smoking and you could smell it in our room. I was to tired to deal with moving rooms so we just tolerated it. The was pretty dirty and would definitely use flops if you take a shower. I would not stay here again. On an upside the staff is very nice.

The elevator was not in a convenient location so I had to climb two sets of stairs to my room. There was no internet connection and the phone wouldn’t stay connected for me to talk to the front desk. This stay was not definitely with the $85, should have been $40. Since I could not connect to the internet, I could not finish my project for work so that was an inconvenience.

It’s not the property, but the location, as it is the vagrants and ne’er-do-wells milling about like bottom feeders. It might sound petty, and I’m glad someone could use it, but I had a couple of gallon water jugs taken out of my pickup bed. I wouldn’t leave anything of value in sight, or even leave it in the car. Sigh, it is a sign of the times.

I have never been disappointed at this Motel 6. They keep things working most importantly both ice makers in the vending & laundry room for guests. On a recent stay at another Motel 6 location 2 ice makers outdoors and one indoors didn't work at all nor did they have Out Of Order signs on them. If I was working there I would have brought in to the lobby the biggest cooler/ice chest and kept it filled with ice for the guests. Those without refrigerators I would have notified when checking in ice was available for their needs. The grounds all around the walkways had things stored that really were eyesores for guests to see. This Oceanside location has the best fast food/restaurants all around it plus quick access to I-5 and the 78.

This Motel 6 has professional grounds keepers that mow the grass. The trees look great trimmed and are filling in nicely with leaves at the tops of each branch reminding me of bonsai trees. The parking lots and all the cement thoroughfares are cleaned by using leaf blowers. There is pride in the landscaping and it’s that time of year that things really green up and grow.
