Pros:

For a Motel 6 the stay was ok.

Cons:

Cleanliness was not the greatest. Upon first appearance, the room looked nice and clean; however, once you took your shoes off and walked for a few minutes on the floor, our socks immediately showed that the floors were far from clean. The same went for the counters. There was some sort of sticky residue on some of the counters. I called for extra pillows and towels and was not provided any unless I exchanged my own downstairs. I guess you can complain for the price you pay, however I don't think we will stay again.

Minimalist hotel room, but exceptionally clean. Surrounding area was safe and quiet.
Pros:

The room and motel in general was very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable as well as the pillows. The surrounding area felt very safe and there was a 7-11 nearby so that was very convenient. Staff were very nice and kind.

Cons:

Nothing that I can think of. I liked everything.

You get what you pay for.
Pros:

Good for the price. Centrally located to our college kids.

Cons:

Room was clean-ish. Door knobs and light switches could have used a wiping down with visible make up on them before we arrived.

No frills but perfectly fine crash pad.
Pros:

We were visiting our son who is a student at SDSU. It’s close to campus. Bottom line: It’s clean, inexpensive, close to campus and had free parking. Nothing else is provided which was fine with us; we used it as a crash pad.

Cons:

Only hot water came out of even the cold faucet setting.

It was a bad experience due to cleanliness
Cons:

There were roaches and other flying bugs in my room, the tv remote never worked at any point. My Fiancé got bitten up 3/4 times pretty badly. We have photos of everything.

Pros:

Good location for us, very clean, and nice staff.

Cons:

Parking is extremely tight and people double park in fear of getting door dings. This isn't policed by management at all and leads to insufficient spaces for guests. If you want parking, don't arrive too late.
