I appreciated the friendly and helpful staff.
Pros:

The location of this motel was very convenient. It had very easy access to the 101 Freeway and to shopping and dinning areas and a gas station just across the street. There was also a Vons just down the street which was turned to be convenient to my family.

Cons:

I don't have anything negative to say. It is not a luxury stay and it certainly fits the expectations for a budget motel but we had what we needed: a functional mini-fridge to keep our drinks cold, a microwave, etc. I know I have stayed at pricier places that have not had those.

Once again, I felt relaxed and comfortable during my stay at Motel 6 - South in Santa Maria, CA!
Pros:

There was no breakfast included, but the location was great. It's right of the freeway in the south part of town, so it made for an easy off/on experience. The motel is also located conveniently to restaurants, stores, even a shopping mall.

Cons:

I really can't think of anything I didn't like when I visited this motel. I've stayed at the motel enough times now that the manager recognizes me and treats me in a very friendly and courteous manner. I intend to keep staying at this motel when I make the drive to and from Sunnyvale to L.A.

It was the cheapest in the area.
Pros:

It was near the event I needed to go to.

Cons:

There were cockroaches in the bathroom. The bathroom window led right to the walkway and didn’t have any window coverings; so if the window was opened, people passing by could look in. The flooring seemed a bit worn out and hard to get clean. The towels were small and thin.

Definitiv keine Empfehlung
Pros:

Leider nichts positives zu berichten

Cons:

Die Dusche war kalt.Das Zimmer war nicht ordentlich gereinigt. Am Stuhl klebte noch Kaugummi und es lagen alte Ketchuppackungen im Nachtisch, zudem funktionierte auch der Security Latch nicht. Am nächsten Morgen, wollten wir beim auschecken an der Rezeption einen Rabatt für den miserablen Zustand des Zimmers bekommen, doch die Rezeptionistin wies uns unfreundlichst ab mit der Begründung, dass wir trotzdem in Zimmer geschlafen hätten. Wir würden definitiv nicht empfehlen hier zu übernachten.

I really enjoy coming to this hotel when I spend the night in Santa Maria because of the manager.
Pros:

The hotel didn't have a breakfast, but the location was great. It was about a block from the freeway I used to come to Santa Maria.

Cons:

I can't think of anything at this time.
