Cheap hotel is a cheap hotel.
Pros:

Location right next to Legoland. The walls were solid. It blocked highway noises pretty well.

Cons:

Mold all over the bathroom walls, loose door knobs with an I'll fitting door, no aerator in the sink, entire room smelled like mildew from ac unit, key didn't work at first had to walk back to the lobby, cigarette burns in the blankets in a non smoking room, housekeeping didn't come between days. We understand it was a cheap hotel but the mold was a big problem.

Cons:

Initially I was given a smoking room. That is not even legal in California. I had to pay more to get a non-smoking room which was inappropriate and wrong.

Dissatisfied. Would not stay at a Motel 6 again.
Pros:

That it was close to Legoland The Hospitality Workers were all nice.

Cons:

Our request not honored. Our rooms were building apart. The Desk Clerk was so rude. He didnt even try to accommodate. The swimming pool was ice cold. The Room to Room phone calls did not work.
