2.Super dirty I don't think they clean very well after each guest
3. Poor bedding
4. Ask for a broom to sweep the room our selfs 2 times but never received
5. Not even shampoo or conditioner complimentary

Pros:

That there was a bus stop for San Diego comic con right outside the hotel.

That's literally it.

Cons:

So many things 530amnperson up stairs playing there music load. My wife and some seeing hookers with construction guys and asking how they were gonna pay.
My wife being proposed like she was a hooker.
There was water in the hall 3 days like it had flooded. Someone across the hall was screaming for 2 days. Thai isn't a place to stay with children at this is a weekly and monthly living facility as well.
Ohh there's a lot more but I'll leave it for now I'll be calling tomorrow

Not Recommend!
Pros:

Location was someone convenient to our main destination.

Cons:

The hotel had a very bad strong smell coming from the air conditioner vent. There were no towels whatsoever stocked in the room which was inconvenient to have to go to the office to get them. The TV remote had no batteries and the front desk had no batteries either. We had to wait for maintenance to bring a spare remote control. The main building, elevator , hallways, and overall appearance of the rooms were run down, stained and very old looking. The microwave could not be opened unless it was unplugged from the power. Very disappointed for the motel 6 chain especially for this good location in San diego. It felt very unsafe late at night with vagrant people in the parking lot screaming shouting and smoking. I would definitely not choose this location again.

Pros:

The room was ok, clean compared to the corridors.

Cons:

getting to the room was terrible. the corridors were hot, the carpet was very dirty which had a stench to it, 4th floor. one of the other floors had sheet vinyl which wasn't so bad.
