bring your own cleaning supplies for your own sanitation.
Pros:

the location of the hotel was perfect. coffee was available and the pool was open. The bed is smaller than expected for a queen and very uncomfortable. might stay here again just for the price.

Cons:

shower smelled like it hadn't been thoroughly disinfected. you can smell the funk and mildew coming up from the drain. The furniture was dirty and the bedframe the mattress was on was covered in dust. was informed the ac didn't work upon arrival however the weather was fair.

Also received this message from them ("Please be aware that some hotel services or amenities, potentially including lobby coffee service and/or pool availability, may be disrupted while we work to support our guests and team members during the COVID-19 outbreak. All guests are encouraged to bring their own personal sanitizers and health items, pending continued shortfalls of available supplies. Please contact the hotel directly should you have any questions relating to your stay.

Sincerely,
Motel 6-Pismo Beach, CA")

I highly suggest thoroughly clean and disinfect your rooms before you sleep.

It was a nightmare
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Staff was rude and horrible. There was no AC on the property. You couldn’t leave your window open for air because of the type of environment there was. would never book this place again.

Horrible hotel
Pros:

Nothing except price

Cons:

Everything!! The bed was so worn we were falling off the bed we asked to be moved they denied us said all the rooms were reserved which they lied cuz when we woke up the second day 3 rooms were empty. There was no air conditioner, there was mold around the front door and in the bathroom, the shower was cracked and they tried to patch so there were holes still showing there was mold behind toilet. I’ve contacted motel 6 directly and no response yet but I feel this is unacceptable. I tried to find a different hotel but was unable to find something that accepted pets but I will never stay here again!! The vent in the bathroom was falling out
