Pros:

As you would expect from Motel 6 at the price. Appreciate that they allow pets and have a 'pet area' for walking.

Cons:

Check in process is bizarre...there is a virtual kiosk in the office and it was hard to tell if there was any actual staff on the premises.

Pros:

Cheap hotel, for quick stay.

Cons:

Strange people around. The bed was right against the wall, which feels awkward and unhygienic.

Pros:

NOTE...THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE NEXT CATEGORY.......Too expensive for such a hum-drum room. Parking was FAR too limited. Because I was driving an extremely small vehicle, I actually parked in what was probably not an actual space, just a wide spot of the "turning space". Otherwise, there was but ONE vacant space, A DOZEN++ (like a HUNDRED+ FEET) spaces from my room ! I am a 73yo w/a bad knee...not gonna lug a suitcase that far !

Dirty and overpriced
Pros:

Location was ok

Cons:

While this was the most affordable spot in Arcadia for the weekend, for what you get it was way over priced. Mostly lack of cleanliness. The room smelled of all the wet pets in the world and the floor was gritty, the shower drain had mold/mildew. We were there 3 nights and on cleaning service was provided. The bright lights on the parking lot made a comfortable sleep impossible
