The night the La Mesa Cops would not shut up
Pros:

It was nice & quiet

Cons:

One night in the middle of the night it sounded like the COPS WERE POUNDING ON A DOOR
I woke up immediately and the cops were pounding on one of the doors right nextdoor to my room they pounded for 2whole hours before they finally kicked in the door they pounded and yelled Larry for 31/2hours first disturbing & taking away my sleep interrupted and not one single apology or compensation nor did they even mention anything about it I think it was rude disrespectful and I should be compensated for the room for that night since I didn't get to sleep all I got here was pounding and yelling and pounding and yelling and then once they finally got done and left I was able to get about half hours worth of sleep for the whole night I had things to do the next day they were very important I was exhausted and to top it all off I had to check out they didn't compensate me a room for the next night and even though I didn't get to sleep didn't care they didn't even apologize

It is the BEST Motel 6!!!
Pros:

This has been the cleanest hotel ever!!! No blackness on bottom of feet/socks.. Best Motel 6 as well, because they kept a full shower, unlike the others ive been to that had "modernized the room" and put in a corner shower with no room to shower properly. Office lady was so kind and helpful when checking in. Also, when we came back from a day out you can even smell the lovely scented cleaner from housekeeping. AC worked very well and the room/motel has been updated and well kept. Great lighting too!

Cons:

Beds were bit firm but had good support. The pillows were pretty much the downside of the time there. Thin pillows and needed 3 to be typical thickness of 1 good pillow. Plus they were firm, being so flat.
