It was adequate, but way too expensive.
Pros:

The bed was more comfortable than I expected. Hotel staff was friendly. The proximity to freeway good and bad. Air conditioner worked good.

Cons:

I couldn't close door to bathroom. Temperature was 61 degrees in room when I arrived. TV was tiny and many of the channels were 4:3 instead of widescreen. The WiFi wasn't very good. The parking lot was tiny. All of these items I listed were not deal breakers by any means, but the reason I likely wouldn't stay here in the future is due to the proximity to the freeway. It was very difficult to sleep with the noise from the freeway.

Go personally view property before u send guess there. Not good
Cons:

I traveled to San Diego from Los Angeles from 7/16 to 7/19 for my family reunion and stayed at Motel 6. It was around 11pm the night of the 16th when I arrived with my kids. I checked in and got the room key. On the way to the room I instantly was not satisfied with the up keeping of the property. The elevator had some sort of liquid inside of it. Then when I got off the elevator to the floor my room was on I smelled a urine smell all on dat particular floor not to mention my room was literally towards the other end. I get in my room to discover the room was super fifthy like it haven't been cleaned from the previous guess. There also something in the room biting us up. My son &daughter and myself got bitten by something in dat room. I went back down to the lobby and they gave us another room which was alot better than da other room. Personally I was still not satisfied with the price I paid for this dump.
