Won’t be back.
Pros:

I like how it was right off the freeway.

Cons:

These are live in units. So people are staying 30 plus days in these rooms so the upkeep of them are low and the amenities don’t work. Both rooms I went to had broken acs and you can tell the couch in the room where the table is was all cut up and worn down like it hasn’t had a deep cleaning in a while. And since people live in these you would think they would clean better. I’ve been to plenty of motel 6’s and this was by far the worst one.

Absolutely disgusting, overpriced, do not stay here.
Pros:

It’s near SeaWorld.

Cons:

This place is NASTY! The homeless hangout spot.. There is a very strong urine odor in the stairwell and hallways. I understand it’s San Diego, but this place is way overpriced for how disgusting it is. First and last Motel 6 stay for us.
