I have stayed at a lot of Motel 6 motels over the years and they’ve been simple, clean motels. This one had bloody finger prints on the inside of the door and the water smelled so weird I made it a point to get bottled water. The room next to us blast at the TV all night and the guy working the desk couldn’t be bothered to say a single word to me when I checked in. That brief glimpse was the only staff I saw in my two nights stay, and no, no one cleaned up our room after the first night. I hesitated to write a review because I don’t wanna hurt Small Business owners and I know that Motel 6 locations are franchises, but this was something that other travelers should know about. I was bummed I wasted my Expedia points on it.

Basic motel. Door was difficult to open due to damage to frame. No bulbs in bedside lamp. Smoke alarm smashed Reported but nothing done in a week. Lots of homeless in the area

Everything was cool. The pillows are kinda not really pillows. I reccomend bringing one if you are particular about pillows. Owners were friendly. Which is not common in santa cruz.
