I am at this motel right now as I write this... I really screwed up, I have an early flight out of San Jose Airport in the morning, and I made this reservation on line yesterday. Let me give you the few pluses I see in this property... wi-fi is free and half decent, location to the airport and trolley... More

This motel is a poor value. Not even any soap in bathroom. Stale smelling. No information in room on TV stations or phone system. When calling front desk attendant not able or willing to give any information. Most uncomfortable.

This may not be the best location to stay in the Bay Area but its close to the airport, 101 and 880 highways and some restaurants. For the price I paid, the rooms were nice and comfortable and seem upgraded. My room had a flat screen TV, was clean and fit for a family stay. In fact this is one... More

Up until now I trusted the motel 6 brand, if a motel 6 was free I would book it and stay in it. NO MORE. Here's a list of my gripes with this accommodation: * Problems checking in, wrong room type * People live in the rooms, undesirable people. The carpark was full of hoodlems and I actually felt scared... More

Horrible Horrible Horrible Hotel I have ever seen. I am not sure how authorities are allowing them to go business. People pissing all over the place and when reported front desk did not bother to listen.

Booked a one night stay knowing that this motel wasn't in a great location but it was where I needed to be without spending a hundred plus dollars on a holiday weekend. Next time I will spend the money because this place is terrible! The neighborhood is not great but not the worst...the worst being your car is stolen while... More

We thought since 'Motel 6' is national, that it would be decent. WRONG. Rooms were smelly, dirty (chewing gum stuck on the headboard) and the riff raff hanging around the parking lot and rooms were scary and intimidating. We are well traveled, having stayed in many different types of places around the world, but this place is not even worth... More

When we checked in, by the look of the neighbors, it's scary. One Mexican guy who looks illegal hanging out by the stair on the phone sounds like he's doing a drug transaction. Another room with curtain open as if they want to show off their low class no job lifestyle. Guy with hoodie, tatoo, cigarratte, you name it. This... More

This motel is HORRIBLE!!!! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!! We checked in at around 11:00pm and were told the only available room was the disabled room for a total of $68.39. Already you could tell that this motel is in a bad area as checking in was from the outside with the stupid uncaring hotel clerk behind glass counter. And a police car... More

After finding out the the motel that we were originally going to stay in ( my mother, my husband, my sister and her boyfriend) was a complete dump, because my mom flew out a say earlier than us, we decided to quickly change the reservation. We chose this motel because of the central location and the fact that they said... More
