We stayed here while passing through SLO for one night, on our way to Big Sur. We wanted to stay somewhere cheap, saving our vacation funds for other experiences. We feel like we lucked out with this Motel 6. The hotel was just fine. Our room was clean and functional. The property was nicely landscaped, and included a decent pool, which we would have indulged in, weather permitting. The location was an easy drive to SLO's downtown, and also to the Madonna Inn. The front office clerk was very friendly and helpful. The only "weird" think about our stay? Someone had "tagged" my bedspread. Literally, there was a black sharpie tag, about a food across, at the foot of the bed. The bedspread was pretty brightly patterned, so I think the maid just didn't notice it when she made up the bed. No harm, but funny. This is a basic hotel, but I would gladly stay here again, and would recommend it for someone looking for a cheap stay in SLO.

Staying here for the last several years while daughter attended Cal Poly. Rooms were recently refurbished but have slowly watched the property slide a little, peeling wallpaper, stains in tub etc. Still a good value for the area, just don't expect much, just the basics. We bring our own towels, hairdryer etc.They have also had a bit of a turnover on staff, but are still helpful and friendly. Unfortunately Motel 6 attracts a different crowd and this one is no exception. However we still have found the rooms to be clean, free coffee in the lobby in the morning and the location is perfect. This hotel accepts dogs which was a great advantage for us.The pool area has always been clean and inviting, though not heated. We will miss this area as our daughter has graduated and moved on.

Our son has attended Cal Poly for the last few years, and we've stayed many times at this Motel 6. We can always expect a clean quiet room. Best deal in town if you don't mind no frills.

We had been to M6 SLO on a previous occasion and found it convenient for our purposes.
Single greatest advantage for us - accepts dogs (as do all Motel 6)
Finding it isn't exactly simple as our GPS took us off the 101 just one junction north of the correct one - 200A not 200B.
When that gets sorted however the staff (Tom) was efficient and a little bit of searching around finds a range of shops and stores within a mile or so including Starbucks, Food-for-less, Trader Joe's, a Costco and for thirsty travelers a Bev-Mo.
Rooms are standard M6 and in generally good condition. There is plentiful parking.

There was no discernible noise from adjacent rooms and as in all M6 rooms the TV is basic and the channels are all screwed up.

Recommended if you are on a budget and can get by without loads of expensive luxuries like hotel shampoo! BYO.
