We are regular M6 travelers (as we'd rather spend our $ on great wine and food). I'd put this one in the top group for sure. (not the best, but among the better ones) Came for Memorial Day wknd, $85/nite. Obviously, newly renovated, clean, fresh, comfy bed, good TV, etc. Has surprisingly nice grounds and a good pool. Friendly, easy... More

Spent one night here visiting my son at Cal Poly. Hotel is easy to find, not too far from town, and it was clean. Beds fairly comfortable but blanked and bedspread sub-par... Not bad for the price!

When you travel with a dog your options are limited. We use Motel ^ becasue they are always pet friendly. San Luis Obisbo South looks better on the outside than in the room. It was not refurbished as advertized on the sign out front, had a newer sink and tub but the blankets, spreads, matresses, carpet, and furniture are old.... More

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,... More

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... More

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... More

We arrived tired and hadn't booked anywhere in SLO, so I think we lucked out on this motel. The check in staff were helpful and let us view the room before we confirmed we were going to stay. We were given a courtyard room overlooking the pool, so had no road noise. The remodelled room was very clean, no mould... More

I am a budget traveler to the core and have no desire to pay outrageous prices for a good night's sleep. I am looking for a simple, clean, comfortable room with basic facilities and a good bed, and that is what I got at this motel. Excpet for a somewhat musty odor, everything was great. The bed had a good... More

I think that my days of staying at Motel 6 are in the past. We used to use a "good" Motel 6 as a quick place to stay on the way to our nice vacation in a resort, B&B, etc... we tried it again, and I just don't think that the $20 savings was worth it. We ordered a non-smoking... More
