“Great Staff, Clean Room...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2011

Very surprised when I checked into the room the other day. For 43 bucks a nite I wasn't expecting too much. The room was spotless, good size and most of all the staff was really nice and just very helpful. Not a big fan of the neighborhood. It is right next to the 8 freeway and you get some noise but there were some shady characters lingering around. All in all though a good place for a couple nights. Again the staff is a difference maker!

“Motel 6, Poor Customer Service. Management is horrible, staff is great.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011

person found this review helpful

My family has had to stay at this motel 6 several times. This time the GM said he couldnt rent to us again, because our last room smelled like dogs! Wait they except pets, so I guess we didnt fit their clientel. We are prostitutes, druggies, recently released from prison and we always clean up after our pets as well as other peoples pets. I am a long term customer and would never go back to any Motel 6 after this.

I really enjoy staying there because of the value and the location. Everytime I go the staff is friendly and the room is fresh and clean... they got my vote!

“terrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2010

We had no towels and the room smelled like urine. One of the twin beds were lop sided. When I woke up the next morning, my back was aching. When we checked out, management refused to give me back photocopies of our driver license information. They stated that it was city policy and they will destroy our personal information after 90 days. However, I do not know if this is true. If something ever happens like identity theft, I will know where this transpired. WE WILL NEVER TRAVEL THROUGH EL CAJON CALIFORNIA AGAIN !!!!

“Will Not Stay Here Again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2010

I'm scratching my head at the glowing comments about this motel. I stayed here for one night in March 2010. I've stayed in plenty of Motel 6 locations and this is the worst room that I've had. The bathroom tile was pretty dirty. It looks as if this was designed to be a wheelchair accessible room (see the bathroom pictures). But that doesn't make sense because there was so little space. There was barely any space between the edge of the bed and the desk. The carpet was thin and frayed and the edge of the nightstand was missing its trim. The room was obviously tired and worn. At least it was just one night.

As for location, it's right off the freeway so it's convenient. The area seemed a bit seedy, though.

We were just passing through for the night. But if I were to stay longer, I would have spent more for a room in the hotel circle area.
