Totally fine for the price. Not pretty, but Clean.

Nice neighbourhood.

I've stayed in this motel many times on business, mainly because it's walking distance from the train station and it's cheap. This is one of the better Motel 6 locations, with renovated and updated rooms. The property itself is well kept, plenty of free parking, a pool. Rooms have a king size bed, fridge, no microwave. If you want to microwave something, you need to go to the lobby and use the one in the breakfast room (where they serve coffee but no breakfast). Be sure to get there before 10:00 p.m. because the door will be locked for the night shift.

Rooms are good and the bed takes up a lot of space. Comes with desk, phone, armchair. No ironing board or iron. Thin but clean towels. Daily maid service if you want it, and all for about $60 a day if you book online. Try Fontanetti's batting cages next door. Fun.

The good: they recently installed washers and dryers for the guests to use in the vending room. $2 a load. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance, bus service right outside, light rail and train service just a few blocks down, and close to the Arena for Sharks games and concerts.

Quirks and problems: there are some obvious lowlife types who hang around this motel. I've seen women dressed like cartoon hookers wandering out at 8:00 a.m. and scary guys hanging in front of my room, who when encountered pretended to nonchalantly ask me for a light for his cigarette. The last time I stayed here the vending machine had been broken into and everything inside was stolen. The neighborhood isn't all that dangerous but it's not all that pristine, either. A few bums and junkies wandering about, and rough characters staying here, plus it's a motel and the only security you have is that window and door overlooking the parking lot.

Overall, it's not bad for the money and I've never had any problems here.

We needed a room for one night near a concert we were attending. The desk clerk was pleasant, the room was clean, and there was an interesting bookstore and several adequate coffeeshops and eateries within walking distance.

Stayed 2 nights in total in different room different times. This Motel 6 has very nice rooms above Motel 6 standard, some of them are bigger (202) some bit smaller (203). Generally for the price you get nice and clean room with microwave and fridge. There is a nice dining are with table by reception (which is not common by Motels 6). Staff very friendly! Night calm without disturbances. However, please don't expect shampoo and hotel class amenities...come on, it's still a basic motel, bud definitely worth staying for the price!

Neighbourhood is calm, Italian and Mexican restaurants nearby. CSV Grocery store is just 5min walk down The Alameda towards HP Pavilion, which is approx 10min walk. There is convenient store 7/11 in neighbourhood too.

Definitely will stay again!
