It didn't look like the usual Motel 6, in a good way. The price was good, the room was big and clean, and the bathroom was great too. However it did get cold during the night, and the heating system was just too loud. Also, I wouldn't advise the adjoining restaurant, even with the 10 percent discount. But I would... More

Yes, Motel 6 is a discount motel chain, but I've stayed in several over my traveling experiences and I have to say this one is among their best. This establishment is my go-to whenever I get away to San Simeon/Cambria (so far, 4 times and counting), and each time, the service has been super friendly and the rooms clean and... More

Most of the staff was helpful. The young girl checking us in gave us a room that had a view of the ocean and a truly non smoking room. The overall condition of the motel is poor...broken steps, tattered carpet. The bed appeared to be clean, but there were nail clippings and food crumbs around the room that were never... More

We have generally had pretty good luck with Motel 6 for one night stays.. This time, however, the beds and bedding were in terrible condition. There was no continental breakfast, but we were told we would get 10% off in the adjoining restaurant. Problem was the restaurant was not open the next morning! ("oops, sorry we lied" was the only...

Dog lovers listen up! If you ever want to take a weekend trip to Hearst Castle but are worried about what to do with your doggie - worry no more! Motel 6 takes all pets (we have a pit bull terrier) and they let you leave your dog in the room while you explore local adventures. No additional pet fee... More

We stayed at this Motel 6 for one night whilst driving the beautiful Pacific Coast Highway 1 from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The motel is right on Highway 1 so is very conveniently located. Our room was basic but very clean and the bed was comfortable and I got a good nights sleep which is the aim of the... More

I was ready for the Motel 6 to live up to its price, but I would have preferred that it was a bit cleaner. We also could not watch the TV because the people next door were using wireless equipment which upset the signal. If we go back we will stay in Cambria up the road, nicer motels and restaurants.

After reading many reviews of motels in San Simeon I chose Motel 6 because it was pretty much the only one I could find at a cheap price that i saw no complaints at all about any sort of itching after staying there. Almost all the others had at least one review saying that. So we went there. I requested... More

My kids two kids (ages 16 & 12), our dog Zoey and I stayed at this Motel 6 for only one night on Saturday, August 13. We come to San Simeon often and like to stay at the Best Western which is right on the beach. However, I can't afford to stay at the Best Western during peak travel times.... More

We stayed here for 1 night en-route to San Francisco. The motel is fine, rooms are clean and the bathroom is ok. It does feel a bit dated but not a major issue. We ate in the restaurant (Grill) for dinner and it was perfectly reasonable. Not too happy about having to pay for wifi though. Breakfast is not included... More
