Motel 6 Marina, CA - Monterey

Just okay. Room was clean. Plumbing from adjacent unit made a lot of noise. Lots of loud early morning talk in the walkways outside the room made me wonder if something illegal was going on.

Apparently now Motel 6 doesn’t have microwaves, refrigerators, or hair dryers in many or most rooms (at least at this property). There wasn't a list of in room amenities in the online listing, but I’ve never stayed in a hotel without these basic items. When we asked the front desk they said the rooms with those items cost $20 more per night, but they were all booked. There was no microwave on the property all all that a guest could use. In a photo in the listing there was a microwave in the laundry room, but we were told that even the employees didn’t have a microwave. One of the washing machine was broken, leaving only one to use. The property was clean, and the bed comfortable. However, when we spilled water and “mopped” it up with a hand towel, the floor was FILTHY. It was absolutely not mopped before we came. There was also a big hairball attached to the chair leg. Although it’s conveniently located (and pets stay free), we won’t stay at another Motel 6 again.

Clean, friendly helpful staff.

Cleanliness and the beach was right next to the hotel loved it

Our stay was from 12/28 to 12/30/25 not 12/27 to 12/29/25,….Staff that checked me in was very helpful in getting us a Handicap Room for my wife’s issue. The ref door was hard to open/close, noisy on the two nights with tenants above us moving stuff back and forth between 10:00-10:30 p.m., front door cold air coming in (needs to have a rubber sealant or something and the seat in the shower needs to be cleaned around it. Feels like the mattress and pillows were old. Other than that, my wife and I would like to stay there again where we can get a handicap room. It would be nice if they have pastries instead of just coffee and tea. Housing keeping was very friendly in issuing toilet tissue when needed. Thank you again and hoping to stay there this coming April.

Very clean and tidy room, on the smaller side, very friendly check in and check out person, male maintenance (?) worker or cleaner went out of his way to be very rude to me which soured my experience of the place. No shampoo, no microwave or fridge. However towels, bedding were all new and clean. Interior courtyard was grimy with cigarette butts but they do have a separate pet area for pets which was nice to have. Love that it’s very pet friendly with no ridiculous pet fee and Or deposit

Yes, the room was 'neglected'. I was told that "we don't do housecleaning". But never collect/empty the trash? Really? Also the it took at least ten minutes to get any hot (or even warm) water. Do you think you're saving money on heating it when you have to run the water for 10 minutes to even be able to use it to shower or shave? Also, the closet bar is so low that women's garments just drag on the flower. I like Motel 6's ... I've stayed in them since the 1960s, but I wasn't impressed in my stay in Salinas.

Kind staff. Clean room. Great location!

Yes

By far the best Motel 6 I’ve ever visited. Great location, always clean, easy parking, great price during the week. Front desk staff is friendly & very professional.

Clean and beds were comfortable.

Great staff. Easy access to freeway.

cheap

A little disappointed That the room did not have a small refrigerator or a microwave not even a community microwave where they have coffee.

Great stay as al

very new & clean. staff at front were very professional & friendly. Only thing I didn’t realize was there’s no fridge. but would def stay at this motel 6 again

The only issue was a lack of toiletries.

Yes

Staff was great room was ok toilet leaked water on floor

Bathroom sink is cloged,shower isn't working.

shower has very low pressure, water not hot, water could not be turned off.

Great staff, hotel is basic but does the work if you get tired and need a place to crash

1 and a half rolls of toilet paper. Don’t be cheap… just replace it with a new roll so I don’t have to ask for more later.

Yes

Room wasn't clean properly. After inspecting the room, I took pictures of plenty of pet hair behind the door, under the bed, and by the desk. I even found a pee stain behind the front door. We understand the motel is pet friendly but a thorough cleaning was expected. Exterior noise was clearly audible due to the lack of noise cancelling walls. Coffee and tea were offered but no hours were displayed or written anywhere. A shopping cart with trash was visible entering the driveway of the building, as well as behind which portrayed a transient encampment.

The young lady that greeted us at the front office was super sweet, even complemented my perfume! The stay was great! Some loud kids running around in the morning but that’s more on the parents than the hotel. Overall would stay here again! Great location!!

Fairly clean. Decent place.

Very dirty cheap ass everything. Very cheap. Never again. But the lady in office was wonderful.
