Very Good

  : The hotel was within a block from the beach and the room had a view of the sunset.
  : The rooms did not have a microwave or AC. The parking lot was very cramped.

  : Location
  : By far the rudest staff and grossest hotel I have ever stayed at in my life. We booked last minute so we didn't have a lot of options. I should have read the reviews. When I first arrived the male at the front desk told me that he had already tried to charge my card even though it said when I booked that I was going to pay at the property. He told me that he would have canceled my room if they were sold out. That's nice after a 6 hour drive to find out we might not have had a room. He could have called me and let me know but that's to much for the people who work here. Upon entering our room the smell of fabulouso was so strong it was making me dizzy and my kids sick. We thought we could air out the room while we went to dinner but the smell never went away at all. The fan was broken and there is no ac so we were trapped with the smell. The very worst part was the bathroom. Even though the cleaning smell was so strong the was blood and hair on the walls of the shower and black mold everywhere. The sink backed up every time we ran the water. My kids were playing at the beach so we had no choice but to use the shower. At 3 am I woke up to the man in the room talking very loud and the walls are so thin I could hear everything. My throat and nose were burning from the smells. The mattress and sheets were horrific. I didn't know sheets could be painful to sleep on. The best part comes in the morning after we checked out already I needed to use the bathroom. The office was locked and a girl named destiny told me there were no restrooms I would be able to use. I asked if I could use the one in our room as we could see it had not been cleaned and she said no. It costs nothing to be helpful or nice and Destiny was far from it. When I started to tell her about the room she told me I'm not supposed to have three cars there (I had one) and get of her property.

  : The location couldn’t be any better for the Pismo pier area. The staff was great and the bed was comfortable.
  : The parking lot is a joke. There’s not enough parking and it is way too tight for a truck. If you leave you probably won’t have a spot when you get back. My room was dirty and the sheets were stinky in the middle like a person with body odor had already slept in them. I had to sleep on the edge of the bed.

  : How close it was to the beach, shops, and restaurants
  : My room location. I heard the trash truck every morning and septic truck for the businesses around the hotel. The AC didn’t work so room got warm.

  : Location was the only thing good about this place. Everything else was terrible.
  : Wifi doesn't work in rooms, only in the office and parking lot. The ice machine is broken. I was told we would have a microwave. No microwave at all. The suite was far from sweet. It's more like a bunkhouse hidden down a tunnel. The suite had a table instead of a couch like the pictures. Rooms are falsely advertised. There is no ocean view from any room! I was told if you walk out to the street you can see the ocean. I will never EVER take my family here again. No coffee pot. No bathroom fan. No screens on bath windows. This place is an absolute DUMP. I tried to get my money back so I could find another place to stay and was told it would take 3 or more days for a refund, and we were past the cancelation date, so I would still be charged for first night. I called Motel 6 corporate number but was not able to get ahold of anyone. I was supposed to get a call back within 24 hours. I have not heard from them, and it's been 36 hours. DO NOT STAY HERE! THE FLOORS WERE UNEVEN AND FELT LIKE WE WERE GOING TO FALL THROUGH. This property should be demolished. There is no light to shave in the bathroom. Open sewer drains in bathroom, when you flush the toilet the sewer runs through floor drains. The floors were crumbling from broken tile with sharp broken tile grout sticking out of flooring. (See pictures) This was an awful experience.
