No issues, they need to add air filters in the restrooms. It gets humid bad. Other than that it’s good and cleaning at your daily stay.

Would stay again, decent location by grocery stores and shopping. A short uber into downtown. They let us use iron and ironing board, and blow dryer, so ask the front desk!

I was really impressed with the cleanliness of both the room and the overall motel. I only needed a place to stay for one night, and it was exactly what I was looking for. It’s not fancy, but it’s very clean and the bed was comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

We stay at the Motel 6 San Luis Obispo South every time we come to town. It is affordable and a very nice property with lots of trees and in a safe area. Staff is always friendly and helpful. We like this place very much. The only complaint is the noisy big rig trucks that park in the back and fire up very early in the morning. Some of the best rooms are at the back but be prepared for the noise!

Stayed for 2 nights. Housekeeping did not service the room after the first night, so we had to request fresh towels from the front desk. Enjoyed the pool, although the water was a bit too cold. Only two pillows on the bed... could have used a couple more.
