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.

The only reason I'm giving this a 4 and not a 5 is that the bed was too stiff. Everything else was great. Clean room. Clean and lovely property. Nice staff.

Stayed at a Motel 6 decades ago and vowed never again. We normally stay in Morro Bay but needed a an inexpensive nights stay, since some event jacked SLO's rates sky high this wknd. Reviews were hard to believe, like 8.6 for a Motel 6, everyone said super clean, etc. Honestly, incredibly clean, like bizarrely clean for a Motel 6. No smell when we entered, and no negatives to wrote about. Staff was super nice, tons of parking, and in South SLO next to Courtyard Inn. Kudos to owner.

Yes the laundry was good. And the AC kept the room nice and 😎 cool. We like motel 6 just wish we can stay all month instead of 21days and then leave for two days then come back. But overall motel 6 is still the best place to saty. The staff here are amazing and awesome. And convenient to stores and freeway is just 5mins away.
