Hotel Motel 6-Pismo Beach, CA (Pismo Beach, USA)

Although some guests felt the rooms were cramped, the accommodation often met or exceeded expectations for budget-conscious travelers. However, there was plenty of praise for the remodeled rooms with wood-effect floors and colorful design; some boasted microwaves and fridges. Many reviewers said the utilitarian rooms were sufficiently clean and comfortable and that they got good value for money due to the competitive rates, but a few critics felt they paid over the odds to stay during periods of the highest demand. The pets allowed policy and outdoor pool were a bonus.

Personnel were often described by reviewers as friendly, attentive and courteous. Check-in was usually hassle-free although a few critics claimed they faced delays on arrival to get in their rooms.

Guests appreciated the location of this motel just off US Route 101. It was less than two miles from the Pacific Ocean beaches nearby and also offered easy access to shopping and dining options in the area. An added convenience was the proximity of gas stations and roadside eateries.

Extra charges for Wi-Fi access were a disappointment for reviewers, who were often surprised it wasn't provided free of charge. There were occasional grumbles about slow speeds too.

Critics claimed they encountered hair and dust in some rooms plus stained sheets or bathrooms could have been more thoroughly cleaned. A few visitors reported encounters with cockroaches.

Thin walls blamed for enabling some light sleepers to hear noises from neighboring rooms. Noisy air-conditioning and curtains didn't block out light sufficiently were also obstacles to sleep for some reviewers. There were also reports of annoying pet smells or lingering tobacco odors in some non-smoking rooms.
