Motel 6 San Luis Obispo, CA - South

Motel 6 San Luis Obispo, CA - South

10/10 Excellent
"Motel 6 always gets a bad rap but this was an excellent place. The motel was in a good location, pretty quiet and felt safe. My motel room was comfortable and very clean (the floors passed my dirty feet test!) and felt modern, and the bed was cozy. I was given a nice room in the back (trees behind me) which probably made my stay better and quieter. Front desk people were very nice. I would stay again."
