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 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.
