Motel 6 Oceanside, CA

8/10 Good
"It was a peaceful stay experience overall. The bathrooms weren’t the best shape unfortunately. Especially the shower, it was just very dirty with visible buildup and stains all around the shower seals and crevices. Staff member available during my stay was extremely nice and friendly. And location of the property is still nice given the resources available within walking distance."
