Studio 6 San Diego, CA - Hotel Circle - Mission Valley

I stayed at this Motel 6 recently and wanted to highlight the night security guard, because he honestly made a big difference in how safe and comfortable I felt during my stay. He was professional, attentive, and clearly took his job seriously. You could tell he was keeping an eye on everything without being intrusive. When I had a quick question late at night, he was polite, calm, and helpful. He checked on the parking lot regularly and made sure the property stayed quiet and secure. It’s rare to see someone in this role who’s both approachable and really good at maintaining safety. Employees like him make guests feel taken care of. He’s definitely someone Motel 6 should hold onto , and honestly, he seems like the kind of person who deserves to move up.

This was the first and last time I would stay at this property. To begin prior to checking in, we saw a sex worker walking through the parking lot. When we went to the building that had our room, the entire building had a very bad odor akin to mold. Our room was very dated with worn furniture and a strange ring around the toilet. The Studio 6 photos of the included kitchenette and the actual kitchenette were completely different. I tried to call the front desk but our room phone didn’t work so I walked back to the office to see if I had been given the wrong room. The front desk staff told me that a hot plate and a plastic tub of kitchen supplies could be delivered to our room if requested. In the morning we were awakened by the sound of a rooster crowing and another sex worker finishing

The location was good, I believe it was a 9min drive to drop off the rental car and get to the airport. It was a very quick check in process and front desk staff were friendly. I headed off to my room and as I was walking toward the door I saw a couple shady tweaker women standing out front of where it appeared that my door was. As I approached the room, it was in fact the number I was looking for. I heard one mumbling to the other as I squeezed past them to open the door, as I attempted to close the door behind me one of them attempted to push their way in. I’m 6’4 215lbs, so there was no problem slamming the door in her face, but I can see how this would be quite dangerous/concerning to someone else. I locked the deadbolt and latched the door and the woman began yelling profanities

Gag. We booked the “Studio” section. The interior corridor (which classic Motel 6 doesn’t have) was dingy and dirty, narrow, and sketchy to say the least. But when we finally got to our room and opened the door, there was a wave of stench that was unparalleled. I’m guessing it was pet odor. I can still smell it in my mind and my gag reflex is active. I understand that Motel 6 is low end but most of them are reasonably clean. This is my first time at “studio six“ and I guess I was expecting a little bit more. But this place was not good. We turned around immediately and had no intention of staying there. I returned to the front desk and asked if I could be refunded. She checked and said that I could be, and asked if I wouldn’t mind mentioning why I wanted the refund. I politely mentioned th

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and it was not a Goodnight sleep. For starters, our TV was broken or something because there was tape all around it and it would not play anything and would not connect to my firestick. I called the front desk about this and said it would be an easy fix to get a new TV in the room or just to have me fix it because I am an electrician, but the front desk told me they would fix it when i was not in the room. After I came back from about 6 hours at sea world nothing happend. They did not come and fix it and the only other option was to move rooms. The hotel was not very clean either, there were some stains on the pillows, blankets, and ground. I was with my family and wanted to relax and watch some TV but instead we needed to move rooms. Lastly I would say
