Motel 6 Monterey - Marina

Negatives: There were people down below outside talking for so long their words carried upstairs. You could literally hear their conversation. It went on so long and it was so loud they were just chatting. I think while they smoked.

Negatives: I found a tiny cockroach in the bathroom, glad it was just one

Negatives: If I could give zero stars, I would. This Motel 6 in Marina, CA is a total disaster. My wife and I made the mistake of staying here, and on the very first day, she was evacuated from our room because someone was running from the cops outside. Yes, outside — and yet the police, instead of containing the situation, went door to door telling guests to get out of their rooms, effectively forcing my barely dressed wife into the middle of a potentially dangerous situation. How is that even remotely safe or logical? Apparently, the management here is just as clueless. I spoke with the manager and asked for the night to be comped — not only was it an awful experience, but we were literally put at risk — and she instantly shut it down with a smug, “It’s not our fault.” Really? So you let the place become a magnet for crime and drug addicts (yes, there were clear signs of that in the rooms below us), and you think that absolves you of all responsibility? Here’s a thought: maybe advise the police to tell people to stay inside instead of tossing them into danger. Or maybe do anything to support your paying guests instead of shrugging and hiding behind excuses. To make things worse, after my wife had to leave, no one from the motel bothered to call us back or let us know it was safe to return. We had to call them. Their response? “Oh yeah, you can come back now.” Like we were just a minor afterthought. The manager was rude, argumentative, and clearly didn’t care that a guest was humiliated and potentially endangered under her watch. This place is shady, unsafe, and poorly managed. Do yourself a favor and stay literally anywhere else. Sleeping in your car would probably be safer and more respectful.

Negatives: Stairs no elevator, no Kleenex, some buttons on microwave didn’t work also Missing a foot so wobbled, nice big room but could have used a nice comfy chair or small couch for watching TV.
