Motel 6 Santa Maria, CA - North

Motel 6 Santa Maria, CA - North

10/10 Excellent
"I make it a habit of "not" staying @ Motel 6. They're usually run down, and with a bad element staying there. That's the reason why they're so cheap. But this was one of the "cleanest" and definitely most recently renovated Motel 6 I ever stayed in. It was well worth the price, given the cost of other hotels in Santa Maria. "
