Motel 6 use to have microwaves, refrigerators and coffee makers in the rooms. Motel 6 really needs to have microwaves, refrigerators…

LeoUnited StatesOne night stay
The room was very nice, and the staff was exceptional
Nothing!
TerranceUnited StatesIt was a bad experience due to cleanliness
There were roaches and other flying bugs in my room, the tv remote never worked at any point. My Fiancé got bitten up 3/4 times pretty badly. We have photos of everything.

- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.

Questions about Motel 6-La Mesa, CA
What time is check-in and check-out at Motel 6-La Mesa, CA?

Does Motel 6-La Mesa, CA have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Motel 6-La Mesa, CA have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Motel 6-La Mesa, CA?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Motel 6-La Mesa, CA?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
