    Plenty of parking (we're about halfway down the parking lot) and 2 clean restrooms (for rest areas)

    Feels weird to give a rest stop 5 stars, but this was a cool place (THAT WAS OPEN!) to pull over when we got tired, pretty clean bathrooms for a rest stop (toilets smelled like chlorine in the morning instead of other smells!), was secluded off of Hwy 101, and the kids loved exploring the trail & creek. There's a nice day use area with lots of picnic tables, also! Loved the smell of forest and would come back if we were passing through again! We happened to come where we woke up to construction (removing trees, which is necessary), but that's not a norm -- we were the "lucky" ones :)

    Great view from back picnic bench, away from highway. Also enough shaded parking along the side if you need a safety nap.

    Pretty spot with a large clean bathroom. No overnight parking permitted & many highway patrol signs.

    Motel 6 - Dirty sock under the bed

    Motel 6

    This is THE MOST disgusting Motel 6 I've ever been to. The only reason I stayed here was because I…read morewas so tired and it was one of the only places with an office open late to allow checkin. I walked into the office to check in and was hit with the stench of dirty cat litter box. No one was even at the desk and took them a minute to come in the office. Im assuming there's a living quarters attached to the office. After checking into the motel, I had to haul my luggage all the way to the back of the property and upstairs only to find out the keys she just gave me dont work. I called the office from my phone and told them they keys dont work. She wanted me to walk back and get new ones. I told her I had all my luggage outside and im not leaving it there after I just hauled it all the way to the back and up the stairs. She agreed to bring the keys to me but it took like 5 business days for her to even leave the office amd walk back to my room. When I got inside everything was rundown, disgusting, broken, etc... The light switch doesnt work, you only have the bed light at the only source of light in the entire room. The windows in the bathroom and both bedrooms are covered in moisture and black mildew due to being old single pane windows. The floor was ripped up and exposing some kind of plastic layers underneath the fake wood panels. Shower has mold all over in the grout. Bathroom walls had splatters of who knows what running down the walls. The beds are atrocious. They are extremely springy and you'll sink down in them. The sheets got dirty on one bed because I have a rescue dog and she decided to pee on the bed. I immediately ripped off all the sheets to avoid it soaking into the mattress. I called the front desk and explained what happened and asked for a new set of sheets. They claim they have none and it will take an hour to get some because he has to wash them first. Mind you it was midnight already and he wants to make me wait till after 1am. I questioned him on the entire hotel not having any sheets. He claims "Well I wash them at night, thats why". Im going to call BS on this. What hotel doesnt have sheets/bedding ready? Do they only have enough bedding for each room they rent? I again call BS. I told him nevermind and hung up. The property has an entire vacant wing for some reason. There is construction EVERYWHERE and the pool is not operating. The construction that is being done looks weathered and aged and clearly no one is completing the construction currently. Its just sitting there incomplete. This place is clearly run by cheapskate slum lords and not that Motel 6 was ever glamorous but I can't believe that corporate allows this location to be run under their brand name. This place should be shut down and paying $95 after tax for this room is downright criminal given the poor condition of the entire property. Ice machine is also outside and fully exposed to the elements, bugs, rodents, etc... I wouldn't dare touch it with it being exposed like that. Anything can crawl up the ice shoot and into the ice bin. Most hotels have one inside. House keeping tried coming into the room while I was asleep. Luckily I had a camera recording. Its unacceptable that checkout is at 11am and yet they try to physically enter the room hours prior to this. Stay out of peoples rooms until the designated departure time. I would avoid this place 100% in the future unless you're fine with dirty, moldy rooms and house keeping that has zero respect for paying customers.

    I wanted to check out the beaches in this area like Glass Beach and Pudding Beach…read more The beaches are wonderful. The motel is not so much. The motel is run down. I would recommend going somewhere else first. I stayed at this motel because everywhere else was full. There's a nice restaurant/bar in the parking lot area. If you want to stay up rather than sleep, this is the motel for you because it's so loud. I needed sleep due to my 5.5 hours drive, and I didn't get any sleep.

It's just an old-fashioned motel. From my room, it was obvious that there have been renovations. The room and the bathroom were spotless. There is a shower instead of a bathtub and I like the fact that there was a lighted/heated mirror . There was plenty of light, plenty of plugs to charge my electronics, the TV got a decent picture with lots of channels, there was a fridge and a microwave, the bed was comfortable, and there was also a safe available. A couple of minor hiccups, The shower stall in the bathroom did not have any type of floor mat or anything to grab on. So you have to be very careful not to slip. The other small hiccup, was that I turned up the thermostat in the room all the way, and I was not getting any heat. I went back to the front desk, and she was nice enough to provide a rotating space heater, which kept me plenty warm for the night. I found out in the morning, that the temperature control is actually a knob on the heater, which is on the floor. As I said, I was very comfortable. Breakfast is very basic, toast, a waffle machine, hot and cold cereal, coffee, and "Sunny D." it was fine for me. iI you want more, there is a Denny's almost right across the street, and there are plenty of other breakfast places in town as well. I would stay here again. Thank you.

    Booked this hotel through a third-party site and expected something nicer based on the photos. In…read morereality, it's more of a motel and not very clean. The bathroom light in our room was burnt out, which was annoying, and overall the place just had an off vibe. Definitely not what I was hoping for.
