First time they even didn't charge me the deposit and she voided. They are trying to get you to pay more or they profile certain people physical appearance. Today July 26 2025. I came in around 11 PM asking for a room. There was a gentleman in front of me who was given a rate of $108 for the night. But when it was my turn, they quoted me $154 for the same night. I mentioned that the price listed online was lower, and instead of helping me out, the front desk agent just told me to book it online myself. In a very condescending manner like you either pay $155 or not get a room. She didn't offer to match the price or even assist with booking it at the desk, despite me having all the necessary documents, ID, and payment. To make things worse, her coworker was right there telling her to update the price, but she still didn't offer any help. Honestly, the customer service was disappointing and dismissive. read more

It was good. When we went to check in. I paid full online but they ask for a safety deposit despite paying in full? And only cash and only take $50 or more. We go in our room and mainly clean, the mirror had some black stuff. The shower head had like scale. And while I was brushing my teeth I see in the mirror the mold the toilet has. Beds were clean, smells clean right when we walked in, Ac works greats. Has vending machines and laundry room where you need a key card to access which is great. Tv is great. WiFi is fast. Commentary coffee in the morning which is nice of them. Overall it was a great experience and I would come back again. Also there was a security guard walking around at night so I felt safe. read more

This place is horrible even for a Motel 6. The rooms are filthy and disgusting. Bugs everywhere, hair on the towels and floor. The front desk staff is rude and so are the housekeepers. They are pretty content to steal your $50 cash deposit for no reason. If you like filth and losing $50, go for it! read more

We try to keep it clean. But it is disgusting. We had a roach crawling around our tooth brushes. read more

Stayed here on 5/7/22. Stayed in room 100, right next to the office. DO NOT STAY HERE OR LET THEM GIVE YOU THIS ROOM. Noisy as f"@&, rude people talking loudly after midnight, idiot stopping in front of office at 12:30 am blasting bass loudly in car. Yelled out the door for him to shut that crap up. Geez, rude, stupid people. Check in lady was great. Check out lady sucked. See pictures of GIANT ROACH I had to capture to be able to sleep. I have cancelled all my Cali Motel 6 reservations.

I'm only giving it 1 star because I have to. If you wanna smoke some crack or have low standards or need to sleep before you crash & die then this is the place for you! I do a lot of cross country traveling & stay in a lot of hotels & this is one of the sketchiest ever. It's not so much that it's a bit outdated, it's that it's actually not very clean to boot. Right when I walked in I was hit with a smell that only be described as spray & cheap air freshener. I don't know what they need more, a remodel or a new cleaning crew cuz the bathroom was not even clean & the towels were ghetto as hell! Looked like something you'd see in a mechanic shop! There were burn marks all over stuff including in the shower, there was hair in the sink & on the floor...just no read more

I would have given most of the staff five stars. But i paid for an extra day so that I wouldn't be awoken at 11 AM and I could sleep in. Somehow the front desk person misunderstood and I thought I had already paid. I wasn't happy about it at the moment cause I was really tired, but I'm really grateful that these guys have allowed me to stay here and help me out almost daily. The rooms are pretty updated for the prices that they charge and much nicer than some of the ones that I've stayed at. I just wanted to think Krystal, Edith, Sophia and couple more for the help during this rough time of my life after being robbed of everything I had, and grateful to have a roof over my head most nights call people think say oh thank heaven for 711 I say the same thing about Motel 6 I spent many years traveling with my mother, and we always stayed at motel six read more

WARNING DO NOT BOOK A ROOM HERE READ FULL REVIEW PLEASE!!! wish that I could rate it less stars than one. The room was full of body hair and other assorted hairs some of the towels had discoloration and of course there was a condom by my nightstand I spoke to flor the lady at the night shift who had no interest in refunding my money or even listening to my complaint or transferring me to another room extremely filthy and unprofessional workers. Do not take your kids or pets here god only knows what they could catch accidentally touching freakin condoms literally 1 foot from where your head lays!!!! read more

Everything went well. Staff was friendly and efficient. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Will be staying here in the future. Thanks to all the staff at El Monte Motel 6. read more

Great stay and a great value! We checked in on a Saturday evening. The last room available was a wheelchair accessible one which we did not mind but upon entering we realized that the sheets appeared as though they had not been turned down. We expressed our concerns to Sophia who was the employee that checked us in and she immediately locked up the office and went to retrieve us clean fresh sheets and apologized profusely which we greatly appreciated so much so that after a day of site seeing we decided to return and give them our business once again. Upon check in Sophia remembered us and provided a lovely room that allowed us a view of our vehicle so we had piece of mind for our personal belongings which we greatly appreciated. Sophia didn't stop there though. Fifteen minutes after our check in she PERSONALLY called in to make sure our room was to our satisfaction! Wow, if that isn't fantastic customer service I don't know what is?! I would like to personally acknowledge Sophia's phenomenal customer service and the fact that she went above and beyond. I would also like to acknowledge the fact that I observed her training a newly hired employee and the patience and kindness she extended to her while checking me in. Bravo Motel 6 I genuinely didn't expect much more other than an economical stay but employees like her really made all the difference in my stay and I will 100% return as result of Sophias wonderful customer service. read more

Motel 6 - El Monte - Covid clean and much appreciated. - Hotels Near Me - El Monte, California

Highly disappointed Motel 6....before I used to rate 5/5 but now thanks to this pandemic I have to give 2/5....your company disgust me here....front desk very polite but once I entered my room with family; talk about I needed to do a deep cleaning....everything was dirty....I and I repeat """I""" had to be the "maid" and clean the entire place. Looked as if the Maids are slacking off during a pandemic....covid is still around worse than the flu; maids should care at this time like before to keep everyone safe since they only clean once others check out. Shit if maids won't do there job right then give it to me....I bin a housekeeper 6+ years read more

STAY AWAY from this Motel 6!!! Be warned!! If can give it zero stars I would, Never again will I book at this location! Room 106 is roach infested and I demanded a refund and left that room at midnight even though all the hotels/motels were booked due to the BTS concert within that area. I rather drive miles away for a clean room or drive 6 hrs back home then stay in that room! Front desk lady working that night May 5, 2019 didn't argue w me and was quick to refund me but didn't seem too concern like this is the norm for this motel. This ppl is what you get when your reservations were cancelled by mistake by another motel 2 wks before a major event and you settle. Never will I settle again and I rather stay at nicer hotel and drive into the event rather then stay at a roach infested motel that's close to a venue. Not only that I was suppose to be in a non smoking room which the lady stated it was but you know ppl smoke in there bc the cigarette smell just hits you in the face as you walk into it. I'm so disgusted by the place. Do not book at this location!! You've been warned read more

My husband and I spent 5 days there and that whole time we didn't get offered room service, 100 dollars a day you would think it would be more accommodating. No clean towels offered or anything. It was very disappointing. Staff wasn't friendly either. House keepers saw us standing outside and nothing was offered not even toilet paper. It was disappointing and we won't be going back. Wish we could have our money back. Worst place I have stayed at and that's saying a lot because we have even stayed at the M motel but they actually offer room service. read more

This motel doesn't service your rooms and gives you clean towels or bed sheets. You have to go ask a maid for clean towels and sheets and make your own bed. Covid is over and businesses have been open to the public. Why should customers have to go ask for clean sheets and towels and clean the room? Wow! If the fire alarm goes off they'll knock on the pound on your door stating it came from your room. What else do they know what comes from your room? Also, if you're a bit late from check out be warned they'll call the police and have you forcefully removed. They're not professional at all and very rude to customers. Never will check in at this motel again. read more

If you are looking at this page before booking your room, MOVE ON! We stayed at this Motel 6 while traveling cross country and we have to say that it was the worst place we stayed at. This includes sleeping in the car, in the middle of the woods, while in a thunder storm. The terrible experience played out as follows; 1. We showed up at 1am after driving from Las Vegas. We were greeted by a very rude employee who gave us our room key and said little less. 2. When we entered our room it was a bit disheveled, the furniture was worn down, there was a huge gap under the door, and the bathroom was gross. 3. After we fell asleep we were woken by people screaming in the parking lot at 3am. This didn't just happen once, but multiple times throughout the night. 4. When we showered in the morning the water pressure was terrible and it often slowed when others used water in the hotel. 5. When we went to the car, there were scratches all over the doors from someone trying to break in even though it was parked in front of the lobby door. When we told the staff member she said, "I'm sorry, thank you for staying and come again." In the end this is a terrible hotel, with terrible staff and no place to safely park. read more

Everything you would expect for an inexpensive, safe and clean lodging. The staff gladly accommodated my extra long vehicle with an orange safety cone. My second night, I used my ADA placard and took an angled position in the van accessible parking spot. My room was within view of my vehicle and the location is well lit. Customer coffee courtesy isn't available until 6:00 in the morning which is too late for my schedule. Staff suggested the Chevron just a few yards away with exceptional coffee and tea selection 24-hours. My two nights went smoothly for all my special needs. The room had housekeeping service after my first night with fresh soap and towels. Great bargain, safe and accommodating motel! Thanks read more

I know the saying you get what you pay for would put a Motel 6 in a different class from a Hyatt hotel, but there is still a standard all hotels share of being clean and well kept. I have stayed in many Motel 6's and this one gets the "will not return" stamp of un-approval. Not a bad area of town, but the rooms are in pretty awful condition. I think when you find cigarette burns on the bedspread for a non smoking room it should present some concern. Bathroom and bed were in bad shape and when moving the bed on wheels from against the wall the items found behind were pretty nasty. Would not stay in this specific hotel again. read more

We had reserved a room for 4 adults we on.y got one key, then once in the room ready to take a shower we only had 2 towels went to office and was told there was none, but we paid for 4 adults they should have towels for each of us, very disappointed. Also the beds did not have top sheets just a blanket that has been used by a lot of people it would have made sense to put a bottom sheet then the blanket the office said it was done this way because of covid?? That makes no sense, so we should sleep with a dirty blanket next to our body, explain this one to me. M. MANGSKAU CONFUSED read more

I have never, ever, ever in all 41 of my years on this planet seen a bedbug.. Well, until I came here.... I was woken up around 3:20 am believing there was a mosquito in the room, I had welts everywhere. I woke my wife up, she said turn on the lights, find it, kill it.. Turned the lights on 2 fat and full bed bugs right by my pillow.. Thank goodness I got up, my face was next... I gave this Place 2Stars because of the location of the event we were going to, and the staff was helpful to us also, accommodating after incident.. I generally shy away from Motels that people live in, but due to the Santa Anita Derby you get what you get.. Also try going back to bed after being attacked by bedbugs... read more

The security guard banged on my door because I was late for check out. I told him I was in the bathroom, he tried to force his way in, and told me he would call the police even when I told him I was "on the toilet" literally. When I left, there was a huge dent on the driver side front bender of my Mercedes. This security guard is horrific, I will NEVER stayed at this hoffic place with such ridiculously vicious security guard and maid! The front desk staff when I checked in was horrible too, clearly racist, suggesting I might have "parties" going on and she "could hear everything because her room is underneath mine." and she would call the police if she hears furniture noises or "a lot of people walking around" in the room...I stayed at Motel 6 for years and years because of the cheap price, after this, I will stay at AirBnB. read more

I stayed here for an extended period of time. The staff was so accommodating and kind. Love this staff, thank you so much April!

I had an early morning meeting following and evening meeting in the area. Rather than drive back to the Inland Empire, I decided to stay at this motel. I had been in the room less than an hour when I looked and saw a roach on my bed, in the midst of what appeared to be sexual intercourse stains...yes...f..ck stains...on the bed blankets!...they changed my room..when I opened the door..a roach scurried under the desk..I took pics...I brought the desk clerk up to the room. The roach remained comfortably perched on my bed. As we went back and forth from the front desk, I noticed the steps and side walks covered with black chewing gum, paper, filth. This place is NASTY! DID YOU HEAR ME?......IT IS NASTY! read more

Stayed here last night...long drive so I just needed a place to stay, but the only room they could give me was a Handicap room...what a joke. The cleaning people are a freaking joke, dirty floors, dirty night stands, roaches smashed on the wall and just left door and a 3/4 inch gap on the entry door. I have no freaking idea why I keep staying at these Motels...next time I will just sleep in my car. read more

Me & the wife were on a recent road trip to Irwindale Speedway. After nearly two hours of driving I told the misses that I needed to pull over somewhere & stretch my legs & have a smoke. While sitting in the parking lot of a Denny's, my wife spots a Motel 6 nearby & asks me if we should check it out. I said sure, it looks legit from the outside & it does have a pool. We wheel over to the motel & the clerk promptly informs us that check in was at 3pm. Really? It was already 12 noon & we wanted to rest before heading to our destination in the evening. The clerk however informs us that he has a room available now for check in but it is a smoking room. Interesting because I thought all motels were non smoking now. The clerk did warn us that the smoking rooms smell really strong of smoke but I thought me & the wife would check it out for ourselves before getting the room. All I can say is WOW! Not only did the room stink of smoke but it also reeked of weed! No amount of Glade Air freshener or Fabreeze was going to save that place! Also my wife spotted some sketchy character that was next door & she didn't feel safe. We just left the ghetto of Nasty City for the weekend & were not looking to recreate the "hood experience" on a out of town trip. I later checked out the Yelp ratings on this place & it looks like we dodged a real bullet there! I can only recommend this place to gangsters, drug dealers, prostitutes & hood rats. read more

Saw roaches this morning after we extended to stay another night. Wish that we have seen this sooner. When I came back in the afternoon, the key did not work.

First time try this motel 6 location. I used to stay at Hacienda Heights. I found this place is alot better. First, it's close to freeway but not so close that you'll hear the traffic all night long. It takes me only 10 mins drive to get all kinds of food I want. They also recently remodel to modern room. It's clean and comfort. The staff is also on the friendly side. The only one complain will be the shower. They DON'T have bath tub, only shower room. The water slash out from the shower room and make the floor very wet. It's so wet and get to the point the floor molding was fell off in my room. Overall this place is ok to stay, consider the price and pet friendly. I'll go again until I found a better one. read more

booked the room through hotels.com for myself, and the day before the trip my dad decide to go with me, because price had gone up, I called up hotels.com and they called the hotel and was able to change my reservation from a single queen to a 2 double, no extra charges, so far so good. upon arrival manager said because we had two people, there should be an extra $6, I said that's kinda weird because when searching, a single bed and dual bed is the same rate, she further explained it goes by person. (it kinda doesn't make sense because anyone would assume a dual bed room means 2 people, it doesn't). anyways, everything seems ok, it was a short stay of 9 hours, however I did find a couple issues. The bed next right next to the heater/AC, literally touching each other, so the entire night I had this heat blowing on me, then found a dead cockroach on the bathroom floor in the morning, and the bathroom door is very damaged(see picture). extra star for the nice customer service, manager did not charge me the extra $6, there is nothing else to rave about. read more

I stayed here 1 night and when I got here the front desk was very rude and racist told me I looked to dark and young to be able to afford the room (I was so shocked and disrespected). Then when I finally get in my room the smoke detector is missing and there is 2 burn holes in the cover, I was confused so I called the office to ask for another room and told them what I saw but no one would answer. So I walk down and ask Carla for a new room she basically tells me "you get what you okay for" I said I asked for non smoking room she said it is. Now it's almost 2am and I'm exhausted so I had to get my own cover out of my car and used that to sleep comfortably. Then the next morning I go to get my $50 deposit and the same woman Carla accuses me of smoking inside of my room and tries to blame me for the smoke detector and tells me she cannot give my deposit back. When I asked for a manager she "my manager does not deal with your kind" at this point I am pissed and highly recommend no one stay here especially if you are a person of color! The definition of a racist CARLA! read more

Loud, gangster types hanging out in the parking lot until 2am, their friends dragged chairs outside their room and Hung out drinking and smoking.

April Vasquez is the manager. She was VERY accommodating in helping us get a room after leaving a disastrous and dirty room (Rodeway Inn in Rosemead off N. Del Mar). Given that it was the Memorial Day weekend, and leaving the other hotel due to its uncleanliness, April was able to give us a room with a Queen bed. At first, when we went into the room, to me -- it looked like a Full size bed, and questioned it, but then she took us into another room that had a Queen, and sure it was indeed a Queen. We were hoping to get a room with two bed in it, but at the time they didn't have any......then she called up to our room, and ended up giving us a two bed room and it worked out. She is super nice.....SUUUUUPER sweet and VERY VERY accommodating! We traveled from the Bay Area (San Francisco area) all the way in traffic going down I-5 and getting into L.A. at 1:12am -- originally checking into the nasty, dirty, and noisy Rodeway Inn in Rosemead, CA off N. Del Mar, that we had to leave there and met April at Motel 6 who helped our trip go better in the end with a cleaner, more decent stay......AND she hooked us up with free WIFI!!! This is the type of manager you want to encounter when you travel from a place far away, after an exhausting drive and staying at a nasty place hours before. SHE ROCKS!!
