    This was our room

    Filthy room had other peoples clothes in the closet . Person next to our room having a tweaker party in his rig and room cops got called by other people. Manager basically could care less gave us a $10 discount . Pathetic Do not waste your money here

    Busted up and mold hvac unit

    I know it's Motel 6 and the offering is sparse. I'm totally ok with basic, you're usually only there to sleep and shower. This was just dirty. It was moldy, smelt like wet cigarettes and I think there had been mopped off puke on the wall. Pretty sure there was some snot on the wall as well. Code enforcement and the health department really need to check the place out. I really wish I could be refunded. Anyway it was disappointing.

    Room. Looks cleaner than it is.

    If you need a place to sleep and don't want to pay a dime more than you have to, this is a dry clean bed. The motel is quite run down inside and out and no frills is an understatement. No pictures on the wall, no coffee maker, no extra blankets, no shampoo for the shower and stained up white towels. There is a mini fridge and a microwave which is nice.

    It is like this throughout the whole room

    The room was dirt, smelled awful you could tell whoever was doing the maintenance and or remodeling of any part had no idea how to do i, I've stayed here a few times over the years. first time was 2007 and I would say it was pretty good then and the restaurant was the best, jump to today and the place is filthy and run dow, the restaurant is terrible and has no restroom for customers. it's pretty sad to see because this place had a lot of good qualities at one time and it's definitely been let go

    Everyone thinks Oh No a Motel 6 trashy. THIS one was actually very nice. It had everything in it except an iron eh but who needs one just wear a sweatshirt. 4 because the mattress was a cheap one and my back went out of whack. It needs to be on springs like the good ol'days. Breakfast, well you got small wrapped hostess donuts, a bit of fruit & coffee (good if your in a rush) just drive up 5 miles & go to Dennys

    Nice addition to the room. Don't see these in too many Motel 6's

    Decent for Motel 6. Front desk woman was nice and even recommended the yummy pizza establishment (D'Aurelio's) behind the motel for dinner. It was delicious! Room was as clean as most motels in this chain. We had a king bed room with microwave and refrigerator (with little freezer). Like the wood floors, especially for pet friendly establishments. The bed was old. Very springy and anytime anyone moved, the entire bed shook. This is probably the worst bed we've had while staying in this chain...and we aren't picky bed or pillow people. Another drawback is the window wasn't able to open. There was a rod put in it to close it permanently. We prefer fresh air over a/c, but ended up having to use the a/c at night to sleep because the room got too hot and stuffy. Luckily the a/c worked well, without any odd odors. Water pressure and temperature were good. Sink and shower drained properly, but the shower felt soft under our feet...water damage?! I let management know. Overall a decent stay. Would probably stay here again, only when traveling with pets.

    Dirt all. Maybe a new pet, named George?

    Motel 6 Fort Bragg, CA-June 10-11,2024. Thank god my husband and I (disabled) carry camping gear and a few cleaning products on the motorcycles at all times; because this location is a biohazard shithole. I have slept in a literal sheep barn in Australia that had a higher standard of cleanliness and repair. At the time that I am writing this, I have found a dirty sock under the bed, dirty tighty-whities on the closet floor, hairspray on the mirror, and dust everywhere. For a special bonus, every light fixture is a different wattage and color (which can be a trigger for a many neurological disorders). There's also a stairwell that's practically boarded and taped off, which I use loosely and in looking farther back on some reviews, I found that this specific stairwell seems to be a long-standing issue. How is every room on the second floor of that building expected to safely evacuate in an emergency, with only one set of stairs? Now, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. This is the second mess of an experience; however, it'll be the last time I let myself or anyone else suffer the reckless negligence and malfeasance that is permitted and practically encouraged with Motel 6's subpar standards for one to retain the ability to call themself a Motel 6. I was willing to look past the disaster of a location in Kalispell, Montana. However, this pathetically shoddy attempt at customer service that Motel 6 attempts to hock is habitual and I wouldn't be surprised if either of these locations results in someone eventually becoming ill or passing away because of something that happened at either of these locations. If "Nancy Y." is a legitimate member of staff, she needs a raise for cutting and pasting the same lame excuse for your sloppy and lazy franchise owners. The only consistency I have seen from Motel 6 is its stellar dedication to being a biohazard shithole.

    one side of the complex
    Sal V.

    I can not recommend this place. As nice as the staff was, this motel just seems so rundown and in desperate need of a face-lift. I asked for a non-smoking room but was placed next to rooms where people were smoking in their doorways, and my room smelled like smoke with a touch of urine. it was hard to sleep. I brought my own bed sheets, smart thing to do for this place. the pictures on their website are obvious touch ups. They had hardwood floors, probably for easy clean up. No door mats, so dirt and what not were tracked in from the outside. The lights were ALL dim, maybe to hide how dirty they rooms actually were. The complex is big, so they should be able to accommodate a non-smoking side without having to smell stale cigarette odor. It was gross. Check out other hotels in the area and make this your absolute last resort.

    Aside from Cinthia at the front desk being very welcoming, and that it was pet friendly, the room was horrible. Dirty and moldy, grimy and disgusting. The pictures will speak for themselves. Luckily we had our own blankets to sleep on. We booked the room for one night as we were just hanging out in Fort Bragg doing the Skunk Train/Glass Beach thing. It being right off the 1, in a coastal town, right after 4th of July we thought the price was decent for just a few hours of being in the room. About $30-$50 cheaper than other hotel/motels we looked at. One ice machine for the whole complex, that we could find and it was out of order. Indoor pool was drained and empty with the door wide open, feels like some kind of safety hazard. Pet area was a gravel 3x5 space that was almost always occupied by someone on a bike...maybe homeless? Not that big of a deal but made the place seem even more sketchy. To top it off cops were rolling through the parking lot with lights on about 2/3am for who knows what. Some kind of disturbance as people were yelling. Again, stuff happens but just added to the sleaziness. Don't waste your money!! It would be cleaner sleeping in your car. I reached out to corporate and they sent an email back literally titled 'General Apology'. There was not a place to add pictures so I sent those to them after the apology email. I have not heard back. I have worked in customer service for about 20 years, so I kind of get the general response to a point. Knowing that when a customer complained where I worked, something actually happened at the business to fix it but the customer got a general apology. I genuinely hope that this is the same for them. That they take the feedback and fix this disgusting motel. Fort Bragg is so laid back and the people are welcoming, it would be horrible for someone to get a bad image of the town by staying here.

    September 2024 If there was EVER a place that someone should go on UNDERCOVER BOSS, this is the place! First, let me say, we booked this hotel a while in advance and there weren't a lot of options to leave and book somewhere else, it was late and we were tired from traveling. There was someone checking in when we got there, they were back in minutes to say, the room was already occupied! That made us feel real safe that our stuff would be safe in the room...not! We get our key and go to bring our luggage upstairs (there are no elevators) and one set of stairs was blocked from off with boards and plastic taping! Door to the room was rusty. The bathroom was moldy, filthy and the "painted baseboards" was really just a swipe of paint on them. No hair dryer, no shampoo, sink mirror crack on frame. The TV wires were just hanging, and completely exposed. We were so uncomfortable that we jammed a chair under the doorknob. This "motel" was either a place for homeless people to live at or a pay by the our place! There was even a sign on the back of the bathroom door that had prices for how many people were in the room! The shower drain was so disgusting that I didn't dare take a shower. The pool was "out of service", and when I looked up other reviews afterwards, it's been out of service for years! When people leave a bad review "the management" literally copies and pastes the same response over and over. We will NEVER stay at another Motel 6 because of this experience. RUN from this place immediately

    The plastic piece that they covered the open window with.
    Tamara S.

    Awful place. We didn't have a bathroom window. We could not change rooms because they were booked, and we couldn't just go and spend another 300/400 on another hotel.Every time we left we had to pack up all our belongings so we wouldn't be robbed. The window was street level. I will include pictures of the measures we had to take to feel safe so we could try to sleep. They offered a minor discount.

    Railing need to be sanded and painted
    Jerry G.

    This location is in need of maintenance big time. Tub was chipped up and looked dirty, we had ants flooring was not very clean. We needed towels we had to get them ourselves? A lot of things need to be painted and landscaping need a lot of attention. The pictures on line are not accurate. Stay away not worth $220 a night owners need to do a major remodel.

She made sure our room was ready for us, gave us a discount coupon for a nearby restaurant, and handed us a list of local places to check out, which was so helpful after a long day of driving. Everything was thought out in advance, and we really appreciated that level of care. The room itself was nice, and the ocean view from the balcony was lovely. The location is great, and the property definitely has that classic coastal Fort Bragg vibe. That said, for nearly $300 a night, there were a couple of misses. The shampoo bottle mounted in the shower was empty, which was disappointing -- especially at that price. Thankfully, I had brought my own. It was also pretty noisy early in the morning, with doors slamming throughout the building, which made it hard to get solid rest. Because of those things, I'm taking off one star. Even so, I genuinely liked the place and would consider staying again. Huge shout-out to Cody for going above and beyond -- her kindness and professionalism really made the stay better. @wegotschwag on tik tok

We were welcomed by Bridgette who told us about an event downtown, and some local hot spots. When we got to our room it was all smiles. The very clean room smelled good, and looked good as well, and the view from the balcony was spectacular. The beds were super comfortable, and each bed had 4 comfy pillows. I wanted to just chill in the room for 3 days, but that's not why I go to Fort Bragg. I was there for the Christmas parade, shopping, Sea Pal, and some beach time.

We thought it was a saw, sounded like someone was doing renovations above our room. No 'continental' breakfast, just coffee pods and tea bags. Agree with Doreen B - rooms are shabby. Don't expect daily room service as that must now be a thing of the past. Rates don't reflect the lack of services or condition of the property. Location is fine. Not far out of town. Does have access to the beach - with a walk through a field and then a hike down a cliff. So if your up for that? There is a paved walk/bike path that runs behind the property and is heavily used. Don't expect privacy on your little deck - if you are lucky to face the ocean. Parking is slim, but there is a public parking lot right next door that you could walk over from. The staff is great. They are well aware of the properties shortcomings. Would I come back here again - no.

It's only 3.5 stars on Yelp so we passed and ate on our way. We were running late so that was really our only option to get lunch on our way to work. On the phone they asked us our arrive time and according to the gps it said 1hr and 12 minutes. She said she'll try to have our room ready as people were just checking out now. We arrived at 1:30 pm on Tuesday, May 4th 2026. To our amazement our room was ready, we weren't expecting that as we were so early. It was a blessing as I had to get to work in the room, we can work remotely sometimes. They also upgraded us to a room with a view. And it's a remarkable view of the ward and harbor. You can hear the sea lions, I believe barking at each other and many species of bird singing. There is a balcony with chairs you can sit out on too. The room has its own thermostat which keeps the room toasty warm on low and it's quiet. I can't recall what kind of unit it is but it's in the blood bad it quietly pushes hot air out. The room has a kireg type machine with sorted coffee, large mini fridge and freezer, and microwave. There is a desk and lounge chair and big screen tv with multiple channels. The shower/tub and toilet is separate from the vanity. The light to the tub/ toilet are is on the outside and the fan is extremely loud, so loud that it will wake up your mates who are in a deep slumber, so that's a minus. They have a ground floor that requires no steps and has a ramp that goes around to additional rooms. Other than that there are a lot of steps and no elevator that we've seen. So if you don't do stairs pick the ground floor and walk in on the lobby side. The lobby has all day tea, coffee, hot chocolate complimentary. They also have snacks and drinks for purchase: rice a Toni, Mac n cheese, spaghetti o's chicken noodle soup, tuna/chicken and crackers, chips, jerky oatmeal, and cold cereal. As for drinks they have juice boxes, milk, Gatorade, matcha, ect. No alcohol that I could see. The wharf is a 15 min walk or 3 min drive and they have seafood restaurants there. Across the street is Homestyle cafe for breakfast and lunch and you're a few min from downtown. This is a great location.

We had a room with a balcony overlooking the harbor and highway 1. Be forewarned, this hotel is definitely outdated, but it had everything we needed: it was fairly quiet, had a comfy bed, good water pressure, and was clean! Since our room was closer to the highway, it was a bit noisy with the sliding glass door open, but was fine once it was closed. It didn't bother us at night. Your room will also not be turned in daily, but they give you plenty of towels and the garbage cans are big so it was fine for our stay. Overall, we we'e very satisfied and recommend this hotel if you are staying in the area.
