    Not sure what all the negatives reviews were about from prior guests. But my experience at M6 Gilroy was the best from an M6 I've ever experienced. This location, and my room, was clean and better maintained than I initially expected and I've been to some super run down and awful M6 locations. First, the fact that it was an enclosed hallway type location was new to me. Much better. And the fact they had a decent sized frig and microwave - even better. No carpeting which was a major plus. Pleasant staff and the grounds area was well-kept with no vagrants. Also pretty quiet. Seems a significant dayworker population. Pretty rural area. Reasonable day rates in my opinion.

    Okay don't expect much... I never do and who does from a motel 6?! We only did motel 6 because they allow dogs free of charge and it was on the way up to Northern California, and we came in late- like around 3am and just needed a cheap place to sleep for 6-7 hours. The room was decent. The lady at front was nice. Check in was easy. I do like how this motel 6 is like a real hotel, with a lobby and elevator. Normally the rooms are outside and you can hear everything and not really secure. Bed was okay, AC worked, towels were stiff, room clean. The blankets are a big thin and not puffy. Bathroom was quite old and gross. Also just because this one is in the bay, it's about $100 a night when you can get a motel 6 near a beach in San Diego for $60 a night.

    We got the room with a kitchenette, it was nice at first but then we noticed a ton of ANTS! We weren't leaving food out either and we always cleaned up after ourselves...it was disgusting! Their elevator permit is expired BTW and hasn't been inspected for over a year...doesn't sound safe either! Front desk wasn't very nice but also not rude. They weren't much help with the ants. Our room key stopped working TWICE!

    It has the new, modern Motel 6 decor. Some things are good about it: The floors are now laminate, instead of disgusting old carpets. There's a modular tub/shower combo with a grab bar (but no non-skid finish, so I was glad I had my shower mat), and plenty of hot water. The air conditioning-heater unit worked very well. The place is pet-friendly, there's lot of parking, easy freeway access, and free coffee in the morning. Sandy's Cafe is right in front (good Yelp reviews) but is open only for breakfast and lunch. All rooms are accessed from interior hallways, and there is one elevator (albeit a very slow one). It's too far to walk to downtown and food options, but many restaurants, shops, gas stations, and the transit station (local buses, Greyhound, and Caltrain) are a short drive away. Easy to get to San Jose and San Francisco and points in between. The platform bed was welcome because it was a normal height. I am tired of hoteliers trying to outdo on another to see who could make the tallest bed possible. There's a wall-mounted large-scale high-def TV with a charging station with many different plugs (see photo). The laundry room on the second floor has 3 washers and 3 dryers, $2 each in quarters. Quarters are available from the front desk, as is laundry soap etc. for a small charge. There are two microwaves in the laundry room. The toilet dripped loudly. I could still hear it even with the bathroom door closed. Management was quite responsive, first trying a repair. When that didn't work, they immediately installed a new toilet. I found management and staff to be friendly and helpful. Not so good: The hard wooden chairs were very uncomfortable for a short, round person like me. (I believe they're a classic design, but that doesn't mean they're comfortable.) The edges cut badly into my skin. I folded and draped a bath towels over the seat, which helped a lot. No fridges or microwaves in rooms. No closets, but instead a few open shelves and hangers above on hooks. All furniture is wooden and everything except the chairs is bolted to the walls. Hard to watch TV while sitting at the table. The mattress slides around easily on the platform bed. Pillows are thin, and so are the walls. Easy to hear noise from adjoining rooms and from the hallways. Friday night I had loud drunk partiers check in next door at 12:30 am. The bathroom sink had only a spray option and I seemed to only be able to get either a weak output or a strong spray that ended up all over me, the counter, and mirror. Water from tap smelled funny as it came out but was okay to drink (no funny smell or taste). I did not use the WiFi but heard lots of people complaining about it. The laundry room is hot, there's nowhere to sit in there, and drying takes an hour. (You'll need all that time if you have a lot of denim.) The TV channel options were disappointing. There is something for everyone (e.g., news, reality shows, kids programming, two HBO channels) but it's more limited than it sounds. For example, someone (not me) who wanted to endlessly watch Duck Dynasty or Kardashian episodes would be in heaven. There seemed to be lots of channels like this. But I couldn't watch the Tour de France or the US Women's Open (no GOLF channel), for which I was volunteering. Since it was a high-demand time, prices were up a bit. I paid about $99/night. There do appear to be many male workers living there, but I never had an issue with any of them.

    Door lock would not work - Rust in the bathroom - smelly towels - no shampoo or body wash - no hairdryers / iron - their beds are a killer in a bad way ... I woke up with back pain. The two stars are for the front desk crew who were super friendly. The funniest thing is their coffee bar ... they advertise that they have free coffee in the morning. I get their and they have two pots both were empty and they were completely out of sugar. I thought that $70 a night is not cheap for the area but You get what you pay for I guess ... last time at this or any other cheap let's save a few bucks hotel / motel.

    Dirty dirty toilet
    Anissa C.

    Ok this will be a long easy review because there are no positive words to describe this Motel 6. Disgustingly dirty and when I say dirty I mean blood stains on the sheets dirty, so we suggested new sheets from the front desk. Nope they will do you one better and get you a new room but this room was worse then the first one. Fecal and Urine stains on the toilet seat and under the rim! In the time of covid when we are supposed to be disinfecting everything noooooo! not this motel. So that's the bathroom let's move on to the the beds. I think they were on crates. Nothing fancy about them and ok for comfort. Now for the clientele, there was a lady with like 5 dogs staying in the room down the hall the side of the hotel where the 3 doors that should be locked are broken so anybody can just come into the hotel. It was like a 24 hr party at the hotel, we can hear everything on both sides of us doors slamming kids crying people blasting music outside in the parking lot. Sooo when you see a 2 star rating or $64.00 a nights, and think how bad can it be! It's that's bad, so no matter how tired you are, I'd pay double the amount and find a better place then here.

    I just needed a place to sleep cause of work. And I guess it did that. Maybe I'm imagining things but it smells like garlic here!! It's really cheap, $43.99. It looks nice from the outside, but the inside is another story. The sheets are torn. The nice thing was, I arrived in town at 12:30am and they had rooms still available plus checkout is 12pm!!

    Violet T.

    I am disappointed. My mom, and I stayed here once before, years ago. I think it had just been built. It's really gone downhill. On the plus side, the staff is very nice. It's clean. There's an elevator, and there are interior corridors. There is Internet. Not a lot of interior noise. Note: I use a walker, and it is not super lightweight. We got checked in ok. No accessible rooms, but a double on the second floor. Of course while we were at dinner, the fire alarm went off, and the elevator power was cut off. Lady at the desk was apologetic, but not terribly concerned. As of checkout today, the elevator is still broken. The elevator was the main reason we chose this place. Many of the screens on the windows are partway off, which was a little alarming. The Internet is free, but spotty. It will likely drop you. Bottom line, it a clean, and adequate place to sleep if you are able-bodied. I wouldn't recommend it if you are disabled. If you do it, make sure you get an accessible room.

I arrived late at night and headed to the bar for a quick bite. I was immediately greeted by one of the friendliest bartenders--I wish I caught their name. The whole atmosphere felt welcoming, like a place where travelers actually connect and feel comfortable. The food completely exceeded my expectations for a hotel. I ordered the sweet chili wings (extra crispy), and they were cooked perfectly--crispy, flavorful, and genuinely impressive. The bartender was attentive without being overbearing, and everything coming out of the kitchen looked better than you'd expect from a hotel bar. The room itself was extremely clean, which is always a top priority for me. In the morning, I came down to a fresh, delicious breakfast that was the perfect start to the day. Overall, this stay was easy, comfortable, and way above what I expected. I'll absolutely be staying here again whenever I'm passing through Gilroy.

We started the trip with what I can say was a can't be beat resort stay here. We each had our own king rooms that honestly almost made me hate my own home. From the start of the stay pulling up to the security gate and getting greeted with so much energy and friendliness then being handed a rosemary bag to bring you into the mood. Immediately I knew I would love this place. The valets were great. The lobby staff were great. I was at the resort for two days and I swear I never touched a door to open. My room was ready early which was a bonus and the room. Again just great. Spacious. Ultra clean. All the amenities you could want. Fridge bar area. Fireplace. Sliding double doors to a private patio overlooking a fantastic golf course. Giant bathroom with separate soaking tub that was divine. I could review the golf all by itself. Super nice caddy Jack who it was a pleasure to spend the day working alongside and perfect weather because it can certainly get hot out there.

We also got the dark chocolate to snack on and that was good too. Beautiful winery and the grounds are immaculately clean. It wasn't very crowded which is nice and luckily we brought our low chairs to sit it. Just an FYI - I looked at the website before coming and it did say that they do provide folding chairs for their shows and we can bring our own as long as they are the low 4" or lower off the ground type and not the 14" ones from the ground with a built in cup holder which are the ones I have. Luckily my friend has the really low ones and she brought those. Much to our surprise they did not have any chairs on the grass set up at all - which was completely different than what's written on the website. So it was a good thing my friend brought hers. May be a good idea to update the info on the website so people coming to see shows here are aware of what to expect and come prepared. Thank you

We were a little concerned based on reviews we read but money was tight and we really had no choice but to stay here. There were no bugs. However, there was also no coffee pot, hair dryer, dresser, table, disposable plastic cups, ice bucket, ice machine, telephone, or anything resembling a decent lock on our door. Don't get me wrong, there WAS a lock on the door but it was the same kind of lock my older brother had on his bedroom door in the 1970s that anyone over the age of 10 could open with a playing card. I'm serious. It kind of sucked to have no table or dresser to put our clothes in/on. It would have been nice if there were a handful of hangers in the room so we could've at least hung some clothes up. Instead we had everything all over the floor. There were numerous homeless people in the immediate vicinity who were CLEARLY mentally ill including one woman who had the room next to us and came out one night accusing us of stalking her and threatening to call the police on us. We literally had never seen or spoken with her before this encounter. Now the upside. The toilet flushed with a TON of water which we loved and the shower was clean with great pressure and temperature and it had soap and shampoo dispensers in it. The manager (owner?), Bobby, is a nice man who runs the hotel with his father. He was very attentive when we told him about the crazy lady claiming we were stalking her however I wasn't very happy when he suggested he was going to keep $20 of my $50 deposit as a "cleaning fee" for the hair left in the room from our service animal. He quickly relented when I protested and reminded him that I had seen the messes some of his guests had left in their rooms and was certain our room wasn't anything close to the mess we had seen others make. All in all if money is an issue and you need a really cheap place where you can sleep and shower, The Oaks Motel is okay but don't expect anything fancy at all and understand that it is the cheapest hotel within 50 miles of Gilroy so you kinda get what you pay for.

    Avoid This Hotel If…read moreI could give this hotel zero stars, I would. I booked a room with one king bed and a pull-out sofa, but when I checked in, I was given a room with only a king bed. When I called the front desk, instead of trying to fix their mistake, I was told I was wrong. There was no apology, no attempt to verify my reservation, and no effort to make things right. I was traveling with my wife and our two toddlers. Because the room didn't have the sleeping arrangements I reserved, my wife and children had to share the king bed while I slept on the floor. When I asked if they could provide a rollaway bed or any reasonable accommodation, I was told they would charge me even more for something that should never have been necessary. The night staff was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. When I asked for the manager's information, the employee refused to provide it and wouldn't even tell me his own name. That's not customer service--it's avoiding accountability. The only employee who treated us with respect was James the next morning. He listened, apologized, and provided the manager's contact information. Unfortunately, despite leaving my information, the manager has never bothered to return my call. To make matters even worse, I was charged more than the price I originally booked the room for, with no clear explanation. This hotel failed at the basics: honoring a reservation, treating guests with respect, resolving a problem they created, and following up afterward. Families should think twice before staying here because if something goes wrong, don't expect anyone to take responsibility. I will never stay at this Hampton by Hilton again, and I strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you expect professionalism, honesty, or even basic customer service.

The house if filled with lots of knickknacks that were fun to look at, Trish's little box of essential oils that you may smell, a variety of books you can thumb through while enjoying some time on the outdoor patio, and a television in the living room in case you want to just veg out. Our rooms, the Kuschel Suite and the Captains Quarters, were upstairs and offered a cozy place to lay your head down at night. My room, the Captains Quarters, was themed very much as you might think -sailor-esque -  with a queen sized bed and a small half bath within the room. My friends room, the Kuschel Suite, featured a spacious full bath with a lovely claw foot tub with a great water pressure rain shower. Since I didn't have a shower in my room, the Kuschel Suite and the Captains Quarters shared the use of the shower/tub. One of my favorite parts of our stay was their sweet dog, SUGAR BEAR! I just wanted to pick him up and cuddle him anytime he scurried by. He would come and greet you anytime you walked through the door, which is always nice. Greg and Trish are such wonderful people to sit and talk to. Their hospitality truly made it feel as if we were at home talking with our families around the fireplace. The Joshua Inn has so much character and I loved looking through all the history regarding the home. The name, Joshua Inn,  has so much meaning behind it of itself. It's the attention to detail that makes this place so special. This was my first time staying at a B&B and the Joshua Inn definitely set the bar high for all of the future B&B visits.
