Motel 6-Coalinga, CA - East

We just needed a place to rest our heads for the night before continuing our journey the next day. First I want to note Ashleigh, the receptionist, was totally sweet. I called to see what their vacancy was if I just showed up in a few hours that night. She said she could just take my name and reserve me a room without taking my credit card. When I got there there was an irate lady in front of me. She was upset that she had to wait till the receptionist was back from her break. Ashleigh was very professional with her. I asked Ashleigh for a quiet room and we didn't hear anyone till the next morning....ahhhhh. The room, 254, was basic. The bed was surprisingly comfortable. The shower was heavenly with plenty of pressure and hot water. Don't expect amenities since this is a budget hotel. The pool was out of commission. They had free coffee in the lobby, an ice machine and microwave in the vending machine room next to the lobby. Yes, Coalinga is in cattle country and you smell it outside when the wind is blowing your way. If you keep the air on in the room, there is no smell. The area isn't sketchy. It has two closed restaurants across the street but other than that, it looks fine. It's an area off a major highway that you can safely stay overnight and get gas. Harris Ranch Restaurant and Denny's are nearby. For just an inexpensive place to stop overnight, it fit the bill.

The thermostat was old so we couldn't set it to the exact temperature we wanted. But the air conditioner WORKS really well!

I was shocked at how much I enjoyed my stay. The room was so quiet, it was warm and the bed was fine. I only stayed for a night and didn't want to spend a ton of money on a place. So this was perfect.

The only thing that was annoying was that I somehow was able to get perfectly hot/warm water from the shower, but not from the sink.

This place has a good value. I-5 is like a 30s away. Also, the staff is very responsive and friendly. The place is clean.

This is not about the property itself. Rather, it is about the location of the property that there are a lot of water bugs that look like cockroaches in this whole area. Also, the wind here picks up the cow poop smell from the giant farm in town.

It's a Motel 6. As a Motel 6, it offers exactly what you expect and nothing more. This is a good thing when you are booking hotels. The rooms were very clean. The city room tax is only ~15¢!

This hotel is meant for people gambling at the nearby casino or passing through. I found the cookie cutter/ truck stop vibe of the area oddly charming and quaint. We did have to transfer rooms since our first room had no hot water, but the staff was very accommodating and easy to work with.

Met expectations for the price and for being a M6. Staff was courteous. Room was clean though worn out. Door locks were secure, shower was hot and strong, Denny’s next door and e-charging across the street with Starbucks at end of block. A good stop while on the road.

WiFi did not work at all. Only two thin sheets provided as cover—I was cold and had no blankets.

The facility's are gone and rooms are clean. No problem there

I didn't like the bed. It was very uncomfortable. Swayed in the middle like a very old worn mattress. Disappointed there. And as I have said before the tub in the shower is very slippery. I have almost slipped several time. That's very dangerous.

great location, close to EV chargers. friendly staff, comfortable bed, clean room

no AC close to nightstand or USB port. could use a USB charging port or ac adapter.

Micro and fridge in room good. Staff very accommodating about? Xtra supplies. Town smells (ranch center) but room was fine. Ice machine good.

No coffee in room but lobby coffee excellent. Birds are overwhelming at 5:30 am stay far from entrance and wear earplugs. Crazy!!!!

I have not yet had breakfast during my stay

The air conditioner and heater. I have stayed when its hot and their is no good air I have stayed when it was extremely cold and the heater didnt work.

the grounds were clean with trash cans accessible unlike the motel 6 I’m in tonight in madras Oregon. this one is terrible.

it was great for a place to sleep while traveling with dogs.
