Our house was getting fumigated for termites, we needed a place to stay for two nights with the…read morefamily and cats. I looked for something local and inexpensive, just a spot to crash for a couple of days. Motel 6 in San Ysidro had the best rate I could find online at $51.29 a night (plus the crazy hotel taxes). Since we needed two nights, I called to check if the walk-in rate was any cheaper. Nope! They quoted me $113 a night. So I booked two rooms online. For the price, I wasn't expecting much, and the room delivered exactly that. It had two metal-framed full-size beds, a TV, air conditioning, and a basic stand-up shower. The beds were incredibly squeaky, the room was dusty, and you could tell the floors had been mopped with a DIRTY mop. My feet turned black just walking around, so I had to wipe the floor down with a towel before we could comfortably walk on it. The cats collected an impressive amount of dust bunnies, it was pretty gross. The room we had smelled like smoke (there's no smoking in rooms in Cali), the shower was outdated, the sinks were stained and missing their drain plugs, and there was no TV remote. I went to the office to get one, but the first one they gave me didn't work. After calling the office, someone brought a working remote to the room. The walls were thin, so we could hear the guests upstairs squeaking in their metal beds, and people talking loudly outside at odd hours. At least the air conditioning worked really good. You really do get what you pay for. I wasn't expecting much, and they definitely met my low expectations. Thank God it was only for two nights lol
