We havent stayed here in 20 years because it was pretty shady in the past. The new owners have upgraded everything and are clean and nice. I want to compliment the great staff for their their great helpful service. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area. Thank you, Ed and Denise Frates read more

Took me a minute to figure out what the STENCH in the room was... 2nd time I walked through the door though, it hit me, Animals. It smells like years of Animals having peed (cleaned up of course), but the smell is prevalent. THE STAFF that checked me in this afternoon were absolutely lovely though! So kind and complimentary (I was dressed for Christmas dinner at my families house). Just wish I didn't have to smell animal urine. HOPING my Ambien works well tonight! read more

Esmerelda the manager falsely accused my spouse of something he did not do and refuses to show me any proof on video surveillance. I once again asked her to see proof she said I don't have to show you anything I have a right to refuse service to anyone. Once again now she has accused my sweet German shepherd that passed away in October of biting a child my dog wore a muzzle when he was walked there's no way he could bite anybody.people were knocking on doors late at night asking for drugs.Candice one of the people who works in the office was very unprofessional she ran up behind me and startled me I have a heart murmur.I do not recommend this motel read more

We called to get a reservation, they said they has one room left, came to the motel, and this rude, snobby, lady said " you didn't book with us we don't have ur room" . But then continued to say how she called us multiple times saying the room was sold before we got there. ??? And then repeated our number back to us then right after said " you didn't book with us or our number" ??? Does that male any sense?? She escalated and went 1-100 in a second! Super extremely rude and impatient. 9/20/2025 read more

I had never stayed at a Motel 6 before. I decided to try it, since I'm a traveling nurse, and it would help to find a room at a lower price. I was pleasantly surprised. The room was very clean, mattress was new and comfortable. The best part is, that the staff is excellent! The only downside is that they need more No Smoking Signs Everywhere. People stand wherever they want to smoke. read more

Totally a two star establishment. That's not a bad thing, just know what you're getting. I got a clean room at a reasonably low price. The bed was missing the blanket but it was really hot weather so I didn't really miss it. Someone kept knocking on my door on the first night but I ignored it Recommended for a low price place to stay read more

We scheduled this Motel Six because we saw that it was clean, priced reasonably, and the location was perfect for attending our granddaughter's graduation. We were pleasantly surprised by how accommodating the staff was. We are older and had some special needs, and they were kind and thoughtful and accommodating. We recommend them highly if you are looking for a place to stay that is clean and reasonable in Simi Valley. read more

This was yesterday at night 5/23/22 we reserved a 2nights to stay in that motel and the guy in the front don't know his name but he told us that it was already sold out and like maybe 2 hours later they charged us $200.03 but we didn't even stay at the motel at all and also they might not even give us a refund for it! I don't recommend this place at all I have my reasons! read more

Welcome to the Motel 6 Simi Valley - Stay where the bedbugs stay. Beware, you get what you pay for. My family had Covid and I had to stay at multiple hotels in Simi valley. First the place looks old and poorly maintained. I drove past people drinking beer in the parking lot at 10pm and figured I was only here one night and maybe saving a little money. Walking around the hotel and up the stairs everything is so dirty. In the room they've drilled large holes through the floor and wall what looks like a long time ago. But the dust around the hole drilled on the floor never got vacuumed or cleaned up. I figure so was just there to spend the night so I went to bed. Later, I woke up in the middle of the night with my neck itching badly and big welts on my neck forehead, feet and calves. Then when I turned on the lights I saw the signature bloodstains on my pillow and sheets from the bedbug bites. I told the front desk person and she did nothing but tell me to take a card and that I "can tell her what I think". I called the manager later and she apologized and that they would have to investigate. After awhile of talking about the way it was handled, she offered a $20 refund. She said they would have check it out and see what they find. But she said "we have fleas too so...". Just the thing you want to hear from a hotel manager, right? I guess that was supposed to make me feel better? The motel 6 was the least expensive option in Simi. But the sad part, was that the Motel 6 was only $15 cheaper than the nearby Grand Vista hotel (which I had stayed at the night before). The grand vista is much much better for the small price difference. You get a bigger room with a fridge and microwave, and it solder but maintained far better. Plus I didn't get bitten by bedbugs at the grand vista. For $15 more you can avoid this disgusting dump of a motel and not get bitten by bedbugs... Or fleas. read more

I recently stopped here for the night while travelling from Texas to San Francisco. I chose Simi Valley because I wanted to wake up early the next morning and go to the Ronald Regan Presidential Library. This Motel 6 was nice enough. It was clean and well kept. The price was a little more expensive because of the location but it wasn't too bad. The location doesn't have much going on and I couldn't find any open restaurants after 10pm except for some fast food. read more

My girlfriend and I decided to grab room to split up a long drive today. As we were sitting poolside eating some two hours after checking in, we noticed a police car circling the building three times. Then the car stopped and the officers walked into the lobby. When they came out, they stopped to ask us some questions. We politely answered their questions as they explained they were called out because of a screaming woman. The officer initial questioning made sense and being concerned about safety we had no problem with them. Then suddenly the questions became directed at us. How long were we outside? Are we from Simi Valley? Where are we from? And then what's MY name? I hesitated with giving my name because I didn't see the connection between the suspect - a screaming lady and myself as a Latino. Not wanting to be a complete jerk, I gave him my first name. Then he asked for my last name. At that point, I asserted myself by expressing confusion and frustration with the line of questioning. His questioning became more disconcerting when he indicated he thought he knew me and thought he had seen me around. After our exchange, my girlfriend and I decided we needed to leave. As we walked into the lobby to check out, I asked the staff, general manager present, if the cops were called on us. Before they answered our question, the general manager asked my girlfriend's age. I was taken aback by the question. Such a question seemed to suggest that I was with an underage minor while also giving justification to the officer's interrogation of us. I have taken the time to document our experience at this establishment to forewarn anyone who is considering staying there that the cops might harass you if you are eating poolside with a significant other and the staff won't stop it. To me, an establishment has the responsibility of protecting it's clients whether from strangers or the police. Considering all this happened in front of the lobby and without so much of an inference from the staff leads me to wonder why it was permitted? Perhaps there is more we weren't told. I just know I can't remove the memory of my girlfriend being asked her age as if there was concern that I was breaking the law. Rather than stay the night, we departed without any request for a refund. I preferred protecting ourselves from police who rather harass people of color who were just enjoying a meal at the pool along with ourselves from indignities of the staff. read more

This place is completely disgusting. When I came into my room it was super humid and smelled like mold and mildew. Checked out the bed there was animal hair all over it- there was makeup on the other side of the pillow when I flipped it. Good thing I brought my own pillow and blanket and steamed the bedding..... Looked underneath the bed and there were beer/bottle caps so obviously the room was not even clean. Walk into the bathroom - the floor is lifted and there's black mold along the tub. There was a hole in the door. This place is legit garbage and super sketchy. Never again. Just wanted to get out of this place ASAP. 10/10 would NOT recommend. You guys should take a little more consideration into the cleanliness of the room because wtf this is NOT okay for the safety of anyone. read more

Very clean and it has to be really clean for me To say that ! I'm very picky when it comes to cleanliness . Beds are comfy . I checked The mattress for bugs thoroughly for bugs and the rest of the room . There was a mini fridge , coffee maker , blow dryer , air conditioner worked well . I had my dog and cat with me . I would defiantly come back . Good price and clean ,comfy beds . Can't beat it ! read more

Good grief Terrible Homeless hang out in the parking lot You get the impression the place is booked by the hour if you get my drift read more

Rooms are not thoroughly cleaned nor mopped. Hair everywhere in the bathroom. Mold in the crease in the shower. Plastic bag wrapped around the smoke detector. Marijuana smell coming into my room. Shady looking people hanging out in the parking lot. Safety is a concern. General manager has a very take it or leave it attitude. Almost blaming me for expecting a clean room and decent accommodations. Definitely do not recommend this motel especially if you're a female. I would like to add, if you contact corporate, they will just refer you back to the general manager. Clearly, this is why they can get away with unsatisfactory conditions. They are not held accountable or held to higher standards. read more

Gross place dirty and horrible service i will not be going in there ever. I'll stick to a 5 star and that's about all I can say

I was needing a room for a night(Saturday night) I didn't think too much into it but for whatever reason all hotels were book in and in the surrounding areas of simi. When I had called to ask if there was any rooms, Maria(I believe her name was) said at the moment there wasn't any but went above and beyond to get my contact info and call me if there was any cancellations. And low and behold later on in the early evening, I get a call from her saying there has been a cancellation. I get she didn't have to call me but she went above and beyond read more

Stayed here 2 weeks ago last minute and the hotel has beds bugs. I paid $140 for the room which it definitely wasn't worth it. I definitely do not recommend staying here and I will be attempting to get a refund. Go elsewhere. read more

Horrible fleabag motel. No shampoo, shower knobs do not work, dirty, smelly, rude staff, you are better off paying twice the fee for a room at any other hotel because at least there are amenities at the other places. ROACHES !!!!!!!!!! Also. they say no payment until you physically arrive, TOTAL LIE. They charge immediately and fully on Booking.com or any other site. Also, their digital keys DO NOT WORK! You're tired. You want to sleep. Tough luck, you're not getting in that room tonight, buddy. Have to call the front desk then wait an eternity for a gruff rude person to let you into the room you just paid for. Do not stay at this dump, pay more for a MUCH better room elsewhere. read more

0 stars!!! Horrible! My husband and 3 kids stayed here for the first time. $118! Came into our room, SMELLS SO BAD of cigarettes, it's a no smoking room! Our ac blows on low, even though it's full blast. We opened the window and door to try and get the smell out, and 3 more people came to smoke outside by the damn door. I called to complain about the smell. Dude offered a "spray to help with the smell". He brings me a dirty, empty can of Lysol spray. Lmao. They have "no" other rooms available. Bathroom is gross, the door has marks all over it, the toilet seat is wobbly, when my kid sat down she almost fell off because it's so loose. Sink water smells like DIRT. The only reason this place is still open is because the crazy addicts that book this place. All you hear is about how the cops are called at this location. Should've taken the reviews more serious . Honestly, I'd feel better if I booked a hotel in Oxnard. That says a lot. (And yes I should've booked somewhere else this was just the cheapest on short notice) sooo annoyed. read more

Motel 6 Simi Valley. Okay, it's Motel 6, but we were playing $120. As other reviewers said: very spartan; tiny sliver of soap, and shampoo for sale; hairdryer not in the room, of course, but not available at the desk either ("people take them even though we hold their driver's license"); thin towels and walls; rubber like pillows. But big complaint is that there was a big motel light outside our door and our room was the closest to a very busy street/freeway exit, yet there were small flimsy drapes somewhat over the window. It was daylight all night and very noisy. Why not heavy blackout curtains on the streetside rooms? Lesson learned by us! read more

Mario helped me with my reservation and he was very polite and accommodating! All the workers are great!

We found the room to be very acceptable. Very clean. Spartan in its furnishings, but for $85 a night, OK with us. No amenities i.e., tissues, shampoo etc., but really didn't expect it for this price. Right next to the freeway but didn't hear any noise at all. Bed a bit too hard for my taste, but OK. Staff very pleasant. Good shower. read more

I stayed there while my dog was being spayed at a nearby vet clinic. The room was very clean and quiet. The air conditioning was great. The front desk lady was very nice and helpful. The bed was comfortable and there was a table & chair where I could sit. I'm so glad I stayed there 8/12/20! read more

Not bad. Overall, they were very accommodating. We were there for about 2 weeks, after evacuating from Ojai due to fires. One gripe I have, however, was no microwave/mini fridge in the room. Became rather tiresome having to eat grocery store hot deli items. read more

Everybody is entitled to their Opinion & your entitled to write your review on your visit. My husband & I have been coming for years. Pet friendly is main reason why I originally came to Motel 6. My cat even knows when we pull up & he gets excited. I have nothing negative to say about Motel 6. Everybody from GM, Office Associates, Cleaning Service & Maintenance have been very friendly & attend to one if there is a problem. Not everybody is gonna agree but that's okay, everybody has their own experience & opinion. Thank you Motel 6 for making my Stay Comfortable. read more

This was DISGUSTING!!! First time we've stayed at Motel 6 in Simi Valley, Ca. It was the worst experience ever! My husband, son, and I found DEAD BUGS all around the room, the bed sheets had HAIR all over them (2 queen beds both had them) the hair looked as though it was pube hairs, and there was dirt scuff marks all over the under sheets. I used to work housekeeping, and this looked as though the housekeeper got lazy and reused the sheets from the previous guests who stayed in our room. That's DISGUSTING!!!! You do realize COVID CURRENTLY HAPPENING!!! The toilet had pee drops all over it, and the toilet was leaking all over the bathroom from the seal at the base. My key cards some how stopped working (I didn't have them near phones, other cards, or anything electronic) I had to reactivate my cards every time my family and I would try to reenter our room. The ceiling had water droplet stains. Maybe it's just their policy, but there was no ironing board or Bible. I've never been to a hotel that didn't have an ironing board or a Bible. For the amount I paid for, for THREE NIGHTS, the hotel should've been held at a higher standard. Shame on Motel 6. The staff doesn't care about cleanliness. I'm truly worried about bringing in bedbugs home due to this hotel. I was visiting family in Simi, and they've now been warned not to visit Motel 6. To the Manager of Motel 6, please fix this. You shouldn't subject your paying guests to these kinds of conditions. read more

surprised in a great way!!!! by this motel 6, mainly because of prior reviews. wisely this motel 6 (and newbury park) are under new mgmt. and have hired wonderful people!!! i needed a safe place to stay over holiday weekend; i did call a couple days in advance. had no problem getting booked and ladies whom i spoke with over phone were extremely patient and upbeat with my questions. i "had to ask" if there were bed bugs; if someone was there throughout the nite, safety of area. i was very sincerely, reassured and comfortable to enter room. room was spotless. shower clean and pressure: great! tv worked! great wifi that worked. clean towels. but most importantly: all bedding was sanitary!!!! absolutely no horrible critters! sheets, pillows, blanket absolutely fine, and mattress pillows extremely comfy. *staff all very very personable and accommodating, am coffee is nice. don't know if i got lucky but frig in room and micro available by office. only tiny tiny suggestion is microwave. very clean and looks brand new but did not heat up food "normally" and may need replacement. yep!! motel 6 is my "go to"!!!!!! read more

Don't know what most of the people here are complaining about. Have been coming to this location on and off since 2015 and have never had issues. Staff is fabulous especially the day staff as they are the ones I've interacted with the most and the few times ive dealt with night staff they have been great as well. Yeah you're not gonna get a Ritz type of room but you're not paying Ritz type of prices. Some rooms have fridge some have fridge and microwave you just have to open your mouth and ask for it. Never had issues with bugs except for one time there was a spider it happens even in your own home I'll bet you've had a bug or two. Geesh some people just need to get over themselves and realize they are paying for a motel 6 room not the Beverly Hilton which btw not the best of places to stay too many snobs...but some of you seem like you might fit in well with that type. So to reinerate not the Ritz but not the city dump, friendly staff no matter what day or time you have to deal with them, clean rooms everyine has had a bug at least once in their homes. read more

Motel 6 - Even my usually very anxious cat feels relaxed here - Hotels Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Where do I begin? When we arrived to our room, the bathroom had human hair all over the shower and dog hair all over the floor and on the walls. I went to the front desk and they were going to send someone to clean it again while we were out. Came back, office confirmed it was cleaned again but the bathroom looked the same with all the hair. Also want to mention, a prior guest wrapped a plastic trash bag around the smoke detector. On top of this being extremely unsafe, you would think the cleaning person would notice and remove it. They switched me to another room. Guys right next to us were smoking marijuana in their doorway and the smell was coming into our room. I have a young daughter who kept asking what that smell was. Again, went to the office and yes, she told them they can't smoke there but that didn't really stop them. They also kept their door open a crack all day long and into the night. I definitely didn't feel safe especially since it was only me and my daughter. Not to mention the creeper hanging out in his car watching us walk to our room. I asked to speak to the manager but her hours were 11pm-6am. I stopped at the front desk at 5:30 am before heading out somewhere for the whole day. The manager gave me 2 options. Pack my belongings at 5:30 am and leave it in my rental car and MAYBE they can get me yet another room on the bottom floor, close to the office when I got back OR just check out right then and there at 5:30 am with no where to go. I would not have been back in time for their 10am check out since we had plans until the late evening. I didn't find those options to be reasonable or fair. She gave me a generous $25 refund on a 5 night stay for all the trouble. Stay away from this hotel! Yes, you get what you pay for but rooms should be thoroughly cleaned before a new guest arrives and safety should never be compromised! read more

Shout out to CODY KEHOE, GM for this Motel 6 who emailed me back form letter after I left a negative comment on their web site. Do you NOT see how horrible your reviews are on here?? They guy who got bit by BED BUGS?!?! And NO RESPONSE from you at all?? Really?? I suggest you start responding to people on here as a responsible business and show some social media savvy by keeping up with the times. While I have spent many nights at Motel 6 in many different cities and have been satisfied with the basics the company offers and not having a problem with it, this one was quite disappointing in one glaring error. I depend on my CPAP machine to keep me alive. This is for people with sleep apnea. It helps me to breathe. It needs to be plugged into a working outlet. I don't think that's too much to ask. Well, I guess it was too much. The only outlet near the bed did not work. We don't carry extension cords with us, as there has never been a need. This was an egregious error that maybe no one else had pointed out to them. Meanwhile, why aren't your maintenance people figuring this out on their own?? Bad, really bad Motel 6. This will make me think twice about ever staying at one again. And you NEED TO START READING AND RESPONDING TO YOUR REVIEWS, GEESH!! read more

So you're cheap. Or maybe the company you work for is cheap. Either way you're looking to spend the night here because you don't want to spend a lot of money. To that end this is a decent place, though you can probably do better. As other Reviewers have said the rooms have been updated into a trendy, modern Ikea style. At first I thought it was cool but as my evening progressed I soon tired of the modern feel; the flat screen TV doesn't move from it's perch on the wall and only gets 7 or 8 channels. There's no channel guide in the room and the on-screen guide was off by an hour or so. Shampoo is not provided by this Hotel so if you didn't bring any (or didn't steal extra from the last place you stayed) then you can go downstairs and buy a tiny bottle out of a vending machine. Or spend a little more and go across the street to Vons and buy a big bottle which will last for a long time. They do have a fairly large parking lot with on the week-night when I was there had plenty of open spaces so I had no problem finding parking for my large work truck which was nice. There are a couple of fast food places within easy walking distance and a lot more just a short drive away on Los Angeles Ave. All-in-all not a bad place to spend the night, though if you (or the company you work for) can afford it the Holiday Inn next door sure looks a lot nicer and I'm guessing they will give you shampoo. read more

I stayed here last Thursday night, April 3 after having driven down the coast from Monterey. I was tired but was treated to a professional, efficient and cordial check-in by Cody. I had asked for a quieter room if possible. Cody even consulted the motel map to help find a quieter room for me. I really appreciated that. After staying at a non-refurbished Motel 6 in Monterey the night before I was pleasantly surprised at the updated room decor - hardwood floors and pretty hip furnishing that worked. The bed was very comfortably firm but soft. The flat screen TV was nicer than in many higher-end hotels. I'd recommend this Motel 6 to anyone. It's right on the freeway with easy access to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Museum. I found a great breakfast place, the Egg House, in Simi and got my car washed before touring the library. It's in a safe area too. Great digs for the price! Thanks again to Cody for a job well done. I stayed at the Millennium Biltmore in downtown Los Angeles the next two nights and had a higher level of service at this Motel 6. read more
