well, i really prefer writing good things and letting people know they doing a great job. Let's say then that of course the 59.99 price was great ( this is where you learn that you get what you pay for. Lesson learned. And from my vast experience in 2 to 5 star hotels and even the motel6 chain (Carpenteria-on beach side is best by far accept they have the wrong guy as manager. See my review of that location. Getting back to this Simi Valley Location. If you are looking to score drugs, stolen property and sleep next door to Americas most wanted then this is your motel 6 NOT MINE! And I'm really easy going and don't have issues with others how they live their life unless there are way more of them than me and they are checking out what electronics I had in my truck asking to get any money I could help them out with. I watched, and the need wasn't for food for their kid lets say. I walked by the managers room which was all lit up (it was at night) but right next to the pool and way to front desk/office. I never seen so much in one room. I mean it was packed. Besides being full of stuff all the way around the room there were three cute little barking dogs in the window of the managers room. I was glad my room wasn't next to the three barking dogs. I have three dogs myself and my 5 pound Yorkie was with me on this trip to motel six hell Simi style. He was well behaved and now that I think about it he was probably scared to death. There was a HUGE dog (by sound of his deep deep dog voice) left alone and not at all happy about the temporary digs who was for over an hour and a half non stop howling and barking when I first got to my room and locked myself inside. The rooms seemed bigger than Camarillo M6 rooms. But the decor was just as bad as M6 camarillo. My window drapes though didn't have twenty worn spots like you find at Camarillo M6. Blankets at Simi M6 were a little better. I never touch the comforters at any M6 anywhere. Same for this M6. The door did close ok. It did lock and I was able to add the lock from inside for extra safety while I was inside. As for my things when I go out of the room. They aren't that safe. And really the door locks are just to make me believe I'm safe inside the room. If someone wanted in my room believe me they would be in my room without to many kicks to the door. The window though did have newer double locks on them. Old style small TV. a less than beauty rest mattress, and dated furnishings with ugly blue carpet. Two thin small pillows and a bath mat and two cheap thin off white towels and tiny package of M6 bar soap at sink and tub side. two plastic drinking cups in plastic and one high dollar plastic ice bucket. I'm kidding about the high dollar ice bucket. The shower was ok. The flow was good and stayed warm. If you are taller than 5'6" you'll have to duck low to get your head wet. the shower head is made for those of us 5'5" and under. The grounds was dirty. Gum, insect spray cans sitting on top of over flowing outside trash cans. A bunch of dirty garbage under the staircase was still there come 11am the next day and diapers had been added. Smelled great on my way to my truck. Dogs and kids running around. people out early buying dope for their Sunday. I know a few things and know what I'm seeing going on there. Could be a great place if it had people who cared about what was going on there. Talk about a place who needs a security guard 24/7. The manager who lives there needs to pay attention and maintained it better. It really needs an updating of everything. I know the manager has no say in that but if they had people staying there who actually sleep and not up ruining everything maybe corporate might find funds to remodel it like Carpenteria south. If you are a nice little young family you don't want to stay here at this local. The cops could get there quota of tweekers just in a couple nights at this location. I didn't see any COP'S patrol this location. Believe me I was listening in my room for that sound of the heavy two doors closing and the sound of the dispatch radio calls. Here's what I know now to be true. Anything hotel/motel wise at 99.00 up is going to usually be your better way to go) As far as M6 goes they are as good as the city/town they are in. I've stayed in some nice quaint towns and M6 is a great place to stay. It's all about who is running the place. On a good note. The only good things about this location was the person at the front desk (Saturday night the 18th of May I stayed here) & the room I had #215 had a new AC unit that froze me to death. . Speaking of death I just heard about the murder at this location. That's really so sad. I can tell you it probably wasn't their first nor their last. I don't have time to proof this I gotta run. I hope this helped you and you are going to be looking for a different place to stay while in the Simi Valley, CA area. read more

Motel 6 - Hotels Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Ok! Let me start by saying "everyone deserves a 2nd chance" This is actually my 1st review & I been a yelper since 2010! Is worth to spend 2 min and tell you why I gave 5 stars to this hotel! Make it short & quick... Opening the door of our room I was speechless!!! I love the new furniture (my husband called it ikea furniture LOL) they changed the old furniture to modern style. It felt like we were staying in 5 star hotel. It didn't had that nasty smell of cigar when you open the door. The wooden floor is a PLUS keeping the hotel feeling fresh and clean. There was noooo dust! I couldn't believe the price I paid just for one night. The bed is comfortable and the flat screen tv makes you feel at home. Did I mention they have HBO? Is worth it! I was a little scared to stay there because of the previous reviews. The staff is amazing & I even tip housekeeping staff for doing a great job. My fam lives in Moorpark so close to the hotel and we even got the trails close by. It is the perfect hotel for us! read more

See all

I reserved the room online through Priceline.com. I paid a higher room rate to have the amenity of having a fridge in our room - something that was important because we have a 1 year old who still wakes up at night for milk, plus rather than letting our milk spoil at home while we were away, we brought it with - and apparently a microwave was supposed to be included. Upon arriving for check in, we were told that the fridge in our room was broken and there was nothing that could be done because they were booked full. All the desk person could do was give me free wi-fi which I didn't want or need (which might I add is absurd as is because most hotels give you free wi-fi). We got to our room and not only did our fridge apparently not work, it wasn't even in the room. Neither was a microwave. The beds were hard, but the room itself was nice. The next morning, I talked to Denny and let him know that I was not satisfied with the situation. I needed a fridge. I didn't care about the microwave, but I paid to have a fridge in my room and with a 1 year old - it was needed. Denny was very calm and understanding and said to check back around noon to see what he could do for us. At noon, we were informed that Denny would either move a fridge from another room into our room or he would move us to a different room. (All the while, one of the housekeeping staff was arguing with Denny in front of us saying that the room we were in already had a fridge and microwave even though we had just come from that room and it didn't.) Denny eventually got us switched to a new room that had a fridge and microwave which I greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, this room wasn't as great as the first in terms of cleanliness. The beds had hair and dirt/sand in the sheets. Personally, I have used Motel 6 for a lot of our travel because it is budge friendly and I have never had so many issues. I will not be returning to this Motel 6 location. The only reason I am even giving 2 stars is because Denny was so great and worked with us. read more

Needed to be out of our home for two days while some work was being done so I searched for the least expensive, pet friendly hotel and this is where we landed. I was a little apprehensive until we arrived. Not only did they let me check in early, but the staff was very cordial. There are no "extra" amenities but our room was very clean. Would recommend if you want clean and affordable and don't need any frills. read more

I have to go down to one star even after they gave me a free night. On that free night, - I was told I had to wait about 15 minutes because they "couldn't" check in anyone so near a shift change. What? OK, we wait in the parking lot. - They try to check me in and... they are out of key cards. How does a hotel run out of key cards? The person who just came on shift just has a note from the last guy, the guy who was too lazy to check me in. read more

Was very helpful on booking and getting my military discount. Even called and asked if I liked my room! Normally I don't get that from hotels where I stay read more

I have no complaints. Friendly front desk staff checked me in quickly and efficiently. The pool was sparkling clean and refreshing on a hot day. Even though the property is next to a freeway, the soundproofing was adequate and noise was not a problem. Good selection of dining options and a supermarket down the street. I really enjoyed my stay. read more

I was there April 18th 2019 last week around 5ish I came there with no reservation because the Plaza in Simi Valley were jerks the Lady at the counter was soooo nice she had a room for me and my boyfiend in minutes we were from out of town visiting the reagan Library. She was happy to bring extra pillows and make our stay comfortable and everything was clean and the place is quiet so stop in if your in the area and need a place!! read more

This is probably the worst motel I've ever stayed at. No Wi-Fi (unless you want to pay for), the beds suck, shampoo and conditioner is sold in a vending machine instead of provided for you like every Other motel I've ever stayed in. When I went to check out the continental breakfast, I found out there wasn't one, just coffee. There's a holiday inn right next door that is way better, if you have the opportunity to stay there I highly suggest it. read more

ver nice staff Lusia was very helpful and kind rooms are clean always. thank you again

I like this Motel 6. It was not overly crowded and the maid service was excellent. The manager Fablane was very nice, accommodating and the places were clean and comfortable. It was one of the nicest Motel 6's I've stayed in and is right off the freeway in a nice location. I enjoyed during chores in Simi Valley as it's a nice city.. THIS HAS BEEN A GANG OPERATED MOTEL - I'D AVOID IT. read more

Overall stay of hotel one, motel stated WiFi but you have to pay for which doesn't work well. The motel doesn't offer a late check out not 30 min nor a hour, front desk staff is rude on grody looking just like the motel, don't recommend anyone to stay here read more

For the price it's fine. Very clean and quiet. People that manage it are very nice and happy to see u. Room was ready when we go. Useful information for us budget conscience moms read more

By far the worst place I've ever stayed at for work not to mention they give you 1 bar of soap and you have to pay 3$ for a tiny bottle of shampoo in the vending machine and the girl at the front working was super rude to me and my workers and there was cops circling the place all night long so don't leave any personal belongings in your vehicles or when you leave your room what a nightmare ..... i suggest staying right next door for the extra money and free shampoo . Never again. read more

After confirming a two-night stay at this Motel 6 through Hotels.com, I came back late after the first day to go to sleep. But, my key wouldn't work after several tries. I went to the office to get it fixed, only to find that my room had been given away to someone else. After asking about the whereabouts of my things from the room, I was asked many questions about what was missing, if someone else was traveling with me, etc. I finally learned that my items were removed from the room and placed on the floor in the office for who knows how long. No explanation as to why this was done; sympathy but no apology. No manager on duty for a resolution. I'm still taking inventory to ensure I got everything back. Instead, I got questions about how I had made the reservation and a comment that I should have made it directly with the hotel. Not what I wanted to hear. Such a violation of me and my property. And, no one had called me during the day to say that there might be an issue. I was told when I made my reservation that I should prepay the first night to ensure I would have the room when I arrived late that night. For some reason, the reservations agent made two separate bookings, but I was assured they would be linked, so I would be in the same room. No one said anything about a problem for the second night when I checked in. Subsequently, I learned that I was moved to another room and not the configuration I had asked for/confirmed in making the reservation. The person on duty couldn't put me in the right room as the motel was sold out. Not wishing to give either another nickel, I drove 6 hours home in the middle of the night. Fortunately, I hadn't yet been charged for the second night. At least Hotels.com gave me a refund for the first night as a courtesy, whereas Motel 6 refused to do so. It's now 5 p.m. the next day, and I have been given no explanation nor apology by Motel 6. I have heard from no one at Motel 6. Complete Motel 6 and Hotels.com fail. Never again with either. read more

I spent close to 3 weeks at this particular location. First of all I will admit that the layout of the rooms is amazing. I've stayed in many other motel 6's where the furniture was old and out dated. Of course I also paid almost half the price, but I feel it's worth it to pay a little more for better comfort. The first few nights were great and ran into no problems. Even was able to use a 10% off code which came in handy! The staff was very nice every time I interacted with them and helpful. I had to check out for a day and came back later that evening. Of course I was placed in a different room and assumed there wouldn't be a problem with that. Well they decided to put me(a single male) in a room with a conjoined door. I can totally see how this would benefit a family, but since I was by myself it was absolutely pointless. I tried not to let it bother me, but turned out I could hear EVERYTHING the other people in the room would say or do. It literally felt like I was in their room it was so bad ! I'm not one to complain so I just dealt with it. Until one night I guess a guy stayed in the room and the cops were called on him ! So at 4am I am awoken to the sound of their door slamming open and an officer telling this obviously drunk and belligerent guy to stay in his room, which he was none to happy to do. So after a brief yelling match she closed the door and I assume he turned the tv up as loud as he could and passed out. The entire time I have to be up in a few hours for work and now dealing with this ! Thankfully I called the office and they fixed the volume problem for me which was a great help. Now unfortunately it didn't end there. The next night they decided to put an entire family in this room, 3 adults and 3 children in a 2 bed room ! And let me just say that was the WORST night I had ever spent there...never in my life have I heard children scream and cry like this the entire night ! The parents did little to nothing to stop them either. Of course I called the office and asked them to let the people know how loud they are. I'm not sure if the kid in the office truly did ever call, or if this family just down right didn't care cause it never stopped. So after I had my entire night ruined(and spent $75+ for this) I was obviously a little upset. I went to the office first thing and asked to speak with the manager. Thankfully they remembered me from the previous problems and I guess had ran into similar complaints with this family as well. Why if they knew this family had previous issues they would decide to put them next to me with a conjoined door I'll never know. The manager was very nice I'll admit and happily gave me a free night and moved my room so I would no longer deal with these problems. After that there wasn't any more incidents besides cops being called on upstairs neighbors and such, but that is out of their control and just comes with staying in a motel I suppose. I will definitely recommend them to friends and admit the staff is very nice and helpful. I appreciate them letting me stay as long as I had to, but only wish they offered any kind of weekly rate as opposed to having to pay every night...that definitely adds up ! read more

Had a sweet, long hair awaiting me on my bath towel. Place was OK and no frills. I guess I just can't believe people pay $100+ a night for something so basic and so-so. read more

Motel 6 - Not mine!!!!! - Hotels Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Don't think I'll be staying here EVER. We were staying next door at the Holiday Inn. We have stayed in some areas we weren't fond of but this place has had more cops in a week I have seen in a lifetime. Then to top it off we returned to our hotel one day and look over there and the coroner and medical examiner are there with once again multiple police officers. I don't know what goes on at that place, but I am glad that our hotels security is really good. read more

If you are a non-smoker, you may want to stay away from from this place. My non-smoking room smelled like an ash tray. The air conditioner blew cigarette smelling air, the bed spread and blankets had cigarette burn holes in them. When I got home, my clothes smelled like cigarette. P.U. read more

Disgusting. Non-smoking rooms smell like smoke and have cigarette burns in the bedding. Asked for a different room and it was the same situation in that room. Would have rather slept in my car. Stay away from this place!! read more

This Motel 6 and its courteous and caring staff saved my life. I needed to drive down south for my grandmother's funeral. I only had cash, and my military ID and a valid CA Driver License. Just no Debit or Credit Card. The night before I left on my sad journey, I booked a room in Camarillo, I held the room with a credit card on bookings.com and chose the option to pay in cash at the hotel. I drove for 6 hours to get there; I was exhausted to say the least. When I walked into the lobby at "The GoodNite Inn" Camarillo. The lobby was full of what looked like construction workers. I was annoyed at the wait, but only because I was tired, and it now was getting close to if not over 30 minutes waiting. When you're just forced to stand there in a small room of people you can't help but notice what is going on and listen. I can't at least. I work in an operating room and it is part of my profession to know what is happening in a room at all times. I'm observant. So, with that in mind let me tell you how the rest of the story unfolded. The reason I waited so long is because the gentlemen in front of me did not speak read or write English. However, the young man at the counter, Juan, patiently worked with him climbing through hoops to make sure that he had a place to stay. I heard Juan say to the interpreter who was with them that he only needed to charge $1 on his card and then he could get him a room for 2 nights. I was thinking to myself ok perfect, I can pay for my room in cash and I can even leave $100 cash deposit if they are worried about it. It's just me, If they will give this guy a room, and he only has to have $1, I should be fine. Not the case whatsoever. So finally, it was my turn. Juan refused to give me a room. Because I had no credit card. End of story. I lost it. I yelled at him (I'm sure it is all on video) I could not believe that he worked so hard to cater to an immigrant (which I have no problem with being kind, but to all) I assumed being an actual citizen I would get at least the same treatment. Not so, even after I explained that I lost my wallet, I needed to be at my grandmother's funeral, etc. he said it was policy and refused to help in any way. He refused to give a single woman traveling alone with cash in hand, pre booked online with a credit card a room. I have never felt so scared and alone. Motel 6 saved the day, I called frantic, and they gave me a safe room, accepted my cash and helped me calm down and feel safe! Thank you!

Outstanding front desk staff. Every single one of them is a pleasure to work with. I should know because I had several extended stays with them this year. Rooms are clean. The new HD TVs are fantasctic, as is the channel line up. Housekeeping just okay, when they actually show up. Didn't like having to chase them down all the time to trade in dirty towels for clean, and for more plastic drinking cups, etc. read more

Unfortunately, this is by far one of the poorest run and dirtiest Motel's in the the entire area. The front office staff have no clue as to greet or treat customers. This location has no laundry room - has had multiple (the police patrol the lot constantly) drug busts and (check the newspapers) even had a murder occur in one of the 2nd story rooms just this last summer. The rooms are dusty, the beds are ancient and if you ask for a non-smoking room - good luck. Our room was supposed to have been non-smoking but the walls were yellow from cigarettes and even the blankets and bed spread had multiple cigarette burns on them. These rooms are vastly overpriced ... can't understand why. Lots of pit bulls and lowlifes stay here. The front end manager on duty was terribly rude (Fabiana) and very, very nasty and unfriendly. The General Manager here swears like a sailor and is all tatted up and seems to like to dress like a teenage street walker. Poorly managed. If you run into any of the staff outside of the front office - good luck - they are all illegals and don't speak a bit of English. BOYCOTT this location at all costs. read more

You do realize this is a motel 6... Do I really have to say "it is what it is." Whats the real expectation vs the perception of a business that is in place to provide a decent room for real cheap... I haven't stayed in one in MANY years but I did need a real cheap place last minute... I realize that I can save money, but do I want to experience some of the things I might not want to... That's a question you have to ask b4 you you rent... It's funny to see people rip on motel 6 or Mc Donald's for what they offer. read more

I like this motel 6. Luv the remodeled room nice quiet location. Just wish they had a refrigerator and microwave in every room instead of just the double bed rooms. Friendly staff and conveniently located to many stores and restaurants. read more

This motel has lost my business. Lady at the front desk told me I couldn't check out a room because I wasn't 21, even to just stay the night and move on the next morning. I know lots of places are like that but when they know my story I can usually get something. The holiday inn next door had amazing service and the breakfast was great. read more

So i booked my reservation b4 11am to stay one more night i paid online through the website called then called the front desk asked if they received my reservation and payment they said yes asked if she can process my chk in without going downstairs again as i have done before without a problem she said yes at around 2:55 i get a super loud knock at the door nobody announces themselves then they open the door before i could get to the door turns out it is housekeeping but she has no cleaning equipment and asks if i am staying or leaving cleaning time and check out time was long ago why was she really trying to get into my room.. she said they told her i had checked out.. i called the front desk again they put me on hold and said they did nt get my reservation till now which was a lie as i confirmed they did before 11am this morning they say they are sorry for the inconvenience and proceeds to telling me next time check in at the front desk instead of calling them even though i never had a problem before doing this.. she puts a manager on the phn n she keeps telling me basically its my fault cus i need to go to the front desk to chk in next time as if that was the problem or it was my fault i asked why the housekeeper was even coming to my room at that time if chk out was at 11 she said she was jst chkn the room to see if i was still there i asked ehy they couldn't jst cal instead of sending housekeeping to barge in i could of been naked .. they make a mistake and instead of admitting and sincerly apologizing this is how they treat their customers. And as if that was not enough they have ppl calling you at 1am waking you up asking for someone by a different name. Not sure if this is the staff doing this or hotel guests read more

This is a very minimalist hotel with no coffee maker, Kleenex, clock, phone, hair dryer, extremely small sliver of soap. With that said at $105 per night it is $30 - $40 less than two much nicer hotels I stayed at including the one next door. I would spend the extra money next Tim for a few more comforts. If you stay here get a room that does not face the freeway which is very close and for light sleepers a nuisance. read more

Wonderful motel! We stayed Christmas night, our room was very clean and even had heated floors in the bathroom. The staff was great and half the price of the Holiday Inn Express next door. read more

They need to get hip with the times and offer FREE WIFI and coffee. There is a huge sign saying wifi- but it's $2.99 and up.

The time that I went it was too much for what it is and we found hair in the drains and it felt like one of those cheapest places that you staying if you're hiding from a murder and the walls are so thin you can hear people doing you know what at night and it smelt like cigarettes it's crap to stay here the shower was very odd. Needless to say I was very uncomfortable staying there but we had no choice everywhere was packed. read more

Stayed with my active 4 year old and we enjoyed our stay. One of the few pools with a salt water pool as well =) which is a huge plus ! Near in and out, pizza and down the road there is a grocery store. read more

My husband and I were stuck in Simi Valley and needed a room for the night. I'd stayed in Motel 6 - Simi Valley before and was satisfied, it was a reasonable price and close to where I had to go. We did call late, about 11pm and they told me because of the late check in, it would not be the usual rate. I wasn't happy, but agreed to the high cost. When we arrived, we were told that all they had was a "smoking" room. I was not happy because this was not mentioned on the phone when I made the reservation. Then the attendant told me that if we wanted a "non smoking" room, it would be more money. I said, "but I thought you only had one room?" They did not answer me, we did not have a choice and had to stay there. The room smelled and there were not enough blankets. It was an awful night. Mostly I didn't like that the person I made the reservation with, did not inform me that it would be a "smoking" room. I only gave 2 stars because the last time I visited, it was satisfactory. read more

There are some tricks I learned. Definitely make sure you ask for the back of the hotel. The front is very loud because of the busy street and the fire station up the street. It's also very smokey and people kind of just hang out. The first night we were there we got a smoking room and it was so bad that it aggravated my bronchitis and my sons eyes were red the next morning. However I asked to be moved and the staff was so nice and moved us. The non smoking room was quiet and nice. It's clean and the pool is clean . The staff was very nice. I would definitely stay again but make sure you ask for non smoking.. Even if you are a smoker ask for a non smoking room and just step outside to smoke read more

I had family out here to visit, and they stayed here. I was very impressed at how clean it was. The pool area was very well maintained as were the grassy areas provided for customers with dogs. They even had "stocked" dog bags and trash bins in the grass areas for the people to clean up after their dogs! Rooms were very clean and well stocked. Definately a good deal if you are looking for a no frills place to rest your head at night! read more

Very disappointed even though you get what you pay for....$100 less but is it worth not having the following in your room: shampoo, blow dryer, coffee, microwave, fridge, closet, comfortable "real" beds or how about towels that don't feel like sandpaper! The noise level facing the freeway was horrible but the kicker was when we thought our cell phone was ringing but it was people in room next door!! Also I have to add that I stupidly left my Kindle Fire on the bed under the pillow but when I called that same evening front desk guy said no one turned one in! After a sleepless night and changing all my passwords, called next morning and miraculously they said they found my Kindle although you can't pick it up until the motel maid comes in @9:30.....hmmmm....and why did she take it home with her? Yeah! Dishonesty within employees isn't acceptable so I will be going next door to Holiday Inn Express next trip read more
