Motel 6 Lost Hills /Buttonwillow Racetrack, Lost Hills

Good

Not recommended!

Liked: The only good thing in this place was the kindness of the lady at the reception, who voluntarily offered that we check other rooms to find one that is good enough, after seeing the first room they offered.
Disliked: If it wasn't the middle of night and we had been driving for hours, we would have tried to get a room somewhere else even though we had reservations and had already paid. We looked at 3 rooms before finding one good enough to sleep in. The management needs to revamp this place (some paint and new sheets can go a long way). Bathroom was so moldy and worn out that it was too disgusting to shower. The last room we ended in, since it was the best we saw, did not have mold but smelled of cigarettes (a compromise we were willing to make), had stained/dirty beddings, & we had to reset the power of the AC in the middle of the night since it suddenly started giving hot air, but it worked out in the end. Bad experience overall, we couldn't wait to get out of there in the morning. I stayed in other Motel 6s before, this one is incomparable.

The room was what I...

Liked: The front desk lady was very nice.
Disliked: There?s a musty smell and a consistent short buzzing sound every 30 seconds.

I? Stayed in much better...

Liked: Location
Disliked: Bathroom floor and shower needed cleaning. Strange hair found on sheet

Cheap hotel, clean and easy...

Liked: Check in was easy and fast. The room was clean. AC worked.
Disliked: Pool was locked. Room reeked of cigarette smoke, even though it was labeled non-smoking.

Clean, comfortable and convenient. No...

Liked: I liked that the rooms had been updated in terms of flooring, bed coverings and fixtures. The towels were decent and everything was clean.
Disliked: The usual: Wifi strength. But, I recognize this is extra. It would have been helpful to have a little more instruction about how the air conditioning worked. For example, to suggest that guests give it a certain amount of time to regulate the interior temperature. Right now, the cold air blasts out so close to one of the beds that we thought it would be like that the entire time we were in the room, so we were constantly turning it on, then turning it off. Finally, I tried keeping it on for a period of time at the desired temperature, despite the blasting-air situation. It finally modulated, but it would have been helpful to know that. We did not have the breakfast because we didn't know there was a breakfast. The staff member who checked us in did not mention it.
