The Spotlight on Motel 6-San Diego CA - North

Affordable Comfort Near San Diego’s Music Scene

Modern and fuss-free, Motel 6-San Diego CA - North offers a clean, convenient base on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard. With a minimalist style and wallet-friendly rates, this motel is just a short drive from San Diego’s major entertainment venues and attractions like SeaWorld, Qualcomm Stadium, and the University of California San Diego.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’ll love the easy access to venues—most are just 10–15 minutes away by car. The 24-hour front desk means late check-ins after an encore are no issue, and the peaceful residential location offers a good night’s sleep after a high-energy show. While there’s no public transit hub right outside, ride-shares are easy to grab in this area.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to stay together on a budget
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime show
  • Couples planning a low-key weekend music getaway
  • Fans who value a quiet place to recharge post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prioritize location and price

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, snack and drink vending machines are available 24/7 for post-show cravings. The neighborhood has several casual eateries within a short drive or rideshare. If you're heading out late, plan ahead, as late-night dining options are limited nearby.

Nightlife Options

This motel is more about rest than revelry, but you're never far from the action. A quick car ride takes you to local bars, lounges, and live music spots in downtown San Diego or the Gaslamp Quarter. Ideal for those who want to sleep, not party, after the encore.

What People Say

Guests often praise the motel’s clean rooms and efficient check-in process. Many reviews highlight the affordable pricing and easy freeway access as major perks for short stays centered around events or concerts. It’s not fancy, but it gets the job done.

Areas for Improvement

It’s a no-frills stay—no breakfast, no pool, and no luxury touches. Rooms are basic, and some guests mention occasional street noise or dated furnishings. But if you’re here for the music and need a place to crash, it’s a solid pick.

The Bottom Line

Motel 6-San Diego CA - North is a smart choice for concert-goers looking for a budget-friendly, no-hassle stay close to the city’s top venues.

Worst m/hotel I've ever stay...

Liked: It was a room with a bed. There wasn't anything that I liked about this room. See the what didn't I like question and you will get an eye full there. The fridge worked. Ok.. that was ok.
Disliked: This is the worst motel/hotel I've ever stayed in. Just looking at the clientele in the parking lot, drug addicts, homeless, It was not appealing. I had to stay there because it was prepaid. Entering the room, the counter was disgusting dirty and I had to have housekeeping return. The bathtub, maybe it was "clean" but it sure didn't look clean, It looked like paint chips were coming off. The doorway to the bathroom, at the bottom was rotted out. The sink, it wasn't even bolted in. I turned on the water and the faucet was lifting up. The bed, I've slept on box springs more comfortable than that. The motel was a means to an end. It also taught me to spend a little more and stay in at least a 3.5 moving forward. I'd have done better pitching a tent in a camp sight. Oh and around 9:30 as I was drifting off to sleep, someone knocked on my door. In the morning when I returned my key to the front desk, I asked about it and it was a staff member who knocked on my door but wouldn't say why, gave me some double talk. I just wanted to leave ..the place grossed me out. I used the bathroom that the housekeepers use and OMG it should be condemned. It was so dirty (I had to go and they wouldn't let me in my room yet)- it was just dirty dirty dirty... I mean there was sh*t stuck inside the bowl. Oh and to flush it? I had to pull the chain in the tank. Seriously? Definitely won't ever stay there again! Someone has a distorted view of keeping a nice place. This place was not nice! The ac didn't get cold enough, either. 2 small / tiny travel pillows, that was a joke. The phone didn't have a directory.

Exceptional Model 6 in San...

Liked: The staff was great! We needed an early check in due to extenuating circumstances and they were able to accommodate the request which saved the day. Everything was clean and smelled good. No complaints. Would book here again.
Disliked: Entrance to the parking lot was a little scary with its proximity to cars exiting the freeway.
