Motel 6 Temecula, CA - Historic Old Town

8/10 Good
"Good basic accommodations. Pretty bare-bones, but room was clean, staff was friendly, bed was comfortable. Stayed Sat/Sun night and it was quiet even though the interstate is pretty close by. No fridge or microwave, unfortunately. No shampoo, either. Like I said, real basic. Lots of free parking and the spots are on the larger side. Entry door felt pretty secure and the property and neighborhood felt safe. I did not see any questionable folks hanging around the area. The biggest pluses are the close proximity to Old Town Temecula, just a few blocks away, and the bargain price compared to other properties. The only complaints I have are that the sink faucet was VERY low flow and the ice maker usually ran out of ice (likely from people filling up coolers). I would gladly stay here again for a couple of days (not longer) myself, but my wife would probably prefer something a bit nicer."
