Motel 6 Lomita, CA

DISLIKES - walls are thin. Internet is slow. LIKES - super clean room. Owner of motel appeared always on site adding a sense of security. Parking lot felt super safe even at night because of lighting and spaciousness. Target store across the street. Supermarkets and AMC theater two blocks away. Supercool Lego store (Bricks & Minifigs) across the street.

It was a nice stay overall, comfy, no real issues, but they definitely need to do some maintenance. We stayed in room 103 & it needs some love. The AC unit falls open, you have to hip the door in order to secure the deadbolt, the mattress topper LOVES to slide off just with you getting into the bed, the toilet paper holder isn't secure so the roll falls off to the floor when using, & if you close the bathroom door - good luck getting it back open again, it sticks BADLY. Obviously, it's a motel, so you get what you get, but still... Maintenance would be nice.

The place is cute and the rooms are big, but they are NOT honest and it is not clean. We arrived with a reservation for a week and a half for $1115., including tax. They took our credit cards and charged us $1,331. When I gave them the reservation number and complained, they said the price had gone up because they were busy. I threatened to call the main number. That night, they charged an additional $68 to my account WITHOUT MY PERMISSION AND WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME. I complained again, and they said that they would reverse it, but they never did. I called the main Motel 6, and they said there was nothing they could do because it is a franchise. I am disputing the charges with my bank. As soon as I get home, I’m going to cancel my card. I may file fraud charges. We have been here 6 days and they haven’t given us fresh towels or emptied our trash. They said they would clean every three days. They also had trash strewn all over the ground by the dumpster for 4 days before they picked it up. Stay here at your own risk!!
