Motel 6 Fort Bragg, CA

The beds were clean and comfortable, and the double beds were a good size. I was glad to find a private small room, even though it had no heater, since I like to sleep cool. The fridge was a good size and there was a microwave. Staff were great and friendly, and the location is good. But the room had a lot of problems: humidity built up badly, the old single pane windows collected condensation, and there was no bathroom exhaust fan. The noisy window heater/AC didn't reach the bathroom or the small second bedroom in back. There was no shampoo or shelf for soap in the shower, and the light switches weren't near the doors or walls, just on the bed frame lamps. No closet, just hanging space and no hangers until I asked. Noise is a matter of luck at motels, and it stayed noisy until 2 a.m., which is normal. I'd give it four stars if the bathroom had a fan.

For $60 a night, it was a decent roof over our heads, and the friendly staff checked us in smoothly. I'd booked about a month ahead for the weekend. The room was clean and the Wi-Fi worked like everything else. If you're saving money and don't need anything fancy, this is a good place to stay in Fort Bragg.

The place was clean inside and out, and quiet, which isn't always what you get at this price. I've stayed here twice now, and for a typical Motel 6, it goes well beyond standard. The rooms are nicely renovated, so it doesn't feel like a Motel 6. Julie at the front desk was so sweet and helpful with local suggestions, and even walked me through using DoorDash for the first time. Thanks for another lovely stay.

We got a dinner tip from the woman at the front desk, who was easy to talk to and very nice. The pizza place across the road was a great choice after we settled in. The room was clean and the shower pressure was good, but the mattresses were uncomfortable, with springs digging into our backs. There also seemed to be some questionable characters hanging around the motel.
