When checking in around 5 pm, the gentleman working the counter was quite rude and unpleasant to deal with. Upon checking into the room, it was clean and quiet, however the floorboard in the bathroom was squishy as if there was water underneath it and it was peeling up from the wall. The following day we extended our stay and the young man helping us around 7 am was very helpful and so friendly! The premises were clean and quiet. I do recommend staying here.

We needed a place to stay while our house needs some major work that is hard for us to stay. So it was not for business or vacation. I was a little worried about the mixed reviews, but the room was clean and spacious (especially with bathroom) with a a fridge and microwave. Big iron board and iron but no hair dryer (which is fine, I always bring mine). It was quiet for 3 nights we stayed over Labor Day weekend (Sat-Tue) . It is a budget accommodation so for the price, I thought it is a great deal provided that our dog can stay free and free on-site parking. No frills (but again, this is a budget accommodation), soap and towels are provided but no shampoo/conditioner, which was fine with me as I would like to use mine any way. Wifi worked fine, AC worked fine too. So if you stay, I would recommend to bring shampoo/conditioner. I did not use an outdoor pool but there was a good size outdoor pool for a hot day.

Safe and quiet location. Extremely friendly staff! Rooms are clean and everything works. Toilets (non-ADA room) are very low to the ground and have small round bowls. We travel with our Roku device to have all our tv viewing available, but the TV is mounted in such a way that you cannot access an HDMI port. This was the only negative. We will stay here again and look forward to it.

This location is so pretty. There’s lush green grass for the pet owners to utilize. The staff is great, the young men at the front desk are accommodating and helpful. The property is well manicured and clean. The other people staying are kind. No problems. The room I chose is a bit smaller than expected and there wasn’t enough counter space and no mini fridge, and no big comfy chair. However they are clean and affordable. And the pool is very clean! Thanks

Located next to Santa Anita park there’s good food and a mall walking distance plus good entertainment like watching horses race, botanical gardens etc. Expect traffic in this area, public transportation is very easy it’s located next to the train. This area has peacocks roaming around freely so lovely to watch. The pool and rooms are very clean and love that motel 6 is pet friendly! Great experience for our staycation!

So far, this is my first Nike I’m here till Sunday. There’s a little leaky water running in the tub. I made them aware of it. I’m gonna give them a chance to fix that other than that. It’s a beautiful location right across the street from Santa Anita racetrack if you’d like to play the horses and wanna come and get in early, I suggest this locationprice very reasonable and good customer service

Lmao at the guy in the reviews trying to squeeze 2 free nights for flipping his negative review. Nobody owes you anything, you can pay for your keycard like the rest of us. This hotel is great. I've been staying here off and on since 2011. It's a Motel 6, so expect a very Spartan experience. It's nearly always clean, the service is top notch, and the rates are usually the cheapest in the area. Location is right in the center of Arcadia, parking is plentiful, and the hotel is dog friendly. If you want luxury, the Meridian is just up the street, and the prices reflect the difference. If you just need a clean, basic, safe place to sleep in Arcadia, Motel 6 is your best bet.
