Motel 6 Los Angeles - El Monte

We needed an animal friendly solution during our sudden evacuation from the first night of the Eaton Fire and this hotel was inexpensive and allowed large dogs. We originally thought we would have 2 older adults with mobility issues with us and had booked 3 rooms as a contingency plan as the fires got closer. Once the winds picked up and the evacuation orders came out we were able to find a safe and more comfortable solution for the other 2 folks in our party and their small dog. The two women who checked us in at the front desk understood our situation and contacted their manager after 11pm when we checked in to refund the other two rooms for us due to the circumstances, which was very kind of them. The staff was compassionate and understood we were in a crisis, which is more than I can say for the place we tried to move to the next day due to wanting what we thought would be a more comfortable room for us (the stairs were difficult for us and our dog with all our gear and we didn't want to leave all our valuables in the car as this Motel 6 is not in the nicest of areas). See my review of the inhumane and devoid of compassion treatment we received at what we would thought would be an upgraded experience at the Days Inn by Wyndham West Covina. If you need a clean place for a night, this Motel 6 works.

This motel by far is the best on every level in the L.A area. Clean, vending machines working, quiet. They have a grass pet area with a bench and staff is excellent. They dont bang on your door at check out like most others in the L.A area...5 stars for me and im picky.

Stay here off and on. All the staff is wonderful. The price is good and the rooms are clean. Housekeeping and maintenance are on point. And the girls in the office are beyond wonderful. Always smiling and welcoming. One of the better Motel 6 in the area.
