Motel 6-Coalinga, CA - East

We just needed a place to rest our heads for the night before continuing our journey the next day. First I want to note Ashleigh, the receptionist, was totally sweet. I called to see what their vacancy was if I just showed up in a few hours that night. She said she could just take my name and reserve me a room without taking my credit card. When I got there there was an irate lady in front of me. She was upset that she had to wait till the receptionist was back from her break. Ashleigh was very professional with her. I asked Ashleigh for a quiet room and we didn't hear anyone till the next morning....ahhhhh. The room, 254, was basic. The bed was surprisingly comfortable. The shower was heavenly with plenty of pressure and hot water. Don't expect amenities since this is a budget hotel. The pool was out of commission. They had free coffee in the lobby, an ice machine and microwave in the vending machine room next to the lobby. Yes, Coalinga is in cattle country and you smell it outside when the wind is blowing your way. If you keep the air on in the room, there is no smell. The area isn't sketchy. It has two closed restaurants across the street but other than that, it looks fine. It's an area off a major highway that you can safely stay overnight and get gas. Harris Ranch Restaurant and Denny's are nearby. For just an inexpensive place to stop overnight, it fit the bill.

This place has a good value. I-5 is like a 30s away. Also, the staff is very responsive and friendly. The place is clean.

great location, close to EV chargers. friendly staff, comfortable bed, clean room
