Though the motel is not pet-friendly, accessibility features are available, accommodating guests with specific needs.

Beautiful Motel with warm welcoming staff. Rooms are very spacious with all the amenities and the comfort level was also very good. Next time i will definetely prefer this motel for sure. Thanks, keep up the good job.
Love this place for a short or a long stay. They are the friendliest people I've met in a long time. It's always quiet and very clean. They don't have a restaurant but no need because there's a restaurant directly across the street and too many mention all around including a nice pub to have a drink watch a game and eat right next to them on the corner. Would definitely recommend the Tustin motor lodge for a short or long stay.
Great bed, great shower with super hot water! Not much parking near the rooms, but the nearby area has plenty of shopping near Old Town Tustin. Now the bad: no carpeting in rooms and I walked around barefoot and the bottom of my feet were BLACK! Room probably had NEVER been mop! Temperatures were in the 90s and the ice machine was broken! Here's a hint--- go get it fixed! No ice for our 3-day stay! Lastly, and of most importance, the TV channels all had 3 digits on cable, but the remote has only up and down keys! So if you wanted to watch a show on channel 30-3 but you were presently watching one on 76-5, it took forever to click to it. Furthermore, there was no posted channel indicator for the different stations. It took us a day to write the number/channel down. C'mon it shouldn't be so hard! Final positive, they didn't take any deposit on our stay!
Motel 6: It's almost always a good place to get some peaceful rest at a budget price. This venue does just that. Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. Always pet friendly, too!
No longer the motor lodge its now motel 6 and newly remodeled rooms are really nice and up to date. Every room has a fridge and microwave. Also the staff is super nice and way laid back. I would recommend it to anyone! And its right in the old town of tustin
The rooms are pretty decent and decent location but the prices keep going up. Recently remodeled and they actually have a smoke detector not like other motels I’ve stayed in.
Great Parking Rooms clean Roomy even a touch of a Mother In Law House feel to it. Not Bad ! Front Desk The Man In the window was refreshingly moody. Lol loved it .. Middle Eastern folks are like an owemenl
Room was very clean and has good light it not dark or groomy at all. Felt very safe there to stay with my mom . close to john wayne airport.
Amid casual eateries off I-5, this no-nonsense hotel in a low-rise building is a mile from the Santa Ana Zoo, 2 miles from the Marconi Automotive Museum and 5 miles from John Wayne Airport.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in California. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
