Motel 6 Thousand Oaks, CA
Clean room and very kind staff. Unfortunately the vending machine and ice maker was broken during my visit but there's a restaurant a block away where I was able to get a cup of ice and a soda. Shout out to the receptionist who helped distract another guest who was roughed up and potentially intoxicated ...
