Motel 6 where they didn't leave the light on

Was asked for 30 $ to check in Early an I never was asked for money to check in at any motel ever especially when they had rooms available... I didn't get on the top floor as requested I was put on a bottom floor where the window didn't lock so very un safe for a woman 👠 staying alone

Just Ok

The property was close to downtown and a quick Uber ride to everywhere. The rooms and towels were clean. Parking was available as well. The carpets in the common areas needed cleaning and replacement. The property just lacked a cleaning crew in general. Construction was going on, and there was a lot of traffic noise, including sirens.

Better than sleeping in your car

Would only stay here again in an emergency. Front desk people were friendly, professional, responsive. Room was heartbreakingly gloomy. Furniture worn and broken. Mattress and seat to built in chair were not secured, both kept sliding off their platforms, making them both unsafe to sit on. Towels were so worn they felt like paper. Cigarette smells from other rooms came through the bathroom vent. Ventilation/airflow so poor we had to run the AC 24/7, and HVAC so bad it only blew ice cold or desert hot. Parking lot had an extremely tight driving lane.

4/10 Fair

The front desk was slow. Parking was a surprise fee, I could of stayed somewhere cleaner with free parking and assigned parking was a joke. Ice machine didn't work. Carpets and walls were filthy. The bathroom was not wiped down as you could still see previous person's urine stains on the seat. I'm not a person that complains as I know the front desk people need their job and already had to deal with other unhappy customers, but I didn't think going for the deal online meant staying in such a poor quality place. I don't remember motel 6 being like this before. Thank you and I hope this helps somehow or maybe it'll get disregarded like the conditions, because this didn't happen overnight. It's been a problem.

Won't stay there again.

Carpet in hallway was filthy. Not enough towels. We asked for more and they only gave us 1more towel. We had only 1 washcloth between us. Bed was really uncomfortable. Gardeners work us up at 9am.
