I entered the motel thinking it would be a rough stay but I was wrong. The guest service was excellent and they were helpful at all times. The room I stayed in (243) was in great condition with no smell and I could walk around in my bare feet!! After a quiet night, check out was fast and I was... More

I stayed over labor day weekend and had a great experiance. The staff was friendly and even called my room after I got into it to check on me. They even reccomended some rentals for my grandson that is going to the university and needs a place. I've been here in the past and it is much better than it... More

This is a standard Motel 6 - small rooms, and relatively clean. We had two connecting rooms, non-smoking, EXCEPT the bathroom in our room REEKED of cigarette smoke. I went through the connecting door and used the other bathroom when I could. We put no luggage or clothes in the bathroom, for fear of absorbing the smell. When told, the... More

This is a nice place, the weed smell is a given, you're in HUMBOLDT COUNTY people, what would one expect otherwise. Didn't notice any prostitution going on, nor had my door knocked on at any time. The staff are very friendly people, and greet you when you come in the door. I'm going to using this place every week when... More

The worst Motel6! I don't know why Motel6 chain store people from headuarter and their famous commercial poster boy Ken Burn do not take notice of this one of a kind notorious Motel6. I stay here once a month on my trip to Humboldt, but may be not any more, if U must stay at Motel6, you may instead choose... More

This is the worst Motel 6 EVER !! We checked out a Wi-Fi room 1st and it smelled terrible, so we took a room that had no Wi-Fi. That room was terrible too, smelled bad and was dirty gross, worst of the worst. There were bums hanging around the parking lot. it was like skid row ! It's skanky and... More

The room was okay, but there were some suspicious red stains in the bathroom. Rather expensive for a Motel 6.

This was the worst motel on our three week trip along the West Coast. Somehow it felt shabby. I think they were homeless people in the back, I saw them walking over the parking lot. Small room, no fridge. Ugly comforter. Laundry machine washed so poorly, the laundry came out as it got in. Dirty. "Please dont" signs everywhere. Sorry,... More
