“Not at all bad”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 April 2011

Considering that this motel was only $40 and garnered such bad reviews here, I was expecting the worst. I was going to stay at the Candlewood just a few feet away but they required a credit card on hold and I don't give out my credit card number if I am purchasing something in cash. So I bit the bullet and went to the Motel 6.

Yes, the motel is run down with giant potholes, crumbling sidewalks and peeling paint. Yes, the doorknob came off in my hand, the carpet hadn't been vacuumed in the corners and I left my socks on the entire time as a precaution. I'm sure the comforter was old, but don't we all just whip that thing off and throw it in the corner anyway?

The bathroom was spotless, the sheets & towels were clean and the mattress must have been new because it was level and springy. My room was missing the tv remote and the man at the frontdesk was friendly as he found me a replacement.
The cleaning lady I ran into the next morning was incredibly polite and the receptionist was very cheery when I turned in my keycard.
The motel was quiet, the staff was friendly & helpful, and the sheets/bed/bathroom was clean. For $40 in a major metropolitan area, I couldn't have asked for more and I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in town.

“Eww! Should have slept in the car!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2009

The room was unclean. There were cob webs everywhere, along with a spider, and an earwig or two... The bedding was unclean, there was a yellow stain on the sheets. The carpet was dirty (white stains near the bed and red stains, which looked like blood, near the bathroom door). Two of the lights in the room were burned out. The only chair in the room had rips in the fabric. I would never stay at this motel again, I would rather sleep in the car!

“Stay away”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2009

I would never go back again. The room smelled,and was not clean. It was a non-smoking room and the sheets and comforters had cigarette burn holes in them.
The toilet seat also had cigarette burns in it.The tv was a 19 inch if we were lucky.
The room was not clean,and we wore our shoes the whole time. If It had not been late at
night, and we only needed a place to sleep for a few hrs I would have left. We debated sleeping in the van. They would not let us look at a room before we rented, which should have been the warning sign. The only people who should rent these rooms would be
if you were coming back from a concert, and wanted just a place to sleep for a few hrs, even then your car would be cleaner.

“deadbolt didn't work, room smells weird, woke up with rash on arm”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2009

I stayed here one other time, last year. It was ok enough- I don't expect much from a motel 6. This year was different. The fact that I woke up with a rash on my arm scared me, and fortunately it doesn't look like it's from bed bugs. There is no way to say conclusively that I got this from a reaction to the bedding. But I could see someone sleeping on top of the comforter with poison ivy on their clothing, and the hotel staff just not re-laundering the comforter. Probably some policy decision by management to reduce cost. Who knows. Also the water pressure in the shower is insanely high, and there doesn't seem to be a way to reduce this. It was like showering with a fire hose. The only good thing about this place was that it was low noise, and the persons working at the desk were very friendly.

“A YUCKY experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 March 2004
3
people found this review helpful

We were very displeased with our room. It was very unclean. We found something red, (blood or ketchup) on the bed board and the phone and in the bathroom. YUCK. The room had a terrible odor. We did not trust the bedding to be clean so we slept on our own bedding, Thankfully we had it with us in our travels. The bathroom door would not latch shut. Sad to say we were not pleased with our stay and felt we needed a good shower when we got out of there.
