“Clean and safe cheap hotel, 2nd floor room”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I was recently visiting Niagara Falls solo, and I was glad that I found this place. I was skeptical at first, as I am with any lower priced hotel, but I would stay here again. The bottom line: it was clean and safe.

The checking in process was a little bit rocky, as the first room they wanted to give me had an issue with the key not working, so they just gave me the room next to it. The hallway carpets were a little bit dirty, but the hotel room itself was very clean and smelled clean as well (which is all that mattered to me). The room lock worked great. I specifically asked for a room on the second floor, so it was very quiet. I can't speak for the ground floor. My guess is that it might have been a little noisy (but I don't know). Another reason that I asked for a second floor room was because the rooms on the ground level all had these glass sliding doors opening to the parking lot. Especially with my staying alone, I would not have felt comfortable with that. So anyway, I was happy with my room.

There was ample space in the room and included a small tv. I stayed in a room with a queen sized bed, it was pretty comfortable for a hotel bed. The linens and bathroom were clean. The pictures online of the room were true to what I experienced.

Now, for the one problem I experienced. I had called ahead when I was making my plans to make sure they had wi-fi. I was told that wi-fi was availble for 3 bucks a day - okay, fine, cheap room, no problem. When I got there the machine/system that generated a code for wi-fi access was "broken" and I was unable to get access. I was pretty pissed, because I had planned on ironing out the final details of my trip the first night. The next day when I got back from sightseeing they said that the internet was up, so I bought a code, only to find that the internet was so unbearable slow that the whole point was moot. So I got my money back, and as far as I know, the issue was never resolved. I told the employees about it, as well as told the online quality survey that I was sent after checking out - so maybe in the future they will fix this problem.

Other than the internet issue and the small check in bump, I was happy with my room. Also I wanted to add that the employees were very polite and tried to be as helpful as they possibly could be. I understand that their hands might have been tied with things like the internet issue, and they continuous kept their calm. Every time I was in the lobby, I was overhearing customers telling the employees about complaints, so I was impressed that they not only kept their cool, but also managed to maintain courtesy.

Room Tip: Quieter on the second floor.

“They have dogs living there”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

people found this review helpful

DISCUSSING HOTEL!!! We had stayed here perviously and really enjoyed it. But this past weekend when we went it was horrible. The staff were rude, it smelt horrible and was not clean. The smell on the first floor in the hallway by our room smelt like wet dog and was so bad that we were gagging. After complaining in the room loud enough the house keeper could here us she told us that the owner keeps his two dogs in the end room. After going around front of the building we noticed that that room(room 102) had a sliding door and we could see the dogs inside. The room had the carpet ripped out and all furniture removed and the dogs had been left there so long that they had pooped and peed all over the floor (hense the horrible smell). There was even urine leaking under the door onto the carpet in the motel hallway.

Room Tip: Room 102 is the room with the dogs and the two rooms beside that is where we believe the owner lives...

“no problem”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

i'm not sure what folks expect for this price, but our room was clean, quiet, and the staff were very nice to us -- the carpet in the hallway was stained, so what?! -- all we care about is the room, and that was excellent. to the staff, thanks, and we plan on using your motel for all our flights to/from buffalo.

“One of the nicest”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011

This is by far one of the nicer Motel 6 that I have stayed in. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure strong in the shower. The place was clean.

Room Tip: A Motel 6 does not provide shampoo and the like, but for the price, I can bring my own.
