“Worst Motel6”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011

Poorly updated rooms, light fixture non-functional, light fixture falling off wall, property looks derelict. It was July and the pool was closed - actually the pool complex looked like it had been closed for years! For the first time ever my bed was short-sheeted! Pictures of the room on websites have to be staged or are the few rooms that seem to be occupied by family. TV was semi-broken: the tint of the picture was green and there were no controls to adjust.

Room Tip: Skip this Motel 6

2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2011

When staying here this spring , found the room was not clean ......called the office and they sent someone to clean countertop and wash window. After I returned home, I called and talked with manager. His attitude, and the condition of the room, convinced me that I will never stay here again.

“Oh, My...Don't Stay Here.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2011

When I travel I always look for a budget motel. Most are clean and no-frills and suit my needs. I checked into this one at 9:30 PM and found the parking lot to be dimly lit. The room was really bare bones - right down to the linoleum floor (that was sticky to walk on). My computer plug wouldn't stay in the outlet. The bed sagged and the mattress was old and filthy...whoever said this hotel has been renovated in the past 18 months wasn't talking about the beds. My booking WAS for 3 nights, but I only stayed one (primarily because it was late and I was too tired to look for another room in town).
I won't stay here again....

“Inexpensive and clean.”

person found this review helpful

This is a clean,'' no frills" motel and half the price of motels with amenities. The rooms and check-in areas have been renovated within the last 18 months.
We've stayed here several times while working at a Kalamazoo trade show, and found the management to be friendly and helpful.
A couple of years ago we unknowingly left an expensive item in the room. They contacted us to make arrangements to mail the item to us.

“Disappointing, mainly from the atrocious customer service.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2011

I've read the prior reviews, and was even warned off by another hotel service in the area, but I found that there was some effort to renovate the hotel room. It was a garish orange with cold, large-tile floors, barren and stripped down, not exactly in the line of comfort, but it was 'clean'. Definitely no-frills. The flush handle of the commode did not work, so I had to remove the back of the toilet to flush it. The mattress was clean without any signs of infestation, but the sheets were the barest excuse for actual sheets. There was a lot of traffic of people going past my window and door in the night, which was especially troublesome given the few numbers of cars there. The air/heat did work fine and there was no overtly offensive odor to the room. It wasn't stale or laden with tobacco odors. The worst part in the morning was having my door banged on my housekeeping at 10 am. I told them to go away, and they just kept banging and banging. I called the front desk; they said they would handled it and I could have until noon, but the banging kept going and the man was even laughing. In the end the woman at the front counter basically said I was making it up. I'm a long time Motel 6 user, but this one goes down as the worst, even with the attempts to renovate and improve. Motel 6 needs to pull the name off this one. Any pluses? Well, the WiFi was free and moved at about the pace of a 4-6 on a scale of 10.
