When on road trips with my two dogs, I often stay at Motel 6 because of their pet policy. When I got tired after 14 hours of driving and realized I didn't want to go to Salt Lake that night, I stopped at the Motel 6 in Nephi. The person at the desk was very pleasant, although he did charge an extra $5 per pet, which is not typical of any other Motel 6 I've stayed in. I didn't want to argue and it was only a total of $10, so I didn't say anything.
However, when I got to my room I was met with the worst odor ever! The room smelled so bad that I couldn't stand in there for even two minutes. It smelled like a dirty diaper mixed with a dead animal. I ran back to the front desk and asked for the room to be changed. When the desk person smelled the room he agreed that it was awful and changed my room, but that room also smelled unpleasant. It wasn't as bad as the room they initially gave me so I decided to just deal with it. I was told later by the hotel staff that something had died in the air conditioner. The whole hallway smelled terrible. Also, when I was taken to my new room, it wasn't clean yet and I had to wait for the housekeepers to clean it. This was at 5 p.m., and checkout is at 11 a.m!
Besides all that, I noticed that the ice machine didn't work, the bathroom was dirty, and it only came with one soap bar and one towel. I've been to plenty of Motel 6 locations where the rooms were clean, the bathroom had a few soaps as well as shampoo and lotion, and had plenty of towels. Overall I was really grossed out by the whole experience. That horrible smell stayed in my nose the entire next day. The desk person was pleasant, but it is really obvious that this Motel 6 location is struggling. I would avoid it unless you have no other choice.
