Motel 6

I don’t often criticize establishments. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. However, I convinced my friend to stay at Motel 6 with me because it was half the price of Day’s Inn. However, the heat didn’t work until the manager hit it with a broom. Also, the floor had popcorn and dirt all over it. One roach was walking on the ceiling (I’ve videotaped it). And the next morning, my friend was screaming because she saw a hoard of roaches behind the bathroom shelf! No, my friend will never stay at a motel 6, again!

This is ok for a one night stay. The room’s been updated but it was tight with two full beds, a micro fridge, two chairs and a small half-​moon shaped table. It was cramped. The AC worked great though.

For the price ($ 67) this place was perfect. It was clean and the furniture was all in good condition. The TV was nice and WiFi was fairly strong. The staff was helpful and attentive. The shower was hot and the fridge worked great.
My only complaints were that the WiFi was not encrypted and that the location of the motel is not great; but again considering the price and the state of Carlsbad in general I don’t think these should detract from the rating.

Finally! Actual high speed internet that works well! Been traveling around the country the last few weeks and decent connectivity has been a major issue. Was finally able to upload my pics/​files on Dropbox and stream Netflix. To me, this is reason enough to stay here.
The room is tiny & cramped but doesn’t really bother me. A/​C is really cold. Room is modern with flat screen tv with various inputs, mini fridge, and looks fairly newly decorated. Front desk attendant was helpful and courteous. Looks like they have a lot of security measures in place with cameras everywhere. I also appreciate the 12 check out time.
No free breakfast, but with the $ I saved going here as opposed to other local hotels I could easily get Denny’s. I paid $ 75 and other hotels were highly price gouged ($ 120+) since we are near the Carlsbad caverns. Only real cons are the area is pretty sketchy with shady people hanging around outside at night and housekeeping was knocking on the door at 8:30am since there’s no «do not disturb» placard.

Comfortable bed and basic room. Door had visible gaps. Container that holds towels were dusty and need cleaning. Overall stay was ok for a one night stay.
Main complaint was the staff. Front office staff were not helpful to provide local information. Also were not friendly. Housekeeping staff constantly asked me when I plan to leave the room. Check out time is Noon and I was asked at 830am and again at 945am by two different people.

Cramped room. Attempt at upgrading cheap and not well done. No fitted sheet on bed, and mattress cover didn’t fit, so bunched up in a lump after being in bed for a little while. Air conditioner noisy. No complimentary shampoo and no hairdryer. Yet we still paid $ 87. Not worth what we paid. Would not stay there again and definitely would not recommend it.

This was not a good Motel 6 experience. The room has been updated but you cannot just put lipstick on a pig and make it look good. The remodel trash was piled up on the sidewalks making you feel like you are staying in a trash pile. The room was small and filthy. The bathroom had dirt accumulation in all the corners with black filth on the floor near the edges if the bathtub. The shower head was pulled from the wall and looked like it would come apart every time one adjusted the water temperature. Normally this could be expected when staying in a much cheaper room. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more and stay somewhere else.

Decent room for the price. Loaded with all sized clean towels when we checked in. Clean room & Bed. TV, microwave, AC, fridge in room. Free wifi, decent speed.
Cons: should have included a breakfast, pool closed (it’s winter so doesn’t matter)
We booked 3 king bed rooms for 198 + 12% tax.(66 /​room for 1 night + tax)

Bad experience. People next door fighting in the middle of the night. yelling. Smoking in room and management said cant do anything til morning. It wasn’t even 10pm yet. Asked about veterans discount. She said, only if you recently were out. Really!!! Too many other options. pick something else. I do not recommend.

Motel 6 is the McDonald’s of hotels. It’s basic, they’re all the same, things are made of plastic so they can be hosed down easily, etc.
This Motel 6 is okay, if a bit dreary. Props for having a microwave and small fridge in the room, lots of higher end hotels don’t even have a minifridge anymore. Room was completely clean, bed was comfortable which is what you want in a hotel room.
Downsides were the flooring which was a cheap plastic linoleum which made what is a discount room feel even more cheap, and strange lighting over the beds which looks like a hospital.

Not the greatest motel 6 experience ever. Rooms have some modern touches, but has an old underlying feel. Soundproofing is non existent, and you will hear other peoples’ comings and goings.
It was almost clean, but the condition of the bathtub made us seriously consider not showering during our stay.
Check
before you book to see if the go karts will be open during your stay.
Front desk staff was friendly, but housekeeping was a little creepy. We heard them cleaning as early as 7 am, and as soon as we left our room at about 9 we saw them watching us and they made a beeline straight for our room and go in with us still looking up from the parking lot. Without any cleAning supplies. Hmmm. I was glad I didn’t leave much in the room.
Decent rate and on the end of town closest to the caverns, but we were left wishing we had spent a little more for someplace a little nicer.

The nice thing about this Motel 6 is that the rooms are newly decorated. There is a bamboo-​like floor and bright accessories. It was a pleasant surprise. The room itself was quite small, the two beds BARELY left room for the A/​C and a shared nightstand. I was unhappy with the fact that the A/​C unit made a horrible racket when on any setting other than full-​blast. I love full-​blast for awhile but the setting was so strong that it wasn’t feasible to sleep all night with. Other comments: The sheets seemed dingy and the windows didn’t open.
Is this review ridiculous? I don’t know but I need a fully-​functional A/​C in the middle of summer and it’s enough in my mind to warrant 2 stars.

Meh. So-​so.
Worked fine for an overnight stay before heading off to Carlsbad Caverns.
Good free Wifi.

Clean rooms, micro and fridge, wifi, new towels and room cleaned daily.
Newly renovated… Nice rooms.
Most of the ppl staying here looked a little rough and two nights there were bottles broken outside.
not sure if I’d stay here again.

This was a good place to stay in if you are visiting Carlsbad Caverns. At first I was a bit concerned that it was too far away from there but it was actually closer than I thought. The room has been upgraded and looks pretty modern. It was comfortable and clean. It was a good choice for one of our stops on our nationwide roadtrip. There isn’t much else in the area around the motel and I felt like the area was a bit sketchy.

Well I had low expectations .FYI for visitors going to Carlsbad caverns Book you room early! When I stayed here the hotel had not vacancies because of all the road work that is happening in town. So I was lucky to have a room. But with all the workers staying in the hotel. They were crack deals going on in a room a couple of doors downs. Scary. Then my bed had some stain that looked like blood. Good news No bed bugs. So one step above camping!

This is a decent choice if you’re just looking for a place to crash while in the Carlsbad area. The room was smallish, but it was clean and came with a microwave/​mini-​fridge, perfect for chilling those post-​Caverns refreshments. Free wi-​fi is always nice. I liked the salt water pool, but its proximity to the windy highway made it a bit chilly. It’s a short drive from both the Caverns and the restaurants/​shops of Carlsbad. Bonus: go-​karts, batting cages, and mini golf right next door!

Decent for what you need while road tripping… bed, ac, hot shower, and clean. I’ll admit it wasn’t the nicest of places, the bathroom looked like it was stained. But for only $ 50 a night what else would you expect. The manager was nice enough and let us park our moving truck in front. The only thing that was really irritating was the 50+ kids staying there because of a softball tournament.

Stayed here for $ 49/​night with a small dog. Basic cheap motel. Smallish rooms but acceptable. Next door to a fun center with go-​karts and mini-​golf which was fun. No breakfast but several options nearby.

PRO
clean and decent room with queen size bed and bathroom was old but atleast clean. have a mini-​fridge and microwave in the room… AC/​heater works great… Only about 15min away from the Carlsbad Caverns, and close to shops and gas stations… cheapest around the area… free coffee and free internet in lobby
CON
no shampoo, conditioner, Bible was missing (not a big deal), no free breakfast
would staty here again~!!
