Motel 6

About the only thing good about my stay at this motel was I was able to check out as planned.
It all started on my way to the motel. It’s difficult to find, even with a Garmin. I called, talked to Maurice. He was difficult to understand, mumbled, and sounded unsure of himself. Finally found the motel. Checked in, again, Maurice mumbles, is difficult to understand. I’m an air traffic controller, so I know how important it is to speak clearly and distinctly to avoid confusion. After checking in, on the way to the elevator, I noticed how just plain dirty the carpeting was. It appeared the motel and elevator had not been vacuumed all weekend.
Upon reaching the room, there was NO toilet paper. HUH??? What the heck was housekeeping doing this weekend??? Did anyone even check this room to ensure it was well stocked??? My guess is no. Called to Maurice… explained there was no toilet paper. He explained that I would have to come down to the lobby to get a roll. as he was the only staff member working. HUH??? I have to go to the lobby to get toilet paper??? I thought about asking him if I shouldn’t take a arm full of toilet paper, and knock on doors to se if anyone else needed any. So I asked Maurice if it wouldn’t be possible to be «comped» with «free» WiFi for the inconvenience… I received the 12 mile stare. I again asked if it would be possible to be «comped» WiFi… he offered to switch rooms, if this room did not meet my expectations. A little late for that now… I’m already in the lobby. I told him the room was ok… it was just the fact that I had to come get a basic room item, when I should not have been asked to do. All he could do is ask, «What do you want me to do about it. I’m the only one here»? I told him again… comp the WIFi … He said he couldn’t, and responded with «What do you want me to do?»… again. I was in a loop, going nowhere. Although it’s possible he doesn’t have the authority to comp services… in which case he did well following orders.
To me this is reflects on the training he received, or lack there of, provided management.
Returned to the room. and composed this review. How difficult would it have been to comp the WiFi??? A little customer service goes a LONG way. Something I think Maurice needs to learn.
I know this is a budget motel, the price was right… but come on… no toilet paper in the room? Makes me wonder if the room was inspected after housekeeping did their job.

I’ve stayed at Motel many times over the years and have low expectations. It’s ok for what you pay. I had stayed at a Motel 6 just a few weeks ago just off interstate 80 at the Utah/​Nevada boarder — what I would call a typical Motel 6. This time, however, was different. When I called for a reservation, the Customer Service Rep ended the call with «we’ll leave the light on» which I thought was a nice way to reinforce the brand and frankly just a nice thing to hear when sitting in my car, in the dark, on the side of the road, calling around for a room for the night. I was pleasantly surprised by the King of Prussia location. From the outside, my expectations remained low, you can’t get from one section to another and there was a group having a party in the parking lot. I opened the door to my room and thought — wow, is this a Motel 6? The room was clearly newly remodeled, modern, a hard wood floor, new bed (very comfortable) and didn’t have a nasty bed spread. The sheets and towels were typical Motel 6 but overall I was honestly very surprised and pleased by the room.

Motel 6 is exactly what I’m looking for in an overnight stay. The very affordable basic room rate was reduced further by my 10% AARP discount. The staff were very polite and helpful. I didn’t need a reservation since many rooms were available on a weeknight. Things that I see other reviewers of motels complain about — unupholstered furniture, laminate wood not carpeted floors, utilitarian feel — are plusses to me. An environment like that is easy to keep clean and inhospitable to bedbugs and other critters. My room was extremely clean and well-​stocked with the basics (towels, cups, toilet tissue, soap, nice pillows). It had the amenities I care about: Heat/​AC that works, and a nice LG flat-​screen TV with some premium cable channels and ports for peripherals such as game systems, woot! WIFI is paid, $ 2.99, not bad. What Motel 6 doesn’t have, I don’t miss at all.

I call this motel industrial loft meets Dr. Seuss. I know it makes no sense so read on!
Inexpensive rooms right off the highway (wonderful views of the interstates if you look out your windows). HOWEVER, King of Prussia Mall is across that interstate!
There is also a small outdoor pool, but we had no time to use it as we were not there during the day.
The room is clean, very clean, but sparse. (Look at the picture of the orange walls and orange curtains). The floors are wood and there is a large screen TV on the wall.
There is a table off to the side with a booth type seat and a basic chair on the other side (where you can drink your morning coffee which is offered free to the guests).
Oh, the bathroom has yellow towel holders (ours was sort of crooked and reminded me of something in a Dr. Suess book). AND, don’t expect any little shampoos or lotions as you might be used to. There is one small wrapped bar of soap. You need to request more at the front desk. The front desk is great… lovely, nice people and there is free coffee and lots of brochures on area attractions.
The hallways are gray and seemed almost industrial loft to me… sort of like I am in a work space I think… sort of weird.
Advantages: this is VERY CLEAN, offers a pool and a big TV to watch, the King of Prussia Mall is across the street.
So if you are planning on lots of activities as we were, this is a great, clean, inexpensive place to sleep. I don’t know that I’d want to hang out here for great lengths of time but it suits its purpose.

This hotel was renovated very recently and its rooms are BEAUTIFUL! Very modern, sleek, comfortable, and well appointed. Hard wood floors, new firm mattresses on sleek platform beds, LG flat screen TV, great bathroom, new style sink and faucet, great lighting. There is no cheaper hotel within many miles of this location and we got a discount by using our AARP card.
I saw a review below that was upset by the lack of tiny toiletries. Really? Ever stay at Motel 6 before? Lack of this stuff is why it’s cheap! If you’re expecting a Hyatt, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. We stay at Motel 6s about 200 days a yr with another 100 days at Red Roof Inn and a very occasional Knights Inn. Assuredly, there are MAJOR differences between hotels in the same chain. This one is up in the top 10% of the Motel 6 line up.
In this area, you can stay as nice but for sure, not as inexpensively. Don’t be put off by the lack of easy entry to their parking lot, no one stops going to Cracker Barrel because of this. The hotel is worth a little effort to get into it.

A shit hole for whores, pimps, and dealers. If it’s this or sleep in your car I’d sleep in the car.

Decent motel for a one night stay, wouldn’t stay for any longer.
Newly updated rooms and good location but an awkward entrance.
We got a room facing the highway and next to the pool. Noisy durning the hot summer afternoon. Smelly and noisy «musty» hallways, keep the AC kicking in the room. Simple rooms, seemingly clean, paid extra for appliances (fridge and microwave).
Limited toiletries, literally only a bar of soap.
Pay $ 3 for wifi card/​code and need one for every device. Decent tv channel, ESPN, HBO, TBS, etc.
For a place to sleep, shower, and stay for a night it was a decent price off Expedia.

Ok — this review comes with a lot of caveats for the rating.
Motel 6 isn’t known for its luxury and comfort. That being said, I needed a room in Philadelphia while on a budget. I lowered my expectations and hoped for the best.
This location is hard to get to — if you’re heading north on 202, make a quick, awkward right by the Enterprise and you’ll see the entrance for Motel 6 right ahead. Or, if you want to avoid crossing lanes and being frenzied, turn right on Gulph Road, then right on Bill Smith, and you’ll wrap around the wine store and nearby Mexican restaurant and you’ll head back towards the Motel 6.
There’s no continental breakfast but there is complimentary coffee. The room has very limited amenities — a couple bars of soap, but no little shampoo, conditioner, lotion, mouthwash, etc. There’s also no hairdryer or iron. Towels are scratchy.
But! They are remodeling, and if you’re staying in one, it isn’t so bad. New hardwood floors, modern Ikea-​esque furniture, flatscreen TV, clean linens, and clean bathrooms.
Staff are nice enough. No, it isn’t a wonderful place to stay, but if you don’t expect much and are trying to save some money, this isn’t a bad stay.

Booked a non-​smoking room, but was put on the 2^nd floor, which reeked of smoke. The room smelled as well, not quite as strong as the hallway. There weren’t any non-​smoking signs in the room and there were 3 ashtrays. First floor smelled fresh, but desk clerk claimed all rooms were already checked-​in so she wouldn’t switch ours. After 30 minutes we decided to go elsewhere. Desk clerk tried to say they didn’t give refunds. Manager came, inspected our room, and gave us our money back.

It was cheap, it seemed clean, within half hour drive of philly.
No complaints really. You get what you expect. Clean room in a very simple building. Parking lot is huge so you may have to walk but at least the parking is free. There was no hair dryer in the room (apparently you can request one). You can hear some noise from the hallway but it wasn’t anything too crazy.
I’d stay here if you just want a cheap place to lay down your head on a trip. I took a day trip to philly and then drove to amish country. Staying here was convenient since it puts you a half hour closer to lancaster than in downtown philly.

The main things going for this hotel are that it’s cheap, and it allows dogs. It’s not particularly nice, but it’s really fine for one night when you only plan to be in the hotel for about 10 hours, eight of which you’ll spend asleep. My husband and I (and our 65-​lb dog) have stayed there for the last two Thanksgivings because we visit nearby relatives for Thanksgiving afternoon and dinner, then leave the following morning for a weekend with another set of relatives. Last year, we stayed on the second floor, where the hallway walls were dirty and the floors were slanted, and the room itself smelled like cigarette smoke (so much for a nonsmoking room). This year, we had a room on the first floor. I’m not sure if they’ve done some (extremely minor) renovations or if the first floor is just a little nicer, but the hallway walls were painted in a bright, albeit ugly, color, and at least the floors were flat. The room itself appeared clean at first — white walls with one accent wall in bright ugly orange — with 80’s or early 90’s tables and cabinets. But there were cigarette burns on the blanket, and there was hair all over the floor in the bathroom. The door to the room latched properly, but doesn’t actually seal, so light and sound gets in around the door, and it rattles a bit. But hey — we paid less than $ 70 for the night, so I’m not complaining too much.
In summary — I was happy that there were no bedbugs, the sheets were clean and we didn’t get robbed overnight. The room isn’t luxurious by any stretch of the imagination, but it was definitely worth what we paid for it.

Reasons you should and should not stay at the Motel 6 in King of Prussia:
You should stay here if:
You were recently released from a penitentiary and would like to feel at home again.
You always thought a public bathroom would be a nice place to sleep.
You like having a bar of soap but think shampoo is just going to far. Its all soap right?
You like seeing the wash clothe in the shower from the last person who stayed in the room so you know they showered before you got in the bed since probably wasn’t changed.
You think a comforter is a waste — a fleece blanket will keep you plenty warm!
You should not stay here if:
You like having internet.
You have dignity.
You have a choice.

This place honestly deserves one star but its price and the employees were enough to bump it up a bit. First off this is the cheapest place around so if you’re on a budget this is where I would look. Its also across the street from what looks to be a huge mall but I didn’t check that out.
Besides that there’s nothing really appealing about this hotel. The stairway near my room smelled absolutely horrendous and there was even a bag of trash just hanging out at the top of one flight. My room was large but like another reviewer mentioned didn’t have much. I was able to borrow an iron from the front desk but I had to let them hold onto my drivers license while I used it and they didn’t have any ironing boards. Wifi will cost you $ 3 and you have to go back down to the front desk to buy one of their cards which I found irritating.
Honestly though I would stay here again because of its price but I think I would regret it as soon as I left the front desk and had to smell that hallway.

It’s Motel 6, so if your expectations are set correctly (I.e. Low), you usually get your money’s worth. Don’t expect more than a bed. But when you’re driving across country, especially with a pet, a bed is sometimes all you are looking for.
This place did have a strong odor in the hallways. But the room was clean enough and didn’t smell. The rugs in the room and hallway were bery stained. But I’d stay here again when on a tight budget, if traveling with my dog. Not many chains motels allow dogs, so Motel 6 is sometimes a good option.
Just read reviews first. I’ve stayed in a few over the years that were worse than others. Some locations are a haven for position and drugs.

Maybe I’m being picky, but there are certain things I feel all hotels should have that, in this case, I found this Motel 6 sorely lacking. Such as:
–a clock, alarm variation or not
–a coffee maker
–an iron
–shampoo or generic hair wash soap in the bathroom
–enough parking spots for the customers staying there (in fairness, this can be blamed on the fact that more than half the parking spots are taken up by Mack trucks and trailers)
–clean bedding
–locked doors to prevent random people from walking through your hotel at whim
On the plus side, our lovely little slice of heaven did have a mini fridge and the coldest air conditioning unit ever. There was almost no middle group between «Arctic tundra» and «off» settings. And to round out the feature list, the fan would occasionally resonate and cause an immense racket.
But let me tell you, what you don’t get in amenities or comforts, you sure make up for with the unholy mighty stink that pervades the entire place.
Just don’t stay here. Ever.

So I stayed here in early November when a friend and I were headed to a concert in Atlantic City, NJ. Overall a nice place. I’ve very tempted to give them 1 stars but I’ll be generous. The room was very basic, and I was quite tired after a late night drive from NJ so the beds seemed good. However the bedding, from what I remember looked dirty.
*very basic
*stay here if you NEED to just find a place to crash
*right across from King of Prussia Mall
