Motel 6

I found this place through
and the price was right. I was looking for a place for one night. I thought it was a hotel. lol. BUT it’s not like a trailer park. It’s like a tiny neighborhood with nothing near by. It’s fenced too. Yes, it’s in the industrial part of town, BUT it’s SAFE and it’s literally a minutes away from the freeway and it’s pretty quiet.
The staff is courteous and helpful. I showed up and the manager had gone, but she had called beforehand and left instructions. I checked in easily and quickly.
I had a nice shower and went to bed. It was perfect for one person!
It was neat, clean, and even looked almost new.
I would recommend this place. And I would definitely come back.

Decent place if you just need an affordable place to stay overnight (around 60 – 70 bucks a night), looks no further. While it may looks like a run down business (comparing to fancier competing options like Best Western and La Quinta across the street), it is in fact not bad at all. There’s always a security guard patrolling the parking lot.
Things you should know before booking:
1) There’s no fridge or microwave!
2) WI-​FI not free!
3) Certain rooms are adjoining and not sound proof, but I didn’t experienced any loud noises while I was there.

I didn’t expect much from a motel 6 in the first place so anything they could throw at me i could handle. The room itself not bad. What bothered me was the attitude by the night shift clerk as if he was doing me a favor by letting me check in. I had a problem with one of the rooms and they refused to let the rest of my family check in because of a name change after it was already charged to my credit card. I wasn’t allowed to go outside of my room after i checked in. We were told we couldn’t even sit in our cars. It was like a motel jail! I went to the office the next day to get a refund on the room i wasn’t able to check into and by another clerk with attitude I was told they don’t do refunds because i booked with a third party when clearly they charged me. Rodney the day shift manager (the only one with customer service skills) tried to help me with my issue. Three weeks later back and forth with the booking company throwing it on the motel still no refund! They definitely need to have a company meeting and train the emplyees properly. This was the hotel experience from hell!

The room itself was not bad. It was the service that was horrible! They never got around to cleaning our room, we did not receive clean towels. We got locked out of our room for «nonpayment». When we paid at check in. We were continuously harrassed and threatened to be kicked out by staff for making too much noise in an upstairs room. We were only walking! My husband stepped outside the room to take a phone call and was immediately told if he did not return to the room we would be kicked out. Also apparrently if you book through a 3^rd party such as
and arrive to check in after 6pm they can charge you and turn you away when you get there. The staff that we encountered should really find work elsewhere because they do not understand the idea of hospitality, or good customer service. My standards for a motel 6 were not high but this was the worst hotel stay we have ever had!

I’ve been at this location for two nights with one night left to go. This will be my third or fourth time staying here. Obviously I have had no real problems over the number of years that I’ve stayed here or I would not return.
I like how Motel 6 is remodeling its motels. It is clean, both inside and out. The room is spacious and comfortable. It has been quiet, with minimal noise coming from street traffic and people walking in the room above me. The staff, including security, have been friendly and helpful, and that has always been my experience here.
I notice this trip that there is an increased number of homeless people in the area, but I never felt in danger. These people were minding their own business and did not appear to bother anyone that I could see. It does help that security is on site.
My husband and I stay in Motel 6’s because they are economical and they have a very liberal dog policy. We have no delusions of them being equal to 5 star hotels, and they are not housed in 5 star areas of town. They are inexpensive places to sleep when on the road, and we are thankful to have them.

I spent two 5-​day stints at this Motel 6 recently while my crew worked on a nearby project. I always stay in the same hotel or motel that the work crew stays at to facilitate logistics and communication.
Except for a blood-​stained towel and a very stained toilet seat, the room was pretty decent, and even though there are a lot of shady characters in this area, this Motel 6 has very good security and the front desk staff is very attentive and pleasant.
The police was there almost every day as well, which is not always a bad thing. At least they’re paying attention to the problem areas. I never felt threatened or unsafe here.
My biggest complaint about this Motel 6 is the housekeepers. They started making noise right outside my door around 8:00 am. This typically wouldn’t bother me, but during this project I was working nights and sleeping during the day, and these housekeepers made sleeping very difficult for me.
They knocked on my door every morning. I always yelled back that I didn’t need service, but that wasn’t good enough for them. They always made me get up and open the door. The times I didn’t get up to open the door they walked right in. Perhaps that was my fault for failing to engage the deadbolt and security latch, but if I can hear them gossiping outside my door, I’m sure they could hear me yelling that I didn’t need service. But they always wanted a visual confirmation.
Then on at least three occasions they just walked in. I didn’t even hear them knocking. Maybe they get paid by the room, or maybe they just need to look inside the room to make sure nobody is cooking meth. The housekeepers here also have a very crappy attitude. One morning I was walking towards the ice machine and one of them pushed a laundry cart through the laundry room door and smacked me with it. It didn’t hurt, but the fact that she didn’t even apologize shows how little respect they have for guests.
There has to be a better way G6 Hospitality. The housekeepers at your College Town Drive and West Sacramento properties are well-​trained, but the ones at Jibboom have serious issues. Time to do some training or fire someone.

Making last minute reservation went well. The lobby smelled really bad! I’m a «germa» freak to begin with because past history of bed bugs at a different hotel. I found hair on bed and on towel that was supposed to be clean. Not happy I found a syringe needle hidden behind the towel rack on the left of bathroom sink and old blood stain on a pillow. Reported this to guy at front lobby. Don’t know if he remedied this.

Desperation will lead one to motel with poor reviews when no other hotel in town has rooms available. I got here late, security guards walking around, a shady guy who seemed rather fidgety dropping random dollars into an outdoor customer window. Need I go on? Yes I must. 2 security guards come in as I am checking in one telling the other which rooms to keep an eye on. I get in my room about sit on the bed and see little hairs on bedspread, another on the pillow and yet another on the bed sheet. I called the front desk person and her response was they are supposed to change the sheets every day and that she would bring me some new sheets and pillow cases. Still no sheets yet! Did I forget to mention the remote has no battery cover! I am disgusted, afraid and disappointed. Never again!

They ought to change the name of this street from JibBOOM St to JibBUM St. There are bums everywhere. One was going through the trash outside my room. Another helped himself to the free coffee. And another kept knocking on my door in the middle of the night. I kept telling him to go away. I finally had to call the front desk and they said they would tell him to leave. I found out later there’s a homeless shelter nearby.
I would never stay there again.
Aside from that, the room itself was fine. I would rate it 3 stars. There was no carpet, just hardwood throughout. It seemed very clean. The bedding, bathroom, flooring, walls, all clean. But it was missing some amenities such as microwave, refrigerator and free WIFI. That’s an extra $ 2.99 per night.

Horrible motel! The worst place I have ever stayed in the US. I slept 2 hours, listened to people screaming, shouting and stomping above my room for another hour and then checked out. Dirty, smelly, bad bed, and filthy carpet. Front desk guy was very nice.
I was so nervous about the people wandering around the parking lot that I took all of my luggage into the room. I didn’t feel safe leaving anything of value in my car.

I stayed here out of desperation with my two kids late one night during a road trip to CA from northwestern WA. I was falling asleep, and saw the sign, so I pulled off. On my way over to the motel from the freeway, I pulled through a McDonald’s to grab us some late-​night snacks, and was obstructed by a homeless man who was very obviously drunk, loudly harassing the girl working at the drive-​thru window. Bad neighborhood; okay, fine. No problem.
Enter the hotel room. From the moment I pulled into the parking lot, I was nervous. There were at least three patrons in the parking lot that were eyeing me as suspiciously as I eyed them. The front counter was accessed through a plexiglas window; I had to stand outside the building to shout through the metal grating at the night clerk, and pull out my wallet in an area I’d rather not have. I was scared to walk to my room with the kids, and when we got into the non-​smoking room we’d paid for, it stunk of smoke and who-​knows what else. There were cigarette burns on the sink and all over the blankets. There were obvious, crusty stains on the bedding and in the carpet; pubic hair in the sink and on the bathroom floor; smeary handprints on the mirror. I made the kids bring in our blanket from the car, and we slept on top of our own blanket on top of the bedding, in our clothes. I did not allow them to walk barefoot on the carpet, and had to disinfect the toilet before I allowed them to use it.
Yuck. Had I not been so desperate, I would have left immediately. We stayed for six hours, and left first thing in the morning.

I urged our travel group to continue through Sacramento, but was out voted. And here I found myself, in the worst hotel experience of my life. I’m going to keep it short as I’d rather not relive the horror.
— Stained sheets (asked for new sheets received new, stained sheets)
— Stained towels (asked for new towels, received new, stained towels)
— Cigarette burns in the blankets.
— Large stain on the mattress
— Bloody boogers wiped on bathroom wall
— Pubic hairs on floor in bathroom
— Hookers patrolling sidewalk
— Pool water a milky white with garbage set around it
Left after an hour. Avoid this Motel 6!

Okay, so we checked in and they only had a smoking room… we tried it and checked out about 30 minutes later — it was THAT bad. Luckily, they gave me my money back but it was AWFUL… the guy was nice though at the front desk
