Motel 6

I stayed at Motel 6 over many years. This one was an odd one. But before I start this review I have to say that all the people that worked on this particular property were very nice and the room was very clean. Just my experience getting into that room was a little peculiar. I had booked online at a specific rate for a ground floor room handicap non-​smoking queen size bed. I got a ground floor room that’s okay. It was not a handicapped room that’s okay. But I’ve had a double bed and when I got to the front desk they tried to upsell and tell me it was $ 25 more a night because it was the weekend. At which point I showed him my email with confirmation number and the price that it was supposed to be. So with that being said the points that were missed on this where the bed was too small I did not get a handicap room but I did get a ground floor room which I appreciate but trying to charge me $ 25 over the email price after I had showed him the email from corporate. Also check and took a long time because I had to sign and read documents that forbid me from having any alcoholic beverages outside the room from loitering around other areas of the property and it was a pretty long list of strange things and I don’t think I’ve ever been asked to sign an exclusionary contract like that. I said because I needed a room and the person I was traveling with was a little surprised when we were both required to show ID so they could copy of them. I’m not sure if this is a Motel 6 standard procedure but we complied. I was a little bit more miffed that there was a $ 25 up charge on my room right. But as I said the young man at the front desk fixed it and so all is well. But I think that if we order our rooms online that that price should be respected when we roll up to that front desk doesn’t matter whose fault it is.

I have NEVER been so fed up with a hotel like this before! My friend and I have been treated like crap since the minute we arrived!!! Let me walk you threw our first 16 hours of a week long stay!!!
1-​The front office staff was rude, specifically Alisha! she had an attitude. She gave us a room key without telling us where to find the room. Leaving us walking around in the dark (1030pm) in an area we don’t know!!! Lugging our bags up stairs at least twice! Only when we went a fellow customer told us there was NO FUCKING ROOM 239 did we go back to the office only to be told our room was in a completely separate building around the corner!!! once again having to lug our bags into the car to drive to the other building, where there was no parking, a hooker in the parking lot, and people having sex in their car (all things that could’ve been avoided if security bothered to venture over there once in a fucking blue moon)…
2– Once we finally got all over stuff up the stairs and around to the other side, we opened the door to walk into a FUCKING NAKED MAN!!! NUDE!!! If the light from his tv hadn’t been on we would have walked in and closed the door. we would’ve been in a room with a naked man!!! AWKWARD AND UNCOMFORTABLE for both fucking parties!!! After apologizing to the man, we called front desk. ALISHA LAUGHED (we were NOT laughing at all!!!) and stated that we would have to walk all the way back to get new keys. Couldn’t have been troubled to have security run them over at all even though we asked!!!
3-​Desperate for sleep we went to pick them up anyways! Only to be put in a room two doors away from our original, having to once AGAIN lug our stuff back around the corner!!!
4-​When we finally got into a room (that wasn’t pre-​occupied), the trash cans still had garbage in them from previous visitors, had no extra towels like we had requested, and there was a wet rag left in the sink that made the room stink so bad we could barely breathe. After having to air out the room (given this was already around FUCKING MIDNIGHT!!!) we FINALLY got to sleep. (which was difficult given EVERY sound can be heard through the walls!!!
5-​The next day, we returned to the hotel hopeful that the experience would be better, but we were VERY wrong!!! Returning to the room, our first key didn’t work. Assuming one key didn’t work, we tried the other. BOTH keys had been deactivated, in 8 hours, somehow both cards had been deactivated, leaving us worried that our room had been visited by someone else while we were working all day. Please remember we are returning to the hotel with 6 bags of groceries and our work gear. The LAST thing we wanted to do was go ALL the way back to the front office. We called ALISHA to complain and she, once again, refused to send someone over. So we had to go back to the front office, and YES we did complain out loud! WE ARE PISSED!!! ALISHA was back behind the desk, attitude still on high. She gave us new keys. we headed back.
6-​Walking into the room we found trash STILL in the trash cans, and the dirty towels STILL on the floors!!! BUT somehow the beds were made. HOW CAN A MAID COME IN AND MAKE THE BEDS BUT HALF ASS THE REST OF THEIR JOB???
After calling to the front desk to complain AGAIN, they said they would get towels to us. AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER, we had to call AGAIN!!! FINALLY had towels delivered.
I will NEVER EVER stay at a motel 6 again!

The experience did not get any better. We had to make a stop by the front office every time we returned to the hotel to get new keys because they never worked two day in a row. We had a stranger try 3 times to open our door on our last night there. To top our stay at this hotel from hell, my room mate woke up friday morning covered in bug bites. We found the blood thirsty little fucker too. In the bed. Disgusting. Maybe if the sheets had been changed at all in 5 days (like we asked) this might not have been a problem!!!

I understood what I was getting into by booking a cheap motel. I don’t require a whole lot, honestly. But here are some things I wish I would have known before swiping my credit card:
1. There are no «Do Not Disturb» signs. Do you work nights? Planning on a long night out? Do you value sleeping in? Tough. The maids will come a-​knocking early, they’ll knock LOUDLY until you answer or until they try to enter, and there’s absolutely NO way to stop this.
2. You have one of those rooms connected by a door to another room? You’ll know it. I heard three people through mine talking at the top of their lungs, and then security pounding on their door because another room had complained.
3. You fly in from out of town? Looking to iron those clothes you’ve had stuffed in a suitcase? No dice. My room had no iron or ironing board.
4. Fancy a secret rendezvous? Are you one-​half of a forbidden romance? Wanna do a dirty deed in the dark? Nah. Anyone who enters the room that you’re paying for will need to stand in the brightly lit front office, amongst other guests and staff, and show the clerk their legal ID so that everyone knows you’re going to get a little nook-​nook. Moodkiller for a simple one night stand, right? Almost embarrassing, even. They might as well pass out complimentary condoms and offer you high fives. Also…
5. …the front office makes a point of showing that there are cameras recording EVERYWHERE. Someone is ALWAYS watching you. And since these cameras are pointed at other guests checking in or talking to the clerks — it could be one of them watching your every move. Normally, this might make someone feel safe. As it stands, I don’t want a motel without the courtesy of a Do Not Disturb sign having recorded footage of who I bring into my room with me, along with a copy of their picture ID.
6. You like wifi? It’s going to cost you $ 2.99 a day for a weak signal. No prob, right? Wrong. You’ll have to MANUALLY walk into the front office and pay for it every single day. The clerk will then write an access code down in bad handwriting on a Post It, and give it to you.
7. Has anyone stayed here? Did your key work every single time you had to get into your room? Oh. Mine didn’t. I had to go again to the front office for a «reset.»
If just you’re looking for sleep (maybe) and a shower, this is perfect. It’s a transient’s dream motel. If you require privacy, discretion, silence, an iron and an option of not being disturbed at any waking minute, I’d keep searching.

Stayed here because I was in town to visit family. The rates were good. I like that it was 2 queen beds and right next to Denny’s and Starbucks. The room was clean and nicely appointed. There were very active and visible security guards roaming the property. Now it wasn’t perfect. They put us in the back building and there is no ice machine back there. It’s also closer to the freeway on ramp so the noise at night is a bit much but eventually I pushed it back to white noise and I could sleep. It’s also a little awkwardly placed and usually you have to make a u turn to get to it. Overall I liked it here and I will use it again.

This is the WORST hotel I’ve ever stayed at! My brother and I moved to Sacramento and stayed at this awful place for two weeks. We requested a non-​smoker room and when we arrived, the room had an awful smell of cigarettes. We went to the manager who responded with an attitude, and then sent the maintenance man to spray a perfume to get rid of the smell. It was late and we just wanted to get some sleep so we continued to stay there. I was getting into bed and noticed the sheets were dirty, the mattresses had mold, and I even saw pubic hairs still on the sheets. This was so disgusting! I walked outside and there were several men who looked like they were selling drugs out of their rooms. Every night, random men would come up to their room and leave, several times throughout the day and night. This was the worst hotel experience, ever!!! I would give this place 0 stars if possible.

Got to stay a bit here on the way to a river experience. It was okay and what could beat a resting spot but good rates right? Bonus points for you with your family if you check out the nearby Scandia! Enjoy!

I was shocked at the blatant disrespect of the nighttime employees and security guards. They decided to have a party right outside my door til after 4:00am. When I talked to the general manager the next morning he said he would talk with them and it wouldn’t happen again. Sadly to say, the next night was not much better. I checked out early and went across the freeway to The LaQuinta Inn where I received 5 star service for about the same price. I would never go back here or refer anyone.

I disagree with all the reviews, I had some car issues, and a local sent me to this hotel. I had not stayed in a Motel 6 in 10 years. The staff was friendly, the room clean, and I really liked the fast there were cameras and security. This is a 5 star motel 6.
My room has laminate versus carpet, a major plus, and my dogs were welcome as well.
My room was really clean, and I had zero complaints.

I have stayed at many Motel 6 with good value — but this place was horrid. Wish I had read these reviews before booking! They took ½ hour to check in copying our licenses, lost our second night’s reservation (I had the
confirmation!), moved all our things from our room, demanded our kids names & birthdays, and treated us like criminals if one of us came in later than the other. The staff was rude and unapologetic for their mistakes, which greatly inconvenienced my entire family and especially my exhausted kids. The most customer-​service oriented staff were the security guards, who brought me a new key and retrieved all my bags after the hotel staff lost my second night reservation and emptied all my belongings from the room. Pathetic but true! And it wasn’t just us: the housekeeping staff left my friends door wide open all day when they left towels, and didn’t even make the beds! So stay away from this place unless you like being treated rudely, being delayed, and enjoy poor service & inconvenience.

Very bad service, I been here for two days now the house keeping didn’t clean my room for two days and I had to go down to the office to get a set of fresh towels. If you have an option to stay in another motel or hotel I advise to do so. You will be very disappointed if did stay in this motel 6. I would give them zero stars if it allows so.

Cant have visitors because they watch the security cameras to every room. Front desk called my room and rudely told me their are no visitors allowed. I tried to explain it was my sister and she continued to talk to me confrontational. Terrible policies and customer service.

Dirty, nasty, hookers nearby, not where I would bring kids, even if this was the only place to stay within a 100 miles, save your money and sleep in your car for the night, questionably cleaned rooms which smelled like weed inside and out. The floors smelled like wet dog, and I switched rooms 3 times. One room had holes in the blinds, and people peeping in my room I just checked in, dogs barking in the hallways and pissing on the gates. This tells you the type of people here right? The hotel must book rooms, sometimes you cannot pick! But because of the price and it’s location in the dusky dark ghetto part of town, expect some trailer trash with no teeth and unwashed clothes and stinky breathe to say hello and ask for some help, or ask to help YOU out! Yeah, that type of place.

Filthy crackden… if i wasnt poor i wouldn’t stay here. Dirty floors… loud barking dog next room over… this is one of the worst motel 6 spots you can stay at. Try Halyard motel 6 instead. This place sets the low bar

Worst hotel ever! I moved out here from LA and stayed at this place for a week. The mattresses had mold on them, when i checked the sheets, they had pubic hairs on them, i wanted to throw up. I requested a none smoking room and the room had a horrible cigarette stink to it. When i asked the manager for another room, she refused to give me one and simple sent the maintenance man to spray something in the room. It was late and i was tired, so i had no choice but to stay. I will never again stay at this place. I would not even stay here if you paid me to!

my first ever bad experience at a motel 6, and boy was it bad. needed a place to crash between 2 days of boarding at tahoe. this is what i observed upon reaching my room:
— a lot of ghetto looking cars
— an overturned shopping cart in the parking lot
— a loose pitbull roaming around the parking lot
— 2 guys chilling in front of their rooms smoking, with obviously nothing to do (but steal my snowboard gear later)
— very low weekly rates
— when i went back to the office to get a refund, one of the guests came in to complain that somebody had tried to break into his room while he was at work and that there was a fistfight outside of his room the night before at 300am.
— there are speakers throughout the hotel that make this announcement every 10 minutes or so «the entire property is under strict video surveillance. you are being recorded.»
i couldnt make this shit up. needless to say, i got a refund and got the hell out of there.

OK, so its «Motel 6» not a «Hilton»! I have stayed in lots of Hotels, Motels in my travels but this one has got to be the worsted! I don’t even know where to start.
Lets see… my bed spread was Swiss cheese (nonsmoking room) had one hell of a smell that never went away like some kinda chemicals. the toilet was dirty, shower wall was falling apart, the pillows are from HOME DEPOT (SUPER FLAT BRING YOUR OWN!!!) the TV hardly worked, the parking lot was littered with cigarette butts, the noise from the freeway was horrible, the bed is like sleeping on a flat of concrete… I could go on for more but i think you understand at this point. the only good thing is that the staff was friendly and the free coffee was not bad!

It’s Motel 6. I didnt come here expecting to be wrapped in the lap of luxury, but I would prefer a motel that at least washes the blankets that they put on the beds.
