Motel 6

This Motel is not located in a great neighborhood. The neighbors in the room next door were screaming at each other at 5 am and were pretty clearly on some kind of stimulants. Despite having asked for a nonsmoking room, we got a smoking room! Not only did the comforter have cigarette burns in it, the room smelled so strongly of smoke I hardly slept and all my clothes REEKED. Those are my only two complaints, maybe it was just an off night? Maybe nonsmoking rooms are better? I don’t know but I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

It’s in a seriously rough neighborhood, but there’s a guard. I was going to give three stars, as it is completely adequate for a motel 6 in the ghetto, but I had a customer service issue when checking in. Despite warning the front desk clerk a week in advance that I wouldn’t be checking in until very late, he still rented my room to someone else, as I did not pick up his «confirmation call». Nowhere in the Expedia ad does it warn that there will be one placed, and it was very frustrating, as I was put in a smoking room. I reek of cigarettes as a result, and had trouble sleeping. The tweakers next door screamed at each other until around 5 AM, but the management can’t be faulted for having their motel in Vallejo, I guess. I would have been perfectly satisfied if it weren’t for the smoking room thing. Watch out for that.

I’m giving 4 stars because this motel 6 had great customer service and great management. the room was renovated with nice bedding, curtains and furniture. The design was modern and sleek. The linens were clean and smelled nice and the floor is wood throughout. The parking is somewhat lit, and there was a security guard wandering about. The motel is also close to the freeway, shopping and right next to a Denny’s. The management was friendly and polite when we entered and throughout our stay. They do not have a microwave or fridge in each room but they have vending machines and ice near the office and a microwave in the office. I can see that they are trying really hard to keep the motel as safe and nice as possible. The motel management is not responsible for the people who are staying there or wandering about, I am sure they ask those who are loud or wild to leave. The motel 6 is really good pricing for around the area and I would recommend it for people who will be touring either Napa, St. Helena, or Calistoga, because it’s not that far (although it will take 30 min or so) of a drive to the sites, and it’s a nice straight drive. Unfortunately because the price is low, there may be people around you do not want to see, and like all other hotels/​motels, they do not run a background check before allowing guests to stay there… However the motel management treats everyone the same, in a polite manner, as he should. If there are any incidents of noise control or violence I’m sure that those people would be asked to leave.

Not sure which motel 6 in Vallejo has the demon living there but you should be ashamed of yourself.
Motel 6 as a whole to allow this person in any person like him violent criminal to stay in your property.
rid of him now!!! FRAISURE SMITH.

Run do not stay here. As of today 11/​18/​2015 a violent sex offender has been released and has been placed here. I saw it on the news and was horrified that Motel 6 would allow this. This is a place were families and women stay and it is located near the Six Flags Amusement park. Please for your safety and the safety of your family stay at another hotel. Here is the link to the news article. I am staying at a La Quinta.

This motel 6 is knowingly renting a room to a sexually violent predator. Please women, families, stay away for your own safety.

My bf and I stayed here for 3 days. The rooms are really nice. newly renovated. the location is right off of the freeway, next to denny’s. It’s super quiet and the security guard is on site. We were very pleased with our stay and definitely stay again.

This place is in the ghetto if your going to six flags there is another motel 6 right up the street from the park that’s closer. Why this one says 6 flags in the name I don’t know! and the other one has a pool it was the same price. This place has a lot of traffic people coming and going !! I was afraid to leave my car so I waited until I could get a spot right in front of my room. The room was not dirty or anything but they don’t have anything no blow dryer nothing! I never write bad reviews but this place is scary! and I know people say that all the time but this place is really bad! Not the hotel just the people that happen to be here. The guys at the front desk were nice. Sorry just need letting people know don’t bring your children here!

All around okay, not safe for young children though.
Stayed here for the Bottlerock Festival 2015, 12 miles from the venue. One night was also very noisy but we were staying there for a festival so it was to be expected.
Service: really good, impressive for a motel 6 even. About an hour after check in I received a call asking if everything was to my liking. (I’ve never had that happen at the fanciest hotels)
Room: quaint, quiet, you could hear the person next door to you shower but not their TV or chatter. The bathroom was super clean, no complaints. They didn’t have an iron, irregular but not a deal breaker. They do not have free wifi, it’s $ 2.99 per device per 24h. They had a nice, bolted down, flat screen with two HBO channels and the ability to swivel. No full body mirror but that too is irregular for a cheap motel. The pillows were nice and fluffy, the room was modern, and the ac worked well.
Exterior: parking was great; close, private, security guard on duty at night. The oodles of «lock your car/​hide your valuables» signs were a bit unnerving but pretty helpful. It would be great if they had a pool, the worst part was the second floor railing on the back side (fixing the tow/​junk yard). The railing was so flimsy when we heard someone scream Saturday night we thought someone fell. Anyway, that’s where it gets bad for the little ones.
Check in/​out: In-​I had to wait an extra 45 min for my room to be cleaned but it wasn’t the end of the world. The workers were nice and accommodating. Out-​super fast, dropped off my key and that was that!
Overall: I’d probably stay here again in a pinch.
Tips: wifi is not free, you can go through the Denny’s parking lot, seriously don’t leave valuables in your car, be careful on the second floor catwalk.

This place, even for a Motel 6, is a horrific dump. The hotel itself is in a notoriously bad area, but that much is apparent just getting there. The parking lot was full of very shady people wandering around. The room I was given smelled so bad I could barely stand it. Before long, I asked for another room, the second was even worse. Finally, a third and it was worse than all the others. Old beer, cigarette butts and vomit is the only way to describe the stench. And it was STRONG. In the end, I just asked for a refund, I’d been back and fourth for an hour dealing with the front desk and I had enough. Finally I wanted a refund, and she resisted, The lady at the front desk offered me an air freshener. Lady, you need a hazmat team to clean that out.
Worst. Dump. Ever.
I’m not that picky but this place is a dangerous shit hole. Drive another 10 minutes north for the 6 in Fairfield for a much better experience.

I have spent many, many nights at Motel 6s over the years — mostly because of their unbeatable prices (especially for single travelers) but particularly for their dog-​friendly policies at no charge.
A few years ago, I stayed at this particular Motel 6 and I was so unnerved by the unsavory characters hanging about that I actually called my sister and said, «If you don’t hear from me by 9 am, call the police.» This site was also undergoing renovations and I was put in a room that had not yet been fixed — stained bathroom, a TV that didn’t quite work, a heating unit that hung precariously from the wall and made quite a racket.
Fast forward a few years later and on my way to Sausalito last weekend, the bad weather forced me to overnight here. I should have spent the extra 5 minutes to drive to the other Motel 6 in town, which is much newer and nicer. Not much has improved here. The room I was in had a tub that leaked nonstop (drip, drip, drip) and the carpet just outside the bathroom door was soaking wet. And that was BEFORE I took a shower. I actually had to dry my hair by the bed because I was afraid I’d electrocute myself if I was anywhere near the wet carpet.
No thanks, I’ll spend my $ 42 somewhere else.

For value you can’t beat Motel 6. However always, always, always make sure you check online. You’ll save on the daily rate if you can reserve in advance. There is a Denny’s restaurant on site here so you don’t have to travel far for food (when the usual vending machine menu doesn’t fulfill your craving). Very clean and quiet. Direct access off of Rt 37 and Sonoma Blvd. About a $ 12 cab fare from the ferry terminal. The Amtrak California bus connection stops directly on Sonoma within 100 yards from the motel. They do have HP accessible rooms, but best to reserve online in advance if you can. A couple of fast food joints are nearby.
