About right for a cheap stay.

For the price, my stay was as I expected. No coffee maker, but the bed was clean and comfortable, even though the bed spread had a 4 inch rip. They did give me a room with a king bed instead of a queen that I was charged for. No problem.

Love their pet policy.

Staff was very nice and understanding, I lock myself out of the room 5 minutes into my stay. lol It was just an overnight stay, but very pleasant, room was clean with a microwave and a large refrigerator, not a camping size. Love their pet policy. Will stay again!

Room not clean. Door would lock from the inside, but would not when leaving the room. We reported the lock and were told “they would look into it”.

I like that it was a room available at that time since I had to get off the road from traveling all day. I didnt like that the two rooms i got wasn't cleaned, especially the bathrooms in both rooms and the beds. We literally slept with our clothes on and didn't get much sleep and checked out at 4:30 am instead of 11 am because we wasnt comfortable

We had someone try to get in our room because office staff had given them our room key. There was dirty food trays under the beds. Got no sleep because at 1:30AM the neighbors decided to throw a fiesta. Then at 5AM, a woman started screaming at the top of her lungs and the cops were called. We felt unsafe and will never stay at a Motel 6 again.
