Review of Motel 6 – Room 147 The images provided for this Motel 6 property are highly misleading. The reality is that the facility is poorly maintained and appears to double as a homeless shelter. It is in serious need of renovation. We stayed in Room 147. There was no closet or any place to hang clothing. The room lacked basic furniture—even a chair to sit on. The floor was bare and not carpeted, the walls were unfinished concrete blocks, and the room was completely outdated. The bathroom had huge visible cracks in the floor, and the toilet rocked when sat on, indicating poor maintenance. While there was hot water, that’s one of the very few positives. The television, although labeled as high definition, only offered six channels—most of which barely worked. One evening, we had to assist a woman resident who had fallen in her room. She was screaming for help for a good five minutes before we could locate her. Additionally, the pervasive smell of marijuana throughout the building made it clear that the non-smoking policy is not enforced. To make matters worse, Expedia has refused to provide a refund, despite the clear discrepancy between how this property is advertised and its actual condition. This is false advertising, plain and simple. This property does not match the online listing and is not a place I would recommend. If you’re considering staying here, I strongly advise you to look elsewhere.

Check in: I paid cash at check-in, but did not receive the receipt because the printer was broken. They asked me to come back later. The next day, the printer was still not fixed. I did not receive any paper documents at all. During the stay, some guests, four of them, were fighting each other very loudly from 12 midnight to 1 thirty, but no hotel employees did anything. It was so bad that I almost called the police. The check-out time was 11 am, but the key became unusable to use at 10 am.

We went there check in around 5pm and the room smell a heavy smoke like a whole group of people smoke over there even we reserved smoke free room and that is the last room they have and we can’t get another one, we try to open the window and run the AC to help out with the smell but it’s not helping at all. No blanket inside the room and we ask the front desk , he said it will take time because the house keeper it’s not there and he need to wash and dry it. We keep calling and asked about the blanket every hour , on the 3rd hour I went downstairs and asked for the blanket and he gave me a thin brown blanket instead the thick one they put in the picture. While I’m in the front desk I saw him open the Linen room next to him I spotted an air refresher spray and I begged him to spray my room with it for a minute, or I can borrow it and give it back after I finish but he said NO because it’s not his job and he need to ask the room cleaner lady 1st. What a disaster and we can’t sleep at all that night. Just let you know this hotel have no lift only stairs. Get ready if you have huge luggage. Overall this is the worst experience I’ve ever had in my entire existence with staying in the motel/hotel periods.

Old, broken, and brown water

The door could not be opened with the electronic key, only by a physical master key, so guests were not free to come and go, which was bizarre. This happened because a fuse blew earlier in the day, but that’s still unacceptable—rewire the hotel so that doesn’t happen, and have an electrician on call. The tub water ran very brown. The room was generally clean, maybe some hairs left around, but trash taken out and not filthy. There’s enough parking. There was one person working and a lot of people checking in and the key issue and various other issues so the service was slow.

The place should be closed

Staff was rude. Room was missing a microwave. No attempt to get one from an empty room. The microwave in the common area was filthy with food in it. The website for this location listed smoking rooms that were available. The staff stated that she didn't have access to the site to look at it I filed a complaint with corporate of Motel 6. Worst hotel experience in my life.

bad stay, stay away

the room was very smelly. we could not open the curtains or the window because the view was terrible, garbage, junk cars, two mobile home trailers that looked like they been there for years. full trash bins an old hotel sink just lying there under a bush..there was a homeless guy outside our window charging his cell phone. they had no toilet paper, not enough pillows. the pillows were flat and empty. the hotel and halls smelled like smoke, dirty feet and semen. this place seemed more like a crack spot or homeless shelter. the back door was open halkf the time, the inside door was broken and it slammed into the wall everytime it was opened. staff was mostly unfriendly like they just didnt care. we felt verey unsafe here. I have stayed at motel 6 before in various locations, this place was the worst hotel i ever stayed in. i fell very mislead and disappointed.
