Disliked: Amenities
Staff was extremely nice. Room was clean-ish. No complaints about the bed, linens appeared and smelled clean. No thick blanket or extra pillow ..bummer. Bathroom was a little rough, hair in tub. Mold along upper grove of bathtub only one towel for 2 people, but the office did give us more upon request. Cigarette smell despite non smoking room. Plastice bag over the smoke detector.. Walls and doors very thin. Heard every step, sneeze, conversation. Didnt expect much from this place, but overall felt safe and that i slept in a clean bed. Wouldnt go out of my way to stay here again, but its ok in a pinch. Price was a little steep for a place that doesnt offer soap or a mini fridge haha. But it was a holiday weekend, golf event, last minute booking etc. If youre just looking for a place to get some sleep-this is probably ok. If youre trying to relax and enjoy your time here in the Monterrey area-spend the coin somewhere else.

The room was clean and the mattress was good. Ridiculous pricing at $200 for a Motel 6 - they really got me for a one night last minute stay when everyone else was full. For that price they don't even provide shampoo. Was lucky to get soap.
