    I travel around the country for my job. I've stayed at a lot of great locations. But this Motel, 6 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Stay away from, when I mean stay away I ain't exaggerating. I contacted the Department of Health in Portsmouth New Hampshire. They shared with me that this motel 6 location has multiple health violations and code violations. And what happened to me? And the reason why I am writing this review. I stayed at this location and I received bed bug Shells, in my suitcase, I got bit multiple times by spiders. The outlets did not work. The heater did not work. And there was a cockroach hanging around the top of the shower head. So for your health and for your insanity, stay away from motel six in portsmouth, new hampshire. I had to throw away my suitcase and some of my clothes, so I lost money. Because of this horrible motel 6.

    1. Staff member was not helpful.
    2. Staff messed up my reservation.
    3. They canceled my reservation even when I called ahead of time and then didn't accept my company's business card that I have to use when I stay for work.
    4. I waited hours to finally get a room so I had to sleep in my car for 4 hours and I still had to pay for an early check in.
    5. I kept being woken up by maintenance and the manager due to a leak in the shower. The shower door hinges were falling off so they also had to fix that while they couldn't reimburse me for the inconveniences or get me another room.
    6. The light and fan vent in the bathroom had issues so I just didn't use it.
    7. Plus getting off work this entire week work 16 hour shifts made my stay not pleasant at all.
    8. I was only there 3 days in total I believe and everyday there was some type of issue that I wasn't at fault then when I tried to file a complaint I was given false people to reach out to so I decided to call customer service and they were rude very very rude.

    9. I kept having to barricade my room door due to homeless people trying to get in while I was sleep.

    If I could leave a F rating I would. Motel 6 hires horrible supervisors with ZERO customer service. The supervisor in the Idaho Coeur D Alene will scream, have a attitude and then twist it on you. She will hang up, and kick you out to and make up lies to try to keep you off the property forever. Customer care won't even get back to the costumer after the complaints. So I am banned from Motel 6 where I live over a liar and snot in Coeur D Alene. Everyone else that works there is kind, and has good costumer service. She is AWFUL. Motel 6 you need to fire her and replace her with someone else. Even a customer in the parking lot said she was always horrible to them too and MOTEL 6 doesn't care. They keep her in her position. She has a Napoleon complex and is a liar! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE experience! Worse customer service in my entire life. The hotel next to it is 50 bucks more a night, but everything works and the customer service is better.

    I have stayed at this Motel 6 in the past under previous management and had never had an issue. Even referred many working at a hotel nearby in the past. This morning upon checking in the only person I believe the live in owner while checking us in, said he did not feel comfortable letting us check in. He pointed at the refuse service sign, which I get and have also used before. But his only explanation was he didn’t feel comfortable and said to go to the other motel 6. Please be careful if you are driving any distances from this location as they may cancel your reservation through Expedia, etc. They accept the reservations and get paid for them but do not honor them if they don’t feel like it. Just be careful

    My name is Karen ** and I stayed at Motel 6 in Naperville IL from March 15th to March 31st. When I checked in I was told that housekeeping would be coming every day. But I had to request housekeeping because they NEVER came every day. Then when I was checking out the front desk receptionist told me that I couldn't return because there was a lot of complaints. When I asked her what the complaints were she NEVER answered me. You would think that if there's a complaint about me; front desk would come knocking on my door and talk to me about it so I could rectify the situation. But they never did.

    Then I left my winter coat there. When I called the front desk clerk I was told that it was turned in. I told the front desk clerk that I would come and get it the next day. When I arrived I was told it was gone. So now I am wondering what happened to my winter coat after I was told it was turned in. I WILL NEVER recommend this location of Motel 6. Everyone is very rude and disrespectful.

    When checking in there was another question that was getting upset about their room being double booked and this isn't the first of that I have heard. They claimed they were sure no one was in my room. When I got to my room the TV was on, the air was on, and there was no hot water. The bathtub had black hairs in it. I had to wait until the next morning and their matenice guy came knocking on my door in all black clothes and a mask. He acted more like he was gonna try rob me than trying to fix anything. Paid for 2 nights and by 1 pm the next fay still did not have hot water. Wasn't able to change rooms and no mention of a discount has been addressed. I only give it a two star review because the air feels really cool.

    I cancelled my one night stay way in advance (they make that almost impossible as can't do it on their website and when I called the hotel as the website says you should do, the gentleman who answered spoke hardly any English and hung up on my three times!). I eventually managed to call their central call centre and the person cancelled the booking and sent me an email to confirm the cancellation. Except the hotel still charged me!!! Illegally!!!! I emailed them via their website to point out their error and to request a refund, to be told it was a "no show" and that I have to call the hotel! I now can't reply to their email with proof of the cancellation, both the email address that they sent to me plus FOUR others from their website do not go through. I also can’t use their contact form on their website anymore.

    I have proof of all of the above. I've read reviews online that the people running the Studio 6 in Barstow are dodgy and taking money when they should not - this is the case for me also. This is scandalous. I am furious. They stole my money and are refusing to refund me. They are clearly making this as difficult as possible to get in touch with them. I will be contacting my bank for a refund. Stay away from these charlatans!

    We stayed at Motel 6 South in Tempe, AZ. Staff was not friendly at all, cleanliness was ok not any better than that, the blanket had a cigarette burn in it, the mattress was unacceptable. It was very hard and it made noises every time you moved. the floor was as if it had been very wet and was raised and bulging in some parts of the room. When we left I told the office staff about the mattress and she just said ok. Not a good experience.

    This Motel 6 is dirty and infested with bed bugs, no toilet paper. 1 room is full of the manager's birds, a lot of birds, the toilet plugged every time it was flushed, there were no towels and dog ** on the upstairs walkway. They have no trash service cause they don't pay the bill. Overall, I can't believe you let these people use your name. This place has rats also and **... I have seen the cops there 2 or 3 times a day.... it should be called motel from hell. I'll never stay there again. I have no receipt because the manager pockets the $ and doesn't give receipts.

    I started the evening by getting off work and coming home to an emergency. A pipe had burst where I live and I was forced to rent a motel for the evening for my wife, cat, and myself. I looked on Expedia.com and found a cheap option with (against my better judgement) Motel 6 (they take pets as well) for the night and made a reservation. I work for a living, I don't have a trust fund or Youtube channel. I get fairly dirty during the day, hence we needed a motel. I showed up (car loaded wife and cat en route) and was informed once I showed my Identification that unfortunately they don't rent to locals. The room was non refundable through Expedia.com. After I expressed my displeasure in a short of words but ominous tone and look, he refunded my money. I easily rented a motel five blocks away. I leave the incident confused and saddened.

    The worst hotel/motel experience I've ever had. I get to my hotel, the front desk worker cancels my reservation. Okay cool? When do I get my refund? Wait, I don't get my refund. Motel 6 owes me $90.00 since November 2025 and they haven't taken the time or the effort to pay me back what I am owed. Motel 6 corporation you have stolen from me. You guys are thieves. I've called corporate well over 50 times and every single time they say "They're going to get it handled" and never do. They acknowledge that they owe me money, yet won't pay me back. This is utter bs, completely unprofessional, and absolutely unprecedented. If I don't get my money back today, I'm going to blow ** up. Rich corporations robbing the poor folk.

    When I called to make a 2 day reservation, I specifically asked if this was the actual motel because I had problems last year at this motel and the 3rd party reservation. I asked twice and was assured it was the actual motel. It was not. When I asked for a receipt, they informed me they could not because I had made the reservation thru a 3rd party. I do not tolerate people who lie, so will NEVER stay at any Motel 6 again. It is probably good because I did not appreciate that they did not have shampoo in the bathroom or shower.

When I went to the office to offer some money so we could stay another 15 minutes so she could shower I was told no and that they were keeping my deposit because we weren’t out by 11. The shower was in disrepair. Because front desk was so rude I give the place a one.

    A long, exhausting week, spent moving Vicki's father and stepmother to a new home in Carlisle, Ohio. 20 degree temperatures, often with strong winds and couple of days of rain/snow. Monday morning, I walked a block away to get a cup of coffee. Upon returning, I found the door unlocked. Not wanting to wake Vicki, I sat down at a small table. The cleaning guy came around the corner and said 'you can't be in here until after 6, you need to leave'. I said, 'It ain't happening. I don't have my room key and I'm not going outside to drink my coffee'. He threatened to call the police and have me arrested for trespassing. I told him he might want to run that by his boss.

    That evening, we headed back to our hotel (Motel 6) for our last night's stay, and found our room pass key didn't work. The manager had voided the key, until he had a chance to let me know how rude I had been with his cleaning crew (crew of 1) at 5:40am that morning, to remind me that the lobby is locked until 6am and that he could have called the police to have me removed. After getting another key, we decided not to stay the last night. We called for an Uber, grabbed our stuff and headed to the airport, hoping to catch an earlier flight. No other flights than our original 6am. We slept, or tried to, on the airport floor that night. Oh, and we still had to pay for the last night. NEVER ANOTHER MOTEL 6.

    Ever since Allen left there, the place has gone to the cockroaches literally. Chris the new manager needs to learn people skills cause he has none. No etiquette, he's rude, just a jerk!! I stayed there while my place was being renovated & I still had 1 more night there & without any explanation he had the maids or whoever go in my room while I was at work & pack up all my things. I'm not sure if anything was taken yet or not but they put all my things in garbage bags & left them on my bed.

    When I went to go ask the front desk or Chris what is up & I told I still had 1 more night there he didn't even have the common decency to tell me why he had that done, he looked at me & just went in the back room like the coward he is. I don't even think his wife & children like him with good reason. Then the room was full cockroaches daily. He's lucky I don't get a lawyer & sue him for going in my room. I give him 0 stars & suggest find a different hotel before you regret it & have to write a review like this.
