I was very unhappy with this motel on my recent stay (Pismo Beach 4th street). After checking in my room I noticed the floor was very sticky and dirty. Then I was aware of feces on both sides of the toilette (on the outside) and the bottom sheet was not changed and had food crumbs everywhere on it. I immediately went down to the front desk and made them aware. I was told to take pictures and I would be refunded the next day. I was never offered a different room and no one came to clean the feces off the toilet. The next day I showed the pictures to a woman working in the office and was told a manager would get in touch with me which never happened. Called customer service and nothing was resolved.

Booked a room in Little Rock Arkansas. Got there and the front desk deleted our reservation right in front of us and said they didn't have any rooms. Called corporate to find out they had plenty of rooms. I was the only ** person at the property and that's the only reason we could see for that treatment. I was in the parking lot for 4 hours looking for other safe areas to stay. So my statement isn't based on 10 minutes. Corporate apologized and said they will look into it. I have 3000 dollars tied up and they didn't offer a single thing for the inconvenience. They haven't reached out to me even though I told corporate my thoughts about being racist. I know I would be pissed if that happened to my business.

No hot water for 2 days now & the pool is nasty looking and green! Rooms are clean and what staff they do have is friendly.

I reserved a room for today. I paid extra so I could check in early. I did it on the motel six website. The lady at the desk spent a long time having a personal conversation with a friend I assume. When it got to me she told me there was no room. I told her I reserved one and already paid for it. She said well they didn’t have anything and they never had anything early. I said I paid extra for early. She said no we might have something at 3 o’clock. I said then you need to cancel this and refund my money..
I had already bought a few groceries to put in the fridge that I could cook in the microwave which won’t be any good at 3 o’clock so there’s nothing I can do about that. I’m out that money anyway needless to say I’m very upset. I did reserve it ahead of time. I did not care for the customer service and yes, I’ll go somewhere else. It’s actually a pretty rundown motel. I was just impressed with being able to check in early. Terrible potholes everywhere and it’s a location where the homeless gather. The price is low or lower than most, which doesn’t help if you reserve a room and then they tell you they don’t have one when you get there..

The beds at this motel squeak so bad like they're broken. The ceiling has water bubbles on it. The bathroom smelled like dog urine. The TVs are so old and outdated.

Yes, I booked a reservation for Motel Six, May twenty first to May twenty fifth on Runburg in Austin, Texas. I got there after three the room was not ready. He told me wanted me to wait. I said no. I'm there when I should be. The room should be ready. It's not my fault they're not cleaned. So he finally gave me a room, and I went to the room and loaded my items. I was gonna, it was gonna be an extended stay because I just moved to Austin for a job and then it started raining, and I heard a big rumble, so I got up to look outside and I stepped in water. I wonder where it came from. And let's check by the door but it wasn't coming from the door, there was some sort of leak in the wall behind the tv. And it was coming out from the baseboard, the whole floor was flooded. All my things got wet.
I proceeded to call front desk guy. He didn't really care. He never came to the room. I finally had to go and get him. And all he could do, he said, was, give me two towels. I look at him and I'm like, "I'm not cleaning this mess up. This is your hotel. It's not my responsibility to mop this mess up." So in turn, I just let the mess stay there. And I decided to leave, so I left the motel that night, I tried to get a refund, but he kept telling me he couldn't do it to talk to the manager. Call customer service Sofia call customer service. The 800 number customer service gave me the runaround. All these people are in India. And it's very hard to understand them. So they kept giving me the run around the front desk, kept giving me the runaround.
I try to call corporate, no one in the corporate office ever answers the phone. So I think my next step is just to go to the media and let them know what's going on. Because I've never had a problem with Motel 6 before. Until this last time and finally, the manager Greta, talk to you said she was going to cancel my reservation and that I would have to call customer service for a refund. Call customer service again. They told me I have to talk to the manager, and I said nope, not doing it anymore. So the customer service calls the manager. The front desk and the front desk apparently is now going to give me a refund within 3 to 10 days, but that's yet to be seen. And I'm still trying to get ahold of corporate, corporate never answers the d*** phone, but I will never, ever ever stay at a motel 6 again? Stay away from Motel 6. They're cheap. Yeah, but they're cheap for a reason.

I reserved a room at the Motel 6 in Hattiesburg Ms. Please do not stay here. The room was so dirty, when I pulled the sheets back on the bed to look at the bed the sheets on burn spots and blood on them. The floor look like it had not been swept in months and the tv was even dirty. The tub looked like it had not been cleaned in months. I had to go find another place to stay, and Motel 6 did not refund my money. I never slept in the bed. I saw the room and walked out. PLEASE!! Do not stay here. Also, it's a place for drug addicts and extended stay people. I would not recommend this place to anyone; it needs to be closed down. I gave it 1 star, but that's because I had to submit this.

The towels had makeup smudges and dirt spots. The shower had been repeatedly sprayed, but not wiped in ages. I asked for a spray bottle so I could clean it myself. We were also denied a late check out time, or a safe place to store our luggage, while we wait to hear back about our broken down car. Thanks for nothing, Motel 6.

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.

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.

Very unprofessional! I paid online as I was recommended and upon arrival I was told they are not connected to the website which they advertise in their lobby. How disgusting. They charged me more than what the website already charged. Scammers!! If you don’t have a website why is this website advertised??

Filthy, to the point of unhealthy--Grime around light switches. Filthy walls, baseboards, moldy shower, holes and imperfections in the walls and furniture. Room so poorly configured one could not exit the toilet room if another stood at the sink. Second bed crammed next to the wall. Exterior of building stair treads and railing have not been cleaned in years it appears. Go to the Motel 6 a bit further down the street....or ANYWHERE ELSE!

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.

My wife ran a half marathon (for charity) and wasn’t able to get back to the motel until 11:45. 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.
