We get to the Motel 6 and they don't have the two rooms we reserved ready. We had to wait three hours before we get a room that I had already booked a month in advance. Finally they give us our keys and one of the rooms were filthy as **. We were pissed! We were already tired from driving three hours to get there so my daughters could attend the concert. Anyway the room was again finally ready and the room looked like **. The bed was very hard, the floors were dirty, and the conjoined door would not lock and the ice machine broke down in 100 degree weather. Our neighbors knock on our door to tell us to quiet it down. I went off but kept my cool after my husband calmed me down.
Woke up my back was very sore and the housecleaning lady kept on dragging her cart back and forth in front of our door. My daughter had even more complaints besides dirty room and No hot water! This is a ** motel and I will NEVER EVER RETURN AGAIN! I was in Sunnyvale CA NEAR MOUTAINVIEW CA. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND CHECK IN TO A NICER MOTEL SOMEWHERE ELSE. THANK YOU!

I stayed at Motel 6 in Arlington, Tx off of Cooper Street from May 28, 2015 through June 18, 2015. There were bugs in the bathroom, prostitutes and noisy people staying there. The entire time I was there my head was very itchy and I kept thinking I was having an allergic reaction to hair spray or shampoo or something else. Lo and behold when I used a fine tooth comb when I returned home on June 28th I was shocked to find I was loaded with lice. I tried over the counter remedies to no avail. I had to go to the Dr and had to get a prescription which cost $120 in addition to having to wash every bit of my clothes in hot water. I called and spoke to the district manager on July 2nd who told me she would report to corporate office and get back to me the next day.
Here we are on July 16th no return call and I have called 4 times. No response. The hotel cost me approximately $1,200 for the 3 weeks, $120 for the prescription and $200 for the Dr. I told district I wanted all of my money back and told me she would report that. Next step is legal action. Never again will I stay with them.

The manager was very unprofessional. We stayed there previously and had poor service and accommodations, so we wrote a bad review. The manager at the time wrote an email and said he was sorry about our stay at motel 6 in Anaheim, CA and was going to give us a two-night stay free whenever we wanted in future. So we called about it and there's another manager working now, and he was very rude on the phone and said all we can do is a ten percent discount. And if we didn't like it, we couldn't stay there, and hung up on us! I thought that was very rude and unprofessional he was. Is there anything I can do now?

Why do they keep changing the price on me? I talked to KEYERA from the customer RSVP line, when I was quoted 356.64. Now they are telling me that it's gonna be 378.64. I'm so upset and not sure where these extra charges are coming from, but I would want everybody else to know what tricks they play. I need to speak to a manager asap.

I would never stay at this motel again and I hope anybody with a rightful mind wouldn't either. The assistant manager Holly was very rude and acted like she did not want to hear my complaint in the morning about the neighbors partying next door. When I asked to speak to the real manager she refused saying she would handle it. The housekeeping staff was friendly but the room had a faint smoke smell.

I checked into a room at the Motel 6 in Brinkley Arkansas and I went to the room and started to get comfy because the room looked OK. I got up to brush my teeth and saw a mosquito. I turned on all the light "3" of them and the room was infested with them. While standing there looking at these I saw a tiny round bug on the mirror. I promptly gathered my things and went to the front desk and told them about this infestation and they kinda looked at each other like oh crap they're back again.
I asked for a refund and the lady told me only her Manager could issue a refund and she said he might be in one day next week. I thought this real sucked but as soon as it posts I will contact the credit card company and let them fight it out with Motel 6. As for this motel chain is concerned they are dead to me and everyone I can tell this to. What's the sense of having a good price if you are running a third rate brothel and I apologize to all the brothels in the world for dragging them down to Motel 6 standards.

This company does not care about their employees whatsoever. Speaking from experience, my wife was a manager for the company. They transferred us from Venice, Florida to Destin, Florida to manage this place as they needed it so badly. However, road gas allowances and moving allowances, my wife was not notified about what she could and could not do. So the company did a review on her and fired her over a simple gas receipt - where she got gas for the U-Haul truck that they rented. But the company U-Haul gave her the truck two days early because the truck was not reserved, very kind of them, but the gas receipt does not match up with the day that the company has for the U-Haul truck and they don't care. They're claiming she stole gas when U-Haul had courtesy enough to let her take the truck and load it two days earlier, knowing that we had a lot to do in a short time.
However upon getting the truck, it needed fuel. My wife gassed it up with the company expenses as she thought she was doing right. And they are firing her because U-Haul gave her the truck two days earlier and they don't want to hear it. How's that for caring about people and employees? I would not rent a place here if it was the last place on earth, nor what I recommend anybody ever coming to work for this company.
They moved us 500 miles away from our hometown to fire my wife a short time later. And we don't have anywhere to go or any place to live as she was an on-site manager. This was our place to live and her job, and we have nowhere to go and no way to get there. Very nice of them to give us a seven day notice to get out of their property unfairly. Thank you very much, Motel 6 Venice - very lovely to do business with you. My family is now homeless due to you. Over I'm easily $88 gas receipt - that was for your move. I will take further action on our losses.

We stopped at Motel 6 in Pocatello ID 83202, on June 23, 2015. To start with the room stunk really bad. There was a no smoking sign on the door. The room was not clean white powder all over the floor, it had not been swept or mopped. No coffee in our room, no bucket for ice no nothing. The TV didn't work there were no batteries in the remote. It was after 10 at night they wanted me to come and get batteries. We were in the last room the one farthest away from the office. They did send a fix it man. He was there about 30 minutes. But he finally got it fixed. I can assure you we, my husband and I will never select any Motel 6 again.

We made reservations for two rooms at the Motel 6 in Waxahachie, TX, for the third night of our move from SW Utah to Houston. As soon as we entered the rooms we saw roaches crawling on the floors. They were also under rugs and between mattresses. While my wife started to gather our belongings, I went to the front desk and informed them that we had to leave, could not stay, as the rooms were infested with bugs. The front desk person didn't say anything. I asked if there was another Motel 6 around and he provided directions. I asked if that hotel was without bugs and he nodded yes. We left the roach-infested hotel, turning in our room keys and went to the other Motel 6.
3 weeks later, after finally getting settled in our new home, I noticed on our bank statement that we were still being charged for the two roach infested rooms. Even after calling the Motel 6 corporate office basically told me to pound salt. They offered to send a coupon for a one-night, one-room free stay but would not credit back the charge. They got our money for two rooms at their other location, but still charged us for two roach infested rooms for that same night. And we spent less than 5 minutes in those rooms, immediately seeing roaches all over the place. I didn't accept their coupon offer as I will never again stay at a Motel 6. Be careful and read the reviews. Many are dumps and bug infested. Absolutely the worst hotel I have stayed at in all of my 60 years. Stay away from Motel 6. You are taking a huge risk booking a room at their hotels.

My husband and I drive a truck and we broke down and had to put truck in shop. Truck repair shop is paying for our room until truck is fixed cause we are very short on money. We have been here for 2 days. Got up on the 3rd day. They tell us truck is almost ready. My husband goes and talks to lady at front desk and tells her that repair shop is coming to pick him up then he will be coming back to pick up me and our 3 dogs. She says "No problem, they can stay even if you go over the 12 checkout with no charge." After he left she calls me and says I have to come and pay for another night NOW! I told her he would be right back but she said I need to pay or get out. I told her "I guess me and the dogs will sit out on curb (106*) till he gets back." She said "OK COOL".

I have been at one other Motel 6 in the area. Very clean rooms and pool but at night someone was cooking crack and selling it to the construction works who then were fighting the parking lot on who smoked the last rock...but we stayed. So I thought after all the commercials on the radio, things have changed, so I looked this one up. The pics were real nice. So I booked for me and my son to have a cheap little vacation 'cause I don't make much.
The room was really nasty - holes in the sheets and the walls look like a blind person painted them...the tub had a black ring around it. Me and my son, 'cause of a lack of money and my check not hitting the bank 'til Friday, was going to just bear with it and make the best of it 'til BAM...someone ODs 4 doors down. So we had to leave and drive straight back home in Augusta, GA. And I was told I could only get one day refunded (and I was on in there for 4 hrs).
I will be seeing a lawyer to see my rights or you can just give me the whole 96 dollars back and I will let it go. Not only did I waste my money, but ruined my only vacation with my only son who is growing up fast. This will be posted to Facebook with your number and address if I do not get a reply. Also why do employees get to bring their babies to work and run around and their thug-looking boyfriends hang out in the lobby?

We arrived at Motel 6 on E Street in Marysville, CA because the Apartment we rented the A.C went out and they couldn't get anyone to fix it over the 4th of July holiday. My children age 2 and 9 months and my sig other went ahead and got a room. After an hour or so we noticed COCKROACHES! We told the owner and they did give us another room. Then when we woke up the toilet had leaked and When I told the owner they accused us of lying and said we put the bugs there! WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS IS THIS?? I took pictures and MY MOM IS APPALLED THAT they TREATED US LIKE THIS! I guess because we were young with small children he thought we were homeless and that's the WAY they treat people they think have no voice? I'm NOT SURE BUT THIS MOTEL HAS ROACHES! I can't believe a business owner treats his consumers this way! Shame on Motel 6 and if you're ever in Marysville, CA do not stay at Motel 6 on E Street!!

My disabled husband, adult son, large female dog and myself stayed in Room 111 at the Brattleboro VT Motel 6 on Sunday June 30, 2015. We arrived around 9 PM. At first entrance to our room, there was a very strong gagging smoky smell (non-smoking motel); the door did not lock properly and there was a pee spray from a male dog on the wall near the door. I requested a change of room but was told there were none available on the first floor. I was provided a can of room spray to use and return immediately. The smoke alarm was going off and reception gave ME a new battery to install in the alarm. Our son stood on the bed and replaced the battery. A young male employee arrived an hour later to check on the smoke alarm; he stood in the doorway but did nothing as all was quiet then. The acrid smoke smell was in all the furnishings and made it difficult for us to breathe.
My husband is a heart patient and the smoke aggravated his congestion. Our son had the bed nearest the window; in order to breathe, he had to have the window wide open the whole time. Between 2 AM & 3 AM the smoke alarm started back up and no matter how much fussing, it would not stop chirping. My husband had to go out to our vehicle to try to get some sleep. By 5 AM I was so grumpy from lack of sleep (I am the driver and had an 8 hour trip ahead of me) that I went back to the office and was finally given the handicap room with 1 bed, 2 doors down from ours. My husband and I got a couple hours of smoke free sleep!
At checkout I commented that I should be given a refund for the horrible situation, but I was not. Each time I went back to the office, there was a new person on the desk, unaware of the situation. The following day I drove us home. LESS than 48 hours later my husband went to the Emergency Room at the Hospital with congestive heart failure.
We have stayed at the Brattleboro VT Motel 6 several times in the past with no complaints and a friendly helpful staff. This time was anything but. I feel I should be given a full or partial refund since a non-smoking motel should not have such an acrid smoky smell with a smoke alarm constantly going off which disturbs any chance of sleep.

I stayed at the location in San Antonio, Tx on 1604 and Bandera. I accidentally created 2 reservations and was charged for both! We stayed with them 1 night and I looked at my bank transactions and noticed the 2 charges. I called to see if this could be removed as we did stay with them. I was told that the manager would contact me and that she was out of town. I called everyday, only to get the same answer. I called Saturday morning and lo and behold, she's there and answers the phone! She yells at me, tells me it's my fault and hangs up in my face!
I walked over there as I work next door and she refused to talk to me. I requested the number to the complaint department and/or her supervisor and she stated that she would not give it to me and left the office and refused to come back in until I left. The absolute worst business ever! The way she went about it was very rude and unprofessional as a "manager". As I work next door, I will be sure to let everyone that comes into my office not to stay there! I will also be reporting them the BBB!! Also, as soon as we got there, there was a roach that crawled across the bed and the room reeked of cigarettes!

When we checked in, the front desk couldn't find my reservations even after showing him the email confirmation on my phone... After getting checked in about 30 mins later, a bug man came pounding on our door saying the manager says he suppose to spray each room whether or not the guest is in the room. Also front desk called us at 1 am to see if we were checking in today. (I acknowledged that we were already checked in!) And why was she calling at 1 am? (She gave a lame excuse.) It rained that night and because of the front door being totally crooked (I took pictures) the floor had a big puddle of water. We happily checked out at 9 am and booked a room at LaQuinta that was next door, and we didn't mind paying $30 more than that horrible Motel 6 in Hutchins, TX. Will NEVER book at a Motel 6 EVER AGAIN!!!

After driving 15 hours and making a reservation we get to the motel in grants pass Oregon to find they don't have our room available or any rooms for that matter and there are no motels within 100 miles that have any available rooms. Now after calling every possible number to find a solution to this problem nothing is fixed. We will have to sleep in our car. The front desk lady laugh directly in our face during all of this. This is the most unbelievably bad service I have ever heard had to deal with. Words cannot even begin to describe how completely furious I am. This is downright unexceptionable.

I arrived around midnight and was very tired. My check-in was a challenging effort. Due to the late hour I needed to use the small window rather than the lobby. A soft-spoken woman processed me in. It was very difficult for me to hear her as there were refrigerated vending machines and a very noisy air conditioner unit in the vestibule on my side of the window. I kept asking the woman to repeat herself. At one point I told her that I was sorry I couldn't hear her, but there was so much noise in the vestibule. She acted unconcerned and in fact walked away from the window to do things while checking me in on more than one occasion. This made it absolutely impossible for me to hear her.
I chose to make the most of the bad situation because of the late hour and being so tired. I just went along with the routine that I would expect for checking into a motel without really hearing any of the comments or direction from the unengaged young woman behind the window. Little did I know that this experience would be the most positive of the entire stay!!!
I will list the conditions that I encountered: The room door was stuck to the point that I had to hit it with my shoulder to get the door open. The PTAC (AC unit) did not have a temp adjustment knob so I was not able to set a comfort level. The PTAC discharge into the room was full of dirt... The remote for the TV did not function. I did get the set turned on at the set, but there was virtually no reception worthy of watching and consequently useless. The room was dirty and the bedspread was stained in several spots and general dirty. There were light fixtures with missing light bulbs, consequently the room was dimly light. (Perhaps to help hid the fact that the room was dirty?) No phone in the room to call the front desk. There was NO hot water at all. I let the faucet run for about 15 minutes and nothing but cold water. This was again the case in the morning.
There was black mildew and mold in the seams of the fiberglass shower enclosure. The shower head was all limed and calciumed up, yielding a poor spray. The sink was a semi-circular bowl and when you turned on the faucet all the water went right up the side of the bowl all over the front me. The smoke detector had been removed. When I walked from the shower to the bed, the bottom of my feet were black with dirt and I had to wash them with a cloth before getting into bed.The pool was drained and had things in the bottom of the empty pool. (This was not a huge concern as I didn't plan to use the pool, but was an amenity that I was paying for that was unavailable).
The final and most unacceptable event happened when I checked out. I ask for the manager and this younger woman identified herself as the Assistant Manager and wanted to know how she could help me. I told her that this motel experience was the most unacceptable motel experience of my entire life. And I proceeded to tell her some of the unacceptable things I had found in the room. I finished my summary with "you should be ashamed to charge $100 a night for a room like that." She offered no apology, excuse or remedy for this very unhappy customer. In fact, a male person who I can only assume was a co-worker (under her direction is she really was the Assistant Manager) spoke up and said, "** you **."
I told them both that I would be contacting Motel 6 Corporate Headquarters to report their unacceptable behavior and comments. I left without further interaction. Any Assistant Manager and employee who would be a part in treating a paying customer like this should not be an employee. I immediately got on my cell phone to the Customer service number on the Motel 6 website. I was on hold for 45 minutes and the call was dropped. This is unacceptable also and perhaps a consideration of why my experience was as it was. Management does not seem to be modeling good customer service behavior, so what is to be expected of employees?

While at DFW airport, I booked on Expedia Motel 6 @ 7800 Heathrow Drive (Irving, Tx). I called the hotel to see where I needed to catch the shuttle. The young lady on the phone was very detailed, and I wrote down her instructions. She told me to go to E35 "ground level" (I explained to her I was at baggage claim E34) I did exactly what she said. After about 45min of waiting on the van that says "Hotel connections" my husband called & someone told him to go to terminal A1 OR C1. Well, not being from TX I had no idea what to do, this airport has several construction areas.
So, I called the hotel about 5 times no answer, I wanted to speak to a manager. Hoping the manager could give us the exact location to be so we could catch the shuttle. I was put on hold for about 5 minutes before calling back and waiting another 2 minutes for the manager. I explained to him all I wanted to do was find the shuttle so I could go check in, at this point It was going in 1 hour and 10 min of waiting or trying to find the shuttle pickup. I heard the manager ask someone else where to go catch the shuttle he told me D1 or D40. I asked "could the driver just come where we are?". He said "if you want I can cancel the reservations", stunned I said "sir I'm tired and I'm just trying to get to your hotel".
I knew if he cancelled the reservations that my money would be tied up through Expedia for 3 to7 days (I did regret making that reservations through Expedia at this time). So he repeated for me to go to D1 or D40. I got off the phone and we took about 10 more minutes trying to figure out how to get to the pickup location. My husband found out we had to take a terminal van to the correct letter terminal. Well going to terminal D in a van was about a 7 to 9 minute ride. HUGE airport. Walking was out of the question.
Once we arrived at the correct terminal we waited there about 15 to 25 min, now we are going on 2 hours of waiting for a shuttle bus to the hotel. I called back to the hotel to see if they could radio the driver to let him know we are waiting. Which they did do. Once in the van we rode to another terminal to pick up a couple who was sitting in clear view as the van pulled up. The driver never got out of the van to address the couple, so we are sitting for about 5 minutes and my husband asked "why are we waiting?" He said "I'm waiting on a couple". So my husband starts to explain that we are tired, it's been 2 hours almost that we've been waiting. The driver says "I go where they tell me to go".
Something is mentioned over the radio and the driver gets out of the van to address the couple that has been sitting there all along. The couple told us the driver said "didn't you see my sign?" They explained to us that's not what they are used to, the driver never got out the van. So we leave and circle back around the airport which was a good 6 minute ride and guess where we end up???? At E35... Where we were originally waiting for 45 minutes, where an additional 3 people were picked up.
I WILL NEVER STAY AT ANOTHER MOTEL 6 or BOOK THROUGH EXPEDIA AGAIN. The room was comfortable, and clean. I have nothing bad to say about the room. However, when I went to check out, the front desk clerk told me I have to print my receipt from Expedia. I have never heard that. Overall I didn't like how the manager handle the phone call, nor did I agree with no one really being able to give me a precise location to wait for the shuttle upon my first time calling. I've learned you get what you pay for, I would have paid more for better service. While waiting at the airport I saw several Westin, Embassy Suites, Sheraton, Holiday Inn etc, shuttles that were timely, professional and neat.

Apparently the crew of the Motel 6 at National City, CA #4829 1125 E. Plaza Blvd, National City, CA 91950, got angry at my wife for taking the extra TOILET PAPER home after we checked out. The next time we checked in, the receptionist made us put a $20 deposit. I asked her why and she said that people had been taking things and that we were going to have our room checked before we left. That was the only thing we took, the extra toilet paper that Motel buys in bunches and probably costs them twenty to thirty cents a roll, if not less. We pay over $100 per stay at that location... What class-less personnel work there??? I asked the other guests about their deposit and they told me they were not required one.

I stayed at Motel 6 at 700 W. Expressway 83 in Mcallen, Texas on 06/21/2018 for one day. While I was in the Valley visiting my family I stayed here because this one location was near my grand kids. But to my surprise this Motel was the worst Motel I have stayed in while I travel to the Valley. The room was very small... The beds were very small and we had a 20" old fashion boxed TV in the room... The shower had no pressure and the temperature kept going from cold to hot. I was very disappointed. I did let the front desk know, because she called within 15 minutes of us being there. All she said was something about their remodeling done by August. That was going to make my stay more comfortable.
I didn't ask if I could get a refund because when she asked about my stay she should've offered to refund my stay, but she didn't. She just came up with "I'm sorry". Very disgusted by this location. I didn't leave because I didn't want to be dragging my grand kids around trying to find a Motel/Hotel. To top it off, I had to pay $2.99 for internet service. That totaling my bill to $62.78...while not only had to pay for it, but internet was not a stable connect...

We had reserved a room at the 5353 Midland Rd, Billings, MT 59101 location in which during the reservation process they tried saying the rooms are $77.03 plus tax even though the price listed in building and is the common price around the state is actually 65 plus tax. When we got there, there was no one at the front desk and no one answered the phone. We sat there for 25 minutes with one customer coming in with us and leaving. I even did a walk through to see if perhaps the clerk was helping a customer with their room but saw nothing but a big bag of trash (50-gallon bag) sitting in the hallway.
So we go to the Motel 6 just down the road, find out from the clerk there that they've been having problems at the other location. So she cancels a non-guarantee room and puts us in there and charges for only one person and says she's giving us a military discount (she didn't, I checked the receipt, but I'm glad for that as we're not military and she shouldn't be handing out that discount willy-nilly to appease rightfully pissed customers). Then when we got to the room it smelled--couldn't place the smell it was throughout the room, and light and vague but definitely present. And oh god the beds, they were so freaking old that the springs in them would stick then pop back out after you moved, it felt like being punched all night. Not impressed at all and hope to never grace another one with my presence.

I understand that the nightly prices go up past $108.99, which isn't right. Your motel doesn't offer any food, or internet like other motels/hotels. Many of your guests park on the handicap spaces, and during the winter the handicap area should be free of snow. There should be handicap ramps for all curbs. There should be part of your policy, no drinking, & no drugs. When any guests stay at your motel all your employees should always smile. All the employees should know how to remove any stain, and vacuum the beds on both sides. When something happens, and the guests always pays. You should give the guests credit. But you don't..

And had to pay $4.99 for wifi. Every motel/hotel I have stayed at it's free. I will never stay at motel 6 again. The next day same town I went to Howard Johnson's, got everything and a really clean nice room for $49.00. Motel 6 you lose. This motel 6 was in South Lake Tahoe.

Motel 6 on white Ln. Bakersfield CA. I just got the room I wanted - smoke free room. It smells like smoke and the bedspread looks really worn and had a big cigarette burn. I am truly disappointed on how this place is. I have stayed in Motel 6 throughout my travels and it's sad you don't check your business places out and keep them up to Standard. Don't you send out to check out your places?

Easy on the budget, hard on your back. If you're willing to make sacrifices like no breakfast, shampoo, soap the width of a credit card, hard lumpy bed, flat pillows, dirty rooms and bathrooms, left over items under the bed from previous occupants, then it's a great place to stay.

I wrote a review yesterday when I was denied the rate that I was quoted when I was paying for the room. Since then, the general manager, **, has since reviewed the reservation and although the staff member was not supposed to block off the reservation with a special rate, she did and because of that, he advised that he has to honor that and since charged me the rate I was quoted. I am very happy with the result and would like to make sure that you know this and that the problem has now been resolved. Many thanks for your website. Take care.

I booked the room with Motel 6 May 25, 2015 at 7:50 p.m. with **. She confirmed the senior rate at $89.99 per night from June 12 - June 19 inclusive. Reservation number is **. When we arrived (very late) on June 12, I checked with the fellow at the desk (very pleasant fellow) who confirmed to me to just pay for 4 days if I wanted to and I could square up with them in the next couple of days. When I went to pay for the remaining leg of our stay, a smart ** East Indian boy named ** told me the price was $189.99. I then was passed on to the manager who was at home ** who told his boy employee that if I didn't like it to leave. Please let me know if there is anything I can do about this.

Reservations made April 2014. No mention of chain change, or of hot breakfast mentioned when reservations were confirmed. Dirty bedding left on some beds from previous guests. Dirty towels left in room for the next guest. They were not washed. Half of the rooms reserved only had one bed per room. Most of the bus of 32 were men. Only 7 females. Air conditioning units in some rooms did not work. The temperature was 93 degrees for two days. One toilet was broken for two days. Carpets in majority of areas were not vacuumed. Pet friendly yes, clumps of white dog hair covered north landing and steps between floors two and three. Entry light to room had no fixture just wires hanging. Towel rack hanging by one nail, bottom 2" nail hanging free.
NO HOT water from June 10th early evening until June 11th at 10 00 p.m. No extra pillows for a roll away bed for a member of our bus. "We don't have any extra pillows." 1/4 of the elderly men were housed on the third floor. Most used canes to walk. No elevator for use. Ice machine did not function on first floor. "Use ice machine on second floor." Soda in cooler expiration dates of February 2014. Owner was there on Tuesday night when we checked in. Never seen her again. She must have been across the street at the upscale hotel she owned. I'm writing this on behalf of five members of our group. We could have stayed on the bus for the non existent service we didn't receive. My opinion that building should be shut down. Our stay was in Sedalia Missouri.

I booked a room thru Booking.com for Pocatello Idaho on June 12th. I was given room 127. Upon opening the door I could tell the floor had not been cleaned, so I then checked the beds which neither bed had been changed. Upon further inspection I found the phone to be filthy, ice tub very dirty, shower curtain stained and still wet from the previous guest, hair all over the shower. The manager (at least I think that's who it was) came and changed the bedding although left the dirty bedspreads on the bed put a new ice tub in and changed out the shower curtain. To me this is unacceptable. As a company someone should come to this location and show them what a clean room is.

My friend and I came to Motel 6 in Decatur GA on Candler Road.. When we got there we asked about the weekly rate price that was posted outside that's what got our attention.. But once I came in and ask the attendant she proclaimed that that wasn't the rate anymore. To top it off I still got the room and lo and behold they only had channels from 61-86 (unacceptable). So I try to use the room telephone and that wasn't working or on. Thank God we have cells. So we both went to complain and nothing happened... I also encountered a bedbug sucking my blood.

We checked into Motel 6 on Black Canyon Hwy after an exhausting 29 hour drive from Memphis, TN. We walk into the room that reeks of cigarette smoke although we asked for nonsmoking. Our sinuses were under attack already! We go to take a shower and no shampoo. I had to use bar soap to wash down my hair. That was nasty! We tried to use the wifi to contact some friends we were trying to contact in Phoenix and check our bank balances. Could not because you had to have a prepaid visa card to purchase minutes for the wifi. What!!! With as exhausted that we were, we would have to get dressed, go find a place that had prepaid cards just to access the internet and in a not-too-safe area of town on top of that??? Motel 6 may think they are saving money, but they will lose customers and business if they keep skimming off the top.

Pulled over to sleep for a few hours at a Motel 6 in Utah with my newborn, 2 year old, 8 year old, and husband. First entering the room, the room smelled like someone had just gone to the bathroom. I checked the beds like I normally do and found lots of long hairs all throughout the bed. There were also stains all over the bed and then the worst part is that after extensive searching I found a large bed bug on the bed that my oldest son was laying on. We immediately packed our things and left. I told the office and they gave me a refund. I also called corporate and they had an investigation done which they contacted me to tell me that their investigation came back positive for bed bug activity in that room. They then offered us a free stay at the Motel 6 of our choice like we would EVER stay at a Motel 6 again.

There was maltreatment by a latino housekeeping male, of which I've got a witness that he has a bad attitude. I complained to corporate, and heard six times "Oh, we don't do things that way". And was told I would be called back by corporate the next day. It did not happen that way. The ** female manager decided to side with the offender, because she believes that I am "inebriated" all the time. Yes, I do drink beer. I do not drive when I test over .08 with my own breath tester. I am a responsible user of my preferred medication, beer. I have never been inebriated here, just medicated. I was booked and paid up to 5/12/2015 due to having being evicted from my apartment due to a fire by the management there, who should have transferred me to an apartment that they were advertising was available there, as per the lease agreement.
This was the most appropriate location to temporally be housed pending a successful search for an apartment, which I have been turned down at one. The manager is a tee totaler, and a tee totaler is sensitive to so much as one beer. This is the basis of her siding with the minimum wage latino, instead of an advance paid up customer. Because of the event with the latino male, she came up with rules and regulations that seemed oppressive. I asked for a reasonable accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act, and she did not respect that. I was told that I would be able to stay through 5/13/2015 which was necessitated due to the fact that my direct deposit would not occur until then, and I was exhausted of resources.
The new rules arbitrarily imposed then were that I could not walk my dog shirtless, I could not go bare foot outside (and there is a pool just three doors down from me, not equipped with a dressing room), I could not sit in a chair, in my paid for room, in exterior shorts, shirtless, with the door open to enjoy the fresh spring air. I felt that I was being unfairly treated. But being transplanted from another state, I tried to emerge from a state of ignorance of the laws of the state of Tennessee. I could not find the laws of the state of Tennessee with respect to a "dress code" at a public accommodating. So I called the police department for advisement. They will not do that over the phone. So a 1 Blue had to come and speak with me.
I was advised that I am fully in my rights, so long as I am not exposing genitalia (of which I have never, ever done) to be dressed as I choose, unless the facility has a "Rules and Regulations" in document form to be available to the customer. I was also advised to go ask if they had such. So, I go to the night window, as I was banned from the lobby. I was told that they did not have such. Later, I was visited by 4 Blues and questioned. Long story short, they left, and I remained. This was 5/11/2015. The next day the manager arbitrarily revoked my paid up stay. I had to scurry out to somewhere else ASAP! She did not even care that could really mean that I would be standing out in the rain! Suits are in the works.

Motel 6 Findlay, OH - I made my reservations a month in advance online so there was no problem there. The program occurred once I checked in to this dump. I came to town for graduation weekend for my daughter from Bowling Green University upon arrival I pulled into the parking lot. In the parking I see a Loveseat and several chairs set out away from the building in a circle like this easy where you came to smoke. As I parked my car I look around and saw possibly college students sitting in the window of the ground floor rooms. This person had their back to the room and feet on the ground outside. As I continue to look around I observed several portable charcoal B.B.Q's knocked over and laying in the gravel outside the room a car missing its licence plates and bicycles chained to anything solid.
At check in presented my military I.D. in order to get the military discount and did receive it no problem. The clerk simply told me the price and room had to ask twice for directions to the room. As I walked down the hall, the building smelled of stale cigarette smoke. Upon arrival into the room I observed two beds neatly made with very well worn bedspreads. I turned on the air conditioning... it worked although very loud. Next I attempted to turn the television on, looked around and found the remote or should I say what was left of the remote. The remote was on the table a small black universal remote held together by scotch tape (I have a feeling that it had been tossed around and hit the floor or the wall a few times). I attempted to turn the television on and attempted to adjust the volume so I could hear the television over the loud air conditioning with the remote.
The volume went up slightly so I attempted to adjust the volume on the television. It raised the volume up approximately a quarter of the way and stopped. No matter what I did I could not adjust the volume of the television loud enough to hear the TV over the a/c. When I checked into my room I observed a nice small refrigerator and a microwave oven. I opened the refrigerator to place some items in, it was not very cold, in fact it was far from cold. I looked inside with the theory that maybe the temperature was turned up to save energy. No thermostat inside looked on the back. Yes there was a thermostat only one problem it didn't work.
Next I started turning on lights the two back by the bed worked the one by the mirror did not. The room had obviously been painted at least once as you could see almost as much paint on the wood trim of the mirror and other pieces of furniture as was on the wall. The carpet was a lovely shade of green with what I suspect was black from someone's oily work boots. House cleaning did make the bed and vacuum the room, did not worry about the edges just the center. Time for a shower, apparently they had a problem in the ceiling as you could see an attempted patch job in the ceiling drywall trying to add texture must be coming later. The same person who walked into the room with the black substance on their shoes also climbed into the bathtub, a feeble attempt may have been made to clean it up. The tub surround showed signs of mold and mildew from moisture behind the tub.
Overall I got a cheap place for a cheap price. I suspect that this place is party central when the college is in session. I am happy that it was just me and not me and my wife. She would not of been so patient. Suggestion, if Motel 6 is renovating their motels invest some money in this building or level it for parking for one the restaurant/bar/ fast food chains in the area. I will definitely think twice before I stay at a Motel 6 again in the near future.

This year alone, we have gone to OKC from KY, KY to CA. And KY to Katy, TX. Most of the time staying at Motel 6, always asking for ground floor, always getting it if at all possible. This time we were assured we would have a ground floor but upon learning about our dog, told we would have to be on the third floor. I put up with small bed - not very comfortable - and strip down rooms because of the ease of finding a Motel 6 and the dog friendliness. But if I can't count on you, I will have to stay somewhere else. We travel for our business and spend 1/2 year in hotel/motels. Disappointed. P.S. If it hadn't been so late, we would have made a different decision.

I have stayed at many Motel 6 and have had wonderful stay, but this stay at motel 6 in Cayce South Carolina has been one nightmare that I soon not forget. First the room was not clean correctly, I found dirty cloth from the previous guest in the drawers, my towels was not clean. Housekeeping didn't take out the trash and when I called to ask questions about the trash being removed I was told that it can't be taken out until the next day. Nothing was done to make my stay better. This motel needs to be upgraded badly. I had no response from management team at all. I will not recommend this motel to anyone and I wish Travelocity would take them off of their list.

I stayed at a Motel 6 in Phoenix, AZ on the 28th and the 29th. The room was ok so we thought, but in further examination of the room, there was one towel for me and my niece to use, and the pillow cases had mold. Those were changed THANK God. My biggest issue though is that they charged me twice and even after showing them my bank statement showing the double charge, I still have yet to get a refund. To add injury to insult, I called and was told the manager would call me back, of course you guessed it, she didn't. I asked for Corporate number and was given the 1800 Motel 6 reservation number. I will not stop calling them til my money is refunded. Don't stay to the Motel 6 on Black Canyon Highway, they'll rob you blind.

This is about the Motel-hell 6 on 6172 Commercial Way in Springhill FL 35606. 352-596-2007. I booked online 3/21/15 at 11 am for a 3 pm check in. We arrived at 2:15 just to check-in. I was told by ** the mgr that the room I booked wasn't available. I told him it showed 2, he said, "Well the system has been making mistakes." I told him I'll take whatever's available, he said I needed to call the number I booked with since he doesn't have the capability to change it. As I went thru that 20 min ordeal the CSR on the line said he can - he just doesn't want to. Okay, so I finally got that mess completed. As I was waiting to get another room another customer was trying to book. ** told him what was available and ironically it was the same room I was just told wasn't available??? He got so frustrated with the run around he left.
I told **, "Wait a minute. You told me the king size wasn't available," he said "It is - with a fridge." I said, "Why couldn't you of gave me that one?" He said, "It's $5.00 more," I said, "Couldn't I give you the difference?" "No you have cancel then rebook." Finally we got a miserable room! In all my years of traveling for business I've never been in a hotel that doesn't have a coffee pot, then they only give you 2 - yes 2 - towels. There were 3, my husband, myself and our 2 year old son. The reason they only give you 2, as I found on a card in the room said it's because they're eco friendly?? I don't know about anyone else but I won't dry my face in the morning with the towel that I dried my ass with the night before.
They don't offer any type of shampoo and 1 little sliver of soap. So after a trip to Dollar General for items just to shower with, we turned the sheets down only to find some sort of skid marks. I asked for clean ones and was told housekeeping was closed?? I guess eco-friendly means they don't wash the sheets either. So we flipped and turned them over, then realized the fridge we paid $5.00 extra for didn't work nor did the telephone, and there's no alarm clock either. When my husband went to get ice, there was an out of order sign on it. Also the pillows are paper thin. I'm more so aggravated with myself for not checking the reviews. This was the worst hotel experience I've ever had, please save your money. I should of threw $110.00 out the window and slept in the car at least I wouldn't of had a bug crawl on me like I found in the bathroom.

We are HUGE fans of Motel 6 as we rescue small dogs and transport them at times as well as have our own. You are always so friendly and accommodating and we've never had a bad experience. HOWEVER, on our trip down to Florida from Colorado on December 5th, we had reserved a room at the Motel 6 #** and checked in, got a good night's sleep and went to shower in the morning and were APPALLED at the amount of mold in the bathroom and in the shower. There is NO reason it should have been like this and is actually quite a health hazard.
I have attached some photos I took. I was going to post this everywhere, but thought I'd give you the chance to respond. Needless to say, we did NOT shower.

I actually contacted Guest Relations and your corporate offices and never got a response from anyone. Guess maybe their light isn't on???

I stayed at the Motel 6 in Fresno, CA on Barcus Ave. next to freeway 99 on Shaw Ave. The first room they put me in was about 15 ft. from the freeway and facing it. When I complained they switched me to another room. In that one the air conditioning/heating unit didn't work. I was then switched again, within one day the TV didn't work in that room. I was then switched yet once again to a room where it, up to this point, if fully functional. I stayed there 4 nights and in addition to the rooms being switched often I got no cleaning service one day, and got $250 dollars taken from my room. When I addressed the management about the theft they only replied "we can't do anything about that." No sympathy, attempt to rectify it, nothing.
I also notice a great deal of prostitution and drugs being run through here, and all the staff seems to turn their back on that issue like it doesn't exist even though it is very obvious.

I go to the desk to complain and was told they're sorry this happen the other day too and was handed a new set of bedding and had to change the bedding and put the new stuff on myself. We wanted to leave but didn't wanna drag a 1-yo out in 5-degree weather so we stuck it out and were informed the manager would be in tomorrow. So the next day we leave for a trip we had scheduled in the area we return around 3 pm as we were told the manager would be there and he wasn't upon leaving this motel 6.
We get pulled over and our car surrounded by cops searched and our car ripped apart and they found nothing of course then the police inform us the reason being is because we just left a well known drug hotel. Well as if bloody sheets weren't bad enough. So now 2 days later we finally talk to a manager and he tells us that it's not his problem and he will not give a refund. Then we call corporate and they tell us there is nothing they can do, call the manager back. So we call the manager back and he says "Now that you called corporate on me I'm really not giving you anything."
So really wtf kind of company is this? I wouldn't stay here again if they gave me a month free - this place is a joke and a brand new building for drugs to be sold while they watch it all happen. This is not the kind of place you wanna stay at not even for 10 bucks a night.

When I told her that was not true, she then asked me was I the lady who was with the guy who had the three children? I told her no. She put me on hold for 5 minutes and then told me I was banned because I had a person staying with me and I told them I was the only occupant. I paid for the room, whoever visits me is my business. I never had a problem before, so I did not think it would be a problem now.
I felt she was making excuses and being rather nosy. A lot of people get hotel/motel rooms for that very reason. To kick it with their friends. If someone stays over because they are drunk, it called being responsible and avoiding others from getting hurt. But to be banned is a little too much. I did nothing wrong. I have been renting from Motel 6 for years, and never had a problem. Because I am a private person, I tend to stay to myself. I just want to be able to rent again.

I stayed here for thirteen days, paying well over seven hundred dollars for myself and my service dog, Charlie to stay in this so-called "pet-friendly" motel. I quickly learned that Motel 6 is anything BUT pet-friendly and for that matter, not so "people-friendly" either when I arrived back to the motel one day to find a notice taped to my door from the Foothills Animal Shelter, stating that my service dog was taken by animal control officers and impounded at the local animal shelter. Apparently a pipe burst in the building that I was staying in and because "they" needed "immediate access" to my room while I wasn't there, they took it upon themselves to immediately come to the conclusion that I abandoned Charlie there. Also, all of my belongings in the room was gone. My key card didn't work so I couldn't even get in.
I immediately go to the animal shelter to claim my dog and am told that she is under "police custody" and that I would have to go to the police department for permission to get her back. This is even after informing them that she is a service animal, a seizure alert dog. The young man working behind the counter at the shelter basically tells me that I'm out of luck, so I leave the shelter empty-handed. To sum up my experience: I choose Motel 6 on accounts that they are "pet-friendly" while traveling with my beloved service dog. Motel 6 floods my room, damages all my belongings in said room, calls animal control on my service dog, gets her impounded.
And now I am unable to get her back unless I go "have a talk with" police officers and face possible criminal charges for "cruel and inhumane treatment" of my dog (because these ignorant employees at Motel 6 enters my room without notifying me) and moves all my belongings out, and impounds my dog to Animal Control without even attempting to contact me and fill me in on the state of my room and the fact that my dog is about to be taken away.
Since when is it okay for a motel to enter a customer's room without permission and/or prior notification, move out all the customer's belongings, and call animal control on the customer's pet/service dog without them even attempting to contact the customer first? Would they take away a blind person's seeing eye dog?

After temporarily moving from CA to FL I spent a lot of nights and money at the motel 6 on Apalachee Parkway in Downtown Tallahassee. Over months I developed a naive, false belief in the security, security of the property. At times I had to check out until a friend finished their workday, and dropped off money for the room. On Monday 2/16/15 at 4:00pm I foolishly left 3 large suitcases and a small duffle upstairs near the room while I went down to wait. I took my wallet, phone charger out of the duffel and (thank goodness) carried them in my jacket. When my friend finally came about an hour later, I paid, got the key and we headed upstairs. I was horrified, angry, shocked to find my small duffel was gone.
I want to be clear, I understand and know that leaving my bags there was obviously not a safe thing to do. The next morning I went into the manager's office and politely requested that he look at the camera for the staircase that was in the immediate area of my luggage. There are no cameras on the 2nd floor. However, I was hoping maybe it would show someone possibly leaving down the stairs with my bright pink duffel in their hands. He got an ugly defensive attitude, pretty much said it was my own fault and said he wouldn't look at anything unless the police ordered him to!
After the thousands of dollars I put into this business, I expected a little more compassion, respect. I already felt incredibly dumb, guilty, violated. Instead of this "person" showing a little common decency and respect. He talked down to me, and dismissed me. They'd rather sit on their butts, protect criminals than show a little human compassion to guests who put a lot of money into their pockets! A simple "I'm sorry that happened. There isn't anything I can do unless..." would have been a welcome and appreciated response. Instead this jackass kicked me when I was down and amplified the situation. By the way 3 or 4 of the overhead automatic lights were out for at least 3 nights. Since there's no camera upstairs, seems the least they could do is keep the lights maintained!

I will be going to hospital tomorrow because the worst bite looks infected. I have been staying there for more than 3 yrs. I don't think I will be staying there anymore. The facility have deteriorated - not the same anymore.

First I checked in at 3:30 am. We had to check out at 11:00am but it was so bad we stayed till 8:00am. First off me and my wife get in the room. It was freezing cold so I went to turn the heater on and it barely worked. It only had one speed - super slow. So my wife wanted to take a shower. The water didn't get hot at all. When we used toilet it wouldn't even flush the right way. You have to hold the handle down to make the toilet flush. Then I notice while I was using the toilet it wasn't a new roll of toilet paper on the roll on the spool which meant whoever stayed previously was using that same toilet roll. This is some unfair conditions. I'm not really a complainer but this was pathetic excuse for a place to sleep. Can’t use anything you need as a necessity - sad excuse for a motel chain. I brought my complaint to management and demanded for my back and he refused.

I've had to subject myself and 2 dogs to a filthy room and to top it off the indian owners treat you like ** along with their non speaking english mexican maids. I'm so disgusted with this motel. The crime rate is so high at this motel it's scary. Between paying way too much for any room there. Filthy. Beware. If you didn't come with bed bug bites you'll surely leave with them. To make it worst my dogs have bad effect by bug bites especially on their stomachs. Now they say motel 6 is pet friendly yeah right. The owners walks around with paper and pen asking if you have pets instead of making sure the tenants are safe and the room is clean. If you can afford another motel run... motel 6 harbor addicts, prostitutes, bank robbers. Police are always here. Not a nice place to stay. I will never stay at another motel 6. You're better off sleeping in your vehicle. The owners will not take responsibility for anything. You're on your own.

My family and I stayed at the Motel 6 in Suwanee. Check in at 8:50 found 2 roaches in my room at 00. I called the office and they gave me an attitude like I was responsible for the roach problem. The host asked me what I would like to do. I told her I would like a refund. She shortly called back and said that was not possible, they could change my room. I told her that wasn't okay because if there is 2 roaches that means there is an infestation. I'm about to go down to the office and address them in person.

This is my 5th visit to this Motel 6 within the past 3 months. My 1st visit, the room was cleaned very poorly. There was ** all over the toilet. The bathtub was dirty with hair all over in it. I turned the temperature up on the fridge. I went to the store and purchased items that needed refrigeration about 20 dollars worth, I put my food in the fridge & about 8 hours later I went to fridge to get a glass of milk. The fridge was still very warm. I checked to see if it was plugged in and checked to see if there was some reason it wasn't working... Needless to say I had to throw away everything I had put in the fridge. I went to the office and told him about the cleanliness of the room and the fridge. I was told there was nothing he could do until morning.
The next day I was gone, when I returned the fridge was still not working. I finally got a fridge that worked that late evening; it was 11 pm. I asked them to reimburse me for the items I had lost they said, "No, we're sorry." I have returned a second time; room was very dirty again. Each time I have returned the room was dirty and there is trash building up in front of my room under the stairwell. The 4th time visit the security lock; somehow locked me out of my room. I went to the office. They told me I had to wait for morning to get into my room; they said they would put me in a suite for the night. I told them that was unacceptable that my cell phone and all of my belongings were in that room. They told me that is all they could do for me. I asked them to get me a screwdriver and I would get in myself. I the consumer ended up climbing in an unlocked window. They not once apologized to me. Here I am again Jan 7 the 2015.

I checked into the Motel 6 on 323 Arsenal Rd. York Pa the morning of 12/26/2014. While unpacking, I noticed there was a large piece of bubble gum stuck to the floor between the beds. Housekeeping would not be arriving for another 3 hours, and I just didn't want to look at it that long. I called the front desk, and she came up to try to get it up with a plastic knife. She got most of it up, but not all of it. While she was trying, I also noticed that the sink was dirty with somebody's makeup. I also brought this to her attention, and she was very apologetic, and said she would send housekeeping up. Thirdly, the Wifi which they charge you for, did not work at all. These three things were brought to her attention which she informed the manager about.
Time went on, and I didn't hear from the manager, so I call down to the front desk. After I told him about the three things, this is what he said, "Would you like us to refund your money so that you can find another motel?" I said, "that was not the response I was looking for". I was hoping to hear, "We will accommodate you with another room that is clean and has a WiFi connection". He said, "You know what, I really want you to leave, why don't you just leave now!" I said, "I can't believe you are kicking me out, for what?" Because I complained about a dirty room and Wifi which I paid for? He said, "It just seems like we can't do anything to please you." I said, "You can please me with a clean room and a Wifi connection". He said, "no, that's ok, I want you to just go!" I couldn't believe that was happening to me! Unreal!!! So I called corporate. They called the manager, and they said that it was nothing they could do. If the manager wanted me out, I would have to leave. So I checked out and went to the one down the street, which was actually much cleaner.

I have never stayed at a Motel 6 before and only stopped because I couldn't make it to my destination. I checked in at about 4 am and when I got to the room, the first thing I saw was a large dark red (burgundy) color stain on the floor just inside the door. The carpet was obviously not vacuumed. There were sunflower seeds, many, many small white pieces of what looked like paint splatter on the carpet around the bed just under the lip of the mattress (I think it was lint, or pieces of the wall that was falling apart) and hair, lots of hair.
I pulled the bedding back and the very first thing I noticed was the pillow sticking out of an extremely thin case which was so old it was decomposing and had a large hole with the stuffing coming out of it. The side of the pillow that was sticking out of the case also had dark yellow stains along the side where it looked like it had been handled over the years. The other pillow was very old and lumpy (never put a cotton pillow in the dryer, it lumps up, they should be hung to dry) but it was in better condition than the first. The bed spread had what I believe was "personal" stains or urine stains on the underside which was obvious though the top was too hard to notice anything because of the busy pattern and colors. The sheets were so thin I could see directly through to the bed itself. The mattress had metal springs inside that made the bed extremely lumpy and squeak badly. I used my own jacket to keep warm because I was so disgusted with the blanket and bed spread. It was truly a miserable night sleep.
When checking in, I was told check-out was at 12 pm so I asked for a wake-up call at 11:30 so as not to sleep through. I was awaken by a housekeeper knocking on my door then walking into my room after telling them I was there and that I had a wake-up call to let me know when it was time to leave. About two minutes later another housekeeper knocked on my door and tried to enter the room. I told her to go away that I was checking out at 12 and that I was sleeping until my wake-up call. By now I'm too irritated to go back to sleep so I got up to take a quick shower. Here comes the worst part...
As I'm stepping into the shower I see two very long black hairs. One stuck and dried to the shower wall directly at eye level and the other near the water control knob. I threw water on them to get them unstuck and took my shower. When I went to dry off I opened the towel and there again, two more long black hairs. I threw the towel on the floor and got the other from the rack. Guess what??? More long black hair this time embedded into the towel as if they had been woven into the threads of the towel.
I cannot believe the housekeepers didn't see the hair when folding the towels. To me it shows incompetence or carelessness not only on the part of the housekeepers themselves but on the manager(s) as well. I thoroughly checked out the rest of the linen and the only pieces without hair in them were the wash cloths which I used to dry myself. While I'm drying myself, I noticed more hair, this time a smaller black hair and a few lighter color hairs around the sink and under some plastic cups and a tub which I believe is used for ice - why was that in the bathroom?
After dressing, I decided to do a more thorough check of the room and bathroom which I also decided to take video and pictures of. The bathroom floor was not swept at all. I found much more hair and "stuff" caked in the corners of the bathroom and behind the toilet there was yellowing at the base which only needed wiping off, I did it with a wad of toilet paper. In the shower I used my fingernail to scrape the dirt/soap build-up on the wall and hand bar. This leads me to believe there is absolutely no effort in trying to clean.
The phone rings - it's the wake-up call a half an hour late. I decided to call the manager to come up to see what I was seeing. The receptionist told me the manager does not go to the rooms and that I would need to come down if I wanted to speak with him. I took the towels and decomposing pillow and headed to the office. Just before I got to the office a lady stepped out from a doorway and said hello. I asked if she was the manager she said that she was the housekeeping manager. I asked her to meet me in reception because I had a few things to show her. After speaking with her (the motel manager never came out of his office to speak with me) she was very apologetic and said this should never have happened. From what I saw this has been happening for years with the rotting pillow and the dirt build-up in the bathroom. The receptionist said the pillow should be thrown away then the housekeeping manager took it from me along with the towels.
I also asked if there were procedures in place with regards to housekeepers and guests who are checking out at check-out time. How is it that the housekeepers didn't know I was still in the room? This was absolutely the worst experience I have ever had at any place of lodging in my 44 years on this planet. If I ever feel desperate for a place to sleep and the only choice is a Motel 6, I will instead sleep in my car on the side of the freeway. I travel often and just so happen to work in the hospitality industry myself and because this was such a horrible experience, I feel the need to warn as many people as necessary by any means necessary. I would like to make a suggestion to you Motel 6 - Please hire a team to separately travel around the country to stay undercover at your Motels to check on them. Obviously, relying on the manager's word isn't doing it. I shouldn't have expected much for $45.00 anyway, you get what you pay for.

After staying a few nights at the Hotel Circle Motel 6 I went to tuck in the sheets under the mattress and felt something under the bed. Lifting up the mattress I noticed a button-looking object. I reached to pick it up and felt a slight but sharp pain in my right forefinger. Looking closer at it I realized it was the head of a hypodermic needle. I have always been extremely phobic of needles for as long as I can remember, so needless to say I panicked and had a hard time sleeping that evening. The next morning I brought the needle to the front desk and asked for a manager only to be told that no one would be in for an hour or so. After finally talking to one, I was offered a complimentary night and was told they would do an incident report on Monday. I stayed an extra night at my expense in the hopes of talking to a manager and helping them with their incident report but was routinely avoided to the point that I felt this may be a common occurrence.
I was not offered an apology and I don't really feel that one comped night was hardly enough to make me feel good about the situation. I would like to know that they advised their cleaning staff of these types of things but they were not interested in talking to me about it. At this point, I don't think I would ever stay at a Motel 6 again and this one was actually recently remodeled.

My stay at this Motel 6 was an absolute nightmare. Check in was by a very hostile woman at front desk. When I entered my room, it smelled, and had a black spider on the wall. The keys were not working properly which led to the front desk clerk to get all bent out of shape with my request to fix the problem so I could get into my room. The housekeeper didn't clean room, and when I questioned at the front desk, I got a call from the manager saying she wanted me to check out in the morning when I had planned to stay a week. It was filthy, due to housekeeping not cleaning the wooden floors, bathroom and never making the bed. I had my dog with me who got deathly ill, maybe from a spider bite, and they didn't care when they were kicking me out because I questioned why at $75.00 weekend rate, why don't they clean the rooms.
I explained my dog was deathly ill, but the manager could care less and made us leave after 3 nights when I planned to stay 7 ngts. I needed to rush my dying dog to hospital, veterinarian, only to put her to sleep and as I was made to come to the front desk, so the manager would credit my credit card, refusing to do it by phone while I'm holding my dying dog... I stood at front desk crying, holding dying dog trying to get out of there to race to the hospital. They told me I was put on a list never to return for one year. It was all taking place at 5:30 am with dying dog in my arms and manager very mad that she had to get out of bed to credit my card for the days ahead that I wasn't able to stay because she kicked me out.
After my beautiful dog got put to sleep, I returned to get my luggage and leave the motel. Then I saw the housekeeper smoking on the stairs in the non-smoking building blocking me from going to my room. I had to walk around her, and when I gathered all my luggage, she stayed blocking me from getting downstairs with me carrying things in both hands down their steep staircase. She expected me to walk around her while she blocked my way, as she sit smoking. I almost fell down the steep staircase and could of broken my neck as I explained “I had bad vision and could you get up so I would have room to walk down those stairs.” She was trying to intimidate me, and I was completely distraught from my dog dying. So this motel has black spiders, and they do not like to clean the rooms. The worst experience of my life.

Motel 6 #263 Santa Clara CA - Me and my family went to a Luke Bryan concert in Mountainview, CA that was showing at the Shoreline Amphitheater. Being so far from home we decided to make a weekend trip out of it and stay in hotel. We decided to stay in the Motel 6 because they had vacancy and a decent rate. Upon check in the rooms looked nice. They were newly renovated with a nice modern look, flat screen TV, hardwood floor. However as the night continued little things started to seem out of the ordinary. One thing was that we had a nonsmoking room; however, there were ashtrays which seemed a little strange for a nonsmoking room. Also when it was time for bed we noticed in all the rooms that the blankets and bedspreads were horribly stained, and has cigarette burns! That really bugged me since it was a nonsmoking room.
Also I don't think they cleaned the bathroom due to the TP roll was empty and a towel was messy and thrown over the shower rod. There only 3 towels, and the towels that we had when we took them out of the racks were covered in HAIR! And not ours. So I called the front desk and complained and asked for new towels. The front desk man said sure but told me I had to come pick them up! And even those had hair in them. It was disgusting! There was no housekeeping/do not disturb signs in the entire motel so at 9 am I was woken up to the housekeepers! And I found it strange that in the vanity was a restaurant style beer bottle opener attached to the side of it. It's a good thing I brought my own bath towels!

She was the only one in there and got scared and had an accident on the floor. She was embarrassed and cleaned it up. The next day I got a call at work from the clerk at the front desk asking me did I know about the accident. I responded, yes and I was sorry, but my daughter cleaned it up. She proceeded to tell me very rudely that it better Never happen again or we would be kicked out. I called the operations manager and he said she did not have the right to do that, also that is his job. He said he would talk to her. A few days later she was being followed by three guys and screamed. Again I got a call from this same clerk saying my daughter was being loud and a complaint was going to be written up and again the threat of being kicked out. Other people make comments about this clerk. Just how rude she is.
I was told by other people staying that they called corporate and complained and they did not care. There are two other clerks that have told me how many other people complain about rude this clerk is. I think they knew they could not kick us out be of her condition. This Studio 6 is being remodeled and when we first came our room was not being cleaned. We ask the housekeepers and the front office to clean our rooms. They said they would but it never happened. We were moved to the completed side and I was really sick when they wanted to clean our room. The cleaning was scheduled the following Sunday at 1:00. I assumed that would be the day and time from then on, several weeks went by and the room wasn't cleaned. I avoided going to the office when the rude clerk was there. However she always finds a reason to call me and be rude. Well, again this clerk calls me at work and needs to get in the room right then and there. I said no but to give me more notice.

After having stayed at the Motel 6 location on Shawano avenue in Green Bay, I feel compelled to write a review about my experience. Despite an abundance of low reviews on this site, my experience deserves 5 stars - I was simply amazed by the quality of customer service I received. For $45 per night, you get what you pay for: a clean, comfortable room with hot and cold running water and even a dozen or so cable channels. Extras such as shampoo or razors do cost a dollar and change from the front desk but you'll be paying over $100 at a hotel where these are complimentary. Motel 6's 'no-frills' business model is, to be completely honest, a good part of the reason I decided to stay with them. I stayed at this Motel 6 for some time as a stop-gap between living situations and I couldn't be happier.
Most of the reviews I can find for this motel chain are incredibly negative and I honestly feel these are unjustified. Every staff member I interacted with during my stay had a better grasp on the concept of "customer service" than both the major retail chains I have worked for. Each and every employee I had contact with was professional, friendly, and if I had any sort of issue they were willing to go the extra mile to see that it was resolved. Normally I'd like to point out associates or employees of a business who went out of their way to ensure a happy customer, however at this motel that is, simply, every staff member.
Over the course of a month, I only encountered three issues that caused a less-than-satisfactory stay. The first was when a housekeeping employee entered my room without knocking. She seemed embarrassed and quickly left. I mentioned it to the receptionist at the front desk at the time and he apologized for the intrusion - honestly I wasn't very concerned about it, mistakes happen. What struck me was when the same housekeeping employee who opened the door apologized later that day. I had forgotten about the incident at this point and was very pleasantly surprised. The other two issues were due to loud, disruptive neighbors and were promptly resolved once reported to the front desk.
Needless to say, my experience at this particular Motel 6 was beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone needing a no-frills place to lay their heads for the night. I will definitely be returning if the need arises.

The first day I was there, I informed them that I would be there awhile. Asked for "special, Discounts, Promotions". Clerks stated, "We leave the Light On For You!" I had a problem with AC, moved to a room with "ticking sound" over the top of bed. Manager stated, "We don't know what that is, but I will give you $15.00 off". I asked, "Is this per day?". "Oh, No", she says, "Just this week". Well it just so happens, my new noisy room was next door to someone who informed me, "They give me a discount for the week & another discount because I have been here 2 months. Because after you been here 30 days, they don't charge taxes". I called guest relations, who agreed, "they should have charged you differently!" When Manager heard I called "Guest Relations", she stated, "You can't stay here anymore". She then called police to have me escorted off property.
This is after I spent over $1500.00 there & was 4 days from being there 30 days w/out taxes being charged. All together, I have probably spent $2-4,000.00 there. I wrote company twice and 6 weeks later, no response.

We booked a room for our daughters 18 and 19, weeks in advance, when they arrived to check in they were refused because they were under 21. I have poured through their policies to find this but have been unable to locate it. This occurred on 10/10/14 approximately 8:30 pm on a Friday. This place had no regards for the position they put my kids in and no accountability for their actions. Had we known about this so called policy we would have found another hotel. This is an unacceptable practice by any standard and puts guest and potential guest into potentially dangerous positions. The staff was rude and totally unconcerned about helping find a resolution to the problem. NEVER AGAIN MOTEL 6.

Reservation for 7 rooms made several weeks in advance for motel 6 savannah Georgia midtown. Quoted rate of $60.00 per night. When we arrived at 4:00 pm, we were told rooms were not ready but they would work on it. After about one and a half hours later we were told some rooms were ready but they would be scattered about the motel. When our first group member finally checked in, the rate nearly doubled and when he saw how shabby the room was, refused to stay there. We were all quite upset with the whole deal and decided to go to the days inn just down the street where we got superb clean and spacious rooms.

Staying at Motel 6 in Portsmouth, NH was a big mistake. We have never stayed at a Motel 6 before but the annual Seafood Festival was going on the same weekend and Motel 6 had the only vacancy. We had made reservations 3-4 weeks in advance. The service desk clerk was rude. The manager was worse than rude, he was a liar. The lobby and hallways were hot. The air conditioner in the room was blasting and it was freezing in the room. The tiny "pool" was literally in the middle of the parking lot.
Although the room was minimally clean, the lobby, hallways and single elevator were filthy. We paid over $100 for one night and we expected only a clean room and courteous service. We received neither. It is absolutely the worst hotel experience we have ever had. We left after one night. They charged our credit card for 2 nights after the manager assured me that the second night would be refunded. I recorded the conversation on my cell phone as proof. We will dispute the charge with our credit card co. I would sleep in my car before I would stay at Motel 6 again. It was the absolute worst hotel experience ever.

We had been driving hard after a late start due to a breakdown. As evening was coming on, we knew of a town a few miles ahead called Beaver in Utah on the I15. My wife had the Motel 6 number and phoned a reservation in for us and we arrived about an hour later. The first thing we noticed was the very strong smell of curry as we entered the very sparse lobby. The manager never even spoke to me as he took my card and simply checked me in to a room. He never offered the senior discount either, which a previous Motel 6 had done automatically. I spoke and asked for a room on the east side so that we would be facing the parking lot as I had a moving van and would have preferred to keep an eye on it.
I was ignored and given the key card to a room on the other side. On the way to our room, we saw that the pool was out of order. I know that Motel 6's are nothing fancy but, quite honestly, although not an inexpensive Motel 6 at over $60 a night, this room was about as sparse as you could possibly get. We were tired and went right to bed but just as we were about to put out the light, a cockroach appeared from under the baseboard and scuttled across the linoleum floor. I managed to get it with a shoe. This made us very uneasy and although exhausted, we could hardly sleep.
In the night, I got up to use the facilities and stood on something. Cringing, I put on the light and sure enough it was a relative of the previous creature. That was it for us. We got up and got dressed without even showering (which I could not have faced in that filthy place) and got on our way on the road again. I wrote to Customer Relations but all I got from Motel 6 was an apologetic form letter that wasn't even addressed to me, although I wrote to them, but was addressed to my wife because she made the booking. That said a whole lot about how much care and attention was paid to my letter. I'm sure that all they do is refer their system to the booking and let it pump out their form responses. Never again!

We arrived at Motel 6, "750 Raintree drive, Carlsbad CA". I walked into the office to check in. I paid for both rooms and was told no rooms were available at that time, that we would have to wait about 3 hours for our rooms. I wasn't okay with that because we had been driving all night but it is what it is so, I said okay. While waiting I received a call and my battery was very low so I went back into the office and asked the front desk girl could I sit there and charge my phone. She said yes. She told me to sit in front of the back office door, so other customers could come in. As I was sitting moving/down I cut my foot in the process. I asked the front desk girl for a band aid. She gave me one.
This guy who was also staying at the motel said he was an attorney, advised me to make a report and told the girl at the front desk to give me some peroxide which she did. Then I noticed she was on the phone and a few minutes later the manager came in and in a very rude manner she asked me what happen. I told her what happen and she said, "Why were you charging your phone in here anyway!!!?" Not, "Are you okay?" but why was I in there charging my phone. Then she turns to my husband not knowing if he was with me or one of the other ladies in there. She said, "And who were you talking to?" My husband said I was telling my son to move the car to a shaded area. She just went crazy and told us we couldn't stay there. She made the front desk girl put my money back on my card or so I thought. That's another story in itself!!!
Anyway to make a long story short my foot was hurting and bleeding, they made us leave the motel because I made a report and gave me the wrong phone number for their claims dept after lying and telling me she was going to put the report in and someone would call me in a few days and here it is almost two months later and I have a scar on my foot and it's still sensitive and I still have not heard from anyone....

Stayed in a Studio 6 in Mississauga, ON on August 4 thru August 11th, 2014. I was given a smoke-filled room that didn't receive service (bed, towel change, and cleaning). Room was filthy with hair. Bugs and gnats were flying around. I had driven 12 miles from New York City and was exhausted. My son had training camp the next morning and needed a shower and to stretch his legs. I asked for room service and was told to come to lobby. I was given sheets and sent on my way. The hotel reeks of marijuana. Both inside and outside as well.
It is an extended stay and random people roam the hallways because the hotel keep the doors open. In which case, anything can happen. Lots of weirdos lumbering around. I took pics of the blood and urine stained mattresses, on both beds. I asked for room change the next day and was moved to another room that still had blood and urine stains on both mattresses. I wiped the tub with a tissue and had a hand full of crud. Balls of hair were in corners. And the door was broken.
The manager came into my room while I was gone (we stayed away for most of our stay) and upon returning to our room, saw that our door was left ajar for the entire time that we were away. When I complained, it was brushed off by the front desk. I had to demand a call to the manager. For what?? Nothing was done. I got $70 bucks for one night. I told them that I should never have to change dirty, nasty and hairy sheets and I'm paying for this. But I called corporate and guest services several times while I was there and when I got back home. I was offered compensation for one night but paid $500.

Motel 6, 1505 E. Santa Fe Ave. Grants, New Mexico - I had awoke early, about 5:30am, and our toilet was seriously overflowing. We took every single towel, wash cloth, hand towel, etc. to mop up the floor and surround the overflowing toilet with! The office didn't open until 6am, but I took my chances, in hopes it would be open early, 5:45am it was open. I told the woman behind the desk that the toilet was overflowing and I ask for a plunger. She went back to look, but didn't find one, so, I ask if there was a maintenance person available and she said no. I then ask when one would be available, she didn't know when.
I explained to her we had a flood in our bathroom, and needed more towels because the entire floor was soaked, so she gave me the key to the room next door to have use of the toilet and get the towels there to try to sop up the toilet water (the towels, etc. were about worthless as thin and small as all of them were) so, I proceeded to get my shower with a towel I had kept to use, and took my shower, and had stepped out of this shower, and I slipped, and went down very hard. I had hit my tailbone, lumbar, cervical, neck, and head in several areas and went for an MRI, physical therapy, pain meds. for muscles and pain for bruising, neurological pain, nerve pain, bone pain, dizziness, loss of balance, confusion and forgetfulness.
Back to Motel 6, and the accident. My husband fixed me up several ice packs, and I laid down on them from my head to my tailbone, in hopes I didn't have any signs of a concussion. We do not know for sure if I did or didn't! My husband then called the front desk to explain what had happened to me in the bathroom, and she says "ok, thank you". She had a very uncaring attitude in her voice! Also, when we arrived at room 130, it had a very overwhelming chemical smell, so I then opened the door, turned on the air vents, opened the window, and went outside to get us and my toy poodle some breathable air.
I called the complaints dept. with all of my injuries that I had received from this fall and they gave me a report#**, and said someone else would contact me. I then received a letter from a claim representative (team lead) Claudette ** stating: "We are sorry to hear of your injury while staying with us. We cannot determine that Motel 6 caused or reasonably could have prevented this accident from occurring, therefore based on our findings, we are unable to accept liability for this incident and therefore must respectfully deny your claim."

Two weeks ago I rented a newly remodeled Motel 6 room. I was shocked on how horrible, cheap and completely tasteless decor! The following are the negative room characteristics the new owners of Motel 6 had allowed to happen after they purchased Motel 6 from the previous original owners. The original owners of Motel 6 had done a fantastic job on the color decor, attractive cabinets and drawers, vibrant and colorful bedspreads and curtains, normal flowing water out of the shower heads, a remote control for the TV which worked very well. ALL OF THE ONCE WELL DESIGNED ROOM CHARACTERISTICS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED OR REMOVED!
Here is a list of all the horrible negative changes done by the new owners of Motel 6 which has ruined a once great comfortable and pleasing stay at ALL Motel 6 hotels:
1) They have installed cameras on every floor in front of every room door. They claim it's for additional security for the customer staying at their hotel. That is a lie! The reason they put the cameras in is because too many hotels in large cities are used for brothel houses, meaning sex for money hookers and pimps use the hotel rooms all night long to solicit prostitution.
2) NO CABINETS or DRAWERS TO PUT OUR THINGS IN! 95% of all customers who stay at Motel 6 bring some type of luggage and other things into the room when they stay for a night or more. When the customers have unpacked their suitcases, shopping bags, etc. they need a place to put these items so that the room remains clean and not cluttered with a bunch of things everywhere making it messy. The new design rooms have NO CABINET DRAWERS! So now all of our things we bring in the room are either pal on the floor, around the bed or piled on top of the extremely few table surfaces they have provided. The reason for this is so that the maids don't have to open and close and clean the inside of the cabinets which takes several minutes to do. Motel 6 did it for fast cleaning and not for the people staying in the rooms!
3) 50% less tabletop space to place your items on! Now why did they feel they needed to do that when they already removed the large cabinets with the large drawers? Again, so that the maids take less time cleaning the tabletop surfaces!
4) The television viewing experience has changed quite negatively! The TV remote control has been made so that you have to push the buttons 50% harder to change the functions while watching TV. Also, when adjusting the volume level slightly higher or lower you have to push the volume button on the remote control about 20 times just to slightly adjust the volume level! Also, every other channel has a different volume setting and we have to keep adjusting the volume slightly by pushing the button on the remote control about 20 times every time we change the channel!
5) They now have the ugliest window curtains and bedspreads! The previous owners of Motel 6 did a great job choosing the style and color of the curtains and bedspreads. They were colorful, vibrant and appeared to be a good class and quality! Now they're thin, basic and very ugly and even the color coordination is horrible. They use an ugly orange color with another color that doesn't look good next to the orange color. They destroyed the good-looking decor inside of the rooms!
6) They removed the carpet and installed hard floors throughout the entire room leaving no carpet anywhere in the rooms. The original earlier Motel 6 carpets were cleaned about two or three times a year professionally and I did not mind a few spots on the carpet. While I stayed there I decided to walk around barefoot on the floor. My feet got black and dirty after walking barefoot for only 10 minutes! The floors were dirty and were not cleaned properly by the maids. And remember, the cleaning practices are the same throughout all of the Motel 6 locations.
The main reason they removed the carpet and installed hardwood floors is so that the maids don't have to vacuum the carpet anymore and don't have to carry a vacuum cleaner to each room just to save more cleaning time in each room! I talked to the maid cleaning the rooms and I asked her do you mop each row in each day. She said no they just sweep the rooms out and if they see a spot on the hard floor they just spray water on it using a spray bottle and wipe it off. That's all they do to clean the floors! And that's why my feet became black and dirty when walking barefoot on the floors for only 10 or 15 minutes!
7) Does anyone remember taking a shower in the previously designed rooms before they change them with the new design? When I took my shower the shower head water flow was so slow and weak, it took about seven or eight minutes just to rinse the soap out of my hair twice. My hair length is only a half-inch below my ears and down to the shirt collar in the back. My hair is not long and I can imagine how long it takes for people with hair that is twice that long!
8) Why did the new owners removed a nice big mirrors on the walls?! The nice mirrors that the previous owners had installed were nice and convenient to use while getting dressed next to or near the bed. The ONLY reason the new owners are Motel 6 made these changes was to save the maids time when cleaning the rooms! Basically, they removed all the nice characteristics of a standard hotel room ONLY, again ONLY to save money when cleaning the rooms! The new Motel 6 owners have destroyed the once greatest and comfortable hotels most people, including myself had ever stayed at for the price. And the room prices keep going up higher and higher and the quality keeps going down! And if you want a microwave and refrigerator you have to pay an extra $10 a night!
My friends and family and myself have all agreed we will never stay at Motel 6 again because the new owners had ruined the nice decor and standard useful characteristics which used to exist and are gone for ever at ALL Motel 6 around the country. The new owners are from a third world country with poor standards and are extremely greedy, cheap and selfish and don't provide the once great basic good-quality characteristics we consumers want and need. So, we'll just take our business elsewhere and I would be glad to pay an additional $25 for a hotel room so that WE DON'T HAVE TO STAY AT ANY Motel 6 AGAIN!

Sorry, we will have to call someone to cut the security lock off but it would take about 2 hours so we will give you another room and you can get your luggage when we get into your room." I went to dinner and went back to my other room and fell asleep because I had traveled 10 hours and after returning late just wanted some rest!
The night crew called me at I do not know what time and said, "Your other room is now open." I said I was in no way getting up and dressed to do it then and fell back asleep. He called again and said he would bring it to me but at that point I was so tired after not having any sleep for more than almost 2 days I said no and went back to sleep. I woke up the next day with no clean clothes and went in my bare feet to get a key to get my clean things and get a shower. I felt this was unexceptionable! No "we are sorry and we will try to help you" in any way or any compensation for my very bad experience! I will not be back again!

I stayed in this motel in Huston booking two rooms on my name along with my children. At 2 am someone called and complained about yelling sound from my room and need to clock out at that time. Was ready to clock out, next the reception calls and says it is a fake call. This is life threatening. Who so ever want to go to Huston and stay in Motel 6 please think twice. Dallas people be careful. It is for Nepali and Indian community of Dallas, don't risk life staying in Motel 6.

I just got out of a nursing home with 3rd bout with cancer & health issues to be in remission & start my life over in December 2013. I came to our local Motel 6 airport to have follow up with Care South home care for 8 weeks while getting stronger since I had to give up my rental home when I went in nursing home this past September. I am on waiting list for Greensboro Housing Authority to get senior wheelchair accessible affordable housing.
When I first came I was told by front desk that anytime I needed help to just call. After about a week I was very happy with my choice, I brought my kitty Molly with me for company. I unfortunately being a heavyset senior am in a 36" manual chair that won't go thru the door frame which was measured @34" & I can't walk except with walker & someone coming behind me out the door or in door with chair because it has to be folded in half for 4 months have spent most of my days in my room. My only Son comes & helps me as often as possible, I pay senior services $18.50 an hr to run errands.
Since being here things have gone pretty well with guest services, then another manager comes in March & says I am going to have to change rooms because they are supposed to switch for heavy clean up every 60 days so I did. The 2nd room has a roll in shower but safety latch up too high to reach without assistance. This manager starts making changes that I can no longer get mail here, no packages (I shop online every payday to get things I need and have for 14 years since I don't drive). There is nothing stated in writing on their site that you can't get mail or pkgs as a guest @ Motel 6.
Last week, the Furniture a Market was in town, my Son went to pay my bill, on my charge card & it was $80 higher. I called the desk to ask why, was told it was higher rate when furniture market was in town. I responded if so then mgr should have sent out notices to those of us that get a weekly rate or contacted in some way, that that was my grocery $, again asked for mgr to come talk to me face to face.
Next day housekeeper comes to my room, says she is going to get sheets & would be right back & leaves safety latch unlocked. I got busy online & turned around when I realized my cat was scratching @ door to see that door is open, I can't reach in my chair & cannot safely get to it. I called front desk, told Lynn what happened, she said ok. Another 30 minutes goes by, I call 3 times on room phone, no one answers. I call on my cell phone, she answered, asked if she forgot about my door & bringing me sheets housekeeper forgot. She says mgr told her she couldn't! Again I ask to speak to him, she said he had left. I was angry! I said well I guess he doesn't care if someone comes in my room & ** me, she says, I'm just saying I can't leave desk. I told her that if he wants to treat me like dirt underneath his feet that was fine but plenty of people were hearing about how I am being treated online.
I called Motel 6 Customer relations # for 3rd time in 2 weeks, gave her all of what you see here, asked why the manager had not been to my room in person or talked to me on the phone, she said she didn't know. I asked to speak to a supervisor, was told she was gone for the day...I told her by the time I get thru with this, I hope it messes up Motel 6 airport business so much that he won't have any guests to complain! That the staff can no longer come bring me ice, towels or sheets that I would have to get my Son to do that when he came.
2 weeks later this manager I understand is no longer here, a guy by the name of Keith comes in 1st part of April, from there it has all gone downhill. My linen change day is Wednesday, my bed change day is Friday. Got sick on off cleaning day & called & asked for sheets so I could pull soiled ones off bed, was told they couldn't do that. My guest phone quit working entirely, was told that there was something wrong with wiring in wall & they had called phone company. From March 25-April 9th I had no phone service to add to not being able to get out of my room. I had to get online & invest in a cell phone and plan I could afford & have it overnighted which cost me $18 just for that.
Then 2 days later the AC stops working properly, maintenance checked & said it needed freon, that was April 11, still no freon. Called again last week, another maintenance man checked, said he would send guy down to put freon in, still no Freon. Called 2 days ago to ask about it again, still no freon.Called to get wifi with my AARP card & was told manager needed to see card. I asked that he come down & talk to me & meet face to face, didn't happen.
I called to ask yesterday about picking up a prepaid pkg for USPS to pick up @ front desk, was told they had been told by management not to come in here.
Today I called 11 times with over 20 rings each, no one answered. I called on my cell, Carolyn answered right away. I told her I wanted my AARP card back, she says ok & hangs up. 45 minutes later she still hasn't come. Again, I call 12 times on room phone, no one answers, call on my cell phone, she picks up. Asks if she forgot about my card, she replied she wasn't allowed to come to my room! I called back on cell & asked for manager to come see me for the 6th time in 2 weeks, she said he wasn't here...
I was so upset, felt totally isolated, tried calling my Son who Keith stopped @desk last week to tell him to tell me (my Son is 33 & I am 63) that I can't have pkg, mail, room services, ice, etc etc...I told my Son that night if he wants to tell ME something, he needs to come down & do it himself, if he had any balls at all! I was so livid this afternoon after all of these goings on to call non emergency police, they said they would send someone. As soon as I get off police call, Carolyn from front desk abruptly opens up my door to ask if everything is ok, that she understands I called police (how do they know this). I said yes I did call, scared me too with just busting in door. Policeman comes, there is older guy behind in plain clothes, I asked if he was Keith, says yes, I said well after 2 weeks it's nice one that you finally have time to come down here.
I told police what had been going on, basically he says it is not a criminal matter, if I am so unhappy here why didn't I go somewhere else. I explained I was on waiting list for affordable housing & had actually been up to 5:30 this morning looking online for a possibility of somewhere else to go, explained I didn't drive, that my Son was the only one I could depend on & that I wanted to go as soon as possible when he had time to take me...Keith speaks up, gives me back my AARP card & says that you can only get AARP discount on Winfield for Six days. I said their website doesn't have that on there. He says he had been online with corporate & it is in their guidelines & handsome paper.
Then Keith says he is serving me to leave his property, that as of Thursday the 24th they won't be renewing my stay!! I have already been thru a heart attack in 2007, I swear my heart quit for a few seconds! I said I wanted it in writing, and why they were asking me to leave, at that they were gone. Door closed & I cried!

I stayed in Motel 6 Lawrence #4307 KS on Nov 20-Nov 22 and paid for 2 nights but on my VISA card I also found another payment for Nov 21-22 for 1 night. When I phoned the motel after receiving my January statement, the answer was, "We are sorry, the reimbursement will be on the same card as one overcharged." It was not on my February nor my March statement. No more excuses, the motel staff thinks that I have forgotten, decided to register my complaints with the consumer affairs - that may wake up some people to correct mistakes faster.

My husband and I were moving to Fort Worth, TX in early August 2013. My son was helping me due to me being sick. I have a number of autoimmune diseases including Lupus SLE, Graves, Shrogens, also have 3 types of arthritis. I have been thru biologics, which kill my white blood cells. I am very susceptible to all illnesses around me. We had to stay over in El Paso due to my illness. The stress on my body when riding in car so long made me weak, mentally and physically. We stayed at Motel 6 in El Paso (central). When I got to the room I saw that there was hazardous waste coming up out of the tub and toilet, sink. I was truly shocked that they did not have this checked or known it was there. Feces and other waste where a person is close enough, anyone could get ill. But in my case it was imminent.
My husband called to have us moved, they did nothing. Then I called and explained that I have major sicknesses and that I really need a different room, to no avail. The girl at the desk said there's nothing they could do, I told her to call her manager, she did but didn't care one way or another. The manager said no also but he would give us a complementary stay of one night at their motel on our next visit. So there I was sick and very scared.
Within a few days later I started to get extremely exhausted by everything I did. I couldn't even walk a few steps and had to stop to catch my breath. Then my arms swelled to a scary size and the pain was excruciating, I went to the emergency room and was admitted immediately. I had surgery on my arms the next day. I had to stay in there 7 days it ended up being e. coli. I since have lost every bit of money we had to get in a rental house. And I owe at least 15 to 20,000 $ in med bills. The motel say I wasn't there. And are not willing to help me, I am so down I wish I would have died thru this now.
I have more scares and owe everyone, and I haven't got nothing. This was unbelievable to me that they could care less about anyone. The world is really getting bad. I wish they would have at least paid my medical and the truck I had to sell to get bandages and other things needed for my care. But they don't or won't help me, though I have pictures I showed them and I have pictures of my arms and the 4-inch cut I had to care for alone. What a really bad company, I hope they get what is owed to them. I tell everyone I can about my stay. They should have help me. I wish bankruptcy is in their future. Beware of where you lay your head!!! Mr. Bodett or whoever you are.

So let me tell you about my most recent stay at Motel 6. We have stayed at the Anaheim 100 Disney Way, Motel 6 many of times before. We have never had a problem, and we've never experienced anything but great customer service. The only time we have ever had any type of issue was on our last stay (January 17, 2013), when we found a used condom under our bed. We informed the front desk and when checking out they offered to comp our room one night for the inconvenience. Let me make it very clear, they offered this to us, we did not ask for any sort of refund. The only reason we notified them about the condom was so they didn't think it was us leaving it behind. We were extremely grateful and thanked the clerk. There was no conflict, no yelling, and no confrontation.
We and the lady at the front desk were both very calm and polite. We were actually extremely shocked they were so accommodating and helpful. So for our most recent trip we had no reason not to give them our business again. We booked our room a month in advance and had no problems. After driving at least 2 hours from San Diego to Anaheim we were informed at the front desk we were on the Do Not Rent To list. We assured them this was obviously a mistake and asked how it could be resolved. How could we be on this list and have no idea why? Also, we entered all our information when reserving the hotel room so why weren't we notified then that there was an issue? They were extremely rude and treated us like criminals who had done something horrible.
We spoke with ** (doubt that's her real last name, but that's what she told us) who was short with us, rude, and extremely unprofessional. We were just trying to find out what the exact incident was and how we could fix it. She was unable to give us ANY useful information. She informed us this issue could only be resolved by the manager ** who wasn't there. She said we had to leave and exit the premises immediately. We were shocked! My boyfriend and I are a young, clean cut, couple who have always followed the law and been extremely courteous at anywhere we've stayed. The way the staff treated us at the front desk at check-in was like we were convicted felons!
It was extremely embarrassing to be told to leave the premises immediately in a lobby full of people. Most would have gone off on the manager yelling and cursing but my boyfriend and I once again demonstrated our polite demeanor in not doing so. Please for one second imagine the position we were in. We were in a strange and unfamiliar city, far from home with no place to go! Motel 6 left us stranded and we had to scramble to put a roof over our heads for the night! We called guest services and corporate, and they both said the only person who can tell us any more information, or take us off this list was ** the manager. We had been blacklisted for giving our honest feedback, even though we were extremely polite and calm about it.
We were forced to stay at another Motel 6 about 2 miles away. This motel was disgusting! It was in a horrible part of town and the room conditions were awful!!! The bed had a funny smell and stains, the whole room was dirty and we even found blood stains on the bathroom AND bedroom floor! I took pictures of all of this and will be posting them on every review site I can find. They next day we got in contact with ** the manager and he was so unprofessional and rude! He said he would call us back and never did! After another call to corporate we found out this ban had been done by the previous manager who no longer works there, and despite a lack of reason, ** decided to support this decision.
How can you support a decision to ban somebody without a reason??? We have still yet to be informed on the reason why we were banned. The lack of professionalism in this company has shocked me!!!!! We have already contacted the manager (**), guest relations (**), and corporate (**, and another guy named **) and they all gave us the run around. We still have not been provided with a reason why this happened to us!
After this experience I will NEVER in my life under any circumstances stay at another Motel 6! BEWARE IF YOU GIVE YOUR FEEDBACK, YOU WILL BE BLACKLISTED AND NOT ALLOWED TO RETURN. This company is despicable and it's a shock they can still be in business. I will not stop until everybody I know has heard my experience and I will be posting my review and pictures of the blood stains on every site I can find. I will also be contacting the Better Business Bureau immediately. If you want a professional, clean, accommodating hotel, DO NOT STAY HERE. From now on I will GLADLY pay the extra $20 for a hotel that won't treat us like criminals. Nothing will make up for this experience and the way the company has dealt with this complaint is unbelievable. I WILL NEVER STAY HERE EVER AGAIN and I will make sure everybody knows about this story!

When we were staying in Motel 6, there was a young girl getting gang raped in the next room, you could hear the gang members talking, saying, "Watch your back, I think the dude in the next room can hear," then we heard a large gun cock. Well we reported it to the Sheriff's in Victorville, then I called the manager in that Motel 6 and told them I did report it. He said you shouldn't have done that, so I think they (the gang members) offered the manager money more than usual and he let them take that poor girl in the motel room and rape her. By now she's since dead, they had some pretty dangerous guns on them.

I had 2 small grand babies under 3 years old in the car and I was afraid we may get stranded as 6 cars have been in the ditch in my short travel from Mobile, AL. It was 11:30 at night, Jan.24, 2014. I told the clerk behind the desk that I had 2 small children and would take a king or 2 queen beds. I requested the 1st floor because I had to carry these children to the room.
She assigned me room 126. She told me that I had to carry my belongings through the lobby to the room. This room was the very LAST room at the far end of the hall equivalent to a full city block. Yet the back door was less than 20 ft from the car if I parked in the rear. Fortunately, I didn't listen to the clerk and entered via the back door. I find the clerk at the counter very unhelpful and uncaring. I was miffed at her ill concern. The parking lot was barely full so I know that she could have had me closer to the entrance if she so chose. If I don't get a letter of apology from her/Motel 6 then I will NEVER use this hotel again ANYWHERE.

As I exited the vehicle, she promptly turned away. I thought, "Maybe she's got a call." Okay. I patiently wait at the checkout window, and she's doing paperwork. It made me think, "WTF?" She then turned to me, after about 3 minutes, and GLARED at me. I took no offense, and thought maybe she's having a bad day, whatever. I paid for the room and went to settle in. Upon my arrival, I found black hair all over the bed sheets. Gross! I did my best to strip the bed and clean what I could, I was just tired by then.

Everything is documented with Confirmation #'s. Been staying at Motel 6 in Belmont, CA for last 1 1/2 years because I have a Pet for Assisted Living Elders. I come every month from Los Angeles at the same place & never there except late evenings. They never have my 3-day stay right. I pay with C/C always to prove days I book. I'm like clockwork every month. They overcharge, make mistakes, refuse to admit overcharging on C/C. I contact C/C company several times to make sure Fraud is not committed. I ask for General Manager - they ALL ARE! They all cover for each other. I have DRUG ADDICTS following me to my room every night & report it & they do NOTHING! The drug addicts live there because I see them every month I'm there. The only thing that stops them from robbing me is my dog.
They're all afraid of the dog I have. Made numerous complaints as I see them smoking Crack, Grass, cigarettes in the Fire Escape. It's a non smoking building to begin with & no one does anything. These awful addicts are residences there & Motel 6 doesn't want to lose them because they get Government money regularly for them to live there. I know because the addicts told me. The staff does not care for their customers & if they see they're threatened, they will FORCE them out in public in front of customers at the desk. They did that with me by telling me to get out without Warning because I told them I would call the Police if they went into my room to take my stuff out because it's against the law to do that!
They got scared because I've worked in the Legal Field for years & the managers were getting afraid that I may uncover stuff going on. Well I have. DRUGS!!!! I asked them if they have surveillance cameras to check out the ones that are DEALING around my room I rent for 3-4 days every month. They pretend they don't know English... and then when I call on them for explanations as to why they take my money, make mistakes with my cards & make them correct it, they walk away and start servicing other customers. New customers are from other countries visiting & have no idea what's going on. The government, law needs to look into this particular one. I told them if they continue harassing me in public, threatening to throw my stuff out after I paid, kicking me out in public, that I will file a Major Lawsuit against all of them individually and Motel 6 as a Corporation. They ignored me & told me to get out! No reason, no nothing.
One anonymous staff member told me she was afraid... that if I don't do their RATINGS ALL 10 that it doesn't count and they don't want those customers back. When I try to reach the general manager, she won't answer my calls, answer my emails... nothing. But she will respond to the fact I gave bad ratings. That they will and that's why they don't want anyone back that does that. They don't care because they have "in house drug addicts" living there for a long, long time & they're making money. My life and my family's life was in DANGER coming to visit me there in the evenings and being scared to go near Motel 6 because they were afraid to be ROBBED. I will file a legal complaint and anyone that wants to come aboard, please do and then we can have a "Group Lawsuit". It's awful, dangerous and way above the law for me, the children and all that come to this place.
I have monitored it there for over a year & that's why they don't want me there. I told them, "I will NOT give up. You take my money for over a year & then you brutalize me." I was raised in that area all my life and to have the Scum of the Earth not just run the place, but live there is inexcusable. Hopefully, there will be a response to this review & we can get some action going in general. This is America & we have a RIGHT to BUST the ones that are ABOVE THE LAW. Thank you. None of you ever go to Motel 6. If you have Pets like me, you can go to others for the same Price & no Pet Fee. Howard Johnson Express & La Quinta are a few. Good Luck!

I traveled 2100 miles from Phoenix, AZ to Gastonia, NC. As I got into Gastonia late Friday night, my truck broke down. Traveling with 8 kids, one of which just recovered from cancer. Stayed at Motel 6 till our vehicle was fixed. Our 6th night there, my oldest was walking our dog outside when Anita from the front desk knock forcefully on the door saying my kids were running up and down the halls and was asked to leave. My kids were clearly asleep till she knocked so no way they were. She proceeded to call the police on me because I refused to leave and when the police showed up, she came back to the room screaming and hollering at me in front of the police.
We got to stay the night we paid for and asked to leave the next morning. People have no compassion towards others and people at Motel 6 are the rudest people I have encountered in Gastonia, NC. Kids are supposed to stay free and there is nothing posted on the number of children a person is supposed to have in a double room, especially in an emergency situation as ours... My attorney has been made aware of this and appropriate action will follow against Motel 6. Out of the 6 days, we had no hot water for 2 of those days.

My name is Angie and I live in Turlock, CA. I needed a place to go to so I rented a room at Motel 6 and been there for about two weeks and I had to leave because I gotta complain from the front desk about my kids breaking something. Which was not true so we were not allowed back there for one yr. That yr came and went. And I’m still not allowed there. It’s really bad. There I was asked to leave for something I didn't do and my sister got kicked out for asking more than one maid for a towel. Staff there are really rude and the real reason I was asked to leave was because I had called the police because they tried to rip me off and I didn't let them.

I had an issue with an AC unit in my room. I went to the front desk and got nowhere so I asked to speak to the manager. Brian **, the manager, came to the desk and treated me so rudely I ended up checking out. He called me a no nothing loser as I turned to walk away from his rudeness. My 9-year old daughter heard it and asked why the man called me a loser. Brian ** is a complete embarrassment to the Motel 6 chain. As I was checking out, Brian ** had the nerve to come to my room and tell me I have no clue how to operate an air conditioner. It was uncalled for and we almost got into a fist fight as my family was leaving the hotel. Someone at Motel 6 has got to do something about this.

UPON CHECK IN to the Motel 6 in downtown Salt Lake City, I asked to reserve a room for 7 days. The manager was not there on the day I was checking in nor did I ever get to tell her there was unwanted knocking on my door after midnight the last night of my stay there. I called the front desk from my room to complain. The room I was given was #110 which had filthy dirty air conditioner unit. I asked the male employee at the front desk if he could change my room. He allowed me to check out room 239 upstairs which was decent and much quieter as it did not face the street. MOTEL 6 is known as a Pet Friendly motel so I booked with them because I own a cat.

We are writing to voice our extreme dissatisfaction with our stay at the Temecula Motel 6, Room 149, on August 3, 2013. We checked in the afternoon of August 3, could stay only long enough to drop off our bags and head off to our reason for being in Temecula that day. First off, we opened the door and were immediately blasted by an old, musty, strong odor of mildew laced with cigarette smoke. We don't believe the filter in the a/c unit had been changed, if ever. We left with our clothes smelling like the room. We did not ask for a smoking room.
Upon our first glance at the room, we noticed right off the bat that the beds were in dire need of replacement. Both beds sagged in the center. This was visible from the doorway with the bedspreads on. Beds in this state of disrepair are not what you would expect when paying $90-$100/night. We returned to the room at approximately 12:30 am on August 4, 2013. Having more opportunity to inspect the room we found that the carpet had big, black, blotchy stains all over the entryway and bathroom areas. Considering the size and amount of staining on the carpet, the smell of mildew started to make sense. We were quite grateful that we keep a can of Febreeze in our vehicle, as we used it - a lot of it. This was unacceptable considering the rate of $90-$100/night.
We turned down the bed to find that the sheets also had dark gray, blotchy stains on them. The blanket was so old, it felt more like a mat than a blanket. There was no pliable softness to it at all. This was unacceptable considering the rate of $90-$100/night. As mentioned above, both beds sagged in the center. Taking the less saggy looking of the two, we climbed into bed only to find ourselves both rolling to the center. It soon became apparent that not only were they saggy, but the mattress felt like we were lying on a box spring. It was unacceptably uncomfortable for the amount of money we were charged.
Sunday morning, Dennis got up to take a shower. There was only one (1) towel. We booked the room for two (2) people. When he got out of the shower, he said there was barely enough water pressure to wash his hair. I, therefore, did not get to wash my hair, as mine is past my waist in length and moderately thick. This again, was unacceptable given the price you charge of $90-$100/night. Before leaving, I went to the office to voice our dissatisfaction and submit my opinion card. All the woman at the desk would do was say, "Oh." No apology, no offer to discount our stay. Nothing.
Motel 6 may leave the light on for you, but honestly, we have had better experiences with $39/night accommodations from your less-advertised competitors. Our experience at the Temecula Motel 6 was indeed displeasing to say the least. We feel that we really got shafted this trip. I doubt we will ever spend another dime at a Motel 6 in consideration of this experience.

Motel 6 Manteca #4756. My husband and I and our 4yr. old autistic son, needed a room for a night. We were not able to stay in our home. I reserved a room early that morning, and we checked in around 6pm that evening. My reservation was for 2 queens non-smoking micro/fridge. Everything was fine that night with the exception of the woman at front desk repeatedly threatening to charge my credit card $100 if I smoked in the room. She warned me a total of 7x during check-in and I assured her we would not smoke in room.
This property has recently been renovated, and the rooms are very nice for the price you pay. When we got to our room, we were disappointed that the security camera directly above our door, was causing interference with our phones, but it was really no big deal. We checked out the next morning. Later we found out that we were not going to be able to return to our home for 2 more days. This time, my husband (who has a different last name) made the reservation. 2 queens non-smoking micro/fridge. We returned to the motel around 2:30 that afternoon. It was very hot that day. Temps in high 90's. My special needs son was getting restless and we were anxious to get to our room.
We checked-in and were issued the same room as the night before. We requested a different room because of the phone interference, but was told this was the only room available. Not a problem. We would manage. We got to room and found it exactly as we left it. It had not been serviced. New reservation, different name, why was the room not clean? It was almost 3pm. After arguing with the woman at the front desk, she finally gave us another room. My son is already becoming distressed at this point.
We go to our new room, open the door, and find it dirty. Garbage everywhere. It smells bad and there was obviously a party here. We return to the front desk. The woman tells us that we should have waited to check-in because the girls had just returned from lunch! What???? It is after 3pm, check-out is 11am. The parking lot was not full of cars. She tells us someone is cleaning it now and we can go wait. My son is very upset. He is hot, tired, hungry, and he does not understand why he cannot go in his room. We had to wait 1 hr. and 20 min. before our room was ready. My son became so distressed that he became physically ill and vomited in the parking lot. The heat did not help any. There is absolutely no shade on the property.
When we got into the room, we found that there was no micro/fridge. We had had enough at this point and were not going to attempt switching rooms again. After getting my son settled in, I went back up to office. I wanted a discount for not having a micro/fridge and the ordeal we had been through. The woman rudely informed me that they did not advertise a micro/fridge and she could not give me a discount. We made our reservations online and specifically chose a room with these amenities. So yes it is advertised. I was not going to press the issue and take the chance of her making us leave. I believe that my family and I were treated wrongly. We were put through an unnecessary ordeal. How can businesses get away with doing this kind of thing after they have taken our money? I will continue to look for some compensation. At least to have some of my money refunded.

This is my second time I stayed in your motel. It was a big surprise and a bad feeling that I've never felt before. I thought I have lost my mind. I had stayed there in Jan. 2012 in a different room. Compared to the last time I was there, now your prices are more than twice (it is okay because of the season and time) but the service is so QUEER. I have nothing to say since all my life I have been traveling much in the world and have stayed in many kinds of motels and hotels, but your room this time is THE FIRST I saw that came as a surprise to me since the room absolutely has NOTHING, just the bed for a kid (15 years old). It should have been for two adults. There's a TV, 1 toilet paper and 2 bar soaps... that is it.
I suppose minor things even coffee or little things should be available in the bathroom... but NOTHING. I have to try to leave early morning. And another important thing is they charged my card many times the cost that totals over double. I know this may be an accident, but the way they solved my issue was unprofessional, and it has been a week and it's still not done. Right now, they still need to get more information from me to go further with the investigation. I just want to say enough to stay away from this hotel. There are a lot of cheaper hotels with much better service, more than 10 times Motel 6.

I rented a room on July 2nd for 1 adult and 2 children, right in front of the pool so I could take the kids swimming. My older daughter came over to help me with the kids. Anyway, it was late after we got them out, my daughter ended up sleeping over. I had just woke up and I was going to pay for my daughter staying and rent another night. The person from the office got very rude. We are both senior citizens and it takes a minute for us to be able to move. We were trying to get up and start moving, but we can't just jump up and start moving. She was so rude telling us to get up right that second and our bodies just don't do that and to get our stuff out. We were trying to tell her we were going to pay the couple of dollars difference and rent it again, but she was on a rant.
We were in night clothes and we tried to shut the door, but she kept her foot in the door so we couldn't even shut the door to get dressed. I guess we weren't moving fast enough and she called the police, all the while keeping her foot in the door. What kind of people do you have working for you? It could have been handled so differently. We could've paid the little extra and another day and it all would have been fine, but they treat their senior citizens with no respect at all. I truly hope you take care of this problem because there was no reason for us to be treated the way we were. I am still hurting from having to get up that fast and start moving. I use a cane and a walker and am still sore. When I go back to the doctor, I am going to see if I pulled anything or hurt anything. Again, I hope you address this problem promptly. Thank you.

Motel 6 in Metropolis is TERRIBLE! Our first stay was so bad, we complained and they gave us a coupon for a free stay. We made reservations the following year to use the coupon. We tried to check in and they attempted to overcharge us. We had to call customer service to MAKE THEM GIVE THE QUOTED PRICE! But Mr. ** was so bothered by it. He sent us an ugly message. ALSO, the room wasn't clean and I showed a photo of how bad their beds were made. I'd decided to never stay there again so we didn't complain anymore. What good would it do, right?
Well, he sent us this email blaming us for his error. Then he got mad at us because we didn't KEEP COMPLAINING! They don't even clean the rooms every day or provide clean towels without you asking! It's on their cards in the room. I'm not lying! Sorry Mr. **, no more complaints because we've knocked you off of our "to stay at" list and we're letting everyone know it:
"Dear SCOTT **: Sir, when you arrived, we had an issue with your reservation because you failed to make it right. We tried to explain this to you when you arrived, but you were not happy with what we were saying. When you made it, you put the wrong price and that messed up your whole total. In future reference, I personally would make it a point to call the hotel I was planning to stay at and make sure my reservation is correct. You stayed with us for 3 nights with no complaints. If you would have let us know you had these issues, they could have easily been fixed. We did not get any complaints from any other guests through that time period.

We stayed at this motel more than once and never had a problem with the property manager until this year. We checked in on May 3rd to May 10th and we only stayed a week. Well, needless to say, the morning we left at 3:00 am, nothing was wrong with the room. It was clean and when we first got the room, we walked in and it smelled like cat pee in which this is the same room we stayed in last year and also smelled the same way. Well, we were coming back to our room from going to get something to eat and she came walking up to us and said in an angry voice, "Mr. **, we've had complaints on your dogs (we have two small Chis)." She also said that she heard them all the way down in the lobby which is a lie.
Anyway, one of the housekeepers I spoke to said that there were no complaints and that she was the only one that was complaining. We went back today to try to get a room for a month and she turned us away saying that she could no longer rent to us. My father had called her and asked her why and she said that our dogs damaged the property (the carpet) and that is a lie. Both dogs are housebroken and go outside when they need to... We were only there for a week. That Saturday, when we rode over there, they had rented the room to someone who had 2 big dogs.
I'm sorry; I don't see how she's still working there. She is very, very rude. She has caused a lot of people to quit their jobs. If you are going to have someone working for your company and who is not friendly towards their guests, then she does not need to be working there... plus the room that she lives in is nasty and stinks. Like I said before, we've never had this problem so we gave our money to someone else. This motel is nothing but a drug dealing place... selling drugs out of the parking lot, prostituting females; people are having sex in the pool and they know all about it. Their mattresses have blood stains and urine stains. The ceilings in the bathrooms are falling in. Bath tubs are uneven. They hardly clean the rooms.
I know one of the housekeepers and she is a manager over the other workers and she already got 3 people fired that was there last year. The property manager is a rude nasty ol' ** and she does not need to be working there. I'm going to do something about it because I want her job.

I was in Oklahoma on 05/21/2013, and I checked into Motel 6 at 12:30 am on 05/22/2013. I opened my suitcase, put on my pajamas, and left my suitcase open on the bed with me and went to sleep. I woke up feeling awful. I turned the shower on, but it was taking forever for the water to get hot. I turned the bathroom sink on, and it too was taking forever to get hot. I went to my suitcase to get the clothes that I was going to wear that day, as I left the water running in the sink and in the shower. I heard the water splashing on the floor. I went to turn the water off, because there wasn't a pipe under the sink to catch the water.
Keep in mind, I was naked. I grabbed some clothes to put on and went to the office to ask for another room. They did not have one available at the time, and so they asked me to come back. In the meantime, all of my items are in the room. I returned to the motel to get a key to the new room, and asked if they moved my items for me (2 suitcases and a laptop). They said, "No, but here is a new key and you can move it yourself." Somehow, the original room (228) would not accept the key to get in. It was 5 AM and I was walking back and forth from the motel lobby to this room, each time explaining to the employee, that the key was not working.
I advised that I had to get my items out asap. I had to be in court with Mike ** at 8:30 AM. They could only say, "We are sorry, but we cannot get the door open." They gave me a key to a new room (122), and I asked, "Why? If all of my stuff was locked in room 228, what good would it do me to have a key to room 122?" They finally opened the door to room 228 at 8:37 AM. Of course, this was too late. I had no shower and no make up. I changed clothes and went straight to court.
In the meantime, I was itching like crazy. I assumed it was because I did not take a shower, but the itching was intense, like something was on me. I come to find out that I have numerous bites all over my body. The room was infested with bed bugs. I had to drive back to Nashville, TN with a hair brush scratching the whole way. I ended up going to the hospital to get medication to cure this mess. I ended up staying in the house the whole holiday weekend. I missed out on my holiday pay at my job, and I was supposed to be on a boat to Percy Priest Dam with some friends. I am still stuck in the house, because the doctor at the hospital could not determine if I only had bed bugs, and not scabies.
To end this long dramatic incident, I had to throw away both suitcases to prevent from bringing these bugs into my home. I want to be compensated for this mess. The lady from corporate called me this morning. She said, "Your claim is denied, and you better seek a lawyer. No refund, no compensation. Do not call back."

There were many dogs under us barking more than ours and the the repairman has a small dog that yaps all the time. People were loud outside and, of course, our dog will protect his territory. We asked why the other people wouldn't move to a different room, then decided we would then leave when the week is up.
It angered both of us, so we called around for a cheaper place (manager had given us a choice of moving or leaving with a refund.

Unfortunately, I have to report a disturbing incident that took place at G6 Hospitality's property, Motel 6, Newport RI. 02840. Date of incident was 4-11-2013 at approx 2000 hrs. Upon returning from a 14-hr day In Boston, I was informed by Mr. ** (general manager), that my stay was over, and that I would have to leave in the morning. I have spent thousands of dollars at your properties over the past several months and had been more than satisfied with the accommodations and customer service from Motel 6, till date said.
Mr. ** behavior was threatening, intimidating, and as far from management and customer service as I have seen in my 30 years in the travel industry. The highlights of my disparate treatment, were being to by Mr. **, "I could have you kicked out now," and "I will make sure you're gone in the morning", and actions included aggressively picking up the front desk phone to make a call, and approaching me aggressively from behind the front desk pointing his finger and telling me "Charlie, I don't make the policies", and to my shock, turning off my telephone in room **, as I was frantically searching for other accommodations.
The phone was turned off at approx. 0830 hrs and I had to call a reservations supervisor to have it turned back on. Mr. ** called my room several times the morning of 4-12-2013, asking me, "Charlie, how much more time do you need?" And he was radioing his staff to check on me and my progress. Needless to say, my stress levels were very high, and this treatment caused me much emotional distress. I will probably not stay at any of G6/Blackstone properties again. I had reservations at Studio 6 in Orlando, Florida and have since cancelled those reservations. My opinion is that your corporation is in jeopardy of good corporate/customer relations due to Mr. ** actions on said days, up to and including safety, integrity, accountability, responsibility, and shareholder returns.
On a separate note, it is my understanding that Motel 6/G6/Blackstone's policy on weekly stays is that Mondays are refresh days and Fridays are complete cleanings. Mr. ** insisted that the housekeeping department knocked at my door and clean every day. This situation was resolved (somewhat), by him insisting that I sign a rooming list on every day I did not want my room cleaned?
Again, being a flight attendant for 17 years, I have stayed all over the world in 1 star up to 5 star properties, and have had such disparate treatment by this gentleman. I asked to speak with the owner of the property on 4-11-2013 at approx. 2020 hrs, and Mr. ** handed me his business card, which stated he was the general manager. When I challenged him on this, he said, "I am the owner."
I would like to request a full refund for my stay at this property from 3-15-2013 to 4-12-2013. The amount I show is a total of $915.36 according to my folio # **. Also, I have learned that all of my internet reservations (with the exception of the Orlando one) have been deleted from the system.

I then went back down to the front desk and told them that the room was clean and that I needed the keys. Three of them had said, "We told you to come back in a half hour. Why are you here now? It's only been 15 minutes. You can't just go to the room."
The greasy haired supervisor behind the front desk, who would not reveal her name after I asked her five times (do you think that this happened a time or two before, do you?) said that I cannot stay there and that she would give me my money back. I was like what just happened here? Can anyone say haters? She said that if I said anymore, she would be calling the police. What? You couldn't ask for a better guest to stay here than me. I am quiet. I don't smoke, drink, etc. and would only be there to sleep as I had a business meeting in the morning.
Do yourself a favor, even though it's cheap, dealing with this load of drama and control can disgust anyone. Spare yourself and stay somewhere where the staff is nice! Their customer relations department is no prize either. When I called to tell them what happened, the representative was like, "Oh there is nothing we can do. I can find another location."
