On my hotels app it guaranteed an upgrade room but when I I received my room, there was NO refrigerator or microwave, And the room wasn’t so roomy. Apparently that was the last room so I had no other choice but to stay there.

Even though our room was extremely small, it was comfortable and the beds were great. There wasn't a placard for no room service, so every day we had our room cleaned and organized. They really didn't need to come in and clean, because we were gone all day and didn't make a mess. But we thank them for the beds being made when we came home every night.

Motel 6 holds themselves blameless for mistakes

I didn't actually stay for my appointed reservation; my circumstances had changed, and I didn't need it anymore. I called into cancel my reservation and was told It was already cancelled.

I proceeded with my weekend only to find I was still getting emails associated with my reservation. I called Motel 6 about this an no one was available to address my concerns.

I was referred back to Hotels.com who took up a request for a refund for me, which was rejected. The reason It was rejected according to motels.com was that they had to remain consistent their policy on these matters.

So it is their policy to inform their customers a reservation is cancelled, not cancel it and then charge them anyway?

Neither Hotels.com or Motel 6 has provided me with a satisfactory answer to this. Needless I am extremely dissatisfied with entire experience.

I would recommend all people avoid dealing with Motel 6 if this is how they choose to do business.

The check in experience after hours felt like going to a liquor store in a dangerous neighborhood. Also when we arrived, a cop was kicking out a homeless person for lingering around but we were tired of driving so we decided to stay and lock up before going to bed. Other than that the room itself was pretty clean and cozy.

Location was perfect for an early Doctor’s appointment at UNM.

Rooms were small compared to other hotels, no coffee maker in the room, and no complimentary breakfast for the price of $85.00

The heater was so noisy it woke me all night. The light in the bathroom has a noisy vent, and always comes on with the light. very loud.

There was no information in the room for the office or for restaurants in the area. No tv guide, very low quality amenities. Had a small microwave and refrigerator.

And the morning office help was put out because we needed to check out before 8 am and retrieve our deposit.

I’ve stayed in this hotel years ago and in Santa Fe, and I was very disappointed in this one.

The Midtown Motel 6 is in an industrial area far away from any shopping/dining.or other amenities. The only things nearby are freeways and industrial buildings. Everything about the Midtown Motel 6 is bad.
The office was locked and secured from entry, prison-like. I had to pass my documents from outside through a slot under a solid bullet proof window shield. The impression was very unfriendly/bad with the desk clerk difficult to hear but I could not get out of this because I booked on-line an hour earlier through expedia.
The room was sparse, a bed (no bed spread covering the sheets), one plastic chair, a table, the tv with limited channels (40), a toilet, sink, and a shower with no shower curtain ( I had to change rooms to get a shower curtain). No carpeting anywhere, no fridge, no microwave, no hair dryer, no complimentary shampoo, no in-room coffee service.
The property outside is dirty with garbage scattered about and has potholes and pieces of concrete curb in the driveway access to my motel room. The exterior does not look well maintained.
After sunset, the area around the motel is a dangerous, dark place to be avoided. I wouldn't risk an evening walk. Instead, I wrote this review.
After this bad, disappointing experience, I will avoid Motel 6 in the future and will never book a room there in advance ever again.

Filthy! Don’t do it!

We were there for 6 nights, in 2 different rooms, we NEVER saw housekeeping. The trash kept piling up, we kept taking it out ourselves. The 2nd room we walked across the floor after showering and our feet were immediately dirty. We called the desk for housekeeping and were told they would come, we waited 5 hours, asked a housekeeper who told us our room was not her assignment, asked another who said the same but added “We’re really busy but maybe somebody can get to you tomorrow.” The first room had someone’s hair stuck to the headboard when we checked in. As someone who frequently travels with pets, I’ve been a loyal Hotel 6 customer for many years but this visit reflects badly on the entire chain! To make matters worse, this is not in a safe area, more than once we had street people approach our door. And because some of our nights were during Balloon Fiesta, we paid over $150/night for some of these nights. I would not recommend anything about this hotel!

Had booked 5 nights, the reviews I read were favorable but the motel was not. The room was painted concrete, about 10x12, half used bars of soap at sink, shower. Burn marks in bathroom sink, floor. Even though they advertise all rooms as non smoking the room stank of ashtray. We toughed it out 2 nights and told them why we were leaving. My wife was getting sick from the smell. The woman as the front desk came to the room and said she could smell it. She admitted she didn't have the greatest sense of smell so she had a maintenance man come and smell the room. She said he couldn't smell it either, but in Spanish he said he could. The smell got worse if you ran the air conditioner. For reference I smoked for 40 years and this room stank of smoke. They insisted they were charging me $280 for that day even though I informed them at 10am prior to checkout that we wouldn't be spending the additional three nights there. Just poor customer service, no offer of other room or anything. The room was dirty, dirt and debris on floor, hairs on toilet bowl, bathroom sink, the linen on bed had many hairs stuck to it (probably poor laundry machines). We had the unfortunate timing of coming for a funeral during the balloon festival and the rates were high everywhere. We ended up someplace else for almost the same rate and it was like night and day difference.

One of the worst properties I’ve stayed at. Zero amenities. They don’t provide any housekeeping. The room comes with the bare minimum, literally one set of towels and a bar of soap. No toiletries, no hair dryer, no iron. Most rooms don’t have a mini fridge or a microwave either which I guess you have to pay extra for. There is no kind of breakfast or any perks whatsoever. The pool that was advertised is half empty and filled with algae and pine needles. The first room I was assigned had curtains that were literally halfway falling off the wall. I had to insist on being moved to a safer room, as a single young woman traveling alone in a new place. Especially with the clientele and the vibe of the area. Could be a set out of Breaking Bad. My hotel room key stopped working every 12-24 hours, so I couldn’t get into my room unless I went to the front desk to get a new key. Fortunately the times this happened to me, the office was open. Had the office been closed, I would have been locked out of my room in an unfamiliar city. Overall a very unsafe and uncomfortable experience.

Smells like someone died in there

I thought \"I just need a bed to sleep in, not a fancy hotel...\" I was wrong! This place is sketchy as hell. There are some weirdos staying there, it feels very uncomfortable, especially for a female alone.
Also, there were people partying outside their room, with super loud music. I called front desk at 11:20pm and asked to do something about it. It was past midnight when it finally stopped. But then the noise from the freeway... ugh. And then at 6am: it noise started again. Let's just say I didn't sleep much.
Then, let's talk about the smell in the room... I had to leave the door open for a while when I first got there to be able to breathe. It smelled like someone died in there and they tried to cover up the smell with some powerful chemicals. Nasty.
And then the hot water... not so hot. And had to let it run for a while before it got warm.
Result: I'm exhausted, have a headache and I regret trying to save $40 by getting a (not so cheap) cheap room.
Would not recommend if you care about your health.

Check in time is 3pm. We arrived at 415pm and the room wasn’t ready. After waiting 20 minutes, we got the keys to the room. The room didn’t have a fridge or a microwave despite being advertised as having both. I went down to the front desk and they tried to tell me I didn’t book a room with a fridge/microwave. After showing them my booking details, they told me a fridge and microwave would be brought to my room.

Around 5pm, both were brought in. After another 20 mins, it was obvious the fridge was broke and was never going to get cold. Another fridge (about 2/3rds of the size) was then brought up. All this time, we were supposed to be meeting up with family, making us an hour late.

The first night was filled with police sirens and people walking around and talking at all hours of the night so no one slept.

The next morning, we attended balloon fiesta then intended to stop in our room to get cleaned up before going to be with family. We arrived to find that the bathroom light wouldn’t work. After about a half hour complete with another trip to the front desk, being hassled by a homeless man on the property, and witnessing someone getting taken away by ambulance from the motel, the light was fixed.

The room was dirty. It was obvious that the hard floors were rarely mopped and only swept. My children had dirty feet and we had to yell at them to keep their shoes on at all times. The only positive is that our car didn’t get broken into.
