The property is very old and dated. Had a terrible smell to it and in a not so nice area. There wasn’t even any shampoo, conditioner or body wash or any toiletries just two small cheap bar of soap. Needed a place to sleep as we were traveling through on our road trip so booked last minute. I would not stay there again would rather sleep in the car and save the money.

Wasn’t a good experience, ac/heater didn’t work in the room. Bed smelled like bad body odor and the cable the last two days didn’t work. Complained to the front desk but they couldn’t care less. Unfortunately this is what you would expect from a Motel 6. My fault for booking with them.

I had a very bad experience with the girls at the counter. I arrived around 11 pm. The area doesn't look safe. They even take care of guests through a widow. They don't open the door. There were two girls talking to each other when we arrived. I was told to give them 5 minutes. I waited in the car for about 10 minutes. When I went to talk to the girls at the counter I told them that I we were staying only one night and that it was not right for them to let me wait. One of them told me that they were changing turns. She told me that if I didn't stay the four nights, I will loose all my money. I told her that I didn't feel comfortable staying there the 4 nights. She told me that they will not let me stay there even one night. I went to the car and was looking for a place to stay when the security guard came and told me, \"Please go away, they don't want you here.\" So I will not recommend the place at all.

First we had a lot of problems with the key cards, second the A/C-Heating unit had the controls all torn out I had to google the unit to turn it on, third the lab sink was broken and the drain clogged fortunately I’m a plumber I unclogged the drain so we can use it, forth the tub drain had thrash inside so once again had to removed it to be able to shower, I asked for cleaning and the crew showed up at 5 pm not acceptable, fifth we found trash under the beds which it was disgusting I can’t believed this place is such a mess I understand they’re in the process of renovating but they need to pay more attention to the rooms not the outside we will definitely never staying here and it was not cheap I feel we got ripped off by this property

First of all, there is no elevator to get to 2nd floor, and there’s only 2 stairs on each end and not in great shape. Idk how they expect for anyone to bring their luggage to the 2nd floor. Another issue I have is there is no microwave or mini fridge, and also no iron/ ironing board. I ask for front desk if they at least have a microwave at the lobby for me to use. She said NO. Too much noise due to ongoing construction/ repairs.

Our room was dirty, the heater/air conditioner was broken and their solution was an extra blanket, the door had a gap that left a draft in, the TV channels were incredibly limited, the only soap was one tiny bar for the sink (nothing in the shower), and they only left one towel for us.
Would not recommend.

The people that work at this motel hate their job. They were not nice at all. When you stay multiple days you are supposed to call before 10 am if you need your room clean and I called at 10:05. They said they couldn’t clean it for me. I notice the room was not very clean. They were hairs on the floor. Also, the pool is under construction so no pool!

I Think They Are In The Middle Of Construction There Was A Lot Of Materials In The Parking Lot. Which Made The Space Limited. Also If Your Traveling With Elder Parents It’s Hard Because The Only Bathroom With Safety Handrails In The Bathtub Is The Handicap Room Which Is Only 1 Queen Bed. I Believe They Shouldn’t Be Placed In All Restrooms Not Just The Handicap Room Once Again That ONLY Has One Bed. It’s Hard For Like Families Like Mine. I Needed 2 Beds One For My Dad And The Other For My Daughter And I.

The lady that checked me in was super nice and professional. The room was ok. My overnight experience was terrible, when I turn on the water to take a shower there was a loud noise. when someone from other rooms were taking a shower there was a loud noise coming out from the shower it sounded like someone was drilling the wall. I don’t know if they had problems with their water pipes but we weren’t able to sleep, because people in other rooms were taking showers at night ( I know it wasn’t the guests fault) . The next day when I checked out I let the front desk guy know what was happening and he said that they didn’t know there was a problem and maybe it was the water pressure. I hope they’ll fix the problem.

We only stayed for one night so we did not explore the property per se. Significant renovation work was underway as installation of new stone pathways were being installed. But the work site was clearly marked and clean and quiet during our brief one-night stay. Staffler very friendly at this Budget hotel.

Room was ok if you do t look too closely at it. It definitely needs some wear and tear maintenance done in there.

The ac was great, they were doing work on the pool so lots of debris from that around. It is close to a couple fast food restaurants...It was priced right. My husband went to pick up one of our bags to load, and a bottle of wine broke, I made sure to tell the front desk who handed me a broom and a dustpan to clean up the glass shards..no problem. Easy off and on interstate.

Good price and the parking lot was well lit, which made me feel safe. The place had all the basic amenities I needed. However, the TV had a line on the screen, and the shower head was leaking and didn’t provide enough water pressure.

Need a room for one night because I was working in town. This room adequate for just that. Nothing fancy. No complaints.

The room was filthy, disgusting. I took pictures and showed to manager, and he gave me partial credit which, to tell you the truth, was not enough. Never again.
Thin thin towels, only coffee provided in 'lobby', if you can call it that, and no de-caf.

The bed needs to be replaced; the springs were shot.

There was trash under the bed and the microwave didn't work. The bed was not the best nor the pillows. The pictures only do not compare to what the actual room looked like. I also understand that the hotel was under construction or something but it was a mess every where. There were no signs only a caution tape around the grass.

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

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