First non-smoking room i was given smelled heavily of smoke. Staff was quick to change rooms for me. Second room wasn't cleaned properly. Soda cans left on window sill. I dont think the bed sheets were changed as chip crumbs were on the comforter and under the bed sheets....so that just about sums it up. I will be going somewhere else in the future. I just ended up sleeping in my sleeping bag on top of the bed after too tired to deal with the hassle of changing rooms again

I stayed on the property and had no issues at all. I have a Dooley truck with a 40 foot trailer and they were nice enough to let me park in the front. When I’m traveling on the road at times it’s difficult to find a place to stay at because of parking. I had no issues at all. AC was really cold. It’s an older place, but it’s taken care of.

Stayed 2 nights in April for Coachella (2nd weekend) although the place was a little dated it was quiet, clean and safe! I had no issue everywhere was getting premium prices for the weekend this place was one of the cheapest I THINK? Anyway my only negative would be I THINK the pool was closed? Anyway definitely cool!

I stayed here because it was one of the cheapest options during Coachella. So I knew that it wouldn’t be the greatest place. But it was literally dirty. There was old food on one of the beds and on the floor and all over the wall. The floor was dirty and one the beds sheets had wha looked like dirt but could’ve been stains. Idk. I know it’s only a Motel 6 but I feel like it could at least be clean of I’m paying over $600.

Clean room, facilities, parking was simple and provided. Air condition in room was fantastic. We would have liked an ironer for our clothes or perhaps a microwave available in the room, but other than that and that the hotel staff doesnt come and ask if we needed more toilet paper or towels, good experience. Wasn’t sure if we needed to put confirmation with a sign that wasn’t available or we had to go to front desk to inform staff, but will be noted for next time.

The staff was really sweet, but dear god charging that much money on Coachella to end up in a room smelling cigarette, rusty bathroom with crazy noise coming from the AC that you can’t even turn the light on, dirty towels and hole grossly patched on the door. Terrible.
And you can hear your neighbor snoring. We didn’t even sleep for the last night. We left back home directly.

For a motel 6, this was subpar. I've been to other motel 6s and this one was one of the worse ones. The pillows were flat as paper. Make sure to ask for extra pillows early because they will run out (gee, i wonder if the pillows are flat in every room?). There's no microwave or hair dryer in the room. The mattress was hard. Overall, you'd be happier staying somewhere more expensive.

There were several people both nights just handing out in the parking lot and the persistent smell of marijuana.

If you are looking for an inexpensive Motel Room with No Frills, Outdated Furniture, No House Cleaning Every 3Days, Noisy AC. This is what you get. Dont expect anything but a roof over your head. It was lowest priced Room for our dates but next time will pay slightly higher rate and try another Hotel/Motel.

First room we checked into had red stains and pieces of food on the top blanket. The toilet had poop in it and wouldn’t flush. The second room they gave us was an improvement but not by much. Smelt terrible, floors were so dirty I didn’t wanna take my shoes off and only had 1 full size towel. The smoke detector was cover with plastic wrap and tapped, bit of a safety issue and fire hazard. The TV screen had a weird dark blue tint over the picture. I know it’s a motel and not the expecting much. I’ve stayed in cheaper priced motels that were way cleaner, this building looks like it needs to be condemned. I would have felt more comfortable sleeping in my car.

The room was filthy!!! There was hair in the sink, months of dust on the top of the tile in the shower, and the floor had not been cleaned (at least not with clean water) probably in a year. To walk across the floor with damp feet was to have thick black dirt on them after just a few steps. The walkways around the hotel were disgustingly dirty as well.

The room was in okay conditions kinda beat up and snelt like smoke but it was clean. We only stayed one night and wanted to just sleep but that didn't happen. There were people yelling and screaming all night. One crazy lady even ran up to us yelling asking where a guy ran off with her room jey. Called the front desk at 3am because a guy was right outside our room singing very loudly. Someone smoking crack or some sort of drugs not weed under the stair case by our room my kids saw. In the morning as we were leaving we saw multiple homeless parked around some with flat tires looked like they have been there for weeks. Even a few ladies that looked like prostitutes. I did not feel safe their with my kids. I reported to the front desk and was nice about it and explained i usually don't complain and can deal with a lot but this was ridiculous . She took my number to hace the manager call me to see if I could get a partial refund but I never got a call. The staff was friendly though.

It was a stay for local business. I may have picked a poor date. The prices for the whole area were high. The motel parking lot was full of motorcycles and their owners were up partying late into the night. My \"non-smoking\" room smelled of cigarettes and sweat. The peep-hole in the door was just an open hole which i needed to stuff with tissue. And the smoke detector had been sealed with a plastic bag. The A/C was very loud. The bed was extremely uncomfortable; a thin, lumpy, plastic-covered, 4\" mattress, lying on a piece of wood. Then, the motorcycles began starting up and playing loud music at about 5:30 AM, as they roared away, in small groups, until about 7:00. Needless to say, I won't be back.

I was here for three days as a travel hospital worker for the area. The first two nights I slept there, but did wake up to freeway traffic noise.

Did you have an air conditioner, which I wish we would just stay on for the background noise, but I only clicked on when it needs to cool down to that temperature

Why give it such a low rating is because the last night I was there there was a bunch of motorcyclists at the Hotel. Instead of going to a bar to be loud and party, they decided to make a lot of noise on the property. They were also smoking right outside my door, and it came in through the air conditioning vent.

I called down to the office and yet it didn’t stop

I’m nothing against motorcyclist, I’m one myself

I’m just disappointed that I got 2 1/2 hours of sleep and then had to go work a 12 hour shift exhausted because the place that I went to lay my head was excruciating way loud

If they take off with their bike, they shouldn’t rather their engine in the parking lot

And they should talk to each other inside of their unit instead of out on the porch where they’re yelling back-and-forth like oh I’ll be right back

It’s totally not considering the other guest and the walls are enough that you can hear it

Made my reservation 2 weeks in advance. I checked in at 4pm and no rooms were ready. The desk clerk then forgot to tell housekeeping that I was waiting, and I ended up having to wait 1.5 hours in my car, for housekeeping to do other rooms before they got to my room. Finally got checked into my room a 5:30pm.
