The floor, fridge, microwave were super dirty as well as some of the walls. The telephone did not work, there was no remote. When we went to ask for extra towel and a remote they said they had no towels cus they were in the dryer and to come back later for the remote because they were busy! (It was about 9pm and I was the only one there)
Then the water to shower was cold forever, had to let it the water run for like 10 mins to finally get warm. There was also a cockroach in the restroom. If you have kids, I DO NOT recommend. Spend the extra $50 and get a decent hotel elsewhere. Worst hotel we have ever stayed at.

The rooms are absolutely filthy and full of cockroaches.

Employees are aware (but they will pretend not to be aware of issues) and will simply try to change your room.

No help with refunds (not even a partial refund) - won’t ever recommend this place. Take your money somewhere else.

Booked and paid online for 1 rooms, when I got to property they wanted me to pay for an additional room even though receipt I had showed 2 rooms paid for 1 night. Spent almost an hour outside at night in the cold trying to get it sorted with expedia and hotel. The desk clerk was rude and said there was nothing going they could do.
In the end, i have to wait for a refund 7 to 10 buisness days from expedia and had to pay upfront again for a room.
When I finally do get my 2 rooms, the sheets are stained, towels look used and extremely dirty, roaches in the bathroom. Shower handle came off completely when tried to shower.
I get that they get busy but take more pride in your building, be nicer to people and buy new sheets and towels.
Would not stay here again and would recommend uou find another place to stay besides here. Also ask expedia to have better standards, expected better help and better standards.

It was convenient but I got double charged and it took a week and a half to get my money back. Towels were stained brownish with even browner spots. But like I said proximity to work was worth it and they have on site laundry room so it was worth it plus I had my own towels as well as cleaner

I'll start by saying the staff is kind. That's about the only thing this place has going for it.
Do not book this place if you're going by the pictures. It is completely FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. You can't enter the main lobby (not sure why) and have to check in at the night window. My room was not cleaned when I arrived and had to wipe down everything with sanitizer becuase of the visible dirt. There was also a strange sticky substance on the phone that wouldn't come off. There were stains on the sheets, the mini fridge was broken, and the towels were stained as well. Even the tv remote was filthy and had to be wipped off. I would not recommend staying here if you don't have to.

I have stood there in the past, but this last time that I stood at this hotel was filthy. The blankets were all stained even the pillows. There was roaches on the floor coming from the AC and in the bathroom. I couldn’t believe how dirty the room was so I asked for another room and that room was even worse, but the blankets were not stained at least for the top blanket because I did not crawl underneath the other ones. But I did see a few roaches on the floor coming from the door. What does bad experience I will never be going back plus I believe they’re dealing drugs there because there was a few people standing outside of door watching the parking lot.

Gross

I’ve stayed at many Motel 6’s, and I generally know what I’m signing up for. This is by far the nastiest Motel 6 I’ve stayed at. First red flag was when I checked in around 5pm in broad daylight and the lobby was locked with a sign directing you check in at the night window. The room was so gross, gross stains on the was adjacent to the bed, the tv on the wall hung at a crocked slant, stains on the pillowcases and sheets, several huge pieces of tile broken in the restroom. The mirror on the wall had a huge crack and the toilet had nasty stains in the bowl. I definitely would never recommend this location, nor will I ever come back.

Not Satisfied with the stay

During my stay at the hotel, I experienced some issues that affected the quality of my stay. Firstly, I noticed a strong odor of cigarette smoke in the room, which was quite unpleasant. Additionally, I observed that the room was not properly cleaned, as there was visible dirt remaining. Moreover, there was mold on the shower curtain, and unfortunately, I even encountered some cockroaches crawling on the wall.

Ample Trucker Parking, but disgusting room!

Traveling thru the state of California in my box truck and need a quick rest/shower so I stopped here as it was close by, there was availablility snd AMPLE parking for my box truck. Parking lot for truckers is great! As most Motel 6 parking they always accommodate truckers. So that was not an issue. The problem was the room! It was disgusting. Smelled like cigarette, cigarette burns on the sheets/ comforter. The bathroom was gross. Honestly I don’t think the room was cleaned and if it was… wha a poor job. I slept for a couple of hours because I was dead tired but I couldn’t bring myself to take a shower. It was NASTY!!

This motel was really gross. It’s what you imagine a hotel that street level pimps and drug dealers would use to work and party at. Super dirty inside and outside, room smelled like cigarettes and like people were doing crack there right before we walked in. The bedding was torn and falling apart and the bathroom is a place I wouldn’t shower in. The guy who checked us in at the armored window was nice enough but it was just too gross. I would t stay here and I definitely wouldn’t bring kids here. We tried to stay because of location, free parking, and free pet stays but wasn’t worth it and immediately checked out and found another hotel.
