Room was in poor physical condition but the worst part was the room was heavily infested with cockroaches from walls and lamp shades to the bath tub to the beds themselves. Took photos. Had to check out that same evening and look for accommodations elsewhere. Just a totally bad experience. Hotel said they couldn't refund the charges but had to go back through hotels.com.

Amazing Customer Experience

The night shift worker was very attentive and had excellent customer service. He made our experience👍 there very welcoming and let us know what time coffee was and that ice machine was being rebooted. I needed some towels due to a soda spill and he was quick to assist with no hesitation. Thank you Motel 6 for a great experience. Two thumbs up.

Didn’t expect much when staying at a motel 6, but also didn’t expect our room neighbor to be prostituting out of her room. Countless men came and went. Cleanliness of the room was subpar. Facilities quality was subpar. Bathtub looked like t had cigarette burns. The sheets had cigarette burns. I killed 2 roaches over a 4 nights stay. It was my first and definitely last time staying at a Motel 6. It’s not worth the “savings”

Not clean. Expensive.

While I don’t expect a lot from a motel 6, I have stayed at many better examples of this chain. I expect simple, utilitarian, but clean. Clean is not what we got. There was mildew or mold on the ceiling. The walls and doors were visibly filthy. Not sure the sink had even been wiped before we checked in and, unfortunately, they were fully booked. All this and this was definitely the most I’ve ever paid for a motel 6. Not awesome. I think the standards may have changed since previous reviewers stayed.

This place is definition of HELL!

When I threatened to call police, they picked up the phone and called the guest who owned the dogs. When I confronted the guest about abusing her dogs, she said her friend who was subleasing, a pregnant druggies, didn’t allow dogs in the room so she left them in the car all night and to the next day. Absolutely HORRIBLE! The staff should be be fired or replaced.

I had to call front desk from my cellphone as the phone was not working in the room, he came and told them to stop this and close the door. Then, they put a tv very noisy per hours until sunrise when I left. Really the worst Motel 6 I have been in my life. I am now thinking in never go back to Motel 6. The freeway was extremely noisy as well. Not a good place.

Good stopover before/after a flight

This is a good place for a quick and affordable stopover on your way to or from the San Jose Airport. The pros: the room was clean and comfortable, had a nice deep bathtub, location was a short drive from the airport and there's a Denny's right next door. The cons: on the night we stayed it was a bit noisier than we'd like just from the amount of folks coming and going at all hours but otherwise there were no issues. Good value.

Unsafe

This is one of the most unsafe place I have ever stayed in in a long time and I travel a lot. I was literally scared. There is a sign on the door to lock and deadbolt for your safety. And I understood why.
People that have likely been evicted live there full time. There are weird looking people just hanging in theirs cars at night, probably drug dealings and playing loud hip hop in the parking lot, homeless right around the property, people fighting and banging doors in the middle of the night. Or randomely banging at your door. I will never stay there again. Staff was nice but this was such a scary place and I felt unsafe and did not get any sleep for three night due to the noise level outside the rooms,

I got there thinking it was a family oriented hotel, and upon arriving to the parking lot, due to the presence of people dressed in a certain way indicate that it might not just be family oriented, but more adults only. I express my desire to move forward to another hotel and ask politely to get reimburse cause I was not sleeping there with my mother, after a couple phone calls with Expedia and the hotel, I got a straight no.

Good Basic Accommodations

Motel 6 only offers the most basic amenities: a (very comfortable) bed, shower, sink, toilet, TV & AC. No shampoo. But there was no hot water after 8 pm. (I stayed for 5 nights so got to thoroughly test that out.) They could be more eco-friendly by not changing the towels and soap every day. All laminate flooring, so little chance of bed bugs and don’t have to be concerned with gross carpet.
