Air conditioning unit in the one that I slept in room 118 sounded like a freaking airplane jet taking off all night long I had to turn it off and just sweat all night just to sleep. Other than that it was a little ghetto the pool was clean at least the room was clean and seemed nice. The price was right but had I known I was not going to be able to sleep very well I would have chosen a different place

The room was awful with a sticky and tacky and dirty floor and food on the phone and we requested to be moved to a different room. Twice during the night with the deadbolt and safety latch on our door, we had an attempted break-in. Apparently the front office staff never told other employees that we had switched rooms. This happened at 8 PM and 1 AM. The shuttle was not working so we had to pay our own way to get to this hotel. It was absolutely disgusting. Never go back to this place. Horrible!!

We stayed stayed at Days Inn our first 2 nights in Seattle. It was awful. The elevator was broken. They gave us the 3rd floor and you could hear people carrying their luggage up and down the stairs.

The front desk is dirty and dingy, which should have been a clue when we got there. There was only 1 person working and the check in process takes forever, and trying to get a refund was impossible! My friends room has food on the floor from the last guest and their room stunk just as bad. It was just so terrible. Expedia shouldn't even offer this place on the website!

Didn't like this place, bad surroundings. Didn't have a shuttle from the airport to the Motel. They said that shuttle was in the shop for repairs, but they didn't rent another shuttle, while there's was being repaired. Motel 6 workers and Manager weren't helpful at all. Just gave us excuses for anything we asked about. Expedia shouldn't represent this Motel at all. No microwave, but listed it on my reservations.

We pick this hotel because it was close to the airport and offered a shuttle service. The shuttle service stops at 11 and our plane was late, but I called them when we got to the baggage claim and they accommodated us to pick us up. The van was ok.

This property could have been kept up better. We were originally put in a no smoking room that reeked of smoke and the AC blower did not work. Upon request, we changed rooms. There is no breakfast on-site and nothing within a walking distance. They do have a shuttle service to/from airport but need to call as service times are unreliable. Even the hotel morning departure, although was scheduled the day before, was over 25 min late. There is a bus stop directly across the street that can get you to the metro train for cheap transportation rides downtown. We took it and it was easy. I've stayed at other Motel 6 locations that were a whole lot nicer and cheaper than this property.

Very good budget option near the airport - must take a bus or the paid shuttle offered by the hotel. There is a city bus that runs just a few feet from the front door connecting the hotel with the airport itself. Rooms are standard-smart, with a fridge - but not a microwave or water boiler. The hotel looks a bit run down from the outside but rooms have been renovated. There is a laundromat on the premises.

When staying at a \"budget\" hotel, my requirements are that it's safe and clean. We didnt feel unsafe, but the hotel is as GRUNGY as it gets, plus STINKS the odor was pretty strong
Pretty sure that there are people who also live at the hotel. If not, they have some very odd room numbers/locks on quite a few of the doors. Beds were ok, water pressure fine but for us taller people we had to question why they would install such short shower heads, Lol
One of those hotels that make you question a lot of things.
Front desk supervisor was incredibly rude and flat out unprofessional. I would not recommend staying here, unless you had no other options! We stayed because it was a budget hotel that didnt charge extra for parking. We will gladly pay extra next time and stay elsewhere. Morel 6 is better than this....dont be deceived by the pictures.. Gross!!

We booked this motel because it had free shuttle service to the airport. At 7 pm we went to the front desk just to confirm the shuttle time. At that time we were told the shuttle was not in operation. So, NO service available and no back up plan. The desk person didn't even inform us of the change. If we hadn't checked on the time ourselves, we would have had NO CLUE that our ride to the airport was not happening. We asked the clerk to help us find taxi or shuttle numbers and that did not happen. We scrambled trying to find someone on google that was still open. This was a complete nightmare and a HUGE added expense. I feel Motel 6 should reimburse us for the alternate arrangements.
Also, our room was to be a non smoking room and it had a terrible cigarette odor. Hard to breathe.

Overall experience was good. The 3 members of Staff that we met during our stay were helpful and pleasant.
We were able to leave our bags as we arrived early. Rooms were clean but the aircon was noisy.
It was our first experience of a Motel 6 and would probably not have booked it but as the World Cup was happening, prices were very expensive at all the Hotels that we would of preferred. Hotel 6 was also higher than we would normally expect of this kind of hotel/motel but a very big bonus was the free Airport shuttle bus.
Fairly close to the airport for an overnight stay!

Unfortunately, our stay was disappointing. The room was not properly cleaned, and there was a strong cigarette smell throughout the room despite expecting a non-smoking environment. The shower faucet was loose, and the hot water pressure was very low in the morning, making it difficult to shower. On top of that, we were charged twice for our stay, which was very frustrating. I hope these issues are addressed to improve the experience for future guests.

Yuck! The hotel was gross, dirty and not secured. If it would not have been a 13+ hour travel day for us we would have walked out.
Bedding had burn holes in it, appeared clean but had stains.
Shower was not cleaned and had ‘hairs’ in it.
Shower water took a lot of force to get it to turn on, was a pull mechanism.
$220? What a joke. Never again Motel 6. I had no idea. Pictures are very misleading.

I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt and It may have just been a bad night for them. But it was a very bad situation for us. First, the courtesy van to the airport was broken. (I had called the motel direct, prior to booking through Expedia to make sure they had transportation to the airport.) They explained it had broken that day. Okay, I asked about cancelling reservation and going to a different motel. I was told I had to call Expedia. Called Expedia and the guy said he had to call the hotel. He called back and said they declined my request. When I questioned and complained about it, the owner said that service is complimentary. I explained, Ishould be allowed to cancel since they did not have the service they advertised. When I called a different hotel and was going to take the loss. I was complaining, she approached me and offered to provide an uber. That I appreciate. The desk clerk that night held her composure well given her situation. The batteries ran out of power on the key card machine. When she went to change them, the entire battery pack fell out of the machine and she could not get it to operate after that. She called the owner and others and no one was able to help. People piled in and had to wait as she tried to resolve the situation. The solution was for her to use her master key card to open each room. The room was not bad, a typical Motel 6 room except some soap on the floor in the shower and smelled like smoke. It was to be non smoking.

Check in was good. We got there early and she let us check in and leave our luggage. Facility is very dated but rooms were clean. We booked this as it is close to airport and they offered free shuttle. We took the shuttle to airport to catch the train into Seattle and it brought us back. However when I went to confirm it for the morning and our flight back, I was told the transmission went out and there was no shuttle. I was told I could get a taxi or Uber. We ended up paying $114 for a ride to the airport. Feel like we should be compensated. Don’t book here.

The holes were terribly filthy with all kinds of trash and filled trash cans. There was no hot water in our room. It was also very difficult to figure out how to operate the shower. The Wi-Fi only worked with phones and not computer, computers or iPads. The television only showed very very fuzzy images. The shuttle to the airport was frightening. The windshield was cracked from one side to the other, the seatbelts didn’t work, and the driver was not driving safely. Normally this room I think would’ve caused $70 but because of increased needs due to the sports events, they charged $140. I would have never stayed here, but all the other hotels were filled. Terrible terrible place.

Whenever someone, staffs or guests, open/close the gate to the swimming pool, it creates a loud banging noise that every room nearby will hear it.

I called and talked to a motel 6 representative and they confirmed the airport shuttle and $7.99 parking before booking anything. We were told when we arrived that Expedia and the Motel 6 representative were not educated on that particular location. On the upside the beds were comfortable.
