It was absolutely disgusting! The floors looked like they haven’t been mopped in God only knows how long! They were sticky filthy! The towels were stained to hell and back… there was no wash rags floor mat face towel etc. the sheets were stained discolored holes all in them. The entire inside of the microwave was rusted no plate in it, was unsanitary! The fridge was horrifying… I’m livid at the fact that I spent money on a room I could barely even be in because of the condition it was in… I went and paid for cleaning supplies to clean the room and bought a new blank just to sleep on because I refuse to sleep on that filthy bed…. I’m disgusted with the conditions the outside was trash everywhere random people walking up knocking on the door looking for other people! I will be contacting corporate office about it. I had my camera lens not be broken I would have taken pictures!!!

I don't believe the room was even cleaned before I got there. There was a towel hanging on the bathroom door that looked like it had blood on it and a bar of soap still in the bathtub. I didn't expect anything fancy at a Motel 6, but the room in general looked gross.

The room was not only dirty, it was disgusting. The area around the bathroom had not been cleaned in what appeared to be a very long time. There were dark nasty stains on the bathroom walls, light switches, around the toilet and shower. There was chunky crud with hairs sticking to it around the baseboards and sink trim area. I regret (and am a bit embarrassed) not moving to another hotel or even telling the front desk. I just had the sinking feeling that another room would have had even more issues and the front desk staff didn’t seem particularly receptive to input. I was in the area for a funeral, so I wasn’t looking for much and didn’t have the emotional energy to engage in anything that could be construed as conflict. I just needed a budget motel to get me through the weekend. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
The room positives were a working AC unit and soft, comfortable bed. Check in was easy and I felt safe enough.

Went to check in at 5, no staff was on campus, their friend told me that they would be back in 10 minutes. We just came back later. Most of the staff were nice enough though. The room AC barely worked and it was so humid there was mildew everywhere and the floors were slick. Holes in the walls and doors. The safety lock barely worked. The grounds had trash everywhere and mattresses were stacked in the breezeways and on the outside. If you are staying with pets, there was no where safe to walk them to potty. The price was cheap but still high for the condition.

I was subjected to horrible treatment as soon as i arrived. The staff was horrible and the room was just as bad. The bugs were just as bad as the staff. On top of all that, i was charged for a stay, and i didnt even stay there. I canceled at the propeerty and yet they stll charged my card. A total ripoff all inall.

The room was tidy. The floor was dirty, but the room was critter free. Unfortunately, the mini-refrigerator still had items from the previous occupant and the items had spoiled and mold had grown inside. I used my cleaning supplies to remove the mold and wipe it down. I left baking soda inside to remove any lingering odors.

Good Stay for working trave at an Affordable Value

I travel to Alexandria frequently for work & stay at the Motel 6-Studio 6 on McArthur Drive. Rooms are spacious, clean & sanitized. It gives off cozy vibes like an extended-stay home away from home on an affordable budget. Can't beat the price! Parking lot has lots of lights & security cameras. It's easier to see your vehicle & you feel safe during your stay. The managers & staff arewell approachable, people-oriented, children-friendly & are always available to help you address your concerns. I enjoy those random conversations over hot coffee. Located close to everything...convenient stores, shopping, restaurants, hospitals, dental offices & the like. On those long tired days, when you just don't feel like dining-out, you can order in from the menu provided in your room.

2nd room: filthy
3rd room: BLOOD stains on the pillows!
Our only other option was to sleep in our car. So we slept in our clothes on top of the blankets and used the towels that we had to go get(none in the room) as a pillow.
The ONLY good thing was that the staff refunded us our money for the 4 nights we had originally reserved.

Frequent Guest at Motel 6

Traveling for work, I find myself back in Alexandria, Louisiana. It's good to know you can stay in a hotel where you are recognized, well-known by staff, & feel safe around familiar faces. This is how I feel staying at Motel 6.

The room was dirty. Filthy fridge, floors, hair in tub, walls just DISCUSSING. The mirror was not wiped down with the right chemical hard to see yourself. On the outside a lot of people you can tell had some form of substance abuse. Just not a safe place for families

Burn it down to start over

The place needs to burn down to the ground honestly and then scrape and rebuild something nice in this place. Considering the electrical issues that were in my room, it’s probably not gonna be long before it happens anyway. Hairballs in every corner. Feces on the bed covers Pillows were so old that they were yellow and dingy. The door didn’t lock. Electrical socket in the bathroom didn’t work. The light in the toilet and tub area didn’t work. The toilet wouldn’t flush the bathroom sink wouldn’t drain. The towels had holes in them. They were so old. The floors had been mopped in about a month. I’m gonna stop right there, but don’t ffhdking stay here.

Do not ever stay here!

Do not stay here ever! This is absolutely the worst place we have ever stayed. Sleeping in your car at a rest stop would be a better choice and 100% safer. As I type this out - we are listening through the thin walls, have one eye on our car, and listening to mariachi music playing loudly. I cannot believe this place is even open - and cannot believe motel 6 finds this acceptable. The photos speak for themselves, but sadly they only allow 8. If we weren’t so tired we would have left. It’s simply just gross - dirty, moldy, everything is broken, burnt outlets - I could go on! The only thing I can say is this place needs a bull dozer!

Staying here doesn't feel like your just sleeping in a motel room. Its like an extended-stay, your home away from home, sort to speak. Rooms have a cozy feel & are very clean & tidy. Close parking to your room always available & the area is well lit. Staff & management show genuine concern about their guests comfort & safety.

Never again!

We walked in the room, and stayed ten minutes while we called another place to stay. The room had a very distinct bad smell, the beds looked like prison beds, the room was dirty, and an old coffee cup with coffee in it was still in the fridge. When I went to check out about 20 minutes later, the front desk person said they hadn’t checked that room yet. Never again!

My problem is about the quality of the hotel. It does not look like the pictures at all. It was extremely scary and old and worn out. The bedspreads were torn. There was only one pack of toilet paper. The water tap was loose and could have been worse. It did not make us feel comfortable at all. Only the TV and refrigerator seemed new and were of no use to us. Just Staff were friendly
