It’s a Motel 6 not the Ritz

Front desk was very helpful. Had an issue with my card and door. Not sure if the batter in the lock was dying but it had some issues turning the deadbolt. There were high amount of cigarette burns in my blankets and sheets. I even got poked by a broken piece of plastic that was in my bed. There were also no wash cloths. I did have to remind myself that it was a Motel 6 and not the Ritz. I didn’t expect too much coming in. It was a warm 4 walls once the heater kicked in and the bed itself was comfortable.

I think people live here people hanging out outside all night, smoking pot, smoking, cigarettes, people, yelling, and screaming and other rooms up and down the halls. The only thing I could say was the bed was comfortable. We woke up at 3:30 to start getting dressed for our train we had no hot water in our room, the night before my husband went down to get towels because for a double room with four people we only had two towels and one washcloth. They told my husband they had more towels so me and my husband had to share a towel and my friend and her husband had to share a towel , overall experience was horrible. The hallway smelled like cigarette smoke and I know smoking hotel pot smoke just filled the hotel and the entranceway where people were hanging out it made you feel unsafe.

Poor cleaning service

It appeared the sheets weren't changed. Found several hair strands. The room nor the bathroon had been swept or mopped. Hair and dirt in corners and along the wall. Bed was fairly comfortable. And the front desk lady was friendly and helpful when we checked in.

Bed Bugs and overall a piece of trash property

I got back home to Vermont, with my brand new sheets I purchased because this place was disgusting, and I saw a large bedbug crawling on the pile of laundry I was waiting to bring in the house. I will be testing the process to get compensated by Motel 6, because this whole experience has been a travesty. Full review below... ------ In town for a concert and not picky about my hotel rooms. The room was filthy. Under the mattress was crumbs and food. The ceiling was falling in from water damage. The air conditioner worked but was covered in dirt. The headboard fell off the wall and revealed massive holes. I brought my disgusting pillowcases and asked for new ones and was given two equally disgusting pillowcases but with a massive hair ball attached. I was there for 5 minutes before I found a local Target and bought my own set of sheets and pillows. If I had to guess, 75% of occupancy is long-term tenants with no other options in life. Hard pass.
