Disappointing Stay Due to Hygiene Issues

Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing due to cleanliness issues. The hallway had a very unpleasant odor, and our room’s floor was dirty, with sticky spots resembling dried glue. Although the beds were made, we found hair between the sheets, which raised concerns about the hygiene standards.

First off the parking lot was littered with trash and beer bottles. The room was discusting. There was poop or puke on the floor. Something was wiped on the walls. The rooms smelled like weed. The floors were sticky. When I went to the front desk to tell him about how dirty it was he told me he could have the cleaners come clean it again. When they came to clean it they just dumped cleaning solution on the floor and wiped it up with a dust mop. After explaining to the front desk that we were not satisfied with the room he told me if I wanted a cleaner room I should pay more… I was paying 177 a night… I do not recommend staying there.

Awful, filthy experience

The worst hotel I have ever been to. I was late in booking a room for the Berkshire conference, and this was all that was available. The room I was given reeked of cigarette smoke and there was significant noise from other guests and the highway all night. I additionally saw what looked like a prostitute and her clientele checking in at 6:15am. After having a terrible sleep, I told the front desk that I wanted to check out immediately and asked that I not be charged for the second night I booked. The front desk manager agreed to this, but hotels.com has informed me that the hotel subsequently changed their mind. Do not stay here.

Several transient people hanging around the area. Our room was supposed to have a fridge and microwave. It had neither, although there was a place for them. A lamp with outlet didn’t work. Needs some work, to have the ratings it shows. Disappointed.

Police Worthy with desk clerk incident. Booked and prepaid. Got the room key from the front desk clerk. Dragged all my stuff up only to see there was no bedframe, the mattress leaned up against the wall and, what looked like used bedding thrown somewhere nearby. Dragged my stuff back down to the front desk. The clerk was outside and came back in when he saw me. While I was waiting I took a photo of something in the lobby. I told him about the room and that I obviously needed to get a different room. He demanded that i delete the photo that he had seen me take.. Told me I had no permission to take the photo. I told him I need another room. He absolutely refused until Idelete the photo and demaned I show him that I had. I will be contacting Motel 6 regarding this incident so opting to not go into further detail.
