One the rooms smelled of mold. Two housekeeping walked in didn't knock as we layed half naked in bed. Three it was dirty. Four the toilet didn't work. Five shower was nasty took 15 mins to get hot water. Six towels was dirty. Seven the place was just plain out nasty. I got sick and had breathing problems from just a few hours of sleeping and we got up after housekeeping just barged in. And we left.

Shower faucet was falling off. It was all loose. The bathroom light didn’t come on for several seconds after you turned it on. The patches in the walls were awful. The refrigerator barely worked, but all the staff were very nice and helped.

A Truly Disappointing Motel 6 Experience

My recent Motel 6 stay was a major letdown, especially for the price. The cost just didn't align with the room's poor quality. Upon entering, a persistent, old, musty smell hit us. It made the room feel anything but fresh. While the room was surprisingly large and initially seemed semi-clean, an ancient AC unit barely cooled the space, leaving us uncomfortably warm. The bed was comfortable, a small positive. However, the room didn't resemble the online pictures at all, which was incredibly frustrating. The online images showed a modern space, unlike the worn reality. The biggest issues were basic necessities. There was virtually no internet, and hot water was sporadic or completely absent. Trying to shower after a long day was a chilly, futile effort. Ultimately, these frustrations made us cut our vacation short. We just wanted a hot shower and a fresh environment. The spacious room and comfy bed offered brief comfort, but the musty smell, ineffective AC, misleading photos, and critical lack of internet and hot water made this Motel 6 stay one I wouldn't recommend. The price simply wasn't worth the compromises.
