The place was horrible. Frequented with prostitutes and drug dealers. Wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. A very poor excuse for a hotel.

Ok, for sleeping (on top of the covers) only.
Very shady; seemed like the place to go for a good one night experience… Definitely not a place to bring the children.

Horrible
Horrible. Dirty the room smelled like there use to be an animal living there. The floor was dirty. The attendant did not want to take my confirmation# from Hotel.com and wanted me to pay for the room and get my money back from hotel.com. I refused and I had to call hotel.com with my phone so he can talk to them. He was rude. for the price that I paid was not worth it at all. this hotel should not be rated at a 2star it is actually a 1or less. Will never ever stay there again.

Not staying here ever again
stay a couple of times at this hotel, first time: they cleaned the room and did not leave me any towels, left the trash behind, it took til the following day for them to bring me towels. Second time: i requested late checkout and had asked hotels.com to call to make sure it was possible before booking, when it was time to check out late i got a rude man telling me he didnt care what hotels.com said because they dont run his business

Horrible bed bugs
Seems they have a infestation. I tried to contact the front desk and he simply says why are you just telling me now, because I though it was mosquitoes for a bit but the swells got bigger And I couldn't find a source to all the biting! Just beware!

get what you pay for
I am always looking for a cheap hotel. With that being said i dont expect too much. However, when i run out of towels, i do expect the hotel to have more. when i ask for towels from the front desk, they informed me i would have to wait until 930 the following day when the crew comes in. I had to dry my wet pool towels or the AC so that i can shower. also all rooms should at least have a microwave.

Meh.
Way overpriced for what it is. Shabby, dated rooms and rude service from the front desk upon check-in. I know Motel 6 isn't the Ritz, but it doesn't have to be such sh1t.

Do not go
Terrible. Room wasn't clean found flip flops and socks, peanuts on floor. No parking. Lights flickered. Smelled. Only stayed for about six hours left. Very deceiving. Customer service was not there at all. Totally ghetto. I shouldn't of been charged for for the few hours that I was there.

Most Disgusting Place On Earth
I tried to submit a review before, but they did not accept it cause I said something about the price. Woops. Wish I could rate a 0. The location was decent, but everything it was close to, was very run down. The whole area was. First, the guy at the counter looked quite irritated to be helping anyone who happened to walk through that door. The lobby was decent. But the room, oh the room. There was caked up dirt in the corners, everything you touched had a 'sticky' residue on it (that's right, sticky. It would be on your hands), there was a dried 'mystery liquid' on one of the chairs, and the bed spread was very questionable. I didn't end up staying, I couldn't. It was awful. The bathroom smelt of sewage and on the inside of the door, it looked like someone with blood on their fingers, had wiped their hand across the door. Seriously, I think there was dried blood... on the door. I was afraid to touch anything! I wanted to burn my clothes and take the hottest shower of my life when I left that place. And don't take your shoes off. The carpet looks as if it's never been cleaned. Oh, and after turning on the AC, the room filled with an odor strongly like urine. Like someone had relieved themselves on the unit. THEN, besides all that, on my way out, as I'm getting in the elevator, a man walks out.... With him is a woman of an illegal profession (you all know what I'm talking about). Leaving was the best part of this experience!

Wish I Could Rate It a 0!
This has to be the MOST DISGUSTING place I have ever been. The furniture was multicolored and only because some of the original coloring had majorly faded, in patches. There was a dried 'mystery liquid' on one of the chairs. I can only guess what it was. There was caked up dirt it the corners of the room. And the furniture was all STICKY. That's right, sticky. You couldn't touch anything without getting a residue on your hands. I didn't even sleep there. I was scared of the bed, which had a comforter that looks decades old and smelt like mold. Oh, and on the inside of the door of the bathroom, it looked as though someone, who had BLOOD on their hands, had streaked their fingers across the side. Bathroom also smelt of sewage. I stayed at another hotel that was the SAME PRICE, 2 days later, and it was so nice and clean. This place made me feel like I needed to burn my clothes after. The man at the desk had a look of distain on his face while helping us. Never smiled once, even though I was trying to joke with him. So, as if all that wasn't bad enough. On my way out, I was getting in the elevator. And as I was doing so, a man and a hooker came out of it! I wanted to puke! Please don't ever stay here!!!!

Wouldn't recommend
Not a good hotel to stay at. Very inappropriate activities going on and it smell like cigarettes. We paid for 2 nights and only stayed 1 because of the uncomfortable conditions. Wouldn't recommend people with small children. I had to buy disinfectant and spray our room down before I allowed my kids to get comfortable.

HORRIBLE
This will be my last visit to this hotel. The Motel 6 corporation should really investigate this location. It appears to be running as a known place for prostitution and drugs, with the smell of marijuana so strong in the hallways it is gagging. The staff is brutally insensitive to any requests made. A random woman wandered into our room as we first arrived and took our desk chair, to use for a lap dance in a nearby room. Calling the front desk results in being hung-up on and then told they are too busy to take any requests. Would never ever stay here again....not even for free. GROSS!

no parking
Forget about being able to park at this place. There were no spaces available when we arrived and there was no place to parallel park on the road out front for 1/2 mile in either direction. There was no room to turn my vehicle around so I had to back out into a busy street with little visibility due to parallel-parked cars. Unless you drive a mini cooper or a can opener, look elsewhere.

NOT FOR FAMILIES , DONT EXPECT GREAT CUST SERVICE
I STAYED HERE , BECAUSE IT WAS CLOSE PROXIMITY TO MY JOB AND CENTRALLY LOCATEDC. BIG MISTAKE , THIS PLACE IS IN THE HEART OF PROSTITIUTION AND DRUGS . NOT TO MENTION THE PROPERTY IS PRIVATELY OWNED , SO THEY MAKE THEIR OWN RULES. THE CHECK IN STAFF , ALL MEN , ARE NOT APPROACHABLE AND ARE VERY MISLEADING AND RUDE WHEN ASKED QUESTIONS. THEY DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH IF THERE IS MORE THATN ONE PRESENT WHEN U ARE CHECKING IN . THE GROUNDS NEED A MAJOR OVERHALL. AND DO NOT EXPECT TO HAVE MORE THAN THE ALOTTED MEMBER FOR YOUR CHECK IN , BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BADS. NO GUEST CAN HAVE VISITORS OF ANYKIND. IF YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THEIR REGULARS OR THOSE THYE ARE FAMILIAR WITH , THEN YOU ARE A LEOPARD. THIS MAY SAY 'MOTEL6 ' ON THE MARQUEE BUT THIS IS A THIRD WORLD , BROTHEL ON A MAJOR STREET. WUALITY OF CLEANING STAFF , IF YOU STAY ON THE THIRD CLOOR IS GREAT , BUT SHE IS THE ONLY ONE . THE RET OF THE STAFF LOOK LIKE THEY ARE UNBOTHERED AND BARELY CLEAN YOUR ROOM. THE SHEETS , TOWELS AND LINNENS ARE DINGY AND HAVE STAINS ON THEM. THE HALLWAYS SMELL OF URINE, EVEN AFTER A CARPET CLEANING COMPANY WAS THEIR ON DAY OF CHECK IN , THAT DID NOT HELP. IN TERMS OF PRICING , N=BEWARE OF YOUR BILL, WHAT YOU ARE QUOTED ONLINE WILL DIFFER WHEN YOU ARRIVE , ALMOST GUARANTEED. THERE ARE NO MICROWAVES , HAIR DRYERS OR IRONS IN THE ROOMS. JUST A TELEVISION AND REFRIDGERATOR.

No hot shower and we were overcharged.
I booked this room with pretty basic expectations: a clean safe room to sleep in and a hot shower after a long hard day. Unfortunately they were not met. The hotel itself is in a somewhat seedy area, seedy enough that I didn't feel safe walking down the street for dinner. The hotel itself felt secure, but forget exploring the area around it. Parking was a nightmare as the lot is small and the stalls too small for our full sized truck. If you have a trailer, you will not be able to park it here as they do not even have enough parking for one car per room. Checking in, though I had reservations through hotels sitcom, I was overcharged by $20, and that wasn't the 15% hotel tax. With the extra tax on the rate they charged me it came to almost $30 in overcharges. The room itself was large and clean, the bed comfortable, but the AC was weak and didn't really cool the room adequately. There were only three pillows on the king sized bed so I was glad I brought my own. The shower, while clean and with adequate water pressure, had no real hot water. The choices were ice cold or barely tepid. Needless to say, we will not be back.

Had to wake up at 7 am to move my car.
I have never wrote any reviews in my life, even I spent about 130 nights away from my home. This establishment must be looked into by a corporate team. On the day I checked in after 6 hours drive from San Baraddino, I and my staff checked in around 11 pm. There was no parking, which happened. I was going to move my car to the street, but I was asked not to park on the street but forced to park in front of a trash bin, which I did not mind. On next morning around 7 am, I received a call from a front desk. I was asked to move my car or a front desk need to tow my car, since a garbage truck was unable to pick up garbages. Next day, I returned a hotel around 11 pm again. There was no parking. I was going to move my car to the street, and I was yelled at by another front desk cleark... I was told to park in front of other car, so a motel staff can move a car next morning..... Why they did not keep my key on the first day? Why sould I be yelled???? Probably this is my mistake to book the lease expensive room I can find that area.

Doesn't worth it
Bathroom light comes w/ an extremely loud fan, couldn't hear anything when the fan is on. Hot water is only available at the lobby, no water heater in the room, not convenient at all. Plus there was a woman screaming at 1:00 in the morning, thing she yelled get out and nooooo, makes me think it's a dangerous area.
