Motel 6-Ilion, NY

arrived to check in on July 25, 2025 and found motel closed and out of business. no one contacted me from Hotels.com or Motel 6 in Llion, NY to inform me that the hotel closed since I booked it in December 2024. Had to make other arrangements since it was the baseball hall of fame weekend and no other hotels were available. stayed one hour and a half from Cooperstown, NY.

DO NOT STAY HERE. This is not a real hotel. It’s a run-down shell of a place in a scary part of town. It was totally deserted (one ONE car in the parking lot), had notices from the city in the front door about illegal long term rentals, smelled of cigarettes and pee and appeared to not even be a working hotel. Totally abandoned, not a soul in sight. A hand written cardboard note in the lobby said “close”. Some of the rooms appeared to be where squatters were living. A scary experience. DO NOT GO HERE.

Arrived only to learn that the property was CONDEMNED back in April! (Ever try to book a last minute 3-night stay anywhere within an hour of Cooperstown on Hall of Fame weekend? There is a reason I booked 6 months in advance, and even then it was slim pickings!) Perhaps some day we’ll look back on this and laugh, but today is not that day.

This was a replacement night for a hotel I had booked 8 months ago. When we arrived there, it was boarded up and out of business since April(3 months ago). Took an hour for Hotels.com to find a room. Hotel was pretty dated and rundown. Room was ok.

Think you should unpost this place as the local say its been shut down for months

When we got to the horel we found it has been closed by the health dept. And has been for several months. Luckily we found the last room at another hotel. I will be disputing the charge.

they closed since few month ago. and we were nothing to drive there. and make me pissed off...

Turned away no room available when we arrived.

The hotel was a little bit tired and needed some major refurbishment. Also, the area surrounding was not the best.

Hear people fighting and throwing things parking lot never got plowed and no one put salt on sidewalk and uncomfortable beds I'll never stay again

Aside from some uncleanliness in the bathroom (dark sports on the wall, hairs on the shower curtain and wall), an ok stay for a weekend

It was comforting clean and I loved the lady at the front desk :)

When got to assiged room, was already occupied. Then for heat/cool. the unit was hard to control and was very loud

The front desk was not friendly and the room door won't lock properly

This was the dirtiest, nasty hotel ive ever stayed at. Worried about bed bugs. Slept on top of bed fully clothed & even kept my shoes on.
Comforter had large cigarette burn holes in it.
Room smells like smoke. Nats flying around & had to kill some other bugs. Never again.

Needs updating

Our tv wouldnt work. Two different staff came down and after 1 hour it worked. Thee outside of the hotel was not good looking. I had to clean the hot tub out before we could use it. The jets hardly worked and the when i set the timer it turned on a fan in the ceiling. The sheets had holes in them and the pillows were tiny. Staff was very nice though

This hotel room was fly infested and dusgusting, and we questioned the cleanliness of the bedding. It was only one night, but we would never recommend thus motel.

This was the worse motels that we have ever been at. All of the rooms that are shown in their photo were taken so we were assigned room 111 on the back of the building. On entering the room it seemed something was off not only was the air conditioner on but the windows were wide opened without screens. That allowed a group of flies and beetles to enter to make the room buzzing all night long. Some simple amenities were missing: waste paper basket, plastic cups, some Kleenex. Wi-Fi service proved to be difficult although the desk clerk was able to restore it. Room was a bit pathetic with lousy pillows and bedspreads decorated with cigarette burns. The door lock was extremely sketchy. Although we booked for 2 days we left after one as we were able to get a room at a nearby motel that was originally fill when we were looking for accommodations. Ran back to get our luggage and realized why the windows had been left open. There was a heavy stench in the room. Our room should never have been opened for use.
