Your car will be compromised. Stay elsewhere.
Pros:

Motel 6 is traditionally a pet friendly chain.

Cons:

First off when checking in the front desk staff was reluctant to check us into the room because she said it does not pass the sniff test even “after cleaning it smells like a pet room” but two bed room was not a great fit for us.

Upon entry the room was as dark and the entry light switch did not work. I fell while trying to locate the next working switch.
TV stand armoire had two broken faceless drawers, Two of the lights had no lampshade, dried dog feces was lying under the bed, the king bed is raised up about 4 foot off the ground & difficult to
get into. Sheets had many yellow and brown stains, curtains held a strong scent of cigarettes.

We were exhausted and needed sleep more than Anything. Woke up at 3:08 am to the sound of a car jack being wheeled under our jeep. Two cars in the parking lot were poised to steal our tires. They saw my partner from the window and retreated back into the waiting vehicles. My Partner clicked the alarm and proceeded to pack up our belongings, the two cars stayed parked w lights running. Front desk staff was notified of the situation and they remarked there are only 2 police officers in town and something is stolen off a guest vehicle every weekend. One of the perpetrators entered the motel and asked to fill a take out container with ice. He was identified as the person using the car jack but no action was taken to report the incident. The two vehicles followed us as we drove out of there motel parking lot and then broke off as we entered the highway.

It was an okay stay. Won’t go back around this area again.
Pros:

The room was very clean and sheets were clean. We appreciate the fridge and microwave as well and the pet fee was nothing crazy. Pricing was okay.

Cons:

The only bad thing about this motel is that it’s a very bad area. Please be aware of the lower class area. We were very nervous about our vehicle or getting robbed/broken into. We did not feel safe at night due to the high level of crime. We had to check out early because during the last day on the 4th of July around 11am we got back in from breakfast and it seems some bad men were scoping out cars and people to commit crimes later on. One even followed at a distant behind us and checked back to see where our room was. We felt a bad feeling and immediately packed and left to our family’s home 30 mins away. We did not get our refund back for the last day but I guess that’s okay. Just exercise caution and always be aware that Petersburg isn’t such a safe place. My husband (24) and I (23) and our 8 month old dog stayed here

Room was newly redecorated and clean and comfortable.
Pros:

Close to freeway and minutes from downtown Petersburg. Manager was friendly courteous and helpful

Cons:

Being woken up at 11.18p by banging on my room door by a rude desk clerk who insisted that I move my car. This even though the desk clerk who checked me in had not raised the issue. The clerk who insisted I move my car said the first clerk didn’t know where I could and couldn’t park my car. Result lost sleep and aggravation for 1 night of a 2 night stay

Pros:

Pulled off the highway to get some rest. I always just get a cheap room. The room was absolutely nice! Smelled of bleach and fabuloso greet me. Bed was super comfortable. Great staff and place.

Cons:

Nothing
