Couldn't stay here was turned down for no reason. Until the ask management, who wasn't here on the e
Pros:

We'll never come back booked on booking. dot com prepaid receptionist was rude and declined. May stay something to do with management. Did not smoke in the room, did not steal. Anything did not make a mess. No answer on the eighth evening. Luckily, I had enough money on my card. To get another better motel, I would never come here again. How insulting I'm very clean person. Drive a new car, clean records, not a criminal, yet giving no reason why they declined. My stay, how convenient cause took me a couple extra hours out of my time yet. I stopped here next day at noon. No manager here and no reason. So we'll complain the corporate. And I will put on social media too. No reason for a decline. And when I do find out, I better have a good reason, because I can't find one I would go stay at the red roof and it's only a couple of blocks, much cleaner, safer and noticeably better clay and tell, I can tell better travelers et. Cetera, people here seem kind of sketchy. Although the receptionist woman, a couple of weeks ago I did stay here. One night was very, very nice, but the guy on the eighth evening was what I consider. Rude, and no explanation to turn down my stay. When I already had prepaid, so now I gotta wait 4 days to get my money back on my card. How convenient I would not come here ever again, as there are many other motels and much better. Even the Ramada Inn is worth the extra few dollars as I believe you get a nice breakfast there. If this c***** hotel, you don't get anything but turned down, sometimes right will not come here again, ever motel. 6 airport. I have plenty of time to go put on More reviews too. Don't waste your time here and money

Cons:

Didn't like anything was turned down for no reason. Prepaid on booking.com, only stayed here a couple of times in the past 2 months left the room reasonable didn't take anything was quiet. No animals, one person me and no reason for being turned down from management. So I would not recommend Motel 6 airport to anyone. I would go to the Red Roof Inn. It's very close in price and much better. And cleaner and safer, as you have to go through a lobby and then to get to the room. So you're much safer than the one here, where the doors are exposed to the outside. In 99 is well-known as a high crime area. I would feel safer at the red roof end. I would go there next time. I would not come here or recommend this to anybody plus the guy was rode when I came in to try to get my room that I had prepaid for

Scary hotel
Pros:

Nothing good about the stay.

Cons:

The hallway stunk of cannabis. Doors were broken to get into the facility. The room above us were hitting the floor so hard it was knocking the light fixture above my bed. No phone in room to complain. Used my cell phone to call but couldn't get through to anyone. Didn't want to go out side because it got shady in the hall way. Once it became light outside we left. We will never stay there again. Scary place.

Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr zentral in der Nähe des Flughafens und der Interstate 5.

Cons:

Die Nähe zur Interstate 5 sowie die Lage an einer viel befahrenen Straße macht die Umgebung sehr laut. Weiterhin ist das Motel sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Die Einrichtung ist teilweise sehr abgewohnt.

Quite and clean.
Pros:

Convenient location. Near to every place I needed to go

Cons:

Had a feel of the 1970s. It could be renovated.
The water in the swimming pool was cold. They should install a heating system in the pool. Some of the TV channels seem to be frozen.
