Will never be back.
Cons:

I found a pair of dirty socks in my bed, under the covers. When we asked for a refund we were denied. The whole room felt dirty and we all threw our clothes away after to avoid bringing bed bugs home.

Never again
Pros:

Horrible management staff, Room was not ready even though I had my reservation days ahead and spoke with management regarding my arrival. This happened twice causing me to have to wait hours for a room I had already reserved. Was placed in a very loud side alot of wild parties and loud guest. Room didnt include amenities thay were promised upon reservation and arrival. Other guest complaints of bedbugs next door to my room. Did not recieve deposit back after manager verified Room was clean.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing horrible staff

Bugs on the floor, room reeked of smoke.
Pros:

The room was cheap, and I was able to check-in after 1 a.m. local time. Other than that, I was thoroughly unimpressed.

Cons:

The night attendant did not provide very friendly customer service. When I asked if the Motel 6 had a continental breakfast, the night attendant essentially said, "This is a Motel 6, what do you expect, why don't you go to Denny's for breakfast." Thankfully, there was a Denny's that shared a parking lot with the Motel 6. Next, the floor of my room was literally crawling with bugs. I had to squash about a dozen bugs before I felt comfortable crawling into my bed. Thankfully, the bugs were just on the floor and not in the bed (I think). Finally, my room reeked of smoke. The smell of smoke was so heavy that it was difficult to breath inside the room. I would not recommend this Motel 6 to someone else.

I checked in and checked out after seeing the condition of the room. There is no way i can stay in a room like that. I a
Pros:

That it was close to our purpose

Cons:

Staff- in fairness, she did the best she could. But it took a while before she was able to assign us a room. My guess is there was no house keeping available to clean the room. There was a guy who came to the office i did not expect him to be one of the staff because he wasn’t dressed appropriately- untidy, pants with holes. But he was helping the front office staff.
Location- doesn’t look safe
Room- was not cleaned, bed is not made as expected ( wrinkled and made by someone not doing it on a regular basis ) , AC was on a full blast like someone just left.

God awful!
Pros:

It was close to the hospital where my wife needed emergency surgery.

Cons:

The facilities were dirty, filled with pot smoke and had trash and linens all over the grounds. Basic toiletries are not provided. I was told to go to the grocery store down the street for soap and shampoo.

It’s a Motel 6 so it’s just what you’d expect a motel to be like.
Pros:

my husband was doing a Spartan near Mahon Ranch so the location of the Motel 6 was very convenient, and it was cleaner than other Motels I’ve been to.

Cons:

This is obviously a motel where women of the night are brought to because during late night hours, you can see people coming in and out, dressed very provocatively, so it didn’t make me or my spouse feel safe at all. There was also a man a couple doors down from our location who was yelling and screaming with his door wide open and it seemed like he was having like a psychotic episode. The front desk was extremely rude and they have this weird rotation with their towels. I’m assuming the towels get stolen a lot because of the women who are working maybe they are taking them or something, but we weren’t given many towels upon our stay and we needed a few more just to get two more towels was a hassle. We were being questioned left and right over some TOWELS, it was really annoying and frustrating to say the least and as soon as we arrived, the floor was like very sticky. If you’re somebody who walks around your house or walks around your hotel rooms usually barefoot this is something that would’ve annoyed you. I don’t know who cleaned the hotel room before we got there, but they clearly did not mop because there was like a film all over the floor.
