We checked in a litte before 9pm and it was kinda a lengthy process for check ins. Got to our room and several cars were outside with music blaring and a bunch of people drinking..yelling. Got to the room no remote...went to office to get one they gave me one with dead batteries so at that point i just tried to go to bed...lots of noise though.

Good price and the parking lot was well lit, which made me feel safe. The place had all the basic amenities I needed. However, the TV had a line on the screen, and the shower head was leaking and didn’t provide enough water pressure.

The room was filthy, disgusting. I took pictures and showed to manager, and he gave me partial credit which, to tell you the truth, was not enough. Never again. Thin thin towels, only coffee provided in 'lobby', if you can call it that, and no de-caf.

There was trash under the bed and the microwave didn't work. The bed was not the best nor the pillows. The pictures only do not compare to what the actual room looked like. I also understand that the hotel was under construction or something but it was a mess every where. There were no signs only a caution tape around the grass.

Traveled with partner
Disliked: Amenities
Staff was extremely nice. Room was clean-ish. No complaints about the bed, linens appeared and smelled clean. No thick blanket or extra pillow ..bummer. Bathroom was a little rough, hair in tub. Mold along upper grove of bathtub only one towel for 2 people, but the office did give us more upon request. Cigarette smell despite non smoking room. Plastice bag over the smoke detector.. Walls and doors very thin. Heard every step, sneeze, conversation. Didnt expect much from this place, but overall felt safe and that i slept in a clean bed. Wouldnt go out of my way to stay here again, but its ok in a pinch. Price was a little steep for a place that doesnt offer soap or a mini fridge haha. But it was a holiday weekend, golf event, last minute booking etc. If youre just looking for a place to get some sleep-this is probably ok. If youre trying to relax and enjoy your time here in the Monterrey area-spend the coin somewhere else.

The room was clean and the mattress was good. Ridiculous pricing at $200 for a Motel 6 - they really got me for a one night last minute stay when everyone else was full. For that price they don't even provide shampoo. Was lucky to get soap.
