I've stayed at many Motel 6's. In my experience, they are usually basic, clean accommodations. This one was poorly maintained and NOT clean. Broken furniture in my room, clogged sink drain, and a filthy bathroom floor. Before I took off for a day of meetings on my first morning, I mentioned the bathroom floor to the very friendly guy in the office, and he took note of it. When I returned late that night, the bathroom floor had not been touched, my bed was unmade-- but I had been left fresh towels. I can understand that businesses are expensive to run- but making sure a room is clean for the next guest doesn't cost any more-- it just requires management to consider that a priority.

I couldn't check in because their computer system was down on one out of 5 occasions. Otherwise, this property is great for its proximity to Union Market. Staff is accommodating and kind. Everything is somewhat clean and good enough for a no-frills motel. Easy free parking.

I enjoyed my stay near the Union Market. This motel has a nice grassy area for the dog. The beds were good, walkable to markets, easy parking. Danny was very helpful, welcoming, and kind. Every staff member was friendly and made me feel comfortable.

This place was an absolutely nightmare. Filthy walls, floors, linens, heater unit, and bathroom. Reeked of smoke & weed. The first room we were given reeked so badly of pot that my friend’s daughter went into an asthma attack 3 minutes in the door. 2nd & 3rd rooms smelled a bit better, but had un-mopped & unswept floors with spills & hair (not ours), dirt & god knows what smears & such on the walls & headboards, a ring in the toilet, & what looked like mud splatter on the shower curtain. Then there were the 2 beds. Both bedspreads were clearly dirty, with crusty stuff. The sheets on the left bed had blood stains & hair, & the sheets on the right bed & non-blood/fecal human discharge that was dried & flaking off. But, we were out of options so we went to the store & bought cleaning supplies & cleaned as best we could. When we showed the very nice cleaning lady the sheets she did not even bat an eye, as if this was the normal status. She went & got us ‘fresh’ sheets, & once we unfolded them the new set had a non-blood human fluid spot on them too! We complained, to no avail. The desk clerk seemed annoyed with the room switch requests & like this was just the status quo. Mind you, we paid through the nose for two nights at this slum of a hotel because of the weekend. We all slept on top of the sheets, fully clothed in our outerwear, because, in addition to the filth, the heater unit was caked in dust and filth, & we were afraid to turn it on. We left after 1 night.

Accommodating management

I requested a nonsmoking room but none was available, so I initially stayed in a smoking room...which was not very comfortable for me. After two nights they transferred me to the Red Carpet, into a nonsmoking room, which was great. I appreciate their arranging the swap.

Refund

I requested a room with 2 beds and they gave me a room with one bed and no air conditioning and when I went to change it they gave me another one where there were large cockroaches and no mirror. They supposedly wanted to refund my money.
