Motel 6 motel 6 boulder highway, las vegas - power lost in motel room

Returned from dinner to our room the evening of November the 9th, 2018 to find the power out, no air conditioning or lights and the room was 97 degrees. Went to the office to find that the motel staff had locked the office and gone. There was no power back up. The power remained off until 4;30 the following morning. The staff the next morning made no effort to refund our money or give us a voucher for another night. We find it difficult that a Motel chain could be this negligent . What if one of us needed the power to operate a medical device? We think we should be compensated.

Foolish child, how is a power failure their fault. You stayed there with no issue so you should have no issue paying for your stay. If you cannot afford to then sleep in a cardboard box or homeless shelter.

Motel 6 cleanliness

I must say that we will never stay at MOtel 6 ever. The bathroom sink drain was clogged with hair. The mirrors were so blurry you couldn't see yourself . The bathroom light was very dim. Called for a maintenance man to put a new build in. He did so and said all the bathrooms have dim lights. Floor was dirty as well. Shower walls were not cleaned only wiped down and mold around tub. Ever disappointed.

Motel 6 dirty room with roaches and everything

Date July 21-23, 2018
I did my reservation through SnapTravel. My check in was easy and the receptionist was very fast and kind. I paid $176.33 The room at first sight was so so. Then I notice a little roach, but I was in hurry, so I sprayed the room with insecticide, today when I came back, my room is full of dead roaches, meaning they didn't clean my room at all. I complained with the receptionist around noon. It is 2PM and I called them again and nothing has happened. I want my money back, my room cleaned and somebody from the health department to come and inspect this whole building. I have been cleaning because the insecticide I sprayed. Hope you can help me, thank you.

Motel 6 harassment

Motel 6 in lubbock Tx.
I been staying here for 6 days.
My 3rd day i requested a key at desk, un uniformed girls came out saying i was on a blacklist. They check computer, shrug it off without explanation.
4th day i go request change for vending machine, manager asks my name and says I'm not allowed on property and states I must be in someone elses room. Checks computer and sees I'm in my room and not on a blacklist. Again NO explanation.
Today, minutes ago a housekeeper comes banging on my door saying we are smoking marijuana. WE Do Not Smoke Marijuana!
I am being harassed by these employees for unknown reasons and need record for future references.

Motel 6 motel room

We stayed at motel 6 in Altoona iowa. The motel rooms smelled overwhelming with must/mold. Our floors were seeping water. We changed rooms 4 times with no change. We paid cash for the rooms for 2 days so we were stuck there. We had to go to Walmart and buy air freshener and scented candles. Opened the window so we couldn't run the air conditioning. Which by the way my husband cleaned out(disgusting). These rooms were unfit for people and we should have been offered a refund from the start. The clerk acknowledged that she has this issue with patrons everyday and that the hotel is very bad. So why keep it operating? I want my $285 back. Most miserable stay ever! This motel needs shut down!

Motel 6 cleanliness of room.

Floor was not swept or mopped, left side of toilet at bottom was nasty, all corners had not been mopped well for awhile. Shower stale had beard hair, long hair on walls, wrong commode lid, ac barley worked, but once i cleaned the filter worked. We just left a Marriott at $105.00 a night...to $70/ a night...they defiantly need housekeepers here or the manager needs replaced. I am a food and beverage manager . I would never order food from here because of the condition of the room. Ive stayed at several motel 6 across several states...this by far is the worst in cleanliness. July 15, 2018 Goodlettsville, TN rm 132.. Refund or free 1 night stay good for 180 days. Receipt #

Motel 6 filthy

Not only have the prices gone up ridiculously high compared to other hotels in the area. The rooms were horribly dirty, they smelled of cigarettes and weed, and were all just too nasty to ignore. I say rooms because after my initial complaint about the disgust in the room, they gave me another room that was just as bad as the first. I couldn't even stomach staying the night.

Motel 6 motel 6

My son in law and I stayed in the Ogden Utah Motel 6 and was so scared we slept with loaded guns. Crack heads were everywhere and up all night long walking the floors and halls. Time to shut this hotel down! We trade a trailer and had to park it so close to a fence it was so no one could easily open it although it was padlocked what a waste of $50 some dollars. Never again. #Shut It Down

Motel 6 rooms/ customer service

First of all rooms are filthy with mold inside the bathroom and the shower. Then Alexis at the front desk is very rude with a bad attitude. In one of my rooms there were roaches. The rooms stink badly. Room service came to my room with a cigarette in her mouth. There weren't any towels available when we needed them. There was no accommodations or amenities such as a refrigerator, microwave, or an iron. If I had to give a rating overall rating it would be a negative-1 star. Pathetic and worse hotel experience ever in life.

Motel 6 accommodation

I checked in and find out the pool was out of service. Something we weren't expecting because I called the day before. (Driving from Cypress, Tx). I asked if I could stay one night and not have to pay the second so we could find something with a working pool. Lady at front desk said no. I try to enter with my bags and one card isn't working at the entrance. I enter the hall and it's covered in debris. (Not vacuumed). I get into my room and the fire alarm is hanging off the base. I have a missing fitted sheet. They said they had no more. Second day I asked for more towels. They said they could look for more but they were out. Head board fell from the bed. Wall plugs weren't working for charging our phones. We went to utilize the microwave and it was disgusting. Toilet won't flush.
I have pictures upon request. I have stayed at other locations before and this is amazingly bad!

Motel 6 check in

I made reservations online and sent request for early check in as i am disabled and had pets. When i called to make sure we could check in early, i was there were no rooms available and that it would be about 2 hours til one was. The reservation was for 1 queen smoking. 2 1/2 hours later after sitting in the Sun, and my pets as well we were then told check in was not til 3pm. I am disabled it was 100° outside. I requested early check in, i called at 11am and was told 2 hours which i understood as ppl were checking out. She knew I was disabled, she knew I had pets, she knew we were sitting outside in 100° heat. And after 21/2 hours she decides to make us wait, not because there wasnt a room available but she said check was 3pm. I did what I should have, requested early check when reservation was made, i called in advance and we waited 2 1/2 hours before asking if we could check in. She was rude, totally uncooperative, and had absolutely no compassion or empathy for my disability, my pets and the fact that we were sitting outside in 100° heat. I have stayed here numerous times and have never had a problem or been treated so rudely and unprofessionally. It is now 2pm and we are still outside and have been for almost 3 hours.

Motel 6 very gross room

I reserved a non smoking room and when we got to the hotel at 4pm they said our room was not ready. Came back an hour later and they gave our room to someone else and all they had was a smoking room so we had no choice but to take it after a very long drive from Michigan. The room stunk sooo bad and the sheets had burn marks and so did the bed covers. I couldn't sleep all night because of the smell. I want a refund for that night from hell. Plus the guy in the room next to us was dealing drugs from it all night long. This has made me never want to go back to Utah ever!

Crack in ceiling, bathroom was not clean, mold in shower around the tile. The air conditioner looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. I would like a refund if at all possible, I did try to find the manager while there and could not locate them.

Motel 6 the whole stay was horrible

I walked into the hotel to check in and the guy at the front desk barely acknowledged me and just kept talking on his cell phone. I said I need to check in and he told me I couldn't they had other things to take care of and I should come back in 30 minutes ( this was after check-in time). I went back in when i noticed other people were getting rooms. He gave us a room and we get all our stuff and head up to the room. We walk in and the room isn't even clean. There is cigarette burns every where and it is supposed to be a non-smoking room. We notice there are only 2 towels and we are a family of 4 so we go ask for more towels and they told us they didnt have any. Mind you this was day one. We get in the pool the next morning and we go to ask for more towels and still told they don't have any. So my family of 4 is sharing 2 towels to dry off after the pool and shower. We were here 2 days and never did receive any more towels. The staff was so rude, the pool had maggots floating in it, the room was so dirty, the sink was stopped up the whole time, and there were people outside at all hours of the night being extremely loud and doing who knows what. I was so uncomfortable here. I didn't expect a fancy place because of the cheap price but I do expect something as basic as a towels so that I can shower!

Motel 6 motel 6, 311 central city blvd, galveston, tx 77551

We stayed at this Motel 6 June 27th and 28th. When we checked in we were not given a room with a couch (we needed it for our son) so I went to ask why and to let them know our fridge was leaking and not keeping cold. I was told that we couldn't have a room with a couch even though I called and asked if they were available before I reserved our room. One lady said that our room was cheaper than the one with the couch, then I was told that all rooms are the same. Which does not add up because if I'm getting put in a cheaper room, why isn't the price the same? Not to mention I reserved the room ahead of time and was told when I called that it would be available. Right when we come into our room, there was a puddle of water on the floor that the staff did not deem worthy of concerning ourselves with until we asked them to clean up. She told us the fridge worked after checking the plug, we had to keep a bucket of ice in it to keep our milk cold. The room had holes in the walls, the bathroom was nasty and tiles were falling off the wall, the walls had white patches all over the place and they were not clean, the dumpster was overfilled with trash. We checked out a day early after my son found roaches crawling around the beds. They did refund us the money for night of the 29th but I want my money back for the other nights. My son had to sleep at the bottom of the bed for two nights because they couldn't make reservations correctly and we didn't get to fully enjoy our trip. Please email me about resolving this issue.
