Motel 6 dog bite

on 05/10/10 i was a guest at the motel 6 in evans colorado and was walking toward my room when a man who worked for the motel as maintenace aproached me with a very large bulldog.as he was aprochjng i asked him if his dog would bite and he replied that the dog wouldnt bite so i continued in my direction. when they were within a few feet of me i kinda paused and squated down so that i wouldnt seem like any kind of threat to the dog.when they got within the dogs leash distance
the dog londged at me and bit me on the throat.i went straight to my room so that i could look in the mirror to see how bad my injury was.i was bleeding quite a bit from puncture wounds that were left behind from the bite. blood began to soak my shirt and chest.at that time it occured to me that i had better ask the owners of the dog if it had all its shots.i went to the front desk and spoke with the manager who is the girl freind and co-owner of the dog.i informed her that i had been bitten by their dog and she told me that she thought it was best if i left the property and if i didnt that she would call police and have me removed. i told her to call an ambulance also.the police were called as was the ambulance and i was told by police that the owner who was on the property wanted me to leave.i was treated for my wounds at the greeley hospital.i have tried many times to speak with the owner and he has hung up on me

Motel 6 cleanliness of room

When first walking in the room the smell was not pleasant. it was musty. I looked on the floor when I saw a dead roach.. o.k now im concerned. I look in the bathroom to see a roach running around. OMG. what is going on? This is Motel 6 that we all see advertised on T.V to be nice and clean and comfortable. Not this one.
I see this red stain running from the shower curtains. I was getting sick not to mention Mad.. we just paid a great amount of $ for this place.
the floors looked unvaccumed. The bedding was awful. old smelly, with cigarrett hole on it. Who is in charge of cleaning this place?please
It was around 11pm. We where just so tired exhausted. All we wanted was rest, not to be on the look out for bugs and things.
Thank God we had our own towels. and pillows. and blankets we just threw over the bed. What a shame.
Not to mention, no military Discount... WHAT! what up with that?!
who are theses people?

Motel 6.. false advertizment shame on you!

I stayed at this Motel 6 location for a week, and for the most part was satisfied. There was an issue with housekeeping- when they cleaned the room they just changed the sheets and mopped. They just set towels and toilet paper on the bed as well as a huge plastic bag. When I called to ask if they were finished, they said yeah- and we put stuff in there for...

Motel 6 stay away

If any of you veterans out there are planning on visiting Seaside, Oregon for Veterans Day, the Motel 6 there is a pretty nice place to stay, it's economical and you can bring your pet.

But my wife and I were barred from ever staying there without any reason given. It may have been the manager is an anti-war guy and didn't like my Viet Nam Veteran license plate holder.

If you do stay there, I would really appreciate it if you would ask them about that and let me know.

Motel 6 unsafe

My name is Janet Robinson, my daughter and I stayed at the Motel 6 stated above. It was a frightening experience to the point where we called the police. At 3:30 in the morning the phone rang. The caller was lude and explicit about what he was going to do to us. He knew what we looked like and even when we walked our dog. This went on until 6 am. I called the front desk as earlier that day I had seen a security guard. I lodged my complaint and asked for security to come help us. The desk clerk refused, saying that I should just unplug the phone. I told her that was not possible as I have a sick sister at home. The obscene caller said he was in room 159, we were in room 156. When I told the front desk this the female clerk told me that was impossible as there was no one in that rom nor any rooms on our side. When the police came he knocked on room 159, there was a couple in that room and there was also a couple in a room right next to them who oddly vacated immediately as soon as the police car was out of sight. My daughter and I spent the night in total terror with the constant phone calls which were very threatening. Upon packing to leave we were terrified as we knew this person knew us yet we didn't know what he looked like. I have a complaint # 841945. I was told to speak to Linda the motel manager yet when I called she was not on the property. Aside from this there were holes in the wall with duct tape over them. Why have a security guard on sight when he won't come to help? No one should have to go through what we went through and not one person who worked at the motel showed an ounce of concern or care. My daughter still has not gotten over the ordeal, neither have I. It was like living in a horror movie. And we had to pay from 9/19/09 to 9/22/09 to be put through this. I hope this matter gets resolved as I am so very tempted to call an attorney for neglegence on the part of Motel 6 #0123. Respectfully, Janet Robinson

Motel 6 money hungry

I drive a truck cross country and broke down on 08/16/09 and the company put the wife, dog and I up in a motel6 affiliate called studio 6 in garland, texas.I'm being reimbursed for the room but still my company is getting screwed. first it has a 49.00 plus 10.00 for the extra person and a 10.00 fee for the dog. Then because I had to pay cash they charge 25.00 refundable deposit.No big deal we are not going to tear anything up. The 10.00 fee for the dog is non refundable even though the dog is well trained. I am only 100 miles from home but did not want to drive there for our truck might not take too long to fix. So my daughter and her 4 kids (6 and under) came down to see us and spend the day. They were tired at the end of the day and had an air mattress with them, so we just blew up the air mattress and was going to have the kids sleep on that. The price said 10.00 per adult and 3.00 for each child so I tried to do the right thing and go to the office and explain that the kids were going to stay the night and offered to pay the extra 22.00 and was refused, they would have to rent an extra room or leave. My room was 60.00 plus tax with a dog fee. Their room(since they had us by the cahunas), was 79.00 plus tax without a dog and of course the 25.00 refundable deposit because it was paid with cash. I think the is shoddy business practices and will not spend another night here, I have already paid for tonight so I will stay, but don't care how many days the truck is broke down, I won't be back. Tom Boadette may leave a light on for you but it will cost you, BEWARE AMERICA. RON WEST ROOM 160

I believe it is a matter of the fire code. Regardless if they are kids or not you can not have that many people in one room.

Motel 6 rude staff/security/poor up-keep

This place is a zoo, children running around with no supervision, rude staff, and property that looks like a third world country. And when you BUY there internet card you are continously kicked off line.
And do not expect anything to get repared in your room, because english is not an opion.
I plan not to stay at another as long as I live.

Motel 6 policy

This it! I have used my credit card for my children using rooms from Mi clear to Ca. Most had information and took it by phone from me should the kids be short on cash! This Motel refused to take the card by phone, When I called them they said if I reserved a room with my credit card, I could do that. But they still would have to see my card. Well, you know your cards are checked out and you have your information on the back. Thnka alot motel 6, we have decent collage kids in route to college and I am the proud nana who will help them? No thanks to you! I hope your corp. office see's this!

Your college-age children will not suddenly turn on you for not being able to book a hotel room, at their age, the age I AM AT, being able to pay for their own cheap hotel isn't going to be the end of the world.

These kids are obviously old enough to fend for themselves, as opposed to your credit card information being stolen because you gave it over the phone.

So perhaps you would have been the outstanding "nana"[a word I beg you to never use again] you strive to be for the more then capable family members, but did you consider there where security problems being taken into consideration by this hotel? Obviously. not.

Motel 6 manager and house keeper

I honestly do not want to be a bother. I just wanted to inform you that we will be checking out of your hotel and will not ever be a guest at any motel 6 again. I have been asking politely for towels, tissue, and clean sheets for two days. I did not receive them. I saw a lady outside changing the garbage and ask her if I could please get them. She then insisted to bring the house keeper to my room. The house keeper began rolling her head raising he voice at me saying that we never ask to have our room serviced when I personally told her that we needed these items. I have had all I can take for the treatment my family and I receive here so I RECORDED THE CONVERSATION ON MY PHONE. The manager insisted on telling me that I HAVE NO COMMON SENSE, WAS TRYING TO BE A PROBLEM, WAS TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FOR FREE, AND THAT I AM A LIAR! I am in my right mind to take this recording to my lawyer and file a suit for discrimination being that I was just personally attacked by two of your employees just because I ask for clean towels, sheets, and toilet tissue. I very seriously doubt that anyone will take the time correct the behavior of your employees and how the guest are being treated, but if anyone ever decides to, the name of the Manager who made these comments to me is FRANCINE WALTON. We will be finishing our summer out at another hotel where is may cost more, but I'm willing to pay to be treated like a guest. I am disgusted that I have already put out all the money to stay here for nearly two months and I wish you the best of luck trying to keep this place up and running.

Sincerely,
Donna Smith.

When we checked in, and arrived at our room, we noticed that the bathroom was still dirty. When we pulled back the covers, there were pubic hairs on the bed sheets, and feces on the blanket. I called the office, and we were moved to another room, which was no better in cleanliness. I would never stay at another Motel 6 again. DISGUSTING!
