Motel 6 – Page 52

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

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.

My family and I went to a wedding in tulsa 3-13-09 to 3-15-09 and it was an awful experience the rooms had bugars on the walls the bed was broken they stunk the carpets were nasty we had prank callers all through the night there were partys all night it was an expreience I will never forget. I went to the manager and complained do you think they cared... not... we had to leave the hotel and go to another one we went to a super 8 it was like walking into a mansion I am so discusted I will never go to another motel 6 again and ask everyone that reads this to do the same

sighned concernd for my health

To whom it may concern,

I work out of town alot and was told to stay at motel 6 in florance sc. When I arived there, I took a shower, went to eat dinner and came back to my room. I went to pull the covers back and something fell on the floor. It startle me, I had steped on this object. Come to find out it was a used neddle with blood still in the neddle. I called the front desk, I wanted the manger to see it for them self. I was told they would give me a free night stay. I called the police and took them 2 hrs. To arive there. I wanted to get the neddle checked out for hiv. I was told all they could do was to despose it. Well here I sit 2 years later, no attorney in south carolina will take my case. I feel south carolina has a buddy buddy system in place. P. S. Whats wrong with the system...

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!

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.

Springfield Bart is an adversarial Accor crony, I believe, and he chimed up on [redacted].com. This is my response:

I gave Springfield Bart a facetious reply to his sincere rebuttal and I apologize for that. He gave me a list of nine [redacted]s that he went to some time and effort to compile which I didn't address and with ROR's permission, I would like to:

1. /URL removed/

A horrible experience LA Kathey had (not me) when she was attacked by a pit bull held by a man talking to the desk clerk in the motel and the outrageous response she got.

2. /URL removed/

I thought the long list of guests mauled by Accor's motels calls for a Class Action lawsuit to be initiated and I still do.

3. /URL removed/

Because Motel 6' Owner/Manager and his attorney retaliated with a frivolous counter suit, I was forced to hire an attorney I can't afford or forfeit $100,000 so I issued a donation plea to help me through this travel nightmare. My Social Security check will only stretch so far.

4. /URL removed/

My story. This unbelievable, but well-documented act of treachery by a maniacal motel manager is right up there with Hitchcock's Psycho. All it needs is an Anthony Perkins, a little sex and some violence. I hope to write a book and I hope they make a movie out of it.

5. /URL removed/

This is gall also beyond belief. Motel manager violates the RICO Act, for which he and his sleazy attorney should have been arrested and maybe will yet, then ask me to post bond promising not to tell the world about their egregious conduct. Actually, I can't blame them for not wanting their conduct advertised.

"Got a substandard room, complained, got put on Do Not Rent list. Complained about that, got sued for $100,000. Afraid to complain about that."
Right. There's no telling what this out-of-control manager/attorney pair is capable of.

My story to Accor North America, trying desperately to find a sane voice in the organization. I said, “Motel 6 Slammed on Do Not Rent list for requesting a discount for being assigned a substandard room Seaside Oregon..."

8. /URL removed/

My story also sent to Accor HQ in France for the same reason - looking for reason in an unreasonable situation.. I think they responded to Accor HQ N.A. who probably made their usual insipid effort to resolve the matter by sending out a form letter - I've received 1/2 a dozen all saying the same thing, signed by a different Guest Relations person. If anybody ever died and made me boss of Accor's Quality Control Division (if they even have one), I'd fire the whole bunch of " Guest Relations" persons and put people in there who knew something about Customer Service. What happened, and is happening, to my wife and me is outrageous beyond belief and I think the whole world should know about it.

I said, "I thought it was outrageous abuse of authority on Judson's part, spineless mismanagement on Accor's part and since Wolf & Judson are related, their response would be expected. And us? Our character is being defamed all over the place as Judson threatens to inform others in the hospitality industry of - whatever."
Right. Seems like a reasonable post on a Consumer Complaint site.

Bart, if you insist on Post-Bashing, I am willing to trade you Post for Post - you list mine one at a time and I will list those of other innocent travelers Motel 6 has treated horribly. I'll bet I out-post you 10 to one.

I do attest my posts were valid.

Motel 6 parent company Accor Hotels decided to replace the Gideon Bibles with "intimacy kits." For Accor, providing travelers with sexual paraphernalia is more important than the Bible.

If this is not O. K. with you, if you object to going to a motel with your kids and when their curiosity compels them to open a drawer and they find a sex kit in there instead of the usual Bible, sign a petition protesting this at American Family Assn - AFA.org.

Plenty! check any consumer complaint site dot com: [redacted], blagger, complaintsboard, complaints, complaintservice, complaint. tv, consumerbeef, corporatesnitch, departmentofcomplaints, furiocity, measuredup, myspace, my3cents, pissedconsumer, planetfeedback, tattletaleconsumerhotline, ventvent for example - there are others and let your voice be heard! copy this and stick on your fridge.

America's corporate history is peppered with david and goliath stories where an almighty corporation is taken on by a lone whistleblower maybe like you determined to expose unlawful actions or dangerous products.

Whether it's battling a monster motel industry like accor's motel 6, big tobacco, identifying cancer clusters in your community or getting a malfunctioning car seat taken off the market, if other people share your complaint, a class action lawsuit may offer the appropriate legal remedy. ehow legal

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.

Thanks, Dick and Sandy.

After Accor's Seaside, Oregon Motel 6, Owner/manager, Lee Judson, falsely inferred my wife and I are felons and/or tortfeasors, I researched the company and found there are literally 100's of complaints against it nationwide.

I wonder how one would go about getting a class action lawsuit started against them? Something ought to be done about the way they disrespect innocent travelers.

Donation plea: mr judson, manager of this seaside oregon motel 6, is suing my wife and me for $100, 000! He is suing me! How outrageous is that? He kicks us out for no reason, we complain, and he sues us - is the world going nuts or what? Anyway, my wife and I are disabled, retired, on a fixed income and attorney fees are driving us into bankruptcy; if you could see your way clear to help us, it would be very much appreciated. Send your donation to dick colbeth, p. O. Box 821201, vancouver, wa 98682. Thank you and god bless.

Up to speed: Seaside, Oregon, Motel 6 Manager, Lee Judson, inferred that my wife is a prostitute and I a drug dealer by - illegally, I believe - putting us on his nefarious Do Not Rent list without cause. So after 8 months of trying to get our good names cleared without success, I sued him in Small Claims Court for $5,000. He and his attorney, Stan Gish, bullied me and filed a frivolous counter suit for $100,000 taking it out of Small Claims Court and into Circuit Court, forcing me to hire an attorney to defend myself against against him!

O.K., Now Gish & my attorney are discussing dismissing the case and having both parties sign a stipulated injunction which would prevent either of you from posting anything (on consumer complaint sites like this one) regarding the other party. No money would trade hands. However, you would be required to deposit some money, probably a couple thousand, as security (in a place to be determined) to ensure that you do not breach the agreement. If after a year you have not breached the agreement, you would get the money back. If you breach of the agreement, the money would go to Judson.

Can you believe that?!?!?!? Beware!
