Me and my boyfriend stayed here for one night . It looked a Shady at first but for 70 bucks we thought we would try it . Results : The Shower was Hot 🔥 The Bed was Comfy The night was Super Quiet and The Man at the Front desk was Very Nice . So we had a Great stay I would stay here again and Recommend . Just goes to show can't Judge a book by its cover 😁

marion stay

Dirty wet towels left from the last person.  Mold/mildew on shower tiles.  Pool will not be open until 2024.  No alarm clock, refrigerator not cold.  Nobody at front desk, (waited 20 min, then let phone ring for 10 min, before anyone arrive).  Room not clean up daily (wet towels and trash not pick up).  Wet carpet in hallway.  Difficulty to use small cart for luggage through not sliding door.

It smelled like pot!!  You could have got high off the smell of the hallway. Everything in the room smelled like pot! Don’t stay here!  We couldn’t even find anyone at the front desk to check us in. Only good part was it was a bed and they let us bring our two dogs for free. 

Pot smelling hotel

We arrived at this hotel later in the evening on Friday, 4/7/23. The reviews that we read said that the second floor had been renovated so we were glad that we were given a room on the second floor. However, what we witnessed was not a renovation. We were traveling with our pets, so the first thing we did was put on our new litter box, add litter, and slide it under the sink in the bathroom. Plenty of room. A good 6-8 inches of headspace below the edge of the sink. I washed my hands and the coffee mug. I could hear water coming out underneath the sink. The water from the sink was going straight through the plumbing into our new disposable cat litter box and filling it - literally. As my husband went to go and get more supplies for the cats, I went to speak to the staff at the desk. He gave his name as Ajmain (sp?). He has a sign at his desk that says be back in five minutes. It’s there most of the time. So I waited. When he arrived at the desk told him the problem and he was disgruntled over the issue. He got keys and went in front of me up to our room to see what was happening. he wiggled around the plumbing and reattached a hose and told me everything was fine. He told me that we must have bumped it. We did not bump it and it should not have come off anyway even if we had.
I discussed the situation we were in and having to go out and purchase new supplies as what we brought was ruined. He was unconcerned and did not offer to compensate us in any way. He said to me, “Your fault, our fault, doesn’t matter,“ and then he left the room.
The remaining issues I will list below, and I have included photos as well.
-Filthy lampshades.
-What appeared to be dried pet urine or liquid of some sort next to the bed.
-The refrigerator was broken. Our food was warm in the morning and the freezer leaked water all over the floor as it did not work.
-The shelf over the coat rack was filthy with garbage left on top.
-When we went to use the bathroom door, we realized it did not lock as it was kicked out. There was no way to securely close the door. again, see photos.
-there were three flat pillows on the king bed when we arrived. One had a small stain on it. My husband asked for an extra pillow and was told there were none. He took him into a laundry room to look and see if there was a pillow. He found a single pillow in the room, put a pillow case on it, and gave it to me. When I got to the room, I saw that it was extremely stained and we could not use it. See photo.
-The Kleenex container was empty in the bathroom
-There was no shampoo or any other amenities in the room.
-This hotel does not do a breakfast. We knew that. They did offer free coffee from 6 AM to 9 AM. It was as pictured below. A room coffee maker that was empty the entire time my husband checked.
-Bathroom fan was out of order. See video.
-Air conditioner was filthy.

There was a sign on the wall in the entrance. That stated what you could expect for quality at this hotel. It did not even meet one of the expectations. The ownership of this hotel was not posted anywhere for us to find. We later found it on the Internet as The Blackstone Group. 
We paid $75 for one night. We expect to be compensated for this evening. We do not recommend this hotel. 

This Motel 6 should not be leaving the light on for ANYONE

Was super impressed, king room was very spacious and clean on arrival, the staff was also very friendly. Had 0 issues with my stay and would definitely stay at this motel again. 

Definitely much better than I expected for a cheap motel for a weekend getaway.

Pleasant Surprise

We've stayed here a few times thru the years, and it's always adequate. Room was very clean upon arrival. Staff was friendly and provided us with extra towels without any issues. Cons: location is about 3 miles from the freeway; rooms can only be accessed by internal hallway; king room only had a shower curtain as a partition between bathroom and rest of the room, which gave you little privacy. 

Adequate 

Needed pet-friendly motel.  This worked well. Clean room with laminate flooring. A bit dated but there was noticeable effort at maintenance included painted stairwells and hallways and fresh landscaping. Some of the guests were a bit noisy at 10 pm but it was pretty quiet at 10:30. We were tired and got a great night’s sleep. Stephen at front desk was friendly and conscientious.

Got a good nights sleep

This was the cleanest Motel 6 I've ever stayed in ! The floor was super clean and the bathroom was spotless .  Why can't they all be like this Motel 6 ? Super clean I loved it !  The guy at the front desk was very friendly .

Very Clean

Very clean,  quiet hotel. I overslept and they were very courteous in handling the situation,  thankfully. The king bed was very spacious and comfortable. A nice place to work,  relax, or get away for a little while.

Great Place

I stayed here back in January and had a great experience. I booked the place again this past weekend for my oldest daughter's graduation. The air conditioner in my room wouldn't turn off. All of the other buttons worked besides the off switch. I had to press a button on the plug in to turn it off. I only stayed for a night, so it wasn't a huge deal. The room was clean; direct tv was great. 

My parents booked the room next to me. They didn't have a remote to their television. They told the front desk attendant, and he made sure a remote was in their room by the time they got back. However, the remote wouldn't work. It wouldn't turn on or off their television, and the volume buttons didn't work. The only thing that did work was changing the channels. I had to use my remote to control their volume and to turn the tv on and off. 

When we checked out there was a sign at the desk that instructs people to leave the keys at the front desk or in the room. Too many things can happen, so I like to make sure somebody sees me leaving the keys at the front desk. Two people told me that nobody was going to come (I rang the bell) as they've been waiting since 8:30 am. We checked out at 10:30 am. 

Overall, I'm not sure if I'd stay here again but we'll see. My parents have stated never again.
