It was dark and rainy so we needed to stop. The Hampton Inn was full so we decided to stay here. You check in in the front then they tell you to go around back to enter. Parking lot full of trash, overflowing dumpsters and back door doesn't shut. People smoking outside door. Hall is trashy. Room is DIRTY. Hair in corners, bathroom obviously not cleaned. We tried to sleep but couldn't. We were concerned our car or tires and wheels might not be there in the morning. We left. Decided better to drive in the rain than stay here.

So filthy. Do not stay here.

On the good side, the price was cheap and the motel just off the highway--good for stopping after a long drive. 
On the bad, the room, a non-smoking room, smelled of smoke.  Found a cigarette butt in the window frame.  The sheets and blanket were stained, the walls stained, the mattresses saggy.

Friendly service but dirty, smelly room.

Very dirty room. Trash was left in trash cans. Blankets were stained. Sheets smelled as well as the room. Room was to be smoke free . The bathroom was dirty as well .Disappointed . Motel 6 are usually good. Never again on this one. Definitely wouldn’t recommend .

One star is being kind.

I was barely able to find the hotel due to the over grown weeds and poor conditions. The hotel says it is smoke free and the first thing you see are hundreds of cigarettes and cans full of used cigarettes by every door. Once I entered the building it was full of garbage in the hallways and smelled strongly of smoke. The hallway and entry were filthy. The most disturbing thing was people were obviously living long term in the hotel and had food and clothing in the hallway, decorations on doors, and welcome mats in front of their room doors. 

My hotel room was in disarray with old broken furniture randomly placed in the room. The bath mat was stained with what looked like blood. The window to the room was dirty and the glass was broken. No blankets on the beds only a sheet and a cover as thin as the sheets. The hotel was noisy and full of random people. No locks on the outside building doors to prevent non guests from entering. 

I have never in my life stayed at a more dirty and bizarre hotel. I actually felt unsafe. If it had not been late and the fact that no other hotel was close I would have left. Unfortunately I had to stay because I had work early the following morning.

Dirty and unsafe

This was the filthiest place I have stayed in 40 years of traveling, including motels, hotels, and quite a few hostels, even. Pillows, sheets, and towels all stained with nasty looking ? ( see photo of pillow). Room smelled like smoking room with cheap cologne trying to cover the stench ( was supposed to be a non- smoking room). Coming in bathroom falling off wall, someone tried to fix with tape (see photo). Towel bar ripped off wall and laying on floor (photo). TV set on broken something resting on two end tables (photo). No night table on either side of bed, no clock. Entire room dirty and stank. Horrible. This place needs to be inspected by health officials- look out for potential if bedbugs. Save yourself and don’t stop, keep driving!

Save Yourself!

Best stop I have ever made 
Me and my wife we're broke down and the gentlemen at this motel made every bit of our stop so plesant. I would recommend that you stop in before choosing other hotels. Thanks guys

Booked months in advance. Upon check in was told the hot water heater broke the day before, but would be fixed the next day (I think they owed customers a call or email telling them of this, rather than waiting until people drove hours and wanted to check in)  Was offered a $10 discount and took it because they said they'd have hot water the next day. Having had a previous positive experience I was content with my decision...until I cleaned the room. I bring bleach and the dirt/hair I got off the floors/walls was gross. A previous guest's towel was on the back of the bathroom door.  Should've checked out, but since  I cleaned the room and there would be hot water the next day I decided again to stay. Early the next day we left for the Briggs Farm Blues Festival and when we got back to no hot water it was too late to book another hotel...they were fully booked and we were stuck! We never had hot water...spent 3 nights/4 days in a hotel that continued washing towels/linens in cold water and handing them out to guests. I asked to pay daily since they offered the $10 discount on the first night only. Glad I did. On my final check in day the guy told me that because i did it that way it left my room as unattended and i was fortunate it wasnt rented to another customer. Seriously! They had no hot water for 4 days at that point and were still selling rooms...how is that legal? 

No hot water for four days!

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Fresh towels and hardwood floors.  Authentic Mexican food in a trailer at the neighboring truck stop. Large parking lot and beautiful view of the mountains outside. Staff is cool on late checkout times. Easy access to freeway. 

Good place for a dirty adventurer(s)

For those that have read my reviews, you will recognize that I always look for the best in any situation. Well with that being said, Motel 6 are always dog friendly. That is the only thing good I can say about this particular Motel 6. Upon arrival, the toilet was still full from a previous guest or staff. The sheets were quite stained as well. Luckily we were only there to catch some sleep before continuing on with our travels.

Dog Friendly but not much more.

Half-used bar of soap in the shower, hair mopped into the floor in bathroom, toilet seat very questionable?? etc. The whole place made me uncomfortable as to what was actually clean. Glad this was only a single night.
