My family and I rented 4 rooms on a Friday night because it was the only hotel with rooms available.  Walking  into the lobby area I immediately noticed a cooking pot with food in it on one of the tables.  There were dirty dishes on another table, and the whole area was very dirty.  There was no one at the desk when we arrived - just a note with a phone number to call.  After checking in 4 or 5 men walked through the lobby all carrying 2 sixpacks of beer each headed to their rooms. The elevator smelled really really bad.  Upon entering my room I was greeted with a dirty laminate floor.  The AC was extremely loud.  The bathroom was in rough shape.  The faucet on the tub was loose and felt like it would fall off. The water was lukewarm.  The sink cabinet had a big hole in it.  There was no shampoo and only one tiny bar of soap.  Our other three rooms were in pretty much the same shape.  The whole place gave us the creeps and none of us felt safe.  But having no place else to go we locked all 3 locks on our doors and sucked it up.  However no one got any sleep and we left at dawn.  And these rooms were not cheap!  I was charged $163 each.  What a dump!  Do not stay here.

Filthy and super creepy

I have to let people know what they’ll encounter at this motel. 
We booked a room for two and a dog. (They put everyone with pets on the third floor.)
First off, we arrived after 3 pm and could not get into our reserved room on the third floor because it wasn’t cleaned yet. The staff attempted to put us in another room but the floor was wet & slippery and my dog fell down and became terrified. They put us in a third room with a dry floor but because the flooring looked the same, my dog was still terrified. It took two tries to get her in the room. 
The room was basic but did have a refrigerator, however, the room was somewhat dirty. The table had dried food on it, there is a ball of black hair in the corner of the room by the table & chairs, the wall is badly patched over my bed, their is a hole in the bathroom wall, the bathroom floor is dirty as well as the bathroom door, the tv remote doesn’t work properly, the lamp beside my bed is broken, all of the lamp shades are full of dust and to top it all off, the elevator stopped working. My dog, an older Labrador, is terrified of stairs. I had to go down stairs and look for the manager to tell her about the elevator. She said, “Oh, I’ll have to go down in the basement and reset the elevator.” That tells me that she knows it doesn’t work properly. Earlier, I had asked her for some spray cleaner so I could clean the table and she gave me a little dish liquid bottle filled with a diluted cleaner. Yes, I did tell her that the table was dirty. No offer of cleaning it for us. She did manage to get the elevator working again. Yes, we’re still here because it’s too late to find somewhere else. DO NOT BOOK A ROOM HERE!

Do Not Book A Room Here!

The good news (1) the bed was good (2) the sheets were clean (3) no bed bugs
The bad news (1) internet sucked - was sent to hotel next door (reeked of curry) with a phone number to access their internet (2) no tissue's - they will supply extra toilet paper (3) no shampoo - not coming from chain (4) paint flaking & drywall patches visible (5) cheap laminate floor buckling and seperating (6) tv remote held together with surgical tape (7) no breakfast - either hotel (8) missing nightstand and broken/damaged furniture

You get what you pay for

First off I'm wicked easy going and it took me a couple days thinking about if I was going to write a review or not. But I could not, not write a review and keep my conscience clean. First off the gentleman that checked me in was very very nice he just had a stroke last year but was so helpful and kind. Finally after three tries I was able to get into a room with my two little Pomeranians. It took almost 40 minutes for us to get into a room. The first room the bathroom fan was squeaking so loud that it scared the dogs so the bathroom was going to be unusable. Back downstairs I went from the third floor, he gave me another room and another key. This key didn't work back downstairs I went again. This time he decided to come up with me I felt bad but he was a very nice man in my father had a stroke a couple of years ago so we chatted it up. The key didn't work again so he put me in a third room that I finally was able to get in. By this time it was late and I was exhausted. So I really didn't get to look at the room. It took quite a while for the room to get heated as it was cold outside and their heater only pushes a little bit of air out at a time. This room was beyond filthy I don't think it had been cleaned since the last person stayed in it maybe a year ago. There was dog pee all on the bottom of the table base, dead bugs around the room and bathroom, stains on the trash can, stains on the door, then I went to take a shower and there was some goo on the handle, I ran the water from almost 15 minutes and it finally got Luke warm cool and I jumped in really quickly and out as I was shivering. At this point I started getting sick gagging and throwing up a bit. It might have been the air quality in the filth. When I checked out I showed the photos that I am posting here to the new desk clerk giving him a chance for a reimbursement. As I told him about the room showed in the pictures and told him that I left a nice tip in the room for the house cleaning person to give it a good scrub. All he did was ask what rooms I tried to get in and wrote it down on a running list of things to do. Then I went outside to put my little dogs in the car and realized I couldn't find my receipt even if I was given one I don't remember because of the chaos thinking I'll give him a second chance to reimburse my money. All he did was give me my receipt and said thanks. I may have skipped the bad review if they had reimbursed me showing that they really were sorry and would do better. But no.  This place should be shut down for a period of time given a thorough cleaning and then open back up to the public and try to get some type of reputation back, it really is a great location for people traveling down south from North.  But with all these bad reviews I'm sure that the patronage is very sparse. There is no breakfast, the rooms have no coffee, the remote controls are taped together with blue tape and they don't work. For the price that I paid and the hotel that I'm staying in tonight it is completely night and day for the exact same price. There's no excuse for such filth.

I feel bad about writing this review

I'm a nice person, so I'll say the one nice thing first. The front desk guy was very friendly. That being said, the first thing he said after welcoming me was, "you're only here for one night I'm sure." Because no one is going to Harrisburg for any sort of stay. It is a misery stop on a long drive. But I was traveling with my dog, and this hotel would take an animal. But it was not fit for one. First, there were so many cigarette butts and trash ALL OVER the place, but especially right outside the front entry. Someone had taken an order of french fries and just threw them on the ground. Right outside the front door. The first floor of this place REEKED of weed. I was on the third floor. It reeked of cigs. My room had no art at all on any of the walls. It had one mirror right behind the cheapest TV set you've ever seen in the living room. That was hung crooked. It did have a mini fridge. When I opened it, it was full of packages of rotting fruit that someone had left. Housekeeping isn't this place's strong suit. Reaffirmed by the fact I had no shampoo or conditioner in the room. There were 6 bars of soap though. No hair drier either. When I got there at 7 p.m. the parking lot was mostly empty. When I went out to walk the dog at 10 p.m. on Saturday night, the parking lot was packed with people partying at their cars. The Super 8 Hotel next door that I literally thought was abandoned when I was out at 7 p.m. was packed with cars and people hanging out. Is this what people do in Harrisburg on Saturday nights? I finally went to bed and then the next morning I considered whether or not to take a shower or just jet, I decided to take a shower and just wash my hair with a bar of soap and let it air dry. I got out of the shower and pulled a towel out of the towel holder which was halfway nailed into the wall above the toilet. When I did that two towels from completely different storage areas in the holder fell out right into the toilet. I said that pretty much sums up my experience here. I walked out with all of my stuff, and there was so much trash out in the parking lot and adjacent grounds it kind of blew my mind. Oh, the "breakfast" was one air pot of coffee. Because no one was up when I got up at 6:30, I actually got two cups. It was terrible too. Motel 6 is a budget hotel, and I get that. But this was an abomination that should even make them embarrassed. Needless to say, I won't ever go back, and I wish I had read the tripadvisor reviews before I stayed because I never would have. Don't make the same mistake I did. Oh yeah, there was no wifi here. They said they had four networks. None of them worked. I don't think you could even film a Borat movie here - too low rent.

Probably the worst ever

Between Hotel 6 and the Super 8 our group had about 20 rooms. I paid for five rooms for staffing and myself.  They charged one of my staff even though I paid for the room. Our room was covered in water from a broken refrigerator and the air conditioner ... After we reported it to the front desk their solution was putting a dozen industrial towels in our room so we could clean up the water ourselves.  Are double beds felt like miniature trampolines and my wife and I were forced to sleep separately. Front desk staff tried to accommodate us with all the problems but management refused their request. If you have a pillow and blanket in your vehicle you will probably be better off sleeping in the parking lot and showering at a local planet fitness.

Bates Hotel

Rooms were dirty and needs work! Bedding was not clean and had red ketchup looking stains on it and bathroom was really bad 
 We drove 11 1/2 hours, arrived at 2am to find no one at the front desk. Took us 15 minutes to figure out you had to walk next door to the other hotel and ring a bell and then they would come help you. The lady was rude and I got impatient as we had 3 children waiting for a bed. 
When we finally got our room we discovered it was not only nasty with dead bugs and nasty floors but the room had a horrible smell and needs a remodel. I went to ask to be moved to a different room and the young man insisted he had to see the room first, I was uncomfortable while he was in our room with my 3 children and myself (never had them say I have to see what the problem is before I give you a different room) the second room was a little cleaner but not much. 
It’s now 3:30am and we finally get settled to be woken up at 4 am to the screaming from the front desk area, we got 30 minutes of sleep. We packed and left in search on a cleaner, safer more family friendly hotel and thankfully was able to get on last minute for the weekend

DO NOT STAY

No hot water. Water damage on ceilings and floors. 

Front desk ppl knocking door to door to figure out a weed smell 
Place was a mess. Left 1 pebble of dog food on floor and in 5 min, Ant pile was massive. 

Absolutely disgusting and wish no one ever stays here

Absolutely awful

Arrived at 6pm with reservation (had stayed there in 2019) only to be told that they now only allowed small dogs & cats (30 lb limit, not 150 lb limit of Motel6 pet policy) After 9 hours driving (am senior citizen) this was a little bit of a shock.  Am disappointed that Motel6 does not enforce a universal policy, local ordinances permitting, and does not publish exceptions for the unwary.  BE ADVISED.

Not 'pet friendly' (30lb limit) - Do not follow Motel6 pet policy.

The room we were first assigned was filthy. The floor hadn't been cleaned and was covered in pet hair dirt and dried-liquid substances. The refrigerator had the previous occupant's dinner leftovers. We were moved to another room on the third floor which, while not as terrible, was still filthy. So much so that I went to the grocery store and bought a Swiffer with mop pads to clean it before I'd let my dogs into the room.

The staff was non-existent. A young man checked us in, but was working the counter for our motel, as well as the Super 8 motel next door. We saw one elderly cleaning person. That was it; two people in total. And no other guests. When I went to check us out, no one was present, but a sign instructed guests to go next door to the Super 8 for assistance. Seriously. 

To top it off, I get home and find two messages on my home answering machine telling me we would be charged an extra $150 (on top of the pet fee we had already paid and the deep cleaning I gave the room) because our dogs were barking. Supposedly, someone knocked on our door to tell us this. UNTRUE. Either my husband or I were always present in the room with our dogs. 

This place is not only a pig-sty, it's also a SCAM. I'm currently disputing the charges through my credit card.

STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS MOTEL AND THE ADJACENT SUPER 8!!!!!
