Worst hotel ever! Dont stay here! It’s dirty, everything is broken, and it even smells weird. I would never in my entire life stay here again! Please read reviews before reserving any rooms. Pics are deceiving. 

Run away! 

This is one of okay motel 6 cleaning needed in rooms specially in ro on many furniture is old looks needed remodeling.  Motel 6 has zero breakfast just coffee no tea. Vending machines are empty and air conditioner are noisy internet is slowest with ever experienced 

Okay 

Alt control delete skip use any option or find any another hotel in town. This property is wastage of hard earn money to spend. Rooms are tiny and looks old from inside. People are stayed n with pets and corridor is sticking all the time and feels complete unsafe for covid clean 

Skip skip

Property is old and rooms are too small for family. Unless you are tucker and staying alone skip this property and find some other hotels nearby . Lobby is very simple and internet is not that speedy and it took forever for me to figure out how to log in . 

Rooms are small

I stayed at this property for two nights during July 4th weekend.   I arrived Saturday at 3:40 p.m. and was told the room was not ready yet.  I've never had a room not ready that close to check in but given the Covid staffing situation and other reviews, I wasn't surprised.   They called me back at 4:30, apologizing and saying the room was ready.   No big deal.   This was by FAR the cheapest hotel in the area though I booked far in advance.   

The grounds were fairly clean, though the garbage REALLY needed emptying when I checked out.   The hallways were not bad and I didn't notice any odors.   There was a soft drink machine and ice machine on each floor.   The one on my floor needed a little cleaning but always had ice.   There was a noticeable smell in my room, that seemed to be from a vaping device or something used to cover up tobacco smoke but once I was in there for a few minutes, I couldn't sense it any longer and therefore it bothered me very little.

More of the bad:
    
-  Bathroom sink had small cracks, discoloration, and white patches from repairs.   
- The bed was OK but rather uncomfortable.   Mattress probably needed to be replaced.
- There was no fitted sheet so you woke up with the mattress exposed.   
- The phone was kind of dirty and the info placard, if nothing else, should have been replaced.
- My key card didn't work Sunday night and then after being replaced, again on Monday morning.
- The wall vent cover was very dirty.

The good....and there was more of it:

- All electrics worked.
- No bathroom issues, lots of hot water.
- Adequate cups, towels, etc.
- The floors, furnishings and bathroom were clean.
- I had the fan on the whole time but there no noise issues.
- Wifi was free and worked perfectly.
- Locations was fine, near stores and about two miles from Ruidoso Downs racetrack.
- I encountered four staff members, ALL of whom were very friendly.   

There were definitely reasons to complain but I imagine most people just LIKE to complain or expect too much.   For example, I found several reviews where people mentioned no shampoo.   Motel 6 has NEVER provided shampoo.   Also, they generally don't have amenities like a fridge and microwave....nor did the web site SAY they had such items.   I was inclined to give this place three dots but gave them four because for the price and service, they deserve a break.   

One more thing:  their management seems to respond to bad reviews with completely insincere, canned replies about how sorry they are, they'll make it better, yadda, yadda, without addressing the actual problems and THAT is really annoying.   Some of the complaints are minor fixes and they just to do a little more maintenance and upkeep.

Please Read This Review....The Place is NOT That Bad....

They told us that it was going to be ready at 4 but it was ready like 6, when we got there their was a buger in the shower and the towels were dirty I don’t recommend:) there also kinda sus no offense

Worst hotel ever

Which was a room with a comfortable bed, a bathroom, and a tv. Just what I needed after a day in which I drove 10 hours. The man and woman at the front desk seemed very friendly. I wish them the best!

For the price I got exactly what I asked for.

The receptionist gave us the wrong key 3 times. Another person had to come help her or else she would’ve given us the wrong key once again. The whole time she was helping us she was laughing and not focusing on what she was doing. Very bad service.

Worst Receptionist

We only spent one night but It was a good experience, the room, the sheets and the bathroom were clean... the receptionist was very kind, the only bad thing is that the rate was supposed to include continental breakfast but they had nothing, there was no coffee or bread or anything... everything else was fine


Clean and comfortable 

The couple who own/run this property are trying to do their best.  They are pleasant and friendly.  The motel is older and dated.   The pillows were low quality.   Would I stay again?  Yes   Would I recommend others stay there?  Probably not.  The Wi-Fi code did not work.  The room was not ready at 4 p.m.   The room did not have towels.   We were given towels when we asked.
