A Truly Disappointing Motel 6 Experience

My recent Motel 6 stay was a major letdown, especially for the price. The cost just didn't align with the room's poor quality. Upon entering, a persistent, old, musty smell hit us. It made the room feel anything but fresh. While the room was surprisingly large and initially seemed semi-clean, an ancient AC unit barely cooled the space, leaving us uncomfortably warm. The bed was comfortable, a small positive. However, the room didn't resemble the online pictures at all, which was incredibly frustrating. The online images showed a modern space, unlike the worn reality. The biggest issues were basic necessities. There was virtually no internet, and hot water was sporadic or completely absent. Trying to shower after a long day was a chilly, futile effort. Ultimately, these frustrations made us cut our vacation short. We just wanted a hot shower and a fresh environment. The spacious room and comfy bed offered brief comfort, but the musty smell, ineffective AC, misleading photos, and critical lack of internet and hot water made this Motel 6 stay one I wouldn't recommend. The price simply wasn't worth the compromises.

In the first room we had roaches. The light on the bathroom wouldn’t work. We had to keep flipping the light switch until it came on. Went and spoke with staff and they moved us to another room.
