Motel 6

This place is disgusting, roaches, it’s dirty, the mattress is disgusting. The beds are horrible. Rust in the tub. This is the worst I’ve ever been in. Never again. I turned on the heat last night and it still doesn’t blow out warm at all.

Great hotel for button willow. Stayed here for 2weeks. Read the reviews No roaches. The lady lied not one Roach great beds. My only complain is tv cable not working but they are fixing it. Very clean rooms. Great staff.

This Motel 6 has nice staff, hot water, great water pressure, clean rooms, and allows pets to stay for free.
If you want a place to stop off highway 5 to catch some rest before continuing your journey, you’ll find an affordable rate and a decent room.
But they’ll charge you for WiFi — wa-​wa.

Unilocal Challenge 2015 ²¹⁷⁄₃₆₅
Off the dark 5 highway
Full moon in the air
One smell of manure
And you know you are there
Okay, arrived shortly after midnight. I think it was better that way. It is completely dark, so I couldn’t see everything around me. Well actually, there is nothing here, exept for a handful of motels and fast food places and a bunch of empty land.
Huge parking lot. Perfect if your towing your car and are worried about parking. This place had plenty.
Sad, but true, there was a fly that somehow made its way into our room. He spent the night with us. I think it is just the town, it is full of flies. Our friend we stayed with said he came in when he was trying to air out the room from the mildewy stench. I never smelt it. But, like clockwork we all started sniffling at 1:00am. I blame it on the air.
The beds, 2 queens, in a very tiny room. They were not that uncomfortable. I fell asleep quick. The pillows are all new and fluffy. The blankets are thin though. You may want to bring your own. The AC sure does blast though. For the price, its A okay.
Bathrooms are nothing fancy. No special toiletries, no hair dryer. Nada. Bring your own. Water pressure was okay. Shower was nice and hot the way I like it. Towels are very thin. The Unilocal towels are 10 times better.
If your just in town for the night and only need a cheap bed and shower, with zero frills or thrills for a few hours before hitting the race track this place is good. If your staying a while, looking for a resort then keep on driving. The claustrophobic, boring room is not for you.
Cool little ice machine and vending machines on site. Filled my thermos up with ice to keep my water cold. Very cool.
Honestly, this place is just fine. And it is Pet Friendly. Zero charge for your traveling pooch.

COCKROACHES EVERYWHERE!!! We saw SO many bugs in our room. Earwigs, crickets, etc, but the icing on the cake was the 3 cockroaches we found scurrying in our room, one of which was dead inside the bed sheets. We were only in there for 10 minutes before I decided we’re leaving! On the way to the front desk, I saw 8 more cockroaches hanging out outside.
According to the front desk ladies, they have exterminators come each month but obviously that’s not good enough!
Please do yourself a favor and don’t stay here! Cockroaches are tricky. If you see one, there’s hundreds! Even though you may not see them, they’re there! I’m planning on calling the health department

Hmm… I would say if the price is cheap then it would be ok. It’s not a sh€t hole but don’t expect a lot.

WORST on sight manager you will ever come in contact with. Her name is ESTER and she is the most unprofessional person at a motel I’ve ever come in contact with, dress’s inappropriate, flirts with any male figure she come across… the list goes on and on. I will stay at the other motel 6 across the street for a few $ more.

I had the worst customer service I have ever experienced here. I had booked 10 rooms for 4 nights because we would be at the local race track. I called the day before check in to explain that we wanted to pay for all 4 nights and come and go as we all please, we did not know when we would be able to reach our rooms to check in. But I wanted to pre pay to be able show up whenever needed. After being hung up on 4 times, put on hold for 40 mins and to then have a manager not available I gave up and decided to just show up when I saw they already charged us for all rooms. When we got there they said we had to repay for all the rooms because we did not check in on time, telling me I should have called ahead… I had to spend an hour on the phone with a corporate office at 3:30 in the morning because a manager wasn’t on staff to explain we had already paid for these rooms. In the end we got a refund for all nights and went over to the Super 8.
Long story long. GO TO SUPER 8!

You get what you pay for… not bad stayed one night. beds are not the best. very loud outside due to the freeway right next to it.

It’s no bad for what it is…
The middle of no where and having a place to sleep/​shower is cool for the night.
I come here when I race.
Could use some upgrades, But idk if its worth it to them.

Stayed here for a night to wait out post-​Thanksgiving LA-​SF traffic. $ 38 and change after taxes/​fees/​whatever for a single-​bed room for one adult for one night.
No issues with noise from any source, but I always wear earplugs. Room was clean. The mattress was hard as heck, bring a pad or extra blankets for cushioning if you aren’t a back sleeper. Staff was courteous. Shower worked. Ice machine, vending machines, and laundry machines by the front desk. Adjacent fast food.
It’s a Motel 6, don’t expect the world for your $ 38 and you’ll be happy.

Called corporate customer service as well as the property management. The property offered a full refund of which only about a third ended up being credited to my card. Go figure?
When Corporate got word of this, they sent me a guest certificate for one nights stay at any Motel Six property valid for one year from the date of issuance. Sheesh! That means I’d better hurry up and use it before April 03, 2015.
Since its non-​transferrable, I can’t even give it away! Perhaps I’ll take a day trip and find the BEST 6 on Unilocal for a one night romp after getting shit faced at some hole in the wall nowhere dive bar?

I find that this location is well managed and maintained. The manager is nice, and the employees are happy. Yeah it’s a Motel 6 so it’s basic (you get what you pay for). However this Motel 6 is one of the friendliest I’ve been to.

I was quite impressed. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The bathroom was a bit old, but all worked well enough. For the price, I thought it was a good place to stay.
Note that this is for the Motel 6 North. There is another Motel 6, which is a franchise unit, on the same street.

For what it was it was ok. It served it’s purpose for a shower and a bed during a long road trip. Cheap rate and rooms were just very basic for what you paid and I was ok with that.

Wow, Motel 6. Just wow. All your locations are just… just terrible. I don’t really know if all the Motel 6s need to be THIS shitty, just because the room charge is $ 33.99. Maybe I just don’t know how to run a motel line, man… I almost never even want to stay in one of these again even if it is the cheapest.
The beds always hurt my back because they’re rock hard. The fixtures and television are always from 1990. I don’t even know. It’s a like/​hate relationship.
STOP BEING SO CRAPPY! Don’t leave the light on for me! It’s hideous!

Would you refuse a 49 cent Big Mac today? Or even a 99 cent Big Mac? Not me. I would order two.
Well, there are 2 Motel 6s right across the street from each other in Buttonwillow, CA, about 40 minutes north of the Grapevine where it appears that all they have at that exit are chain fast food outlets, chain motels, and gas stations. I think this less expensive one was designed to be a Motel 6, while the other one might have been an acquisition and conversion. I’m not sure.
However, along I-​5, this is a strategic thing to do if driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco. By chipping off the first 2.5 hours of the journey during the late evening and staying a little further into the Central Valley, it then becomes 4.5 hours to San Francisco because of the 70 mph speed limit along I-​5 and if there are no traffic hassles on Bay Area freeways. It worked like a charm.
As I drove off the ramp, I approached this place and it looked lonely … at 11:45 pm. Tom Bodett did leave the light on for me, and even kept the sign illuminated, which was indicating $ 29.99. I was hesitant. I figured I would sleep lightly and be vigilant of anything and everything.
I walked in and the lady at check-​in was very nice, efficient, and professional. I’ve had people at motels be surly and practically throw the keys at me while wiping sleep from their eyes. The following morning, the manager was on hand at check-​out and was also very nice.
The room was standard Motel 6. Everything is minimalistic, to say the least, and everything worked. It was fairly clean, too, and I took a nice shower in the morning to prep up for the adventure of aiming for the Bay Area. No complaints.
For its combination of price /​value /​service /​convenience, I give it 4 stars.

Larger rooms and a few more extras than the typical motel 6 with a small fridge and microwave. Also has a small pool and hot tub, rooms larger than usual and clean.
Wifi: doesn’t work, many timeouts.

I know it is a Motel 6, you get what you paid for!!! ($ 30)
Cons– AC did not work
cooler outside then in room!
Sooooo humid in room it’s gross!
I rather be outside then in room!
No remote for tv
Pros–
Room was not bad!!!
No bad smell

Come on people, this is a Motel 6, NOT the Hyatt or Ritz Carlton!
I’m giving it 3.5 stars… because it’s what a Motel 6 is supposed to be, a decent room at a reasonable price. There are TWO in town and ONLY a block apart from each other. This is the *clears throat* cheaper of the two.
** The room was basic and clean. The bed was comfy and NOT a worn out saggy mess.
** When we arrived just before 11 PM, the A/​C was on and even though it was still 80 outside, the room was nice and cool. I REALLY appreciated that! (There have been a handful of times I’d check into other motels and the room was as hot or hotter then outside UGH!)
** It’s located next to the highway so it’s not exactly quiet, BUT no problems sleeping.
= = = = = = = =
On the negative side, only a few small things.
1. The bathroom fan was so caked with dirt that it wouldn’t turn, only buzz (so I unplugged it).
2. The bathroom door was warped and wouldn’t close enough to latch. I suppose you could push it really hard to get it to latch, but then you’d really have to fight with it to get it open again.
3. The latch on the room door needed to be lubed or adjusted or something because to close the door you really had to SLAM it.
= = = = = = = = =
Overall it was pretty much what I expect from a Motel 6 (except for the 3 annoyances noted). Hey, all I need is a cheap room with a decent bed and a shower… and I got exactly that.
