Motel 6

Looking at the other reviews (some from 3 – 4 years ago), I’m wondering if they’ve just recently allowed smoking in the motel? It wouldn’t be so bad if the hallways were on the outside, but as soon as you step out of the elevator into the interior corridor the smell hits you, and it REEKS. We had to open our window for several hours to help get rid of the smell, in our «non-​smoking» room. There are a whole 8 rooms on the 3^rd floor that are non-​smoking.
Price is decent, I don’t care about the tube TV, décor is very limited. Bed is pretty small, though it was advertised as a queen. No view to speak of.

Stopped here on our way from joshua tree to pinnacles. Booked online and front desk Charged us a «premium» for having 2 people in the room. Didn’t want to stay right by the high way, this is just far enough to be quiet and not too far for the extra driving from highway 5. Looks way better than a regular motel 6 from outside (more like a hotel). But inside rooms did need serious updates, tube TV, no shampoo, old everything. Water is very slippery but could be the area. We had to keep our window open for about 30 minutes to refresh the air, it smelled like harsh chemicals when we first arrived. I did leave 3 starts because everything aside, it was very quiet and we got a great night of sleep, which served its purpose.

Don’t judge this on basis of Motel 6. The location is the most important thing. Our alternatives were the miserable holes in Coalinga — do not go there. This place is in the middle of the middle of nowhere. Once you start driving across the state or have to take the highway for some reason after it gets dark, it’s too late to find a place to stay overnight. Drink a lot of coffee and try to make it to Fresno. This place is not terrible: no bugs, clean, basic service, cute Vietnamese girls at counter. But not great either: room smells of turpentine, slowest wifi in the world (internet speedtest never timed out on download speed), more expensive than the 47 a night advertised, very inconvenient to get to (bring a flashlight to find the streets at night). In sum it isn’t a matter of avoiding this particular motel, it’s a matter of avoiding the central valley.

Great simple basic clean inexpensive place to stay with my doggie! We play Tachi Casino Bingo, so this is close by. Yeah!

I’m in this hotel right now.
CONS:
The wifi blows– can’t stream Hulu or Netflix.
The location is weird. It’s on the other side of the freeway across the actual town of Lemoore.
The rooms are not that great. This bed is low to the ground and uncomfortable. The TV not a flat screen and oddly high. Overall the room feels small and the materials cheap.
PROS:
Decent bathroom with a nice mirror.
Price on the lower end of the spectrum.

I do not normally stay at Motel 6’s, but because of the Ag Show going on I had little choice. I came in with what I believed to be reasonable expectations for a Motel 6.
The check in process was fine with one exception. They charge your credit card on the spot and hand you a register receipt. I have no problem with it from a financial side. Most all hotels put a hold to cover the room and incidentals, so that is fine. My issue is it made it feel like I was paying by the hour at some sleazy motel. It also made me wonder about the type of clientele that normally stay there.
The room was of average size. That did not matter since as soon as I opened the door I could smell the foul odor coming from the room. It was overwhelming. My coworker in a room nearby found the same foul odor in his room. We went to the gas station next door and purchased a can of air freshener. We then emptied the can into the two rooms. That made the smell tolerable.
The beds are uncomfortable. I could feel each spring in the bed.
Disregard the previous reviews of this place. If they are correct and this is good for a Motel 6, all of them should be shut down immediately. Lesson learned, I will book rooms for the Ag Show far in advance going forward.

I was very impressed with this location. I have stayed at Motel 6 all over the country and this is the one that most seemed like a hotel. The hallways could have been any 3 star hotel I’ve stayed at in the past, they even had a microwave and fridge as well as a radio/​clock. The bathroom could have been in an upscale hotel too. Obviously the furniture was Motel 6, but I was very impressed by the place.

A good place to stay (compared to other Motel 6’s). I’ve stayed here twice in the past 4 years and it has been a convenient, comfortable, and clean place each time. However, it does have an unusual quirk. That is not so much the motel’s fault as the water supply of Lemoore. Not only will the water look slightly brown, but it has a tendency to build up deposit in the toilet if it hasn’t been used in a while. Nothing serious, but it is unusual if you aren’t expecting it.

Another 5 Star Motel 6. (Which is more like a Motel 6 Hotel.)
This five star rating is based on comparison to other Motel 6 locations, and not hotel/​motels in general. It obviously would not be fair to rate it against a Hilton or Marriott.
The place is clean and comfortable. IT had a slightly-​bigger than-​mini-​fridge inside, indoor corridors. (I know technically speaking this makes it a Hotel and not a Motel, but Motel 6 is a name, not a description of the establishment.) It did look like a Motel 6 from outside. It has a mini-​gym inside.
The only issue I have with this place is from the hallway you can hear tv, talking from inside the rooms. The walls are slightly better at keeping out noise than your standard cardboard Motel 6 walls. From the standpoint of looking at it as a fairly new building, I would have hoped that they would insulate a little bit better. You really should not expect much better from a Motel 6.
Free Wi-​Fi is available at this location and has a decent upload/​download speed.

I’m not sure what the story is with this gem. I’ve been to a few Motel 6s and this one is the best. My only complaint would be is the TV is too high, but why would you be watching it anyway?
Rooms are extremely clean. No complaints here.
I also am not sure about the definition of a motel is. To me a hotel has a curbside, and no way of accessing your room from the outside, and multiple floors. Check, check, and check.
This place is a hotel in disguise.
It seems to be more expensive then most Motel 6s so you’ll have to pay a bit extra.
