I've stayed at several Motel 6 locations because they're one of the few chains that are dog-friendly without added charges. However, this particular experience was by far the worst I've had—and has me seriously reconsidering staying at any Motel 6 in the future.
From the moment I entered the room, I encountered multiple cleanliness issues: hair in the bathroom that wasn’t mine, a filthy microwave, and shockingly—a tampon left behind. It was clear the room had not been properly cleaned or inspected.
Beyond the lack of hygiene, the environment felt deeply unsafe. I witnessed police patrolling the property, heard loud altercations, and saw a woman with a black eye and a man being taken away. I understand you can't always control the behavior of guests, but this level of chaos and lack of security is unacceptable.
Motel 6 has been a go-to because of its pet-friendly policy, but after this stay—and others recently that have also missed the mark—I’m not sure I’ll be returning to any of their locations.
