“Awful”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2009

We expected Motel 6 to be basic but we were not prepared for the awfulness of this one.
The room appeared very dirty and the bed linen - if it had been changed - was full of holes and stained.
I feel sorry for the Motel 6s which try - we have stayed in some- but the brand is totally trashed by experiences such as this one. We will be avoiding all Motel 6s in future.

“You won't sleep a wink.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2007

I was tired of driving around phoenix and hotels in this area are not easily found. I should have noticed how close the interstate was. The doors are thin and cinder block walls couldn't block out the roaring all night traffic noise. That combined with car alarms, honking, noisy AC, cigarette drenched bed linens (non-smoking room) made for a horrendous sleepless night. Dirty, funky in a bad way, cops driving the parking lot all night--probably cause they needed to. Drive further out of town or stay right across the street at a cheap place I didn't see until daylight.

No wireless and I could not get my modem to work.

“Now i Know how weed smell like!”

Quite possibly the worst motel I've ever seen. Cinder-block walls, no telephone, no remote, burned carpet, sigrate burned furniture &c. Not only is the place cash-only, you also have to sign a waiver promising that you will not take illegal drugs. We stayed only for the novelty of sleeping in a crack-motel (makes for great stories). there were ants all over the Bed. there was lot of noise in the parking lot.
I think it is better to sleep in car then coming to this place. Avoid this motel (unless you want to tell some crazy stories about late-night police raids. seriously.)

“This is the worst Motel 6 I have ever stayed at!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2004

people found this review helpful

This nasty Motel 6 is in a high crime area and is run down. The check in staff was rude and unhelpful. Drug dealers and hookers everywhere on the streets. Bedding was dirty with stains and burn holes, was woke up several times in the night by people partying in the apartment complex next door, then woke up at 5am by the garbage truck. Gave up trying to sleep and Left.

My wife was stuck by a used needle left in the bedding of room 106. This is a high crime establishment and no one in their right mind should stay here.
