“As expected - Mustnt grumble”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

All very basic, I arrived late so had to use the 'secure' entrance on the side. It all felt a little sketchy/dodgy as you had to speak through glass and then saw signs about taking care of your property and keeping things safe, I'm guessing its not the best area in Philly!
The room was fine, spacious and located right around the back.
Location is great if you're arriving late and need a place to crash quick, which was my situation. Its also right by Denneys. My top tip to save a few quid/bucks on a cab, get the free shuttle bus to one of the hotels close by then walk over! :)

Room Tip: I'd ask for a room closest to the front.

“Avoid at all costs, it's a dump.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2011

Stopped here on my monthly trip south. I usually stay at a other motel 6 and figured this wasnt out of my way and it's the same chain so why not. I'll tell you why not. The area is a little seedy if you ask me. I thought I scored because of the Denny's there but that was a bust as well. Asked for a non-smoking room because I have bad asthma and the room smelt terrible. When I called the front desk to see if I could switch rooms (after the 6 minutes of ringing) the clerk seemed like I was bothering her so I left it. When I pulled the quilt back the sheets looked dirty and were wrinkled. I decided to sleep on top of the quilt just to be safe. When i got up in the morning to take my shower, it wasnt draining. Again i called the front and they assured me they would fix it. I waited 3 hours and no one came. Finally i just decided to clean up in the sink until i could find a better facilities. When I checked out the clerk barely cracked a smile to say have a good day. I wont ever stray from my regular motel6 across the bridge. It's worth it to make the extra 30 minute drive into jersey for what I experianced here!

“Yikes”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2011

people found this review helpful

We checked into this motel on a Saturday night. Realizing it was cheap, I did not expect much, but I got even less.

The girl working the desk was very friendly and that is where the positive ends.

Upon entering the room, it seemed "acceptable". However, once we were inside and took a look around, it was not.

There were 2 hand towels. No shower towels, no wash cloths. There was one tiny bar of hand soap and nothing else. I figured the motel would at least provide shower towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner. This could have possibly been an oversight on the housekeepers part, or perhaps the motel does not offer such standard things.

The bed linens appeard clean, but that did not do much for my sleep after noticing what appeard to be a roach crawling on the wall above the headboard. The room just felt dirty.

The motel is located directly on 95 so there was a lot of road noise. There is a Denny's right next door, along with another diner close by.

For the price of the room being $70.00, I would have expected at least a little better.

“Motel 6 standard”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2010

person found this review helpful

This Motel 6 is like nearly every other one I visited so far. It was not modern but clean. Towels are provided as well as soap. Me and my friend hat a room with two queen sized beds. With earplugs the near Interstate is not hearable. There is, like in other Motel 6 Motels, no breakfast, but that was okay for us.

I would stay there again.

“Nasty place, did not feel clean or safe”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2010
1
person found this review helpful

1-Junkie looking guy runs into foliage next to motel as we arrived; 2-One of us opens his room to find two strangers inside. The place sold him an occupied room. Not even an apology from the front desk. 3-Rooms smelled of urine, carpet was sticky. I made a point to not get in the sheets and slept on top. 4-Guests tried to sell us prescription drugs and asked us for ecstasy.

It's a shame the bordering hotels were all booked up, as I would have paid four times the price to get away from this nasty place.
