“Good-Bye Motel 6”
We pre-booked our hotel, so when we arrived and noted the condition of the room and hotel in general, we really didn't have a choice as it was all prepaid. A lesson learned!! First of all, they had us in a smoking room, when we had requested a non-smoking room. After about 10 minutes the front desk staff found someone who was able to move us to a different room. The carpet was filthy, the bed was extremely uncomfortable, the door handle did not always work (would have been interesting in case of a fire!!), the towels were on their last leg, no kleenex, not even the standard shampoo and lotion freebies; if they ran out of coffee near the end of the 'free coffee' time, they were not in a big rush to make more, no decaf coffee (basically a standard now). We tried not to touch the blankets as they looked like they had not been washed for ages; they boasted a laundry room - it was filthy; the hallways and stairways were dirty - it looked like the vacuum had not seen the common areas for quite some time. We had decided to give Motel 6 another chance after a previous bad experience years ago, but we will not make that mistake again. Motel 6 is crossed off our list forever!!
