7.8/10 Good! (1,001 reviews)
I visited Rigby Idaho and stayed at this Motel 6 a year ago; it was well-maintained and I was impressed at its cleanliness, considering it IS a Motel 6. Today, on a return visit to Rigby, I was provided a room that smelled like a porta potty. The towels were stained and soiled with green funk and mystery stains. It took 20 minutes for the sink to drain after a simple hand washing. The toilet was filthy and looked like it had not been cleaned in months. One of the beds had a pubic hair on the pillowcase, & stains on the fitted sheet. There was dirt and debris along the baseboards and under the beds.
Because I had pre-paid and lacked the funds to get a more desirable room in Idaho Falls where things are done right, I asked Robbie the desk clerk if I could be moved to a room that had actually been cleaned.
I was offered my choice of two other rooms; however each just as disgusting as the first: stained and soiled towels, dirty shower floors, dried urine on the base of the toilets, and dirt under the beds and along the baseboards. I chose the least disgusting room and asked for cleaning supplies. I was provided with a broom and dustpan, a Clorox-based toilet cleaner, a toilet brush, and Clorox wipes. It took an hour, but I did the best I could with the supplies I was offered.
Eventually, I went to Idaho Falls, picked up some more cleaning supplies, my own set of bath towels and a set of sheets; then I made the best of my stay in Rigby at Motel 6.
