Thank you Adriana for taking the time to share your feedback. We're so sorry for any inconvenience. Our property is a newer Motel 6 and is undergoing maintenance in removing the shampoo/conditioner filters from the showers as it is not apart of Motel 6 franchise guidelines, however, there are amenities available for all guests per request available at the front office. Also, our property does have an ice machine on-site. Front desk is available 24/7 for any questions and guidance. Lastly, in regards of parking, our property does get busy during the weekends, additional parking is available, again with the assistance of front desk staff, they would be guide all guests if anyone is having trouble with parking. Thank you again and hope to see you again soon.

There was scratched etching and gang names on mirror, hair, food (oatmeal) and debris in bed on toilet and around floor. There was a cut in the quilt on the bed. They do not use a fitted sheet nor tuck the flat sheet being used as a fitted sheet. We heard hund shots during the night and yelling in the early hours as we were leaving. It worked as far as the place to lay my head down for 3 hours before getting back on the road but definitely wouldn't book here again by choice.

I needed to extend a stay for a tenant that was there for repairs in their unit, the individuals at the front desk stated that they couldn't extend the stay and that Motel 6 had a 3 day maximum stay policy and that they did me a courtesy for the 5 day stay. Nothing in Motel 6's policy does it state this 3 day maximum. In addition I have no idea what they are referring to "this courtesy" as I booked this through Expedia. I regularly make reservations for tenants who we have to temporarily relocate due to repairs in their units. But this property will no longer be an option for us.

Response from Trina -M6 Guest Services on Feb 22, 2024
We are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the property's policy. Please keep in mind that each Motel 6 is individually owned which means each property has their own set of policies. Our property has a 3-night stay max policy, however, this past weekend our property did extend and allowed a 5-night max stay due to the long weekend holiday that just passed and was only reflected for this past weekend. The tenant/ guest you booked for did share her appreciation towards our friendly staff and property and complimented on how wonderful her stay was here at Motel 6 South Gate and completely understood the property's policy. Thank you again for sharing your feedback, and hope this brings some clarity regarding the property's policy.

I did not like the customer service and by the hidden fee of 100 dollars at the time of check in. I'm a construction worker so I get off work really tired. So this was inconvenient I had already paid reservations. Never again

Response from Trina -M6 Guest Services on Dec 25, 2023
We are sorry you were not pleased with your experience. Our staff works hard to provide excellent customer service so I will be looking further into this matter. As for the deposit, it is mandatory for all guests for room incidentals and it is returned immediately upon check out. The deposit policy is not a hidden fee as it is stated on our hotel's website, as well as on "Important Hotel Information/ Policies" located right above confirming your reservation on expedia. Hope that you will give us another chance in the future.

Thank you Edgar for sharing your feedback. We recently turned this property into a Motel 6. Our property is still undergoing construction and we are in the process of removing the shampoo/ body wash dispensers from each of the rooms as they are not a part of the brand's requirements as it was for our previous brand. Just a helpful reminder, in the future, extra amenities is available upon request, just simply ask the front desk employee and they will be able to assist you.

Around the area, you'll find a strip mall with several restaurants so traffic can be challenging at times. Dining is a mix of fast-food and sit-down restaurants all within a few minutes walking. I took a walk down the street to grab dinner. The sidewalks were laden with trash (couch, cups, boxes, etc) that people left on the curb. There was a period of time over a 2 hour period where I thought I heard what sounded like gun shots. Thankfully my car had no bullet holes in it so I may be wrong on this one. It was the definite sounds that had me concerned. pros: - a/c - refridgerator in room; however, the only microwave was in the office which was not accessible at night - daily housekeeping - tv had decent amount of channels & variety (sports, classics, talk, nature, kids, science, etc) - ice machine close by with ice bucket in room - checkout was speedy cuz they had my card on file but i had to ask for a copy of the final bill - housekeeping was very respectful of the items left in room. They were in same place when i returned - adequate parking cons: - a couple of the towels had dark stains on them - on my 2nd night, was not furnished a bath mat - a soap/shampoo dispenser was in shower but was empty & had evidently not been filled in some time - semi trucks can be heard driving in the area 24/7 - when i pulled back the bed spread, found a large hair on the blanket - one of the night stands had its drawers that would not stay shut - dark floors not always swept
