Motel 6

I have to say I was not impressed by this motel 6. I thought they were supposed to be updated, and it looks like it was at some point, but needs a LOT of help again. The staff was ok, but didn’t seem to follow through on things We walked into the room and there was a little carpeted like area that was drenched. We told the front desk clerk, who said she would let them know. I assumed she meant housekeeping. Well nothing happened, so we mentioned it to the cleaning person as we let to tour the capitol. He said he would look into ti. Not only did he not look into it, he didn’t even service our room. And on top of it, it started to stink. l Ok, I get this is Motel 6 and we stayed there because of our dogs, but really? I complained to the front desk again and she said it was wet because of a major storm the week before (at least it wasn’t from an overflown toilet) and that they only service rooms every other day. Well, that was the first of heard of this. I have stayed a many other properties and they usually come in everyday. Oh well, just be careful of this hotel. To make things worse, it wasn’t even cheap :(. Check out some of the other reviews I have posted on my travel blog at
. Happy Travels.

It is a Motel 6. I get that, but It should not look like a trailer park threw up on it. I am pretty sure that 75% of the hotels guests actually live there and someone tried to get into our room during the night. They then stumbled off and found their own. The room was dirty and the TV was from the 90’s. The room was 80 bucks plus tax. Please spend the extra money and stay somewhere else! Also, if you do decide to stay, DO NOT eat at the diner next door!

No one harbors high expectations for Motel 6. But this one earned a review for its employees’ exceptional dishonesty. And theft. Checked out and one hour out of Bismarck, my husband realized he’d left his iPod in the room. He called and spoke to Emily, who reassured him there was no need to turn around; she would forward it in the post. It never arrived, and when he called several times Emily had a lot of stories about different managers taking responsibility (none of them knew anything about it), the finale being «we don’t send with tracking.» This iPod was nearing 10 years, it had little value aside from a lot of files and documents that are important to us. Not sure what Emily gains by stealing it.

motel 6, IS what it is.
the staff was quite polite on the phone, as we were calling ahead to reserve a room. there is a fracking wild west town, not too far from here, so everything? is over priced. including this motel 6. And its not in the next town, where you will find rooms escalated to unaffordable. sad.
there is a pool. although its cold outside, and pool is outside.
there are washers and dryers.
motel 6 went into «office building» feel a while back, so I won’t complain about it. I will say? that I know this going in, and I try to ignore it. I would rather feel like I’m in a relaxing place, but hell, just gonna sleep here… ya know?
they take dogs, but they haven’t got much in carpet, so make sure your baby has a bed. they ALSO MAKE YOU PAY FOR INTERNET here. wow. and that password, only will work on one thing at a time. I suggest? you just add another five bucks to the rooms, and be done with this stupidity. really.
your even blocking my phone from picking up my maps, and more. thats pretty dang rude. hell, take up the cost of the room another ten dollars. and add a coffee maker.
either way, I’m glad your here. sorry to bitch, but I just think the internet charge is unfriendly. please change that policy.

The pro’s: it’s right off Highway 94, very convenient. The rooms look like they’ve recently been updated, we felt like we were walking into an Ikea showroom. That’s not a bad thing at all. Oh, and no carpet. We liked that. And there’s a Starbucks very nearby. Those are the only pro’s I can come up with.
The con’s: The Night Clerk (1÷9÷2012) & the General Manager are as dumb as rocks. They’re so dumb the computer said press any key to continue and they spent days looking for the «any» key! ba-​dum-​bump! Thank you, thank you very much.
Ok, ok, but really… how dumb are they? Night Clerk asks «do you have any children» We answer «no». Then at 10:30pm Night Clerk shows a woman the room next to us… at 1:30am the woman comes back with another woman, 3 loud obnoxious children, and 1 sick (coughing, crying) infant. Awesome. Guess who got no sleep? You know… there were a handful of cars at the motel that night. There’s no way in hell the clerk had to or should have put that group next to us. Apparently using his best judgement wasn’t an option. Night Clerk said if we didn’t like it we could get up, get dressed, pack our things up and move to a different room. Really? Thanks!
General Manager takes the cake. She issues a refund due to «noise» and Night Clerk stupidity and then emails my credit card number in it’s entirety with the expiration date to another employee in corporate accounting. Really Motel 6? That’s your policy? To EMAIL CREDIT CARD INFO?
I’ve filed complaints with the credit card’s Merchant Services as well as with the BBB & the Atty. General’s Office.
Have I heard a peep from Motel 6? Nope!
Do I see a lawyer in my very near future? Possibly. ;)

Absolutely disgusting, nearly terrifying meth lab. Sure they let my dog stay, she cleaned up after the last tenants. Gross.

OK, I know not to expect much from Motel 6… Before you judge, this was the ONLY place we could find a room at (we in fact booked the last room)…Granted, I HAVE stayed in Motel 6 before in California and they had been pretty decent. This one, not so much. NOT AT ALL. One of the worst places I’ve ever stayed at (not the worst. The worst was Quality Inn in Omaha). Yes it is cheap, but for what it offers (or fails to offer), it should have been $ 29.99, and it was much more than that. It was disgusting, so much we didn’t even want to walk barefoot on the carpet, or even take a shower. Needless to say, we made sure not to touch the covers. You know Motel 6, you don’t have to be fancy, but at least respect people who pay money to stay there rather than posing as a high end homeless shelter!

Because of Priceline, I rarely stay in places like Motel 6. However, for whatever reason, Bismarck isn’t a good Priceline city. Pulling into town late at night, not finding anything on Priceline, and just needing a bed for the night, I opted to spend the $ 41 for Motel 6.
I was pleasantly surprised. The room was clean and reasonably comfortable, and the wifi (extra $ 3 charge) worked well.
I can’t complain for the price, but unless Priceline stops being as awesome as it is, I’ll still stay away from Motel 6, always opting to pay an extra $ 15-​$ 20 for a more comfortable bed, access to fitness equipment, and a free breakfast,

Surprisingly quiet for being next to the interstate, very clean, CHEAP, close to restaurants and gas. They also allow dogs. I have no complaints.
