Motel 6

Super nice staff and the place was clean. No bed bugs or mysterious stains on the sheets. For $ 50 a night you seriously cant beat it, especially since they don’t charge extra for dogs. The guy at the front desk was a total sweetheart too! I would stay again for sure.

Good for its price. #1, I like Motel 6, because it’s a nation wide Motel chain. Seems you can find it anywhere you travel within the US. #2, They charge nothing for kids, I like it! Save me money and time researching which hotel which room allow how many kids and then the changes. #3, I reserved from
, the website confirm the total charge is $ 94.59 but including tax, but when I check in, they charge me $ 97.76; I asked them the price is different from what I booked on their website, they simply said it’s the website’s fault. The website didn’t include the city tax. I gave four star, because their customer service and facility are not perfect. But am fine with it coz the price. They also have an iOS app, seems cool and handy.

I want to begin by saying, the service as far as customer service and dealing with the staff went well. Every person I came across (working at this particular Motel 6) was incredibly friendly, and helpful. (Man that greeted us the first day. He suggested a room in the back of the building because of the construction on the main road. I thought that was thoughtful and nice) and a lady who wore braids and glasses who was also exceptionally friendly that was working at the friend desk. For them two, ⁵⁄₅.
Now I understand you get what you pay for as far as Motel 6 goes, it’s probably one of the cheapest motels you can find in Tahoe. This place could’ve warned better ratings from me if they put some serious TLC into the up keep cleaning wise.
Theres a lot of unsanitary things endured at our stay, too many so I’ll just list off:
–right off the bat, a hard splatter stain on my bed
–dirty rim around the inside of the toilet
–seriously, I kid you not. There was a live worm squirming on our floor!
–a dog chew toy under my bed
–when we moved the night stand to find an outlet, there was people’s trash behind it
–a brownish stain on my pillow
–I paid $ 6 for wifi and it only lasted one day, so you pay $ 6 per day
–the mini fridge in our room froze the fuck out of our food, to the point where it wasn’t edible until several hours of defrosting
–vending machine eats your money with no snacks in return
So with that being said, this place just needs some serious cleaning products and TLC. If you do in fact decide to stay here, maybe bring some Clorox wipes and your own pillow.

The room was extremely small. Our «closet» or rack to hang clothes was directly above our mini fridge and microwave. How do you hang clothes with something below it?
The bed had some very tacky colorful «Motel 6» branded sheets. The actual sheets had strands of hair in both beds. Our bed was pressed up against the AC. We are in Tahoe, so we had the heater on auto so it wouldn’t get cold in the room. The whole night, the air was blowing directly onto my body. How is the «heat» blowing cold air?
This was the cheapest place in the area at $ 89 a night, compared to others at $ 200-​$ 400 a night. Thank god we only stayed 1 night!

Nothing special here. You get what you pay for. Cheap room with the basics. Friendly staff.

This is the best experience ive recieved at any motel 6.
The staff is totally professional and very caring. We had an emergency
With my girlfriend grandmother and they made sure we were ok. Plus
The motel was very clean and location was perfect. Thank you

We went to South Lake Tahoe for a quick trip just one night. I wasnt sure what to expect considering this was one of the cheapest hotels in the area. However we were very impressed with the price and how clean it was! We will most likely be staying here again. We also checked out other cheaper hotels and they were not as clean as this Motel 6. There is also a nice trail right behind it to walk your dog.

It’s Motel 6, so I wasn’t expecting anything anything extravagant. It was pretty clean though for the most part. I am a deep cleaner so I noticed a lot of little things other people probably wouldn’t notice.
I inspected the towels and linens! Lol, I have to do this! I do it at 5 star places too, but thankfully everything smelled clean and looked cleaned.
The water pressure in the shower is incredibly hard. It really actually hurt my skin. All they have is ONE bar of soap!?? Ok, remember this is a Motel 6.
For $ 53, it was ok. It’s a place to sleep and I did sleep well.

Standard Mo 6 that doesn’t have the upgraded rooms or free WiFi, but seems to be kept up pretty well. About 18 or so micro-​fridge rooms for an extra $ 3 fee. Room I got had a mild odor of Dorg baked in to the carpet but pet owners likely won’t even notice that. Otherwise, linens and towels were very clean, they seem way more on top of their housekeeping game than the Reno Mo 6s are these days.
To update some previous reviews, they seem to have done away with the boiler system and now have the standard window-​mounted heat-​AC units. At least my room did. TV selection also slightly different from most Mo 6s — they don’t have HBO 2 but they do have AMC and a couple of other unusual channels. Also nice big tubs with surprisingly high water pressure — way better than the «space capsule shower» Mo 6 locations with the weak flow!
Grocery Outlet right across the street but it’s about a ¼ mile hike down and back to a safe crossing at a traffic light if you wanna go on foot.

reserved two rooms only one was ready at check in time had to wait approx. 2 hours for the other room.
After checking in and settling down for the night friends in one room called said they had hair in the sheets that did not belong to them. So they ended up stripping the sheets off bed and sleeping on towels and a spare blanket I had in my car. I told them to call room service but everyone was tired and just wanted to go to Bed.
When we checked out I informed the front desk the woman told me she was very sorry and would let the maids know. She also said we should have called and they would have come. Explained it was late and the fact we had to wait for rooms anyway this was just not expectable.

$ 120 for one night in South Lake Tahoe. Our tv was 20+ years old, mold in the shower and you can hear the cars from our hotel room. We weren’t even right on the street. You have to pay for wifi, the towels are so small they only fit a 5 year old, they don’t provide shampoo/​conditioner or a hair dryer. They only have 1 pillow and the blankets were so thin. It’s been 95 for the last 5 months where I am from and I was freezing all night.
I found a room with The Hardrock for $ 59! We checked out and went there instead.

I did not stay here and had to make a change to reservation last minute. The gentleman on the phone was very nice not only in taking my reservation but make change last minute. He could have socked me with 1-​night fee but he was understanding and cool about it.
The reason I made reservation here was for dog friendly and no charge for my pups.

Bed sheets were not clean, bathroom was not clean, the room was too small, very bad attitude by the staff, and the place did not look safe

Decent quality for the price, when every hotel in town was sold out we came here and still found a place to stay, clean, plenny parking lot, nice customer service!!!

We stayed 3 days 2 nights.
Our room was a little small but just right.
We woke up Saturday morning to snow!
We got dressed and spent the day in snow, riding heavenly gondolas and going hiking at Nevada beach.
Came back to the hotel and warmed up quick.
The heater was awesome. It works very quick.
My fiancé was bitten by a spider in his sleep. Twice.
He’s fine now. No biggy.
Staff was very friendly and even made coffee extra early for me :)
Fast check in and super fast check out. We were even able to check in before 11am no problem. Thank you motel 6!
Most definitely coming back!

For the most part, typical motel 6.
I like it because it is close enough to the casinos, but far away enough that you avoid a lot of congestion away from the casinos when wanting to leave or enter a parking lot. Affordable, and the past few times I have gone, the front desk staff seems nice enough.
An example of a well-​run Motel 6

I know not to expect too much from a motel 6, but the room was nasty, had stains on the carpet, no towel, smelled a little funky.
I almost gave them an extra star just because they had night check-​in, but quickly changed my mind because at the time when I called to make the reservation, the gentleman on the phone told me that because we were going to have such a late check-​in (4 am) that all I would have to do is ask for a late check-​out. I finally got up to Tahoe at 4 in the morning, asked to have a late check-​out time, and was denied because that has to be approved by a manager, and because a manager wont be in until the day-​light, I would have to come back in the morning for approval. ended up having to check out at noon. The room ended up costing me $ 120 for a sub-​par room that I could only use for 8 hours.

I’ve stayed here on a few different occasions. A pretty mainstream Motel 6, and be advised that it’s one of the boiler/​5 pipe setups for central heating and a/​c, which means that you can usually either get one or the other, but not both — something to consider in the off seasons where it might be hard to control the temperature of your room. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars was due to the pricing — a bit high, even for Tahoe, and the fact that they didn’t offer any major discounts for weekly stays.

A cheap place to shower and sleep that allows pets for free. They even gave my pooch a little baggie of treats. The walking path behind the parking lot was lovely. Would have liked to explore it more but the snow was deep and it was 7 degrees out, my little pup was pulling me back to the room. Minus a star for the wifi, for 3 bucks I expect it to actually work. Signal kept dropping. Either fix it or make it free. Other than that, if you are looking for no frills and cheap, this is your place.

Motel 6 is not known for luxury, so I wasn’t expecting much on my recent $ 80 stay. Still, there were a couple of things that were really disappointing! I needed to stay at a hotel over a 2 day improptu road trip, where I would absolutely need a) a shower and b) internet service.
1. No shampoo/​conditioner/​lotion bottles. Hey, I know it’s a «steal» to stay at a Motel 6, but with everything else that the motel is lacking, they could have at least stashed these.
2. Internet is $ 2.99 unlike nearly every other hotel that includes it at no cost. 3 bucks, fine, I’ll pay. Except you can’t pay at your computer when you access the Motel 6 sign in page like all other hotels would offer when a cost is involved. Instead you have to walk your disgruntled ass to the front desk, pay in return for a prepaid card number, then go back up to your room and input that card number online to gain access. What.A.Joke.
I did get a kick out of the bed covers though… a city scene with Motel 6 hotels printed across it.
