“Meh 😒.”
Motel 6 is just Motel 6, but this one was cleaner and cozier than I expected, so the basics were mostly okay. No roaches, and the smoking policy keeps rooms smelling neutral. I’m not a light sleeper, but if you are, you’ll notice a fairly busy train track right across the street that blows a horn when trains pass, even at 3 am. The staff were weird. My daughters and I came from the west coast to visit a seriously ill family member and I’m an early riser, especially since my clock is still on Pacific time. At 4–5 am my daughters were still sleeping, so instead of turning on lights I’d work in the car. They were chatty, which made it hard to concentrate, so I’d work there all day. One morning a staff member knocked on my window asking what I was doing there. I said “I’m [guest name] in [room number]” and showed him my key. He replied, “no, I mean what are you doing *here* here,” so I explained I was awake and working. The next day another staff member stopped us as I headed to the sick family member and demanded we go through mandatory room inspections! Who doesn’t travel with bags? I don’t know, but bags shouldn’t be on the floor, they’re supposed to be on the desk. We’re not allowed to have minimal service (towel changes) only; full service is required! Fair or not, I couldn’t cook anything (the induction plate was meant for a pot of meals to eat through the week instead of going to crowded restaurants because the family member is immunocompromised). He went on and on about nit‑picky stuff in a clean room and against some of the chillest low‑maintenance guests in the building (cops were there at least twice for other people). All of this huff‑puff… the supposedly mandatory room inspections never happened after this interaction. I left with the impression that not answering Mr. Nosey’s question in satisfactory detail got me targeted by Mr. Bossy for harassment. It’s a very sucky time for everyone in my circle right now. My hotel stay should be the least concern and definitely shouldn’t add to the stress. Being treated as a trespasser or something to be micro‑managed is very, very weird. The staff turned this stay from 4/5 stars to 2.
