We did not have a good experience. Even though we had confirmed our room over the phone in advance, our reservation was canceled. After a lot of discussion and follow-up, they gave us a room that did not match our original request at all. The facilities were weak, and the management was unprofessional. Overall, it was a disappointing stay. We did not have a good experience. Even though we had confirmed our room over the phone in advance, our reservation was canceled.

The property was dirty, the mirror was dirty, the bedding had cigarette burns, it was wasn’t clean at all. & it also smelled like cigarettes. Honestly this was the first time we expierenced a Motel 6 to be super dirty & smelling of cigarettes. We requested a non cigarette room, but the smell was so strong. They definitely need to update these hotels and make sure they are cleaned for guess to walk in. The mirror was all dusty and with water marks, floor all dirty not even sweeped right. We didn’t sleep all that great. But at least it took us out of the rain for the night.

Not very clean , cockroaches coming out of the drain. Cheep an d noisy, I will not stay in another motel 6 ever

Dirty towels, dirty walls, double charged. Even though its proximity to my work was perfect I probably wouldn’t stay there again
- 3/5
It was convenient but I got double charged and it took a week and a half to get my money back. Towels were stained brownish with even browner spots. But like I said proximity to work was worth it and they have on site laundry room so it was worth it plus I had my own towels as well as cleaner
- 2/5
Do not book this place if you're going by the pictures. It is completely FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. You can't enter the main lobby (not sure why) and have to check in at the night window. My room was not cleaned when I arrived and had to wipe down everything with sanitizer becuase of the visible dirt. There was also a strange sticky substance on the phone that wouldn't come off. There were stains on the sheets, the mini fridge was broken, and the towels were stained as well. Even the tv remote was filthy and had to be wipped off. I would not recommend staying here if you don't have to.

I have stood there in the past, but this last time that I stood at this hotel was filthy. The blankets were all stained even the pillows. There was roaches on the floor coming from the AC and in the bathroom. I couldn’t believe how dirty the room was so I asked for another room and that room was even worse, but the blankets were not stained at least for the top blanket because I did not crawl underneath the other ones. But I did see a few roaches on the floor coming from the door. What does bad experience I will never be going back plus I believe they’re dealing drugs there because there was a few people standing outside of door watching the parking lot.

First of all the bedding had multiple stains. the frig was filthy had spillage on inside. Non smoking room smelled of an ash tray, the tubs over drainage opening was open it was missing the cap that covers it, and when you went to open the bathroom door it would hit the toilet. This motel is run down and lacking professional housekeepers.

I’ve stayed at many Motel 6’s, and I generally know what I’m signing up for. This is by far the nastiest Motel 6 I’ve stayed at. First red flag was when I checked in around 5pm in broad daylight and the lobby was locked with a sign directing you check in at the night window. The room was so gross, gross stains on the was adjacent to the bed, the tv on the wall hung at a crocked slant, stains on the pillowcases and sheets, several huge pieces of tile broken in the restroom. The mirror on the wall had a huge crack and the toilet had nasty stains in the bowl. I definitely would never recommend this location, nor will I ever come back.
- 2/5
My bedsheets were not changed, they were wrinkled and had hair in between them. They did not mop the floor nor did they clean the restroom right the refrigerator was nasty

Motel 6 in El Monte is the one My boyfriend and I stayed at. I enjoyed the fact that they are very high security and their rules are pretty strick. I felt very safe there.
- 2/5
During my stay at the hotel, I experienced some issues that affected the quality of my stay. Firstly, I noticed a strong odor of cigarette smoke in the room, which was quite unpleasant. Additionally, I observed that the room was not properly cleaned, as there was visible dirt remaining. Moreover, there was mold on the shower curtain, and unfortunately, I even encountered some cockroaches crawling on the wall.
- 2/5
Not staying there ever again!!

Staff is very friendly. Booked a non smoking room but it had a ash tray with ashes and room smelled like cigarettes. Bed sheets had holes in them from cigar burns. Rooms need to be deodorized.

Traveling thru the state of California in my box truck and need a quick rest/shower so I stopped here as it was close by, there was availablility snd AMPLE parking for my box truck. Parking lot for truckers is great! As most Motel 6 parking they always accommodate truckers. So that was not an issue. The problem was the room! It was disgusting. Smelled like cigarette, cigarette burns on the sheets/ comforter. The bathroom was gross. Honestly I don’t think the room was cleaned and if it was… wha a poor job. I slept for a couple of hours because I was dead tired but I couldn’t bring myself to take a shower. It was NASTY!!

This motel was really gross. It’s what you imagine a hotel that street level pimps and drug dealers would use to work and party at. Super dirty inside and outside, room smelled like cigarettes and like people were doing crack there right before we walked in. The bedding was torn and falling apart and the bathroom is a place I wouldn’t shower in. The guy who checked us in at the armored window was nice enough but it was just too gross. I would t stay here and I definitely wouldn’t bring kids here. We tried to stay because of location, free parking, and free pet stays but wasn’t worth it and immediately checked out and found another hotel.

It's a large property and a decent place to stay. They could go over the areas in the room better when it comes to cleanliness yet I've seen worse. No issues with noisy neighbors and plenty of parking. Would good back.

I rarely write reviews but I can’t help it on this one: absolutely disgusting room. Dirty floor, walls, and curtains. Bad Smell, terrible mattress, holes in curtains… towels felt like rags to mop the floor. I give it a zero and would go lower if I could. Shame on this place

The room was so filthy. The sheets , pillowcase, and pillow had red stains which obviously had not been washed prior to my stay. The grime and dirt was deplorable. Microwave had splattered food and built up grease and grime on touch areas. Below the bed and frame had lots of dust, grime, dirt hair, you name it. Nothing was clean . Covid CDC guidelines? None followed. I checked out early. God forbid there had been carbon monoxide or a fire because the smoke detector was not there. The base or mount was but not the actual detector which I believe is a reason to fine or close them down. Unsafe and unsanitary is a nice description. Do not stay here!

The room felt dark and not comfortable at all, the bed sheets had cigarette burn marks and when I pulled away the sheets we found roach eggs and hair particles. When we pulled the bed out to look behind the headboard we found M&Ms and trash behind it. We pulled off all the sheets and four some dead bedbugs on the corner of the bed. It was disgusting and horrific. The tv was small but it didn’t really matter to us but than I realized there was no controller to the tv. The room did not come with a mini-fridge as it was advertised. The A/C was old and discolored, looked like it hasn’t been cleaned. As we sat down to relax for a bit, we saw a roach crawl across the A/C and disappear into the unit. That was it. The worst Motel I have ever stayed and I’m an avid traveler but this place disgusted me and I could not stay there. Unfortunately, they were unable to room change me and did not stay the night at all. I would say pick another location, this one needs a lot of help. The only thing I forgot to do is take photos of the place and what I found.

The building looks old so, we were ready to not be impressed, but the room was dirty. Floor was sticky, bathroom was halfway clean and the towels even had stains (one looked like blood stains). That was the last time we stay at a Motel 6. We rather spend a little more and spend the night at a clean place.

A year ago, I used to consider this a reasonable place to stay but now it’s run down and the other guests are all over the place. It doesn’t seem safe. Also, the bed only had 2 small old pillows with very old looking pilllowcases. I won’t stay here again.
