    I get a room here very often and the staff is always very nice and helpful. It’s near a lot of places to eat and 2 blocks from the train station.

    Unfortunately, I cannot find anything in this place that I like. From the very moment of check-in, the man at the front desk was utterly unfriendly, ill-mannered, and rude. The hotel room contains absolutely nothing that would allow you to make your morning coffee or tea. The towels are very old, the bed linens are old, the floor is dirty, and the walls near the sink are filthy—stained with streaks, dust, and splatters. The toilet paper holder is broken. Before choosing this hotel, I strongly advise you to read the reviews for this place on Google Maps. I do not recommend this hotel.

    The issue? The reservation was apparently for one person, even though I arrived with two. Instead of being understanding or trying to work with me, the front desk insisted on charging an additional fee in cash. There was no flexibility, no effort to help, and no clear communication beforehand that this would be enforced so strictly. When I contacted customer service, I was basically told that because I booked through a third-party, the hotel can charge whatever additional fees they want. That’s pretty disappointing and feels like a lack of transparency. Overall, the experience felt more like a money grab than customer service. Be very careful when booking here—make sure every single detail is exactly right, or you might end up paying more than expected.

    The Motel 6 is a fine accommodation but there are some things to be aware of when you book. First, there’s very little amenities, no shampoo, bar soap that can only be described as stale and no hairdryer. All of that is fine but the room floor was sticky and had chips on it. Also, there was no do not disturb sign so be prepared for housekeeping even if you didn’t want it. There is some parking which is nice if you have a car but if you are Ubering you have to leave the compound to get the Uber. They are two busy streets so you have to get in quick otherwise you’re going to get honked at. The neighborhood is a bit rough, a lot of unhoused folks including on the benches out front but never saw anyone in the compound. But we thought LACC is walkable from the Motel 6 and it really wasn’t. If you are a light sleeper be prepared for city noise to be a bit loud. That’s no fault of Motel 6 though. Overall, it’s what you see is what you get and inexpensive.

    The stay was unsafe. The motel was located in a dangerous part of town surrounded by frequent police presence and the Los Angeles opioid epidemic. Additionally, the volume at night was loud.

    I would say you get what you pay for but we paid $400 for a two night stay where we had to be moved to another room because the tv didn’t work. There was also a questionable red stain on the floor. Both nights we were woken up after midnight by yelling, loud footsteps from the upstairs rooms, you can hear doors slamming.

    I did not stay at this property, I simply paid for my son accommodation. I booked him into this property at least seven times over 2 to 3 week period. I have already given a review a week ago and although I know this is a form letter he is now in Austin Texas. Can you please quit sending these letters or emails? Thank you. I know he did think the front desk people were very helpful for him.

While the immediate vicinity of the hotel may not be the most desirable, its proximity to downtown Los Angeles makes it convenient for those traveling by car. Overall, I would rate my experience as an 8 out of 10.

    Room smelled of weed, counter under TV was dirty and sticky, and the bathroom was dirty. There were small pieces of dirt and trash throughout room. AC had moldy smell and was required to drowned out the noises from super thin walls. Refrigerator sounded like a lawn mower with no way to unplug it. Speaking of, fire alarm had battery disconnected and hanging from cieling. Bed spread was as thin as a sheet with 2 flat pillows. There were no other rooms avail to switch to as was at max capacity. For the money, i expected a bit more, especially since Motel 6 is trying to push a new image.

    I liked the deluxe room we stayed in, the motel never disappoints with that. Bed was comfortable, lighting was good, television was excellent. Staff was even friendly enough to help when we had a small issue with the tv (someone must have fiddled with it beforehand). We didn't receive a DND door hanger though, so staff came in to refresh our towels and trash whenever they did their rounds, which, I felt a little personally invaded because we had all our belongings just thrown about when we left for the day. But they were just doing their job. Cleanliness could be better because the bed linens had a bit of a stain and the plumbing was pretty bad. Sink was slow draining and had a little bit of trash come back up sometimes. We stayed in the room with a jacuzzi but upon filling it up the water came up murky with little hairs, fibers, and something floating around in the water? Twice. I drained it once when i noticed it and then it happened a second time when I filled up the tub. Jets weren't working in half the tub too so you only had one half to enjoy (if you didn't mind sitting in that murky water). I don't know if it's the water filtration or if they were just really bad with cleaning. There were curly, long black hairs still around the tub too prior to us getting in. Also I highly advise to put mats or something in the bath/shower area because it is slippery! The bathtub was slippery when you get in and the shower could be slippery if you weren't careful. Dangerous! Thank you

    When I approached management with an issue with the room, the person was completely unprofessional. Shouting, blaming, cursing, and all in-front of customers and my company. I felt unwanted and in danger, upon request for a refund he refused and became more aggressive. The original issue was cigarette burns on the mattress, which another room would suffice. But after this confrontation I wanted to leave the place as soon as possible. He refused me a phone number to call. The situation escalated even more until I could not take it anymore and left without a refund. Expedia told me they did what they could and offered to find me another place with a 45$ in points. A hotel is only as good as the staff and this was the worst.
