    Besides a few hair in my bathtub, it appeared relatively clean I always go to this location because the occasionally have a security guard there.

    A young gang member(according to him) knocked on my door trying to rob me one day and the staff did nothing. God bless Arizona and the second.

    I’m pretty sure the manager is having an affair with the cleaning lady as she called him from her cellphone to kick me out instead of going to the front desk and having the employee on duty talk to me about why my room wasn’t paid yet. Hey lady not your job. Stick to cleaning

    They will take your money and give you towels that have stains on them as if they came from a young boys room who just discovered himself.

    They would rather kick you on the streets than work with you for being late to pay even though you’ve been giving them $80 daily for 3 weeks straight. That’s 1,680 dollars for them to never clean my room or let me use a mop myself. That’s $1680 to be tossed outside in 100 degree heat. I could have rented a one bedroom apartment for less than that(there’s reasons I couldn’t). Motel 6 doesn’t care about their customers at all. They take your money and bang on your door to kick you out. The best part I had the money for the room 15 mins later. Now I only want to put them out of business.

    My room was located "On the street" not beside the street! When I opened the door of my room I could touch cars! I turned the air conditioner on during the night to prevent street noises, but the noise of air conditioner was worse! Overall, I couldn't sleep whole night!

    Location: Conveniently located right on Scottsdale Road, which made it easy to get around and ride to different spots. Area: The surrounding area is a bit older. Not rundown, but there were a few sketchy folks around at times — nothing that caused issues, just something to be aware of. Room: No frills, but honestly solid. Clean sheets, comfortable bed, and the shower and sink were clean, which is what matters most. Value: Great price if you just need a place to crash for the night. I wasn’t looking for luxury, just a clean spot to sleep, and it delivered.

    Staff was very polite and accommodating. AC kept the room cool. It was very obvious that this property was old and repair work was subpar, except nice wood floors. Bathroom light flickered and the shower squealed, but over all the property was adequate. Didn't feel like the best area but we had no issues and located near many attractions

    I had to walk across the parking lot and have office staff reprogram my room entry card each night of my stay in the same room as the entry card I was given initially wouldnt grant me access to my room the following nights. The entry card also would not unlock the gate to the swimming pool. No towels, tp, or anything else was replenihed by housekeeping on any of my 3 day stay. The room should have been cheaper for the cheap experience I purchased.

    The fact it was hot enough for the pool to be open. There was not much else. Rooms were clean and smelled good. Other than that there's not much to say. The fact that the rooms were reserved days in advance but not ready. Nor were they close together like requested. The first room we were given there was somebody sleeping in the room. Then we also had to wait over a hour for the 2nd room to be ready.

    While the staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the room had been cleaned, the property was in really rough shape. There was an old water leak in the ceiling just above the bed (2’ sq) that was poorly patched, the sheets and bed were reminiscent of 1973, the tops of the side table were lifted and warped, and the shower area showed mold that was covered by caulking. I had to stay near my health clinic during spring training in Scottsdale and hotels I usually stay at were booked or outrageously priced so my options were limited. Despite the nice staff I will never stay at this property again.

    Yes she replies, there were short staffed. But i saw 4 cleaning ladies doing rooms. So how could they be short staffed considering they had all day to clear and clean rooms. I asked if any other rooms were available and she replied i'd have to charge you extra...what? No, so i waited when i came back 25m later. I still had 2 wait anther 10m. The front desk girl was rude and unaccomdating to other guest about a late check out since she too had to wait 25m as well. After that was settled the evening was fine.

    Staff was not friendly at late check in, 10 pm. The floor in the room was very dirty. There were visible areas that were possibly mopped but it did not seem recent. The floor was only possibly mopped in the walk way. It was easy to see where the floor had not been cleaned in quite some time. We did not take off our shoes except to sleep. The furniture was visibly dirty on the lower portions. The bathroom floor was water logged and there was mold in the corner. On check out the staff seemed surprised that the floor was dirty. We have stayed in a lot of hotels and we understand about some issues, but the floor was nowhere clean enough for family to stay in.

    it was more like 2.5 stars (between average and poor). It's less than average, but it was just a place to sleep and shower for us. No shampoo or conditioner in the shower, bring your own. Also, people were smoking outside our door so often that our room smelled of smoke, they should make a smoking area near the pool in the parking lot. Uncomfortable beds too, but we did not expect much.

    I was thinking maybe it was just the nighttime lady that was rude but now it was the daytime lady as well. The nighttime lady acted like it was my fault and I should’ve known to tell them I had a vehicle so I could get a parking permit, it was not offered at all. I had to go down there and get it with a baby at 1 AM or I could’ve risk being towed that was not a concern. How do I not prepaid in full? I would’ve immediately left. The area is gross high crime lots of drug activity. The hotel itself. I think the last time it was cleaned was about 1984. Everything was disgusting And explicitly said no smoking within 20 feet there was smoking everywhere you could not escape it it was a cigarette smell and other smoke. Lots of homeless people on site camped out overall zero stars I felt very inane and worried about my personal property. This hotel should be condemned. You don’t expect much from a motel six but you expect to be greeted properly to be safe and clean. If you’re a normal person just looking for a reasonable place to stay and you value safety and cleanliness. I would not stay here if you have zero other options it might be considerable but for an extra $20 I would’ve rather stayed anywhere else again if I had not paid in full, I would’ve left promptly it was that bad

    The bed was clean and very comfortable. Pillows were nice as well. There was a small fridge and a microwave. The general cleanliness was good. It was quiet and very convenient to restaurants, grocery store, gas station, etc. The neighborhood seemed safe. The room was very basic and had damage that needs repair. The bathroom door handle was busted in. It still functioned but it was crushed so the inside of the door was showing. The room could use some renovation and a deep clean. There's a crevice where the bathtub walls meet the bathtub and there was obvious long-time dirt in the crevice. While the floor was clean, it was dirty around the edges and baseboard. There were two bath towels but only one hand towel and one washcloth.

    The bathroom door did not close completely. I had to mess with the strike plate to get it to close and lock. I think people live at the hotel. Around 10pm we could hear a child running on the second floor. The walls are thin, so you can hear most noises.

    My stay was horrible. The side table was sticky and obviously hadn’t been cleaned at all. Then the upstairs guest showered and that’s where the trouble began. It was pouring a solid stream of water from the ceiling and it was ballooning with water inside several parts of the wall. It was so bad you couldn’t use the bathroom without getting some guys shower water on you. They thankfully refunded me.

    I’ve stayed in nicer Motel 6’s. This place was old and run down, the room had a terrible smell that I don’t think air freshener could have helped. The towel rack was falling off the wall. The tub had stains, the towels had hair from previous guests on them. The room was facing the main road and the noise was crazy. Had to leave the tv and AC on to help drown it out. The bed was old and lumpy. Would not recommend this place unless it was an absolutely last resort and even then I would say sleep in your car. I had a two night stay and checkout the following morning and got room someplace else for my second night in town.

Eventually, I spoke to somebody in reservations and at about that same time I saw the staff member going to a room. I understand it’s not easy if you’re the only staff person, but I would’ve thought that there would’ve been at least a note on the door that said I’ll be back shortly. That staff person did get the additional towels and shampoo we needed-appreciated that but once again she was not pleasant.

    Where shall I start? This property is a dump. Run down, out dated and dingy. It reminded me of the old transient hotels on Chicago's old Madison ave when we used to call it " skid row". There was literally only one electrical outlet behind the phone desk to power up my wife's cpap. The street noise from Scottsdale ave. is ridicules. And, fyi, if you do decide to stay here, do yourself a favor and book a chiropractic adjustment and a full body massage before you sleep in that bed with those pillows. No hair dryer, no coffee, no usb ports, terrible, pixilated TV, no modern amenities to even speak of. This should be a $30 per night flop house for drifters. Literally stay anywhere else but here!!

    This is just a basic spartan motel if you need cheap accommodations in the area. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Rooms were small and spartan, but clean. They did provide a refrigerator and microwave. No shampoo was provided, only soap, and linens were at a minimum. Coffee was available in mornings but no breakfast. Area is a little rough (lots of homeless) but provides many dining and shopping options nearby. I was a little worried about my car in the parking lot considering the area and fellow guests, and management takes no responsibility for damage/theft.

    There was no top sheet on the bed when we arrived. The phone to the front desk wouldn't ring. I had to walk down and get a sheet to put on the bed. There was only one bath towel, one wash cloth and a hand towel. The next evening when we got back, the room hadn't been cleaned. I had to walk down to the office to get towels, wash rags and hand towel and 2 more pillows those we had were very flat. I asked why our room wasn't serviced they said the maids knock & if no one answered they didn't clean. I told them they would never get an answer, we were working everday there. When I got back with the pile of stuff there were no wash rags at all but 2 handtowels, 1 bath towel, one smaller bath towel and bath rug. Oh, no coffee for the pot in the room. The day they did clean they left 1 coffee pod.
