Motel 6 Austin, TX - Midtown

The interior and exterior photos shown on the site are AI. The exterior looks nothing like shown in photos. The room was filthy. Paint was peeling, mirror was cracked, moldy shower and the lock to the adjoining room did not lock. I demanded a refund. I would’ve slept in my car if I’d had to. It was awful.

DO NOT MAKE A RESERVATION FOR THIS PROPERTY. Before I could tell my reservation number to check in they informed me that there was no WiFi, internet or tv. There were roaches consistently in the room as well as ants. The house keeping doesn’t sweep or mop the floor. The front desk wears pajamas to work and look extremely disheveled. I had to go to front desk to get my key card remade everyday because it would stop working everytime I left. Several homeless camped out/living out of their car here. Oh the toilet didn’t work here either. I had to use my plumbing skills to fix it.

The rooms weren’t the best as the tv’s weren’t working at the time and there was this overwhelming chemical smell to the room. Outside of the area being kinda sketchy, you get what you paid for.

Remote wasn’t working at all and lights were dim. No help from staff about this.

The tv didn’t work, the shower dripped all night and the AC temp couldn’t be adjusted. Not in the best neighborhood so I was woken up at 4:30 AM with people yelling and arguing.

The bathroom

There was mould in our room and the property was booked and we got there later in the evening and was unable to find another place that night so we had to stay in that room.

WiFi was super slow, tv remote did not work with television, there were stains on the bedding

Tv didn’t work and linens were still damped, however in all fairness they did accommodate an early check in. I expected the state of the room for the price so really no complaints. Would I stay here again? Sure- it was cost effective and it served its purpose.

Hotel staff was great. They communicated very well and check in was seamless. The rest of the property was not so great. There were random people walking through the property that were apparently not staying there. It was obvious

I had no choice, too late for a new reservation. Walls, floors, bathroom dirty, tv without signal, I couldn’t find another place because the city had a big event. I will never stay again at this place. The pictures show something different.

El toilet es muy chico,dura mucho para irse el agua, la tv no funcionaba,muy poca luz,el piso sucio,de todo las camas muy comodas!!

Was not very clean had roaches all over the place

Awful - really badly maintained. Don’t feel safe

I strongly recommend avoiding this hotel. This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The surrounding area felt extremely unsafe, with people fighting, breaking glass, and approaching guests. I was uncomfortable even bringing belongings to and from my vehicle. Unfortunately, the room was just as bad. There was long hair in the bedding, pubic hair around the toilet, a dirty shower, and filthy floors. The toilet wasn’t even secured to the floor. The television didn’t work, the room telephone was broken, and the Wi-Fi password was useless. I reported the problems to the front desk that evening and was told maintenance would address them the next day. When I followed up the next morning, maintenance wasn’t available. When I reported the disgusting cleanliness issues, the only solution offered was fresh sheets. Nobody offered to clean the room properly or move me to another room. Staff seemed irritated by my complaints, offered no apology, and simply told me to contact Expedia because they couldn’t do anything. They said they would note my concerns, but nothing was resolved. Between the unsafe environment, unsanitary conditions, broken amenities, and unhelpful staff, I couldn’t get a decent night’s sleep. This hotel failed to provide even the most basic accommodations. Save your money and stay somewhere else. I am requesting a full refund for this completely unacceptable experience.

The staff was nice but unfortunately the room was dingy and there were several roaches that we saw and killed. I know it’s a low budget hotel but it was very disheartening.

Terrible place to stay, the pictures are a lie

The TVs and WiFi didn’t work the whole visit

The Tv didn’t work and it was very loud outside even for it to be during the week.

In Christ, Mary

Not a thing

The TV did not work, the Wifi did not work, the pool was completely drained and looked terrible, the property had vagrants everywhere and the bedding was dirty and the staff did nothing about it. The room was NOT worth the price we paid and I will never return to this location. Nothing was stated in the booking that there would be no TV or Wifi we were not told until we reached the hotel for check in.

The balcony.

The room was infested with roaches, there was a sign on the door like it had recently been replaced. A hole in the wall where the door handle would have hit it. There were people in and out of rooms at all hours of the night walking from the street. It smelled of weed outside and cigarettes inside the rooms. The tub didn’t drain, it was also clogged.

The front desk guy warned me at check in the tv wasn’t working I was like ehh okay. I got the room anyway! As soon as I walked in the room I was instantly disgusted there was dried up dead roach killings on the wall the tub needs to be replaced floor needs mopping. So I cleaned up the best I could myself. Then I started seeing the roaches myself and im not talking 1,2, or 3 im talking about roach infestation they were coming out of everywhere. I called the front desk the night gentlemen told me there was not anymore rooms I think he was lying anyway. So I slept in my car for the night and as soon as morning came I contacted Hotel.com and requested my money back for the rest of my stay I was very disappointed because I was on a mini vacation that got cut early I just decided to come home.

Clean laundry plus tissue when ever

Not worth it to spend money to stay there. Staff is rude and the neighborhood is infested with drug dealers and homeless people.

The room wasn’t clean and it was infested with roaches we had to move to another place. It was dirty over all

Clean room

It was perfect for our needs. The ice machine did work. The staff were friendly. The bed was comfortable. We were in a bottom room, which I asked for, but the noise from above and the talking from outside was quite evident. Our room's bench needs to be reupholstered. There were a few flies in our room.

not bad. ok for 1-2 nights stay

Room was very clean and housekeeping is daily (no "do not disturb" sign available though). Door could lock but still gave/wiggled once closed, which wasn’t super reassuring given the neighborhood. No shampoo provided, towels were thin but replaced every day. Super quiet for two out of 3 nights but some guests listened to loud TV/music one night until very late. No vending machine, no fridge in the room - and the photos of the rooms on Hotels.com did not match the room we had at all. Mattresses were sliding on the base, which was annoying. Reception staff was very helpful. There are a lot of street folks hanging out in the parking lot and nearby, and they will try to engage with you/follow you if you’re trying to go to the 7/11 nearby or the stores across the street - so be aware and vigilant. Not a hotel for families with young children for sure, but a solid place to stay if you are budget oriented and just plan on sleeping there while enjoying all Austin has to offer.

Clean and safe

Plenty of parking spaces, breakfast at Denny’s right next door- strong AC -clean rooms

Good for price

There were roaches in the room, the ac leaked, there was food splatter on the wall, the light for the sink next to bathroom was not functioning, tv was broken.

no Television access, no refrigerator, no microwave

New beds Noise at night. No tv. No internet

I’ve stayed at Motel 6 before in another state and had a great experience, so I’m sure this will be fine in a few months when their construction is done. That said the location (and its neighboring hotel) somehow feel a little rougher than the other hotels right across the street. After this experience I booked slightly more expensive hotels for the rest of our trip.

Ugh

The pictures are of the other Motel 6 down the road. This one looked like something out of a horror movie. I’ve stayed at the other one. They charged the same rate, but didn’t even have TVs. It was absolutely destroyed. Crappy A/C. The door didn’t close all the way. It was scary and awful. Do not recommend. False advertising!!!

The television nor WiFi was working. And the staff didn’t inform me at the time of check in.!

Clean room, comfortable bed. AC worked well, nice big tv

Was not given a room because I had paid for it thru Expedia even do I called and was told they had my room.

No internet and no cleaning very poor staff

Also No WiFi and no cable for the tv FYI

There were cockroaches around the room Terrible place

Under construction remodeling it. Room was clean

To make matters worse, I found roaches in the bathroom. The combination of the mold smell, apparent water damage, and pest issues made the room feel unsanitary and poorly maintained. The atmosphere outside the room wasn’t any better. There were several questionable individuals lingering in the parking lot, which made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe. After seeing the condition of the room and the overall environment, I checked out almost as quickly as I checked in and booked a room at another hotel. This was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I’ve had, and I would not recommend staying here.

Really bad and our room has terrible smell. There is a lot of better options with the same price.

Mold on the walls and ceiling of room 231.

Property under renovation but well maintained.

Mosquitoes

The room was clean and neatly put together. Room 108 the door would not open immediately you had to pull handle a certain way and that information was not shared with me by front desk. The t in the room had no satellite or connection so I was unable to watch any tv.

Enjoyed the new hardwood flooring, new sink and common anreas, and the how clean the room was. The facility is old and needs upgrades on all hardware (doors, windows, bathtubs), the neighborhood is noisy, but price and location is good. A solid 3/5.

Night check in staff was great. The original room we had the toilet wasnt working. She was able to reach out to the property manager and switch the rooms for us. Check in was fast and easy as well. She also took into consideration the location of the room for our comfort.

TVs don't work

TV never worked

Good Service.

Property is different from pictures online

No breakfast provided, however my stay was very comfortable.., nice lighting and good coffee...

The TV don't work

No microwave…….no fridge…….no coffee and surely no breakfast….thank God for Dennys…..there was constant police activity from drug and prostitution on this property They refused to refund me so I could get something else and I couldn’t afford to just let them keep my $$$$$

Solo traveler that stayed for four nights. The room was super clean. The air conditioning was okay. No microwave or fridge. The pool is under renovation. I would call ahead to ask if you’re looking forward to use the pool considering how HOT it is in Texas. The young lady staff who welcomed me was very patient and accommodating as well as the young man who helped me checkout. I will say however, I called front desk on one of the nights and the staff(man) that answered seemed abit rude with his one worded reply. This I feel management should look into because I personally felt ignored by this. Other than this, it’s a good place to be in if you’re on a budget. There’s a 24/7 diner right next door with a 7/eleven gas station right after. There is also a bus stop station near that can take you back and forth to the airport and also to the main city for sight seeing and shopping.

Free coffee The t.v are small selective cable... Mold in the bathrooms .roaches in the bathroom area..towels you can tell they are cheap..bo guest services..no refrigerator..no vending machines..no snack.machines

Internet rarely connects or I should say there is NO internet available, Shower has weak pressure, not enough hot water. Door lock was broken, need several attempts to unlock door through keycard.

It is terrible that it is infested with pests and smells of cigarette smoke. Furthermore, the area where it is located is unsafe.

Clean Too far from downtown

The room was very dirty and smelled like cigarettes. There were cockroaches and bugs everywhere.

Ok for single guy. Questionable for family.

The property is old, but it can still be cleaned better than they do. The walls in the room looked like someone either spit on the walls or threw stuff at the walls. There was no iron, hair dryer, or other amenities. The door was hard to open to get in the room; the door had been kicked in or something so that pot a metal piece there instead of fixing the door frame. E asked for help when we couldn’t get in the room, and the staff act as if they didn’t speak English enough to help. It was better than the other property we were at.

Lots of roaches ugh

Was not a fan of this location and a lot of outside activity was going on

Room was non-smoking, but smelled like someone had been smoking in it. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly. Was asked about a pet, but didn't bring one this time. Parking is small and tight. Be careful with those parking blocks!

No control on pets nor attention to other guests having parties etc

N/A

It doesn’t look like the pictures. It’s super dirty as well. Don’t stay here

I wish I had better things to say, but unfortunately I had to stay the one night, as I didn't have any other options, and was forced to find another hotel for the remainder of my stay in Austin. This is a place to be avoided if at all possible, cannot recommend it to anyone.

Very dirty, curtains stunk so bad I almost threw up… microwave didn’t work, half

Rooms do not have microwaves and refrigerators and ice machine was out . Worst experience ever never again. Especially traveling with kids do not go there my kids didn’t want to shower cause it looked so dirty! Pool wasn’t even working !

Pool was under construction, room was dirty and no amenities what so ever. Tv didn’t work, shower was rusty and had mildew and the towels were stained and the toilet was wobbly. Dead roaches in the lights above the bed.

Room smelled great and was clean but the room structure was horrible. Wi fi was weak and the people was sketchy. I’ve been to many but this one was pretty bad.

The toilet overflowed and there was no plunger nor a mop available

The worst hotel I’ve ever been in. Trash in a bag was just sittin in the parking lot . Roaches were friendly . Tub toilet walls light switches filthy .! It’s definitely run down and you’re getting what you’re paying for . Wouldn’t recommend

Rub!!! The staff didn’t say two words upon check in. Didn’t tell me where my room was or anything. The place is beyond sketchy. People screaming and fighting in the parking lot some man beat on my car fitting with some lady. They gave someone a key to my room then came up beat on my door asking why I was there. Like dude you checked me into the room, I paid for two night and left after one. Slept in my car. Will never be even if it was free stay there again.

Parking was ok, the ac kind of shabby, didn't keep temp. to good. Not here shop & i dont hsvd a pet

Requested no housekeeping, housekeeping was done, and the room was left with a strong chemical smell. I also then found a syringe in the toilet, and an opened second bar of soap sitting next to the one I’d opened myself

Should be condemned- very unsafe neighborhood

There was no fridge in the room and TV didn't work.

We booked the room to nap a bit before a show, no intention of spending the night and even a daytime nap here was worrisome. The door and walls were filthy. Just overall unattended to. I’ve never stayed at a motel 6 like this before. If it was at night it would not be safe. Sometimes you book the cheapest place just to lay your head down somewhere safe at night but this is not it. It felt very unsafe.

it was a nice place. the water pressure in the bathroom could of been a little stronger, but overall, it was a nice place

Room was nothing like pictured or described. Couldn’t watch tv. No mini fridge. Walls were all stained. Outlets were all popped out, not connected to the walls. Wasn’t comfortable there at all.

We never ever stepped into the room. Wanted our refund. Staff was getting really aggressive, his tone and manner wasnt professional at all. Staff stated one price ( it was higher). Checked the bank it was a different lower price. There was a discrepancy. Staff charged us x amount of dollars. Staff told us the manager was gonna be there next day, wasnt. We stayed at a different establishment that night, they insisted we stayed there' and checked out the next day.It wasn't safe. My wife didn't want to get out of the car. Called the cooperate office several times and got a run around.

You asked

Staff was goos about it due to issue with heater, but in general rooms could be in better working conditions.

The only issue was that the light to the sinnk are was not working and there was a leack in the shower that kept me up all night.

There is still a big hole in the ceiling above the bathtub . When the room above it runs its shower, water sprays everywhere in my bathroom

Still having problems getting towels

There was a hole in the roof over the bath tube

Still NO HEAT in room

The room was unsafe holes in the wall mole on the ceilings the pool had garbage inside of it. It was pimps and prostitute. The smoke dector was off yhe wall. The bathroom had blue tape on it. It was horrible. I had to check out and get another hotel!!!!

Still hat am issue with receiving towels. I’m in a room right now that the heater does not work

This is the 3rd day in a row that I haven’t received towels. when I asked the front desk for towels yesterday, it seemed like the clerk acted as if I were annoying him. Maybe not, that’s just the impression I got

Quick reservation n friendly service

I had problems receiving Towels for 2 days in a row

the house keeper let someone in my room while I was gone

Ese cuarto estaba lleno a olor a tabaco

Wifi

Convenient

Wifi

Room was filthy and lights didn’t even work. Area is very sketchy. so girls please beware. Groups of men hang out outside some rooms. We did not feel safe so we ended leaving.

Everything great at all

Typical roach motel

-

Again, the room was very clean, last time I stayed at the red roof and the room was smelly and the a/c didn’t work great. Surprisingly a great experience!

Photos on website were completely inaccurate! Photos made rooms appear well kept and in good condition; this was far from true. We ended up not staying the night as planned due to not feeling safe in this area.

Air conditions did work, lights did not work, towels stained, bathroom disgusting, things falling off walls and ceiling and floor.

Quiet place!

Room was not presentable. The bed has

The front desk staff is exceptionally great with the check in. The only problem with the property is they could step up the exterminations.
