I wasn’t murdered in the 40 mins I spent there so…there’s that. The mold, the dead bugs in our room, the lack of housekeeping, the moist bed, the already wet shower and bathroom floor…

This was probably the worst motel I have stayed in, and I thought I'd stayed in some bad ones before. When I first walked in, the room immediately smelled of smoke and urine. I turned to shut the door, and the extra lock to secure the door was falling off. The bed didn't even have a blanket on it. There were two sheets instead. The floor appeared dirty, and the bathroom looked very unclean. The towels in the bathroom also seemed dirty. They were damp and had dark spots on them. There were no amenities like shampoo or conditioner. This motel wouldn't have been bad, probably, for its actual price, but since it was F1 weekend, they jacked the price up really high. No way was the room worth the price. I know for the future, no matter what, just don't book with Motel 6.

Pool was completely dirty, the door to our room did not shut all the way, the dead bolt was not functional, despite being 2 beds there was only one towel, upon asking for more towels we were given only a single extra, there were consistantly homeless people loitering outside, the place constantly smelled of weed, the sound proofing between rooms was non existant.

The parking was really good. Had a lot of parking no issues with that. The check-in was easy. The neighbours were quite loud like in the middle of night. They were just banging doors.

If I wasn’t only using it to sleep after the race and everywhere else booked up I would left immediately. Room dirty, water pressure terrible in the shower, shower curtain falling down, only had 1 towel in the room and was told by staff they don’t have enough towels and to give them a couple of hours to wash them, it was already 10:30 PM.

If you had a guest even for 10 minutes they have to sign in people outside constantly in the corners you can hear everything from my next door dogs bark all night I mean if they got people staying there for months or weeks put them on a different side of the people that are just standing there overnight it makes more sense

Todo estaba muy sucio, cochino y en mal estado, el sanitario estaba tapado, llame a la recepción y me dijeron que ya iban, nunca llegaron, volví a llamar y ni siquiera me respondieron la llamada nuevamente, las habitaciones solo había una almohada, no había cobijas para arroparse, olía mal

The hotel is in a very sketchy neighborhood. My daughter and I were on a one night trip and booked here. We regretted that decision. The staff was very sweet, and super helpful but the hotel itself is not great. There were homeless people in the parking lot at the gas station next door that harassed us when we left the hotel. My daughter was scared the rest of the night. A few rooms down from us 2 men were outside their room smoking weed. our key stopped working at 11pm so we had to walk in the dark back to the office to have them fix it (which was not a close walk.) They did with no problem but it was just the point of it. The a/c barely worked. My bed had only 2 sheets and no comforter. The good thing was the beds were nice to sleep on. Very comfortable. Unfortunately, did not feel very safe here and would never stay again. Everyone who works here was awesome tho.

Rooms wasn’t clean, dog hair and strong dog smell when we arrived, multiple colored stains and all the sheets, and dirty surfaces across the whole room. The staff was very friendly and considerate however the cleaning staff must have forgotten to give us a shower curtain??? AC was working but room never cooled off even if we had it running for hours nonstop. Front door to room didn’t fully close nor was the metal plate holding the door handle and lock to the door fully secured with multiple loose screws. Do not recommend

This motel 6 is doing a complete turn around assuming motel 6 has join Budget inn & Austin motor inn. The staff was very helpful and understanding to me because my situation was a little bit complicated seeing how I got paid. Day would come when my check hadn’t come like it should the staff always worked with me and allowed me to stay. But don’t get it twisted the only reason of them working with me is because I’ve always paid, follow the rules of the property and didn’t have no extra stuff going on. I work a job and they knew it and had plenty of proof that I don’t do no lying. I’ll always go and stay at motel 6 north. They getting rid of all nonsense and trouble makers, no more trash around the property and on top of the business.

Overflowing trash bins The workers simply were not taking care of the property. Plenty health concerns from dog poop to Brown pool water along withtrash everywhere. Unsavory people hanging out smoking weed to whatever else Staff for the most part were not helpful. It was 2 people in my party but only one set of towels. When asked the front desk for towels,they said there were none. This Hotel needs to be reported to motel 6

When using the ac in some rooms it’s best to keep the bathroom door closed until the room is at the temp you like. The property has new general managers and they are really cleaning up the property and getting rid of those that cause any problems. The staff is always helpful but of course there a some u have to watch because they do too much. I clean my own room but the house will come more often now. The washers have been cleaned and wash well you must pay attention to the time because some will take your stuff out if they need said washer or dryer. It’s getting better liters by the day everything you need is in walking distance and nobody bothers you no matter what time of the day it is.

I was turned away at 10pm after a trip into a new city. I made the reservation online and was told when i arrived it was first come first serve and no room would be available that night. Then to make matters worse they still charged me a fee. I’m in the process of disputing. It was was a dump, the photos online are definitely catfish photos. Beware.

I want to thank larii and mr frank who help me and my husband deal with a huge issue that had me in tears and hurt. They both went above and beyond for us and also the young man that works the front desk most of the time. I dont remember his name but he is a young black man. All three showed me why I want to keep coming back.

And last but not least even if it’s a non smoking room it smells rancid. It’s pet friendly the staff is nice Enjoy your stay

I was surprised how safe I felt while being located close to a major highway. If you’re low maintenance and looking for a low-key base, choose Motel 6! The staff was friendly and made accommodations for my needs. The rooms were pristine. If I wasn’t moving to Austin, I would choose staying here again :) THANK YOU!

Paint peeling on the ceiling, no blanket on bed. Only 1 towel, 1 washcloth and 1 hand towel for 2 people. When asked for more only told no they gave none but would get back to us next day. No towels next day either. Needless to say we stayed 3 nights no new towels no maid service of any kind. 2 full garbage cans in room. Outside garbage cans all full and running over! Stairs sticky and filthy. As well as office check in. Floor dirty needed mopping! No recommendations from us. Except don't go. I'd give 0 stars if I could.

i booked rm 264, it was a single bedroom with one queen size bed and i paid extra for a fridge and microwave on the second floor, it was a nice size room and came with a tv, desk, chair and phone, the only thing is that one of the bed lights didn't work, and the shower was very little, it was a stand up shower, and did not have a bathtub, they serve coffee in the mornings which i didn't find out until the last day i checked out, the TV remote was very slow in finding the channels

What a DUMP. How can a health and safety hazard of a Motel 6 be allowed to operate. They have more cameras than rooms and ended up knowing why. I was made to sign a waiver to that I can’t have any guests. Guess why, junkies and prostitute in the area. Walking outside the motel it smelled like urine and dog feces all over. Room was a total dump. TV was not working both beds had a lot of all colors of hairs and one bed still had someone’s head print and wrinkles! Restroom had wall damage all over and also smelled. Cockroaches started to come out too. Shady people coming in to look for certain guests and cars also just parked and never got out. Went to the nearby store and neighborhood is also a dump. Plenty of junkies and homeless. Too many issues to list here. Left to another hotel.

I love the home feel. It’s a family owned business and we loved the quiet, clean, well- maintained surroundings. We will definitely stay again! The price is very reasonable too! Convenient to food, groceries, gas, shopping. Bathroom is spacious, no carpet a big plus!!! Very very clean, small fridge, and microwave. Had a nice taco truck just feet away, very delicious authentic food. Everything worked well, no issues at all! Very nice and courteous staff. Love the snacks! Outside very well maintained, nice pool, parking right in front of my room. Safety and security here was awesome, no issues at all.

Walked into our non-smoking room which smelled very strongly of cigarettes. The bed was also undone, doubt that the room had been inspected at all in between guests stays. Canceled and went elsewhere.

My only issue I had was for the 5 days I was there I had a broke remote went up to tell the office the next day they said maintenance supposed to come I don't know did they come because I was at work but I know when I came to the hotel I still had the broke remote for the 5 days I was there

room was clean, ac was decent, but the people around the area were loud, someone that kept going to the main office walked by us and said hi my other 2 kids didnt say anything and i said hello and he made a comment about someone being all dressed up and not able to say hello. was unacceptable. no one is entitled to someone else in a matter of anything. there was a strong weed smell coming in the room all night, people being loud all night, loud vehicles coming in and out. the tv remote batteries were dead, weird holes in the room. people fighting when i checked into the room. i will not be staying in this hotel anymore.

Well it's definitely a basic type motel, Hot water, working toilet, mini fridge w/freezer, queen size bed, Cold A/C most of the time, 26" lcd TV. If you don't plan on swimming in the public pool (I wouldn't) and sketchy parking( I made sure I could keep an eye on my Truck from my second story window). I did sleep with dead bolt latch on and moved the luggage caddy in front of the door for added measure. But when it's Under $60 a night really how much more can you really ask for on a budget. The room was clean and so was the microwave/fridge.

We had a very disppointing experience at this hotel. From the moment we checked in, it was clear that the property is poorly maintained and in serious need of updates. The room was rundown, with unattractive furnishings and it did not feel clean or inviting at all. In addition, the hotel did not feel safe, which mad out stay even more uncomfortable. Because of this, we decided not to stay-we checked in and left shortly after seeing the room. Unfortunately, this was not what we expected, and it did not meet even basic standards for comfort. I would not recommend staying here.

I still had 7 more days that they need to refund back to me that I paid for. But did not get to stay until my reservation was not over yet and I was removed from on 04/20/2026 and should have stay until 04/28/2026 I paid until that day. But I was not allowed to stay until the end of my reservation was up so legally the owe me money back for theft of service. At the price of $41.00 a day times 7 days the owe me $ 287.00 and I believe they should pay me all moneys back for the treatment I went through my services animal and I had to sit in the rain for more than 8 hours until I could get someone to pick us up on that day I am a disabled senior citizen I have a seizure disorder and a heart condition and could have died on that day. I have every right to sue your company and their for the way my service animal and I were treated so poorly i will never recommend your organization or any company that you sponcer ever again.

While the internet speed and television service were satisfactory, and the mattress was acceptable, the overall condition of the room was disappointing. The accommodations felt outdated and lacked basic amenities, such as a coffee maker or face napkins. No lotions or shampoo either. I also found the cleanliness of the room to be below standard, specifically noting that both the towels and the toilet were not properly cleaned prior to my arrival. Towels were dirty with yellow stains on it. Room was cleaned but everything so used and old that it looked cheap and poor. Bathroom door has severe dents and repainted 10 times. Front door wouldn't shut completely and pops from edge that insects or bugs can easily crawl in. Furthermore, the environment did not feel suitable for a family stay. The significant noise from the highway made it difficult to sleep, the pillows were uncomfortable, and I had concerns regarding the security of my vehicle in the parking area. People were fighting/ yelling in the parking lot at 3 am. AC was very noisy and would wake me up every time it runs on. Due to these factors, I do not intend to stay at this location again. I hope you will take this feedback into consideration to improve the experience for future guests.

I am not sure about the room because I left because that area is disgusting with a lot of people men around there hanging around a lot of druggies homeless people made me feel very uncomfortable. I asked the lady in the front if I could have something in the front and downstairs it was going to be hard for me to go upstairs. I had to leave because she’s not accommodate me whatsoever.
