It was nice the room was pretty big and clean and it wasn't to expensive to book with them and Ioved that I didn't need to put a deposit down to get the room alot of hotels have that and I can't stand it so that was a big plus, not sure if I would stay again but it was definitely worth the money !

The property is obviously under heavy renovation. The bed was comfortable and clean, however, except for a tv (new) and a fridge (old) there were no room amenities. The location is excellent for someone overnighting at the Philadelphia airport; just a short Uber ride away. I hope they get place fixed up soon . It could be a real gold mine for the owners.

I stayed here last year when it was under different management and had no issues. When I got there, I didn’t know there was no shuttle until I saw the sign on the door. Online it states there is. The room that I had was not clean. The air conditioner was not working. It looked like it was punched in. The room was hot as can be. The room smelled like weed but it was suppose to be non smoking. The walls are too thin. I heard an angry drunk the whole time I was there. I did not feel safe there at all.

He said it was too late to get an airport shuttle so we spent the extra $20 getting to this filthy disgusting motel. There were some friendly guests out walking around at 1 AM who were really very happy to smile. Tell us where we can catch the bus right after the hotel employee told us there was no bus. Shocked that Expedia would even list this place! The first light switch as you walk in the room didn’t turn on any lights. The air in the room was beyond toxic and I thought I was going to vomit after we were in there for five minutes with the door wide open. Cooling system grate/vent was covered in rust and filth so when you turn the fan on, it just circulated the nastiness. This is housing for people who have no place to go except to live in the street. It should not be a listed hotel available to visiting travelers passing through because they missed their flight.

Decent Overnight Experience

The room was super humid and shows the renovation wear and tear over the years, but it was nice that they had the AC running super cool. What someone would expect for a $70 hotel near the airport, but the bed was super comfortable for a Motel 6 so I don’t have complaints as an overnight layover. They even have a free shuttle service, just call the front desk and wait at B4.

This Motel 6 is a short distance from Philadelphia International Airport and that is its greatest strength. Check-in was easy and fast. The rooms, the sheets, and the towels are clean. Sounds from other rooms are muffled, but still softly audible. The lighting is bright but harsh. There are no rugs, which is not necisarily a flaw, but ads to the starkness of the room. There is plenty of space, but only the bed to sit on. The early-morning shuttle was punctual and the driver was exceptionally friendly and upbeat, which is welcome after a gruelling day of postponed flights. This is a convenient and highly economical hotel.

Great location and value; bugs not so much.

The location and price were great. The clerk at check in (we got there late due to delayed flight) was EXCELLENT. The room was updated and very nice. The shuttle did not show up. We had to buy an Uber (said there had been a death in the family so they would not get there until 200 am but we landed late already at 1230 am). We killed two roaches (one in the shower and one in the room). We put our stuff off the floor and kept the room ice cold (they apparently don't like that). We are sealing our bags at home for a week to kill them before we bring them in. But for the bugs, it is a great value

Their service was good. The only problem is we had a long layover, and everything. Around the area was booked. So we gave it the benefit of a doubt according to the photos. Well, those pictures were very deceiving because when we got there, it was a strong smell smell of smoke. We could hardly breathe. And never mind, get rest, we woke up the next day, smelling like we had smoked cigarettes, and we are not smokers and smelled liked it. We were traumatized by our experience. So hopefully this helps other people not fall for the pictures online. Ps i couldn't take a peaceful p*** because i' a roach appeared, and so I will sit in at the toilet.

Not a good experience, we definitely don’t recommend this hotel. Check in took 30 minutes, trying 5 different rooms and more than 20 keycards, before we finally got into a room. There were no blankets on the bed, only sheets, and we had to ask for them. There was only 1 large towel, not even bath size, and no shampoo. Paint was peeling from the walls and ceiling and the floors were so dirty our bare feet turned brown walking on them. The woman at the front counter was very nice and I felt sorry for her, and it was a convenient shuttle to the airport.

I checked in at 2am By 3am (1 hour later I had checked out and reported it to Orbitz on the chat. 1. Strong Marijuana smell in the room 2. Blood stains on sheets 3. Cockroaches in the room (this was the last straw) I took pictures and submitted them. Please consider issuing a refund. I tried working with the hotel staff. I was tired at 2am and didn’t want to go anywhere else. The staff gave me clean sheets. The staff also noted the strong marijuana smell. I didn’t want to get a smoking charge. (My wife and I do not smoke) but the cockroaches was the last straw. I will NOT sleep with cockroaches roaming the sheets and bed at night
