There was big gash in middle of floor. Bad/low water pressure in shower and temperature didn’t get very warm/hot. Unsavory people lingering in parking lot. Don't feel like I got the value or experience for cost that I should have.

Not Great, Even For 1 Night

Overall not the best Despite being listed as "No Smoking" rooms it took 3 attempts to get a room that didn't completely reek of cigarette smoke. To make matters worse, we Felt unsafe during check-in and when we left the room, and later returned.

It's a Motel 6 so you get what you get for the price. Wouldn't recommend staying for more than 1 night. This is just a place to sleep and nothing more.

Low quality for Motel 6

Most of the time I consider Motel 6 to be a clean, no frills sleeping box and nothing more. While this was not by any means the worst hotel I’ve stayed in, it definitely skews a bit on the grungy side. Mostly it was the little things like; the tv was crooked, it had this old beat up dinette table with a very uncomfortable wood chair, the bathroom fan was extremely loud and the bedding seamed very old.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was below even basic accommodations: no closet, no suitcase stand, no shampoo, phone disconnected. Fortunately, the bed was OK and the shower and TV worked. There were pretty sketchy and loud people in the parking lot at times, which is likely beyond the control of the managers. All this said, this motel is much, much less expensive than other hotels in the area.

Location is convenient. This is very close to the oregon convention center. The room is what we can expect from a motel6. Note that while the description said there are fridge and microwave, it actually doesn't have fridge and microwave in the room. Previous reviews complained about noise on the street. To me, noise is not a problem. In fact, I believe all lodgings in the area are noisy due to the tram service but it is not that bad.

Took one look at the place and kept driving. Some pimp and his ho were posted up in the parking lot, blaring music, while he was cleaning his car while double-parked in the handicap spots. Avoid like the plague.

I wish I could give it zero stars!

The hotel is nothing like the pics! The dollies had soda? spilled and the entire room was sticky. Holes in walls. Ashes in lamp. Lamp without lightbulb. Top comforter had cig burns. TV tilt was broken and it slanted up toward ceiling. No hand towels. Wash clothes had pubic hairs. Towels had very long gray hairs all over! After I dried my hands I had to untangle grey hairs off me!!! And to top it off, when my son and I woke up, the floor was flooded. We grab our stuff and left very quickly!

Location is no doubt great. It is close to Trimet, Convention center etc. But the sheet has stains, holes, disfigured pillow,towels has torn, no place to hang your clothes, no closet at all. Has writing table but uneven. May not have dual pane windows because you can hear everything. People smokes within the premises, smells goes inside, thru the room. Spend more dough and stay somewhere else.
