Overall score1.0/ 5
When I first arrived at the hotel I went to the office handed them my ID she looked at my reservation and informed me that they overcharged me because the hotel had a 13 day special and they didn't give it to me even though I booked 14 days so we tried to call to get the discount price which was a little over $300 couldn't get a hold of anybody so I just told her just go ahead and submit the reservation because I just got off a long flight from Tampa and was really tired. I've got my room key finally and drove around back to my room there were no parking spots so I had to park on the side of the building opposite where my room was as soon as I got out of the car I was approached by a man who asked me for a cigarette if I had one and then proceeded to keep talking to me which was okay until later that night when he was banging on my hotel door to which I ignored him only for him and his friends to follow me to my car later that night telling me I was sick and look like a rapper's life and all the things that they would do to me when I asked management if there was a possible room in the front of the hotel they told me no. Well later that same day I went to the office because my key stopped working and a few walk ins came in and she offered them three different rooms in the front of the hotel. After I initially walked in my room I realized the toilet was running and would not stop, there was no blanket on the bed, I paid for a room with a fridge and a microwave which there wasn't one. Every time I left the hotel my key would not work and I have to go back to the office. Then my air conditioner leaked all over the floor. On about my 10th night I hear multiple sirens only to open the door and see tons of police officers including one right behind my vehicle they were going into the vehicle sitting directly next to mine because the vehicle had fun from the cops and there was a deceased person inside of it. I would have loved to get a new hotel but because there was a drag race in town there were no rooms anywhere. The ice machine didn't work one night, the vending machines didn't work the next. There were no towels at the pool the hot tub had no jets. Then when I had my ex mother in law over to swim they informed me that I could have nobody in my room and whoever came to the pool had to check in with ID. The only people that had been to my room was my ex mother in law and my father in law and it was only momentarily. There was several shady things going on including a man approaching me in the parking lot asking me if I had a "clean rig". Ignoring him and later found out that was a drug needle. But worst of all on my 13th at the hotel I had left early in the morning about 8:30 to go sightseeing with my ex mother in law then we went out to lunch dinner and went to the casino I did not arrive home till like 1:00 and I was told I had to leave the hotel because you could not stay there more than 13 days because of the city ordinance, even though I paid for 14 my flight did not leave until the next evening. My ex mother and my father in law were not in town because of mutual friends event and I had nowhere to go when I asked the hotel worker in tears where was I supposed to go she said there's plenty of other hotels in Tacoma which there was not because of the drag race. I ended up in my car all night long I had misplaced my cell phone because they only gave me 30 minutes to pack all my stuff up and it was exactly 30 minutes according to the rude woman working in the office acted like she was doing me a favor.

Overall score1.0/ 5
No kleenex, no coffee pot, no microwave, no refrigerator, people sleeping in there cars. No security box to lock personal items. Pillow fabric was scratchy. Door wasn't secure against door panel. Also I asked if place was in walking distance to a place I needed to go to. It wasn't close at all. I will never stay at a motel 6 ever again.

Overall score1.0/ 5
I booked a room at the motel 6 for 16 days. I reserved and paid for a room with a microwave and mini fridge. When I arrived there was no fridge or microwave. As a matter of fact I didn't get either one my entire trip even after this was pointed out to them. No offer to pay me back the price difference for the inconvenience or anything. I let it go as hotels in that area were booked up because of the drag races. While carrying some things inside I went to lay down and realized there was no blanket on the bed to which I was told they didn't have any thankfully I borrowed one from my friend who lives near by.

Overall score3.0/ 5
Refrigerator made a noise that was annoying. Asked for an extra blanket, never received it. Loud people upstairs. Looked like blood or feces on bathroom wall behind door.

I had a good experience and was able to have my kitten with me. Most ?pet friendly? hotels I found during my trip were for dogs only. It was an overall pleasant stay.

Overall score1.0/ 5
Horrible experience. I made a reservation and canceled it the same day because I couldn't make the trip I was thinking of and the Motel never gave me the reservation money back, no one gives me an answer to that and I had to pay for a service that I never used. The policies of the Motel say that if I cancel the reservation at least five days before the date of stay (which I did and have proof) they give me my full money back, they never did.
