The girl Kassandra at the counter was horrible. We tried checking in at 130pm and the only room available was on 3rd floor. She told us if we waited until 3pm we could get 1st floor no problem. So we came back at 3pm and she put us on 2nd floor so I complained and she said all the rooms on 1st are gone now. I told her why didn’t you save us one if you knew we wanted the 1st floor. At this time another girl at the counter overheard me complaining and she took over and gave me a room on 1st floor within couple minutes. Kassandra was horrible customer service and her word was no good.

Room was great awesome just sucks that when I go on online to reserve for 4 nights n total was 309 n added pay when I get there..then I get there n they tell me they cancelled a night and I still ended up paying 309 for 3 nights that means I paid 100 a night at MOTEL 6 not to mention all the homeless and druggies there..it was horrible I could of went n got a nice hotel that served breakfast for that price...when asked to talk to boss the manager said she already talked to him n he agreed with her..then told my fiance I went in and asked for the expensive room..NOT THE case at all ...if it was that I would of went to the Hyatt...so not only did they make up a lie they literally stold my money ..I needed 4 nights Monday n check out Friday n 309 was exactly what they charged me on my reservation...n made me check out Thursday..horrible definitely going to corporate office n reporting it..

We enjoyed the room but it was noisy! Upstairs, outside. And someone knocked on our door at midnight… seriously?! The bed was comfortable but wish it was a queen size bed and not just a double.
3.0
Room was dated and smelled of age. By far the highest priced motel 6 I’ve stayed at and definitely not worth the price. the only good part was the closeness to downtown.
3.0
The room was nice, adequate, and clean, but the pressure in the shower was extremely low. The Towel rack came off, and the refrigerator hummed all night until I realized where the noise was coming from and I unplugged it.

I thought this Motel 6 being in a prime location to downtown Palm Springs would be clean and safe. What we experienced was very concerning. It seems some guests live their full time, the room we were given was occupied by someone. The elevator did not work and the rooms were not clean. Thankfully the manager was accommodating by refunding our money for the two rooms we booked.

No hot water, no microwave air conditioner was busted. Rome was not clean.

Check in was unnecessarily difficult. Picture ID with name wasn't good enough. After going back to car to get Driver's License then they wanted ID for passenger as well.
The room had two beds but there was only inches between the beds and walls. Seriously NOT as advertised. And the mattress was like a futon with rocks.
No amenities in room at all, not even a box of Kleenex. The TV remote was missing the back holding the batteries in. Banging from somewhere throughout the night.
We lived through it and in fairness it did the basics barely.
Having said that, it was close to downtown which we wanted.

Pleasant and friendly staff but the place needs a MAJOR upgrade. Homeless people and drifters hanging around and camped out on the inner stairways and in the parking lot. Room doorway carpets filthy and worn out. One elevator out of service- the other looks and sounds like something in a scary movie. No shampoo or tissues in the rooms. BYO your own soap as well as what they provide is ridiculous. Sink drain stopper broken. No sheer curtain in the window so if you want any kind of privacy you need to close the curtain completely. The pool is nice but questionable looking people sitting out there drinking beer. Hot tub was under repair. The key room cards don’t always work. Very frustrating getting in even with new cards from the front desk. Thin walls makes it noisy. Not a great bed. Crazy shower experience in a very tiny narrow tub with an old clunky shower curtain. Very low shower head and very low toilet seat. No wonder this place is so cheap. Again, the staff working there were VERY nice and I think if Motel 6 gave them the resources they could turn that place around. Shame on Motel 6 “corporate”, not the office staff and housekeepers. They were all delightful and doing the best they could with what they have to deal with. Customers deserve better.

The gal at the front desk was very friendly and accommodating. My kids and I had a horrible experience at another place and I got very little sleep the night before. She worked hard on getting us into a room as quickly as possible. The room was clean and comfy for our one night stay.

Good place close to town

Where to start? The Hot Pocket wrapper that we found on the floor next to my bed upon checkout (we didn't have any Hot Pockets)? The wet washcloth that was wrapped around the shower curtain when we checked in? The drain that overflowed any time the sink was run? I get that you get what you pay for...but this was a little bit much.

Loud. Dirty. Smelled terrible.

This used to be a hidden gem, at a bargain price. Now it is always sold out, and prices are ridiculous. Mattress was poor, room was very small and a bit dated, and we had to leave our curtains closed at all times for safety and privacy. Next time, I will pay a bit more to stay elsewhere. Just not worth it.

Always a great stay and great price! Custiner service A+!

The walls are paper thin, and it was very hard to sleep with all the noise. The drains in the bathtub and sink barely drained. The beds were hard and there were no extra blankets besides the thin one on the bed. Would have loved to put the air conditioner on to drown out the noise but it was too cold.
3.0
A bit more/too basic. Extremely cheap T.P., no kleenex, tiny bar soap only. No extra blanket. Nice hot water but no water pressure. Vending machines did not take cash.
It "read" better than it actually was.

Mostly met expectations. Rooms were fairly recently renovated and comfortable, including a table and nightstands, though not large. Outdoor passageways needed sweeping.

Last minute stay over. For a budget stay, it was updated, clean, and comfortable.

No Smoking ADA room. It was clean. It smelled musty and smoky. The electrical outlets are worn out and will not hold a plug. There are also too few of them. The sink bowl is broken, the bathroom exhaust has no cover, the handicap rails in the shower are rusty. Killing the smell was easy. It took a half can of Lysol up front and a spritz or two daily. This property is a very convenient and popular location. The staff is nice, pleasant and helpful. They also make good, hot coffee, available in the lobby. It’s simply overdue for remodel upgrades. The outside campus is neat and clean, the picture is accurate. 02/2024 Full disclosure: this was an extremely busy weekend with many tournaments and conferences and conventions. Every room was filled.

Room key cards stop working. Happened twice during my 4 day stay. Happened during previous stays at this and other Motel 6s. Never happens at more upscale hotels like Hampton. I have low expectations but bed was terribly uncomfortable and thermostat had no visible markings so didn't know which direction was heating or cooling. Bath towels are pretty small.

Staff are amazing, but the room needs more attention.

Made a one night visit with my girlfriend to Palm Springs but didn’t need 5-star accommodations since we would only be using a hotel room for less than 12 hours. So I settled on this Motel 6 and was pleasantly surprised. Good location and good condition overall. Nothing fancy but nothing to complain about either. Check in and out was simple and the room was what was needed for my short stay. I would ask for a comforter for the bed. I don’t like to use the heater and prefer to have warm blankets to stay warm when I sleep. Found one of the most amazing bagel places for breakfast called “Townies” walking distance from the hotel. Happy with my choice for a room.

Motel 6 is not a luxurious outfit, but I found it to be good quality for economy accommodations. The room was clean, the bed was sufficiently comfortable, sheets, pillows and towels all adequate for the price. I did not have much interactions with staff but the little interactions I had were all good. My only recommendation is bring your own toilet paper, the quality of what Motel 6 is using is laughably poor.

This is the first time I have stayed at this hotel. The office staff was very friendly and check-in and check-out was very efficient.
I had a Non-smoking room but when I opened the door I could smell that somone had smoked in the room.
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable and I would stay there again in the future.
6.0
All in all it was below average. My toilet was not flushed by prior guest/person and I was greeted with a poo in the toilet. It smelled of marijuana in my room pretty bad. The jacuzzi was not operating, which I was really looking forward to after my 100 mile race yesterday. I will not book here in the future.

Heater was not working, room smelled like someone was smoking inside even do we got a non smoking room . The smoke detectors was covered with a plastic bag. Room phone to call front desk was not working. Blankets had cigarettes burn on them .
