Motel 6 Salinas South Monterey 639

To begin with, we booked through a third party site (hotels.com). It said the hotel was at least a 7 out of 10. When we arrived, the room we were given was occupied by someone else or had not been cleaned..It was late at night, so we were given another room which was a smoking room and a single full sized bed, which we had reserved 2 beds and a non-smoking room. The room smelled liked old cigarettes, the TV did not work at all, and the ceiling tiles were bowed and discolored. Also, the door in the bathroom did not close unless you lifted the toilet seat AND the lid. The wall of the bathroom was kicked in as well. This property does not live up to the newer Motel 6 standards. We will now pay closer attention to Trip Advisor reviews. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money for a nicer room elsewhere.

There was one hair on the bedsheet, either from the cleaning crew or from the previous guest. I hope it was not from the previous guest who slept in that bed and then the bed sheet were not changed. There was one other hair on the towel rack. There were only two towels from 4 people. There are not enough hooks to hang the towels. Towels are rolled and put inside some holes with a yellow cover, the holes are not cleaned, there was a lot of dust inside. The toilet did not have a cover. The carpet was not vacuumed. There were like breadcrumbs on the bed so i am thinking the bed sheets really were not changed from the previous guest and this is a bit disgusting. I understand there is no breakfast available during Covid but at least they could have provided some coffee/tea in the lobby. I booked a non smoking room but it smelled of sigarette.

This is my 2nd time staying in this motel. Depending on who is working, depends on what you need to check in. The same USED Tea bag was on the stairs to 2nd floor opposite end from elevator, right where it was 3 weeks ago. Don’t think they clean the walkways or any area where the wind and trash swirl. Heater did not work! Thank goodness I had a couple blankets in my car. Room needs to be aired out, musty odor. If you expect hot water to shower, turn on high hot and then go have a cup of coffee, it takes that long to get hot. Room was clean, mattress comfortable. For the price, you get what you paid for
