Motel 6 Ft Stockton

You obviously get what you pay for, or what you don’t get for the lower price you paid. I needed a simple, clean, and inexpensive room for one night while driving from New Mexico to Austin, Texas. I’ve stayed at many Motel 6’s over the decades since they began and many of them are excellent, economical facilities. Some, however, are the older style buildings that have never been upgraded or maintained in the manner they should be. Unfortunately, the one in Ft. Stockton is one of these. A handicap room with an oversized, roll-in type shower for wheelchairs is great, but why would you build such a facility for handicapped persons and install no grab-bars or handles of any kind, and no shelving inside the unit for shampoos and such? This one had none at all. I can stand up to shower, but my spinal issues require me to hold onto something at all times. It’s a fall risk for me and surely for many others who use such a facility. There were also two main lights not working in my room. One was the closest lamp by the bed, and the other was the main large light over the sink. I had to shave by flashlight. The standard in-room A/C unit had plainly visible buildup of caked dirt and dust in the vent filters. These have obviously not been cleaned in a very long time. The landline phone in room was not functioning. I tried to call the manager/operator to get the WIFI password (which was not offered to me at sign-in) and had to walk back to the office. The only option offered by the manager on duty for all these issues was to move me to another room, but all available rooms were upstairs. I had already unloaded my belongings into the handicap room (#131) in question. I have a spinal disability that makes stairs problematic, which is why I reserved a handicap room on the ground floor. I don’t expect a luxury experience at Motel 6 even in the best of circumstances, but I do expect a clean and functional room regardless of the price–a room that has received at least all of the basic maintenance. I will not be returning to this property.

Hello hello. The attention of the person at the reception was not the best. The room was in good condition except for the bathroom door which was broken with a blow. When I couldn't find the TV remote control I spoke to reception and they told me that if I wanted I could go to reception for it. Very bad taste, arriving at your room tired and being asked to return to the reception.

Great place to stay very helpful staff and the rooms were very clean. The front desk was very nice and respectful. The girl working the front desk (karissa) was very nice and helping me get a ride to the local store. It was a pleasant stay and a great price.
