What guests think

At Motel 6-Bernalillo, NM, travelers highlight very low prices and pet-friendly policies but report recurring problems with cleanliness, maintenance, and noise, creating a mixed experience that ranges from acceptable for a brief stop to uncomfortable.

Some guests found friendly staff, spacious rooms, and well-lit parking. Many others reported bugs and odors, hard beds, thin walls, and frequent maintenance failures such as faulty AC or heating, weak or no hot water, and broken ice or vending machines. Service feels inconsistent, with absent or unhelpful front-desk coverage, and lobby coffee or basic amenities often unavailable; several reviews also noted security concerns and late-night disturbances. Expect a very basic, no-frills stop best for short stays.

I didn’t like that the handicap accessible doors weren’t working. They advertised that there are fridges and microwaves in every room there was not one in our room . I am diabetic and need to keep insulin cold and when I went to the ice machine it was broken. I had to tell them I needed ice for my insulin and the machine was fixed. But only after making that statement.

McDonalds and other fast food very close driving distance. Only negative was the remote which did not control the TV which had to be turned on and off manually.

No hot water, boiler broke down early in the day, and couldn’t get it fixed. The motel shouldn’t be taking reservations if the boiler was broken. We had an ice bucket, but the ice machine didn’t work. I didn’t sit on the couch in our room, because it looked like a pack of lions took residence on it, it was shredded. The carpet in the hallways had so much spray on it, you could hardly breathe as you are walking down it. Water all over in the laundry room, so the staff were trying to clean it up with a wet vac until 10:45pm. It was hard to get any sleep. It’s not like the vacuum was the only thing affecting our sleep. The bed was hard a rock, and the pillows were horrible.

The room and a lizard and many bugs in the room. Our room was located next to a side door to the hotel and the card reader to the door was broken. The hotel staff approved of just sticking a rock there and so the hotel was not secure. Anyone could come in and out. It was a sketch area for sure. The door hitting the rock all night made sure we got no sleep. Wires for the tv were a mess and just everywhere. I only looked at this hotel because it was on my route and pet friendly. However, I would advise anyone from staying here unless they make some serious changes.

To get to the property to find out at check in they require a 50$ deposit to stay…and be informed that their Wi-Fi didnt work. So no Wi-Fi for us to use as a customer and no Wi-Fi for them to charge a card. So had to go to an ATM to get cash for this deposit. Very inconvenient to go get cash and ridiculous that I needed the Wi-Fi that was advertised as a feature of the hotel, yet they didn’t have it.

Sketchy place. Some guys were taking stuff from the window from the room to their truck. The young girl at front desk didn’t say a word while checking in. She didn’t seem like she cared either about the guys entering through the window. The room was filthy. Black long hairs all over. The sheets and bedding were dirty. Floor was full of dirt/crumbs. Sink wasn’t clean. Toilet was disgusting. You can hear EVERYTHING from the people staying next to us or in the hallways. Wouldn’t stay here again.

This was the equivalent of staying in a haunted crack house. The light flickered, the stairs and halls were covered in all kinds of stains, everything smelled like a mix of cigarettes and stale feet. The water fountains sprayed directly up in the air. If I was trying to design the perfect place to film the next Saw movie I would use this spot as inspiration.

This place was gross. Single rooms are smoking rooms. You can pay extra for a double (non-smoking) room. The stunk of smoke, the bed, sheats and pillows stunk. There were stains and cigarettes burns on the sheets, curtains and table. We killed a cockroach on the wall. O e of the light switches was missing the faceplate and was exposed. There were no lamps on the tables. No blankets, just a thin sheet and smelly, old pillows. The shower was a little wonky but wmthere was hot water and a bar of soap, but no shampoo. Only 2 stars because it had convenient 24 hours check-in and the staff was courteous.

I walked into the bathroom that has no mirror, I saw a roach scrambling up the wall in the tub. One of the bath towels had lipstick. And the mattress was hard. You could tell that they ripped out the carpet because some of it was sticking out from under the wooden cabinet next to the A/C unit. The hallways had an unpleasant smell. Overall, it's a NO for me.

The first room I was given the shower did not drain, curtain would keep opening, tiles were broken in the floor, could not adjust the AC, Windows wouldn't lock, bed cover had a huge burn hole, and the moment I walked in there was an empty cigarette box at my feet plus the adjoining room door you can see under the door clearly. A dog scared the crap out of me barking under it that made my PTSD bad. They changed rooms which was better but not good. The moment I pulled up in my car the owner was running outside yelling at loiterers then the police showed up. Not a good welcome and not a place to stay comfortable. Ice machine was broken but I fixed it by simply turning it off then on but the front desk did nothing. None of the vending machines were operating.

Thirdly, she told me there was a deposit required, which Expedia failed to mention. Lastly, and most importantly, there was NO COFFEE. None, nothing in there room and nothing in the lobby/dining area. Won’t be staying at this location again.

I waited for over 40min for the desk person and called the number for the hotel and no one showed up to check me in so I was so tired from driving that I had to rent another hotel. The lobby was complexly empty (no furniture👀), no personal at the check in front desk, no one answered our calls and random men where getting drunk outside the parking lot which was the point I felt super unsafe. Ppl where showing up to check in and we all waited but like I said I was extremely exhausted from driving it was already past 9pm and I had to find another hotel since I felt so unsafe waiting there.

Our room wasn't ready at the time we checked in, we were supposed to have a fridge/microwave. Wasn't until the next day that they provided one. The ice machine was broke for a day as well during our 3 night stay. I think management needed to be more on top of things. The staff was pleasant and accommodating the best they could. The hotel seemed rundown, although the room itself was adequate for our needs, aside from missing some items. We usually sight-see when we travel, so the hotel is just a place for a clean room and decent bed. Location was right by the highway which was nice and was convenient for gas and fast food.

Check in Attendant was rude. Arrived at 4:30p and was informed the room wasn't ready. Rather than ask the housekeeper who just told him it only needed towels to just deliver them, he turned back and repeated the room wasn't ready. In room, the window had no screen, was left cracked open and wouldn't close all the way to lock. The light switches were located on the wall directly behind a bed where a headboard should be. If you propped a pillow against you could turn lights off and on. Nothing but 1 bar of handsoap in the bathroom. In the morning the breakfast area had nothing - missing coffee pot, not even a prepackaged muffin.

Was told coffee would be ready at 0700… that seemed kind of late, but whatever. At 0707 I went down to lobby and no coffee was made. I checked with on duty staff and he said that the manager wasn’t here yet so once she got there the coffee would be made. He said she should be there in 15 minutes. At 0745 I came back to lobby and no coffee…I once again woke up the on duty staff and asked what was up with the coffee. He said that he doesn’t know how to make the coffee and the manager would do it. I said making coffee is not hard and he walked over to the coffee maker and opened a draw which had cream and sugar in it. I opened a cabinet and it had the coffee and filters in it. I then proceeded to make the coffee myself which was poured into one of those pump type carafes. Once the coffee started amazingly a female came out of a door and rearranged the carafes orientation. This is an inexpensive hotel so not a lot of thrills- understandable! However, if you advertise that there will be coffee…then have coffee. The night before we stayed at an even cheaper hotel…no coffee promised and none delivered…it was perfect just as promised.
