What guests think

Reviews of Motel 6-Phoenix, AZ - East paint a budget property with widely mixed experiences, ranging from basic stays with helpful staff to numerous complaints about poor conditions and issues that disrupted comfort and safety.

Many note dirty bathrooms and rooms, stained or burned linens, hair, mold, and pests such as roaches; a few even report blood or fecal matter. Recurring problems include little or no hot water, broken or missing fixtures and locks, nonworking TVs and lights, and Wi‑Fi outages. Service is mixed—some staff are friendly and accommodating, while others are unhelpful—and the area feels sketchy to several guests despite being convenient to Papago Park, the zoo, and major roads. Expect a low-cost stay with significant trade‑offs in upkeep and reliability.

Upon arrival staff seemed bothered. Then the room was horrible. Stains on the sheets and bed. Stains on the furniture. Drug addicts everywhere. Ice machine didn't work. Beds were super old and uncomfortable. Just a really bad experience overall. Don't stay here unless you absolutely have no option.

1st room: Sink did not work, shower leaked. 2nd room: Toilet did not work-had to be fixed, sink faucet was not bolted down, the smoke detector had to have its battery replaced - it was beeping, mold in the shower. Homeless people wandering through the parking lot - lot not secure. The old homeless were not dangerous, just annoying to see.

A lot of things didn’t work, like the shower knob, and there was no hot water. Dirty tub and shower curtain, dirty sheets, it smelled. The hanging rod in the bathroom broke and fell on a sink, there were cockroaches coming from under the bath tub, I killed a couple. Sheets were stained, I decided to sleep in my sleeping bag. I have always loved staying in Motel 6, but this one was the worst ever

Room was destroyed, everything was broken, nothing was clean, a lot of black mold all over. The lid to the toilet tank was cracked in half, toilet seat was ruined. All towel racks were pulled out of the wall. Cigarette burns in the tub. Broken window. Sheets were stained. Black mold in the entire window frame. Should be reported to the health department. The rooms are not rentable.

This place was filthy - here are a few examples: 1 - curtain on window looked like a paint dropcloth with stains all over it 2 - one of the beds had sheets with what looked like huge bloodstains on them 3 - shower floor was dirty 4 - water barely came out of sink 5 - sink drain was clogged with hair and other disgusting stuff 6 - air conditioning vent had random pieces of styrofoam stuck in it Beyond those things the general feeling was complete disgust, old, dirty, etc. We stayed there knowing it had poor reviews only because it was inexpensive compared to other hotels in the area and we only needed to sleep there before getting on a plane. I would never take a shower there. My kids wouldn't even brush their teeth there. Really gross.

Was cold all night and heater did not work. Would have moved to another hotel but was late and we weren't picking up rental car til next morning. Old and rundown hotel with a lot of disrepair.

Old motel needs to be remodeled. 1. floor was dirty, swept but not mopped. My feet were filthy just walking around the room. 2. Desk had no plug. I had to unplug the fridge to use for my laptop. 3. Only 2 towels, no wash cloths or soap or shampoo. Had to use one towel as a floor mat for the shower. Used it to walk around to keep my feet clean. 4. Shower had black over many tiles, several tiles had buckled and I'm sure were leaking water into the wall. 5. Luke warm water, after 15 minutes of waiting I just took a warm shower. 6. Faucet leaked. 7. Free Wifi didn't work and they had no idea when it would be up. No discount for that. 8. No phone in the room. If I had a problem, which I did, I would have to go to the office. Now for the good. 1. It was cheap. 2. Bed was clean. 3. Heater worked fine and quickly. My advice, pay a little more and stay somewhere else.

The location was great for a morning run at Papago Park, but the condition of the room was not great. Beds were really uncomfortable, tub was dirty, the lights by the sink didn't work and the mirror was smashed. But, not a bad place to stay for one night and then being able to easily get on the highway.

I had a very nice stay at your motel. The staff was supportive and efficient. The room was clean and adequate. The water had to be shut off the morning of Oct 22. I was not notified ahead of time of this outage, or even after it started. Fortunately, I had finished my shower just a few minutes earlier. Keep yourself customers informed, please.

I couldn’t even get to stay at the property. I booked the at the property weeks in advance but when I got there, they told me that all reservations were full and their rooms were sold out. I even showed them my confirmation number but the staff claimed it was a “glitch.” Never got my refund and had to spend extra money somewhere else.

I've seen okay and bad Motel 6s, when I arrived I knew this one was bad by observing the exterior. When I checked in, I was told the wrong room, and when trying to open the wrong room door, I was met by a man in his underwear. In my room, the bed had hair in the sheets as well as a brown stain. I slept in my jeans on top of the covers. The shower pipes were protruding from the wall, and the tub stained purple. The sign on the door telling me to lock the deadbolt and the chain did not bring comfort. The TV was cracked, lamp shade torn, table trim stripped off, and dirt in every corner. I was woken up at all hours of the night by people shouting on the balcony, motorcycles riding and parking on the sidewalk next to the doors, and several people having regular conversations outside my door at 2am. I booked this stay as it was $60/night compared to $120. I thought I was saving $60, instead I felt as if I wasted it. I would have felt safer and slept better if I parked in a random residential and slept in my car.

This was the worst motel I've ever stayed in. When I checked in, there were no towels or washcloths in the room. I called the front desk, it was around 9 p.m., and the guy said "Oh. I'll bring some in the morning." I said "No, I want to shower tonight." I had to go to the front desk and pick them up myself. There was one towel and one washcloth. I asked for a second towel, and the clerk made a face and reluctantly gave me a second towel. The. I went back to my room to shower, and there was no hot water. I called the front desk again, and the clerk said "There's no hot water? You'll have to wait until morning." When morning came, guess what? Still no water. This Motel 6 is abysmal, and so is Expedia for selling me the booking to this dump. I wasn't expecting luxury from a Motel 6, but towels and hot water are not unreasonable expectations. You are apparently horrible at vetting your lodging offerings. You sold me pathetic lodging.
