Motel 6

Los Alamos

Usually a Motel 6 is nothing special but clean, "serviceable," and adequate for a night's rest, but this one was dirty, tired, and badly needed work. For instance, the sheets were really old and paper thin, the carpets and bedspreads were dirty, and even the old, cracked toilet seat had seen better days. I figured in an upper middle class town like Los Alamos all of the motels would meet some minimum standard. 

Dirty and Tired

After having reservations for over a month in advance, i arrive to find the property is being gutted and not in operation.  It seems they forgot to notify me about this "issue" with my reservation.  The only employee at the property denied any reservations until I showed her the printed confirmation and then was clueless to try and help.  Calling the 800 number left me on indefinate hold waiting for a representative.  Wound up finding one of the last rooms in a neighboring town at $100/night more than planned.  After flying across the nation, i had no choice.  
To be honest, demolition of this place is probably a good thing.  It probably deserves a complete tear down, not a rennovation.  From the outside the building is rundown and creepy.  Now i know why the promo photos only show interior shots.  My eventual calls to motel 6 corporate wound up with an official "sorry, we goofed" excuse.  Lesson learned.  "Tom, don't leave a light on.  I'll never be back."

Lower than one star

Decent size room, ours appeared clean. Ok for a night since the price was right.
Wi-Fi was spotty. They "ran out" of coffee which was poor since it's the only thing available in the morning (no breakfast) Ice machine was broken & still broken 3 days later when we returned. Pavement seems to need replacement. Girls at front desk were nice

Ok for a night if you just need a bed & shower

This was a nice place for a one night stay. The bed was very comfortable. However, there is no coffee in the room and the water system was really awful. If you need a shower, go somewhere else. It is a motel that needs more than remodeling though.

Comfortable for the Price

The size of the rooms, the fridge, microwave and the 2 Queen beds persuaded us to stay here and we were comfortable enough. At half the price of Comfort Inn, it was the best choice in a limited range of options. But  come on, Motel 6, surely you can vacuum the rooms and halls, and fix the window cracked right across and ready to fall out. The stained mattresses could be covered or removed. I realise the stains on the carpet and in the bath would be harder to deal to. The rubble in the parking lot could be taken away and it wouldn't be too hard to clear some car parks for guests out front. A little effort would go a long way to bringing this sub-standard worse-than-3rd-world motel up to scratch.
