We made reservations at this Motel 6 because most of the other motels in the area were booked (mid-August). The price was exorbitant: over $200 (with AARP discount). It's just a basic motel. The room was clean and huge! Enough to throw a party for 20 people (though we didn't)! It did reek of bleach (I guess a sanitized room is a good thing). We had a fridge, micro and two large beds. However, there was no AC! Just a Cadet wall heater. So we opened the windows to cool the room, though I had to close them that night due to parking lot noise. It's in a weird, uninviting, industrial-like area. Definitely over-priced for what you get.
Horrifying experience. Neighborhood seemed sketchy, but I tried to ignore that since two people had told me this was a safe place to stay for families on a budget. Checked in and walked to our room, hall smelled strongly of pot, and there were people screaming at each other in a room three doors down from us. The room was grungy (perhaps they should rent these rooms by the hour instead??) but beyond the (excessively) run-down facility, the floor had loose change and other debris under the beds, and there was dried/old urine on the toilet. Since my children had come straight from the beach and were soaking wet and freezing, I needed to get them showered and into dry clothes quickly. I asked for a cleaner room. (Should have just left immediately, but I needed to get my kids taken care of.) Room number two was marginally less offensive than room one (as in, no visible urine on the toilet, but was still in horrifying condition). While my kids got the sand off in the shower and changed to dry clothes, I started calling other hotels. Sea Gypsy had a room available and gave us a fantastic rate when I explained the situation I was in, in an unsafe place with three kids in tow. I've never been so thankful to get out of a motel in my life. Lost money for the night, but counting ourselves ahead.
Rude and terrible customer service!! They told me that m\they didnt' have room available for me and it was the 3d party's fault (Expedia's) I have been booking hotels with Expedia for years all aver the world and have never had any issues... until I came across this property. I have paid for the room in full prior to my arrival... the front desk attendant was very rude and told me that their phone lines were down and maybe will be fixed in 2 days... what??? He also refused to give me his last name.. What kind of place is this?
Clean rooms, polite staff and close to the beach and the Oregon coast Aquarium. Not to mention Rogue brewery and distillery within walking distance. Pet friendly too. If you want a destination resort, this is not the place. If you want a clean place to rest after a day of exploring, this is the place!
This motel is disgusting. The room was not clean looking. The paint was chipped, Formica laminate was about off in front of the sink, a little glue would fix it. The room shakes when somebody’s door closes. There is light coming in around the door when it is closed. The furniture is cheap with paper-thin printed surface that is gouged and the corners smashed. The chair is molded plastic. All that is offered in the morning is coffee with plastic creamer. The lobby is shabby. I had forgotten how bad motel 6 is and this was bad. It is located in a tourist area. Why so bad? Advice: stay somewhere else!
