  How did this place get a rating over 3??

  The staff was super nice. The outside of the hotel was nice, but that’s where it ended. There was a smell that permeated the entire hotel…a musty, sweaty, dirty smell. It was in the room! The room was seemingly clean, but that musty, dank and dirty smell was everywhere. I actually didn’t realize how bad it was until I had been driving for about an hour and realized the smell was all over me! I had a shower before going to bed and felt clean and smelled fine. But after sleeping in the bed, the stank was all over me. I have never been so thankful for a shower when I got home. Motel 6 is a budget hotel I realize, but I’ve always have had great experiences. Always clean and for the most part, a comfy, quick stop on my travels. The Sutherlin one didn’t hit the mark.

  HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE – MOTEL 6 SUTHERLIN, OR – NEVER AGAIN

  We showed up at 2AM—me, my wife, and our two kids. My wife was in tears, just desperate to sleep. The moment we walked in, the room was clearly dirty: trash still in the can, floor not swept—but at 2AM, getting my wife into a bed took priority over anything else. When the sun came up, we saw it all. Used sheets. No clean towels. Hairballs and debris on the floor. Overflowing trash. A used menstrual pad on the floor. Yes. A used pad. In the room we were supposed to sleep in. I grabbed my family and got the hell out. I showed the front desk employee the mess. He agreed it was disgusting. Gave me half my money back and promised the manager would call. Guess what? No one ever called. Shame on you, Motel 6. This is not just bad hospitality—it’s neglect. It’s a health hazard. It’s traumatizing when your exhausted wife is in tears and this is what you hand her at 2 in the morning. You owe us more than a refund. You owe every guest better than this. Photos attached. Avoid this location at all costs. #Motel6 #SutherlinOR #Motel6Fail #DisgustingHotel #HealthHazard #FamilyTravelNightmare

  Thank You!

  Unexpected stay due to Mechanical Issues with the Vehicle with my Dogs. The lady in the office was Nice & willing to make exception for the Extra Dog due to my circumstance & needed to wait till the next day to get the Vehicle back on the Road. It was very appreciated. They had a small fenced in area for the Dogs as well.

  Clean but small stay off I-5, crazy shower

  Trip of a lifetime, flying commercial for the first time from Kansas to cover the Diamond League finals/Pre Classic in Eugene an hour away. Trying to save money, picked a spot down the road in Sutherlin. Not the worst drive to and fro Eugene. I stayed three nights at this location. Gal who checked me in was very friendly and chatty. Walked into room a bit surprised at how small it was with no fridge or microwave. Went back to make sure I was in correct room and I guess I was. Normally, I'm big on those two amenities, esp on an extended stay. But I'm also easy to get along with. I adjusted to the lack of those two items (plus the gal at the desk said I could use theirs if needed) and the small size of the room. Practically, it appeared quite clean. Maybe my first non-carpeted hotel so that was a shock and added to a bit of an industrial feel, but I got used to it and didn't mind at all. TV kind of junky...believe internet based so it was never super clear. But wi-fi worked quite well for my laptop's browsing and uploading purposes. Bed was clean and comfortable. The kicker of this place was the shower. I've read how FDR installed this crazy hot and powerful shower after JFK was killed. FDR had nothing on this place. Seriously, I can't imagine an older person getting in. At 41 and relatively fit, I enjoyed the tremendous force of the shower though I was a little scared to let it hit my face at first. Seriously, you basically have to steady yourself. Awesome if you like it, probably a serious negative if you can't take it. Enjoyed the location. Right off I-5 so easy access but it almost shares a lot with a non-chain restaurant. A property over is a Burger King, and half a mile away is a McDonalds. Down the road a touch further are other options. Was a homeless guy of sorts kicking around between property and BK but I walked by him with ice cream and a bag of food and he gave no bother. Seriously, a bad 3-night stay really could have detracted from by bucket list trip. Would have loved a bigger room and the fridge and microwave but no complaints here. That crazy shower and my evening walks to BK helped cement the legacy of this trip in my mind.

  Very nice Motel 6 - fenced pet area!

  Very nice 3-story building with indoor hallways and elevator, used to be Microtel. The 1 queen room is very small, 2 queens is much bigger. Spotlessly clean, no bugs, bathtub, laminate floors. Micro/fridge are available for about $7 more, or $10 more in 2 bed rooms. Fridge has no freezer. No pet fee, and a fenced pet area! Front desk staff very friendly and helpful. Good restaurant next door (sign says 24/7 but they close at 8 pm). Coffee/hot water in lobby. Good wifi. No pool. Be sure to ask for any discounts when reserving. In the past, they overcharged me by about $9 over reservation price when I asked for AARP discount at the hotel. They charged me for a room upgrade charge for the same level room as my original reservation. Hotel staff could not fix it. It was a big hassle to fix it through the 800#.
