Ants and no lights

Motel 6 has been better than this. I’m not that picky with hotels because it’s usually just a place to stay and leave. There were no working or bright lights in the room, it hasn’t been cleaned in who knows how many uses and when you have a closer look, there were ants everywhere. I did not even get to the bathroom or check the beds so I’m not sure if there were bedbugs or not. I asked for another room and they were not able to give me another one. I asked for a refund and they said no. This has been the worst hotel I have ever been to and it frustrates me that even when the hotel is at fault for a filthy room, they still won’t accept a refund. I will not be returning. I wish I would have taken some pictures of the ridiculousness.

No Frills, but covers the basics

No frills, just a clean room w/ microwave oven, fridge, TV, and Wifi. Beds were very comfortable. Easy walk to TRAX station or downtown. Adequate parking.

This place was a night mare to stay at. We only stayed there for about 5 hours because we had to catch a red eye flight. The room was gross, the bathroom was gross, there was holes in the wall every where. We ended up staying in our car and loosing the money we paid for the hotel room. It was too late to cancel the room. When we got to the front desk, the person in charge was asleep on the couch in the little lobby area. When we went to check out, the guy was in the same place with the doors locked. I would definitely NEVER recommend anyone to stay here and will never stay here again.

Don’t stay here!!

When checking inn it was very hard to understand the person behind the counter due to his very thick accent. I was unaware of the $100 cash only deposit required and upon trying to go to the assigned room on the second floor it was discovered that the elevator was broken so my wife being handicapped could not get to the room. They were able to give us a bottom floor room that initially appeared to be okay but with further inspection we saw ants on the floor and a hole in the bathtub. The floor was dirty as well as marks on the walls and a missing picture on the wall but at least the frame was there. The beds where extremely hard and the lighting in the room was absolutely horrible finally inc the morning to get the cash deposit back they do a physical room inspection before you get it back so if you are in the Salt Lake City area and need a hotel I would away from this place it was horrible

I cannot recommend staying here, even at a low price. The room was noticeable dirty, the area was unsafe and the room had an odor. They also require a cash deposit and are extremely rude.

The bathroom had no heat it was freezing. We arrived at the hotel at night and the front desk staff unlocked the door and locked it right away. I asked if it was a safe area and he wavered his hands. The outside entrance was dirty. The staff said police drive by often. They had signs if u have a guest they have to leave by 8 pm. I had a two night stay and left a day early even though the second night was non refundable

Easy to find. We all know about cash deposit (with lobby ATM): its gd because you don't have to wait for something to deposit into card. Bad because its easily forgotten. They had a smoke alarm that needed servicing: chirping every minute
