Despite the surprisingly decent ratings on this site, our stay at the Motel 6 in North Palm Springs was an absolute disappointment. The staff had noticeably poor attitudes from the moment we checked in, offering little more than curt responses and an overall sense that guests were an inconvenience.
The facilities themselves were dingy, run down, and in serious need of attention. The smell of marijuana hung in the air outside the rooms, which did nothing to improve the already uncomfortable atmosphere. Inside, things weren’t any better. The towels provided were stained with brown patches, and the bed was one of the worst I’ve ever slept on with springs poking through the mattress and loud creaking with the slightest movement made it nearly impossible to get any rest. To make matters worse, when we looked under the bed, we found a thick layer of dust and cobwebs that made it very clear the room hadn’t been cleaned properly.
The toilet barely functioned, requiring three flushes just to get anything down, and even then it felt like it might overflow. Outside, the parking lot was poorly lit and didn’t feel secure. At one point, we noticed a vagrant who appeared to be living out of his car, which only added to our discomfort.
All in all, this property was a total letdown. We will not be staying here again. Save your money and go somewhere that feels cleaner, better maintained, and above all, safer.
