Toilet kept overflowing and gave excuses not to change my room. There was obvious sewer issues. Said I would just have to deal with it, Also, I mistakenly thought I had one more day on my reservation, staff was incredibly rude and would not let me just extend one more night. I DO NOT recommend this hotel and would never stay here again.

At this Motel 6 Downtown Tucson, the staff were great. The room was clean, but smelled like wet dog when I first moved in. I stayed 9 days and by the end it had subsided. Housekeeping had hidden an air freshener under the bed to mask the wet dog smell; I had to remove it, because I had kittens who might have eaten it, Plus, the air freshener had a strong chemical odor, but it did mask wet dog smell. I did not like they they required a "deep clean" every 3 days, necessitating that I bring my pets (kittens) to my car for a couple hours. When the place was not at full capacity, and less crowded, it was more comfortable, but over a holiday weekend, people would smoke cigarettes outside my door, (I think they were in the room next to me). As other reviews indicate, there is a large gap between the door and the door frame, and a lot of smoke would waft into my room. I asked the guests to please smoke elsewhere; one time they agreed. Another time I asked (nicely), they said they weren't smoking, when I could hear them talking and I had just heard one ask the other for a light and I could smell the smoke! So that was creepy. The pool was immaculate. I easily parked very close to the door of my room, which was great because I was hauling pets and pet supplies. The price was reasonable and I love that there are NO CARPETS. This motel seemed to be a low income area, with many visible homeless people, and I would not have felt safe walking at night alone.

It is a Motel 6 right so do not have high expectations coming here. The place was actually quiet and cleaner than I thought it would be. It is right by the freeway and there was a restaurant within walking distance. I would not mind staying here again.

Our stay at Motel 6

I was going for my birthday and my mom came with me. We brought our two cats. The staff were very helpful when we had questions and when we decided to stay an extra night, they assisted us in how to add an extra night. The hotel mains were very on point and always made sure we had what we needed. All and all, it was a good stay

There's people all through the night walking over there. They never one time come to our room. Even though we told them 3 or 4 times a day. That our commode was leaking very bad from the bottom. Both sinks were leaking and literally when I turned the one on in the the room. That's closest to the ice box. It literally shot water into the toaster.

I liked everything about property and didn't like a host/clerk who could barely speak English, was very obnoxious, arrogant and just outright unpleasant tha whole week we stayed there. She claimed to be a manager on numerous encounters but we're told she was not. I will never forget that she kept referring to us as "GRINGOS" and when my wife confronted her. Her attitude was like too bad I say what I want and doesn't matter who you complain too. We did complain, more than once but she continued her nasty unpleasantries. Oh well, right. Other than that we had a great stay 😄

Customer service was great, housekeeping kept up on trash and changing sheets, but the room stunk of cat urine, I’m allergic to cats. Bought bleach and had to clean the floor boards off you could see the stains, as it gave me the worst migraine. Some homeless people were walking through the cars on a few occasions and didn’t seem to
