Motel 6

Have stayed here before and will stay again, always had a clean room and friendly service at the front desk.

Recently renovated, if all you need is a shower and a bed at a cheap price, this place is pretty ok. Yeah, this part of town has always been kinda sketchy and there are some «interesting» people that stay, but it was quiet. I wouldn’t bring my family here but I’ll likely stay here again because it’s relatively cheap compared to other hotels in town. Normally I’d say you get what you pay for with a Motel 6, but I think it was a good value.

I had 11 days of night shoots in Palmdale and had to stay at the motel 6, thankfully I didn’t have to pay for it. The service at the front desk was great but between the late night hookers that troll around and the leaf blowers that seem to run all day, this place is miserable. It feels like housekeeping has picked my specific room to yell back and forth to each other. Even as my tired fingers type the leaf blower is running and has been for the past hour… they’re can’t possibly be that many leaves next to my room. My favorite part so far is the 7 channels they have on tv and half of which are ESPN. They charge three bucks a day for Internet that doesn’t properly… but to be fair, what can one expect from a motel 6 Palmdale.

I’ve stayed here before and it was gross, a typical motel 6. However this time around the motel is under renovations and the renovated rooms are awesome! Of course this is the Sheraton, it’s a budget motel but for the price and the great remodeled rooms it’s well worth the price. As I said before, the motel is currently under renovation so half of the rooms are still pretty yuck and run down. I asked for a room with fridge and microwave and I believe it was an extra $ 3.95 a day but I so don’t mind considering how nice the room is. Friendly front desk staff (Justin is awesome!), 32′ flat screen tv’s, very comfortable beds and bedding, laundry room, pool. I will add pictures to my review after house keeping comes. The only thing I don’t like are the people hanging around but honestly I’m not complaining too much because it is a budget motel and this isn’t my residence. Also, im guessing due to the renovations all of the vending machines and ice machines are out of order (unplugged) and lined up in a hallway, but I’m sure this is temporary and besides there’s a gas station less than 2 minutes walking distance that you can go to for ice or late night snacks.

Haiku motel review:
Literally hell /​/​
Would rather sleep in my car /​/​
Rank stenches linger
Imagine you’re staying at a nice, quaint hotel in Silent Hill. You suddenly hear the ominous tornado sirens and the room begins to peel away in dark black flakes. This Motel 6 is the hell version that lies underneath.
When I arrived at the motel there were guys hanging outside the second floor patio right outside my room. They stood there and watched me bring in all my work equipment. Cops patrolled through the parking lot. My room smelled like badly burnt sugar, and the bathroom smelled as though it was receiving faint odors from a far away septic tank. Peel back the pillow cases; I dare you. I would have rather slept in my car.
The wifi was an extra $ 2.99/day. Usually I include a photo of the wifi speed at any given hotel, but I can’t here because it literally didn’t work. Took about 15 minutes to load «google​.com».
I generally don’t have a problem with cheaper hotels, but I would avoid this one at all costs.

There are several other places that are cheaper, nicer and have your needs in mind, to stay rather than this place. The father of my unborn baby made reservations for us to stay here and when I arrived they would not let me go to the room because it was under his credit card and not mine. I have not been able to make things happen going through this pregnancy. However, having to wait outside in my car for 3 hours, which is very uncomfortable for a pregnant woman before he arrived just to check in, is ludicrous!!! The woman Tammy at the front said she was just following policy and that she had to keep a guy with a heart condition waiting out in the cold too.
People, there are other hotels that have the customers needs in mind and Motel 6 is NOT one of them! Found out the place right across the street was $ 10 cheaper per night and waaaaay nicer!

The room is small. It’s a non smoking room and it smells like cigerettes. Sketchy people walking in the parking lot. I don’t really feel safe here. We might end up checking out early.

When I first arrived for my one night stay from Saturday to Sunday a lot of rooms were not ready, there was a soccer tournament going on (national I heard) and if you didn’t have a reservation you were not getting a room, walk-​ins were somewhat given the option to wait 45 mins to see what might happen.
Paid for my reservation at 3pm and didn’t actually pick up my room key until 10pm, even at that hour they gave me the option to a non-​smoking or smoking room.
Room was on the first floor behind their pool and had basic accommodations, nothing fancy, you have to remember you’re only paying around $ 50 a night. Old school TV and the bed was comfortable, most of all the room was clean and the shower was great, hot & refreshing.
Had a good night sleep and felt safe staying here. They have security and a very well lit parking lot.
Will stay here again.

Stayed here, as we were headed for Mammoth Lakes. Non smoking room, smelled like cigarettes, B. O. and pot. The furniture was thrashed, toilet was loose, and the sheets were questionable. I slept on my sleeping bag. There was a fight in the parking lot, and two in rooms near ours. It is Not a place you ever want to stay.

N. 1 I don’t think that the negative review should have been filtered. The person writing it did not seem to be «ranting and raving». It was negative, so suck it up. That said, I have been here a number of times because I travel a lot along this corridor and I love Motel 6 in general. Because it’s a motel, and I want to have my car outside of my door, and I also like the old school aspects of it. I have stayed in the best hotels in the world so it’s not like I haven’t ever been able to choose. Sometimes it’s just cool to traipse around in your sweats and slippers and watch TV and walk over to the fast food joint, in this case Del Taco. I travel with a big black rottweiler mix dog so I don’t worry too much about the meth-​heads… Getting to the motel… some stays are good, some are less (right now I have some meth-​heads in the room next to me so it gets a little noisy late in the evening), but I have to say, for l $ 30 it’s great. The room is bigger than many «pensione“s I’ve been in Tuscany, the bathroom is clean, the TV works and there’s hot coffee in the morning at the desk. The heat works, and me and my dawg are happy. I recommend it. But keep in mind, it’s a MOTEL. The Ritz it ain’t. And the management has been very accommodating for the little glitches. The WiFi you pay for and is slow. I would also bring your own bath towel if you like big ones.

THIS motel 6 was kind of shitty, maybe its because ive been to more comfy motels, but this one was a little questionable.

I was really hesitant to give this Motel 6 2 stars but the service ended up being pretty accommodating. This locations is a bit off the main strip of the friendlier part of Palmdale, so be ready to see a fair share of meth heads, homeless folk, and others you may not want to catch alone in a dark alley.
The rooms are small and even the non smoking rooms smell like someone’s been chain smoking in there, but what do you expect for $ 43 a night, right? Everything seemed clean and the bathrooms were a good size with a decent shower. For some reason, the room keys kept deactivating so that’s a big inconvenience. I went to the night desk to get a new key only to have to wait in a line 5 deep with patrons who had the same problem.
Where they will get my praise is for their flexible accommodating for my softball team. We had 10 rooms reserved for the night while in town for a tournament and they were very helpful in setting us up, and even gave us a group discount.
I’m not sure if I’d ever go back, but if I’m ever in Palmdale and in a pinch for cash (let’s hope that never happens), I wouldn’t mind staying here again.
