    Typical run of the mill Motel 6.  I made a reservation and my room was available when I checked in.  Room was clean, but nothing special.  My only real complaint was there is only a single ice machine and it's located at the front of the motel.  Naturally, my room was on the polar opposite.  Took a good 15-minutes of walking around before I found it.

    One little tip, it appears this Motel 6 places a $500 hold charge on your credit card and it takes several days to clear.  Just know that your card will have to absorb that until it's released.

    A place to crash

    We rolled up around 3am and just needed a quick place to pick.  Everywhere was booked because of something happening around town.  This was the only place to with reservations.  WE WONDER WHY...

    The floor looked filthy.  There was a sock near our bed.  The shower did not have a large enough shower curtain so water leaked all over the floor.  There was no blow dryer, iron, shampoo and conditioner, cable nor free wi-fi.  They really have nothing.  It was just a place to crash if you must.

    The upside of this place was that they allowed our pooch to stay for the night and their late check out was 12:30pm.  For our 1 night, the total was almost $70.  Very not worth it.  Left and got a room at the Hampton in Windsor.

    OK, the room was 50 bucks, so I guess you get what you pay for.
    The room was fine, but the water pressure in the sink was nil, while the shower had riot-control level pressure.
    Definitely go to the front lobby for coffee in the morning. What's that taste? The worst coffee in the world, that's what! Now, no matter where you go in  the world, when you get served terrible coffee, you can reflect on Motel 6 coffee and realize you have it pretty good.

    If it was your average Motel 6, I would give a solid 3-stars.  Unfortunately, the reservation desk didn't have my correct reservation, the room still had some remnants of construction and there were some rednecks next door making a racket.  Doesn't staff know to separate them from the general population?

    My husband and I attended a show at The Phoenix Theater and booked a room at Motel 6 for the night.

    We checked in that afternoon and were told that there were only smoking rooms left, despite the fact that we had reserved a non-smoking room several days earlier. We were also told, "You might want to keep your shoes on in the room, the carpet is wet." It had just been freshly "cleaned". As you can imagine with the combination of cigarette stench and wet carpet, the room smelled horrible. Plus the window was broken and would not open more than 6 inches. Although not worth $77, the room would have to do since there were no rooms left in Petaluma at this point.

    We had friends from all over the Bay Area meeting up for this show, and we had them meet up at our hotel room. For a total of 45 minutes , between 6:30-7:30pm we had 6 people in our room and then we prepared to leave in a Taxi.

    As we waited in the parking lot for our Cab, we noticed a Motel employee acting very suspicious around the rooms below ours. I watched him put his hand on the door handle of one of the rooms and look over his shoulder, as if to see if anyone was looking. I was looking. We made eye contact for several seconds and the guy had this deer-in-the-headlights look as he looked at me. He decided not to go into the room after all, and walked around stalling. As our taxi pulled up, he went up the stairs and went into the room next to ours. We had the driver wait for a minute to see what he was doing. He came out of the room and just as our taxi was pulling out f the driveay he went into our hotel room! We were shocked!
    We had the driver make a U-Turn and pull back in. My husband confronted the man who had immediately left the room after the taxi turned around, and was all the way around the building. The man said, "I don't know, she just told me to go in there." My husband requested that they speak with management together.

    We went into the office and were told by management that there had been "several" complaints about noise coming from our room and that they were investigating the complaint. She claimed that she had attempted to call our room several times and got no answer. I had been in the room the entire time since we checked in and there the phone had not rang once.
    We asked them why the employee had not said anything to us while waiting for our taxi, instead of waiting until we drove out of the parking lot before going in the room. She said, very sarcastically, "Are you wearing a sign that says what room you are in?" No we weren't. But my husband had stood outside of the room and spoke with the man earlier in the afternoon, asking questions about where the theater was located.
    The manager immediately told us she would be giving us a full refund and that we would not be staying in the room anymore. By that time we did not feel safe staying in the room anyway, wondering whether or not our posessions would be safe there.

    I have never been treated as badly as I was at this Motel and I will never be returning there. I have already contacted corporate and am waiting for a reply so I can file a formal complaint.

    I've stayed in this place at least once a year for the last six years. This year, after two nights of misery, I checked out and headed over to the Quality Inn a few hundred feet away. No such thing as a non-smoking room... they ALL reek. The beds are made of old books or cardboard or something. Mold and mildew everywhere. Walls are paper-thin... you hear EVERYTHING your neighbors are doing. The staff try, but they're probably being paid crap and really aren't given much of an incentive to do much for anyone else. Unless you're deaf, a heavy smoker, and can sleep on wooden surfaces, do yourself a favor and give this pit a pass.
