Motel 6 Bakersfield

I was skeptical of the 50 dollar deposit. Due to the fact that they are the only Motel 6 in my city out of 5 properties who ask for one. Of which the desk clerk was insistent of to be fair to all customers. No exceptions. Then after I withdraw 60 from the ATM he decides 40 is exceptable. The ice machine was a health code violation. For home use maybe at best. Not for commercial use. The ice is exposed when you open the access door and you use a hand held scoop to scoop it into your ice bucket. My room smelled like burnt something. Plastic or electrical wiring. The bathroom and sink lights shorted out when I turned the switches on. The light switches were on the same panel as the outlet plug next to the sink with a GF breaker. (the outlet with a reset and test button in the center of the two electrical outlets) The GFI breaker did not trip when the lights shorted. Im a electrical engineering student and even i know this is not to code.There were holes in my window drapes. When I checked out I was given half my deposit because some of my green aftersun aloe lotion got onto a sheet. The clerk tried to lie when I told him it would wash out when cleaned. He stated, "we do not do that." So they aren't cleaned. He claims it needed to be replaced. Thats a flat out lie. To replace a hotel grade sheet set for a hotel is a few hundred dollars for one set. Not 20. They are made to cleaned several times and do not stain easily. Do not stay here unless you feel like loosing you deposit

Ok

I didn't get to check into my room as I arrived there were cops everywhere and I was unable to check in to room

Stayed here once before. Well-maintained rooms, convenient location and friendly staff. Bed was comfortable, sheets were clean. Only issues were the door was a little loose (did not close tightly) and the floor was dusty. Will definitely book again!
