Studio 6 Suites Vancouver WA Waterfront

TLDR: I recommend it as an inexpensive, relatively clean downtown stay. Pros: The room was generally clean and the location is very good (easy walk to downtown core and the terrific weekend farmers’ market). It was cheap and no fee for the dog! Cons: I was told at check-in that I had selected a smoking room (I’m positive I wouldn’t “select” one) and to avoid it, I needed to upgrade my room for, like, $13 or some nominal fee. They also have a big, mostly empty lot, yet charge for parking. Finally, stains/burn holes in the bedspread (in my slightly more expensive nonsmoking room).

Please note that the WiFi here is terrible! It’s nonexistent. So if you need good WiFi you’ll need to stay elsewhere. I travel for work and have stayed at a lot of Motel 6 properties all over the country because of the cost and pets stay free at most locations. I’ve stayed at this property 2-3 times. It’s clean, fairly quiet and safe. Parking spaces fill up quickly as it appeared as if there were a number of permanent residents staying there. No housekeepers knocking on your door on a daily basis. There’s lots of restaurants and a convenience store within walking distance. Esther Short park and the waterfront are a few blocks away and there is often a lot happening in the summer such as outdoor concerts. I had an issue with my door not closing unless I was in the room with the dead bolt engaged. I was told I’d have to wait like two days for maintenance. And then I asked for additional time to check out because I was changing hotels and traveling with a pet. The manager/owner told me I could have until 1130. But then he was literally knocking at my door 1115 asking why I hadn’t left yet. I He was very rude and for that reason, I will never stay here again.

It was clean

Nice and clean room and recently remodeled so it was lovely. The bed was very comfortable and our stay was awesome! Shout out to Michael at the front desk for excellent customer service.

Property is older and in a good location for downtown. The room was clean but the smell was pretty bad. Maybe it was a former smoking room they tried to cover up?
