Motel 6 Tallahassee, FL - Downtown

I had a deeply disappointing experience at this hotel. The staff\'s conduct was unprofessional and irresponsible. A package delivered to the hotel, signed for by the front desk, was nowhere to be found when I went to collect it. My package was only located after I insisted on confronting the staff member in question, and by then, it had been opened. This raised serious suspicions about the staff\'s integrity, and I am convinced they are engaging in theft. My security deposit, which was supposed to be refunded within a week, was not returned. When I called to inquire, I was told they had "forgotten" to process it. After confirming the refund, I discovered that the transaction was reversed, and I am still waiting for my money. This behavior is nothing short of stealing from guests. The housekeeping service was atrocious. The cleaning staff made excuses to avoid cleaning my room, often lying or pretending not to understand my requests. When they did clean, they were extremely inefficient, frequently taking several days to fulfill basic service requests. They spent most of their time video chatting with friends or family while on the job, which is completely unprofessional. The hotel\'s facilities are in a deplorable state. The swimming pool, laundry machines, and dryers were all out of service during my stay, rendering them entirely unusable. The room I stayed in was infested with cockroaches, and the premises were dirty and poorly maintained, with flies buzzing around everywhere

Totally disgusting , dirty and room smelled . Pool wasnt open , no ice machine , no mini fridge . They do not tidy room or replace towels . Had to ask for towels everyday . Place is gross , shady people everywhere

I actually didn’t stay. I booked the night for a homeless vet. But checking in the lady at the desk was extremely nice and helpful. The number of people outside their rooms was more than comfortable for my own taste but they all seemed to be happy together. There was a lot of construction making the parking lot a bit difficult to maneuver.

Poor customer service. I had to wait until they get done with paper work until I was able to check in. The room didn’t have a fridge or microwave. The pool was great. The outside of the building was not maintained, just dirty with trash piled up in garbage cans. Looks like a crackhead motel.

No pool no wifi Mold

The pool was excellent

The pool looked inviting...excepting that it was padlocked shut. Check-in was smooth...but more door key didn't work, even after 3 times. I had to go to the office to get let in, every time. They were nice about doing it, but what a pain. The bed was OK. There was a 3' table, square, but no chairs. Sitting on the bed to watch TV hurts my back. In the shower, the floor dirt showed up, and after room service Sun PM, there was no clean towel (and the took the previous one) and no floor mat. No refrigerator and both ice machines were broken.

No Wi-Fi no pool mold

I was told not to use the ice machine because it was broken and using it was breaking it more but it worked fine for the 5 days b4 I was told that. Weird…

The hospitality from staff was amazing! The pool was great! Rooms need repairs. Had no hot water to shower.

Sections of this property are not ready to rent out. We were in 2 room opposite of property of each other and I had requested joining rooms. One room was good over all until I found black mold on the shower wall. The other room had broken lamps and found roaches at night. The dumpsters were full of trash and just made the property look worse. I had rented 3 days, but only stayed 1. I would not recommend for families as there was a lot of noise and people on the outside drinking and smoking without shirts on. The staff was excellent and tried to accommodate us. I would not stay there again.

Staff was friendly, easy check-in. Room...yikes. Before staying, saw the mixed reviews and for the price I figured it would be ok. Personally, will never go back. Bathroom smelled like pee, tub is the ugliest thing in my life, as if its 100 years old. Room definitely showed wear and tear. Luckily, the bed was clean and comfortable enough to make it worth it staying or I would have left.

Motel room had no bedding, towels, or trash can. Door latch was barely hanging on wall. Cigarette burns on bathtub and dresser. Most importantly….ROACHES! Not the big palmetto bugs, but German cockroaches. Worst experience I’ve ever had. We left and went to another hotel.

The front desk staff was very nice and apologetic, this is a place I will not stay in again. My first room was dirty and smelled like smoke despite being non-smoking. The curtains were hanging off the rod and there were no chairs around the table. I got another room which still had a slight smoke smell. The dresser was broken as well as the shower curtain rod. There was only one small wooden chair. The bathroom tub was dirty and there were roaches under the tub seal. The TV did not work. I only stayed as all other hotels were sold out for graduation.

It was horrible!! I took a chance on this Motel 6 because it was cheap but I’ll never ever make this mistake again. You get what you pay for. My TV didn’t work and when I called the front desk to let them know, she said she would send someone over. No one came. I saw/killed a total of probably 12 bugs or so - no exaggeration. It was disgusting!!! Shower was also disgusting to the point I wouldn’t even use it.

If you are looking for a cheap motel, here's your place. Depending on what's going on in town, you can book for really cheap. It's close to the Capitol, FSU and FAMU. I got what I paid for. My motel room is outdated and dirty. The bathroom has mold. This property has construction going on so the room I had was most likely next. The staff is very nice and helpful.

There was roaches everywhere the tub had a huge hole in it

Inside the room there were cockroaches, the toilet was very dirty and around the shower there was a black line of dirt, in general everything was dirty.

Dirty pubic hair sheets, cockroaches, flying insects, piss and smoke smell are among the highlights of this property . Oh , wait , when we took a shower , my neighbor one floor down , also took a shower. Property refused to refund our money. We will be reporting them to the health department on Monday .

I would never go back to this place, I have been to many cheap hotels for work reasons and at least they are clean. This place smelled too bad, there were cockroaches, in 4 nights they never changed our towels, the only good thing was the entrance staff

We learned we needed to be in Tallahassee just a few days before our arrival. Unfortunately, due to several large events in the area, most of the hotels were sold out. I was thankful to have a place to stay but somewhat disappointed in the condition. To be fair, the room was clean but there were several things which could have been better. The mattress was super creaky anytime we had to move. While there was only one towel in the bathroom, the shower was nice and hot which was good. The exterior of the property was very well lit which was good because it felt a little sketchy with what I will assume are long time guests of the property. All in all, it was an acceptable stay based on our needs but I would have felt uncomfortable bringing my children to this location. Would I come back? yes...but only as another last resort. The staff was very eager to please which was nice.

It was ok,some of the staff are not friendly but some ok, place looks clean, the TV not working at all the time I was in the room, I reported they said they was working on it,and I was trying to get some rest so I guess it was 👍

It was alright, had tv issues for a while and no working phone that was in the room. No microwave or refrigerator in room.

I arrived at 2:35 p.m., Rose the front desk clerk made it very clear she would not check me in before 3 p.m., I told her fine I would wait. The manager came up at 10 till, she immediately checked me in. The wifi was out, so no tv all night long. The bathroom door looked like it was rotted at the bottom. The recliner and business chair in the room was falling apart. The door was messed and, very hard to open, it did not seal shut, the flip lock was broke. I slide the recliner in front of the door. It took for ever to get hot water for a shower. The second shift lady was much nicer.

Pictures of reserved room was not accurate with what I got. Remote control to tv did not work. Neighbors in rooms played music late night and loud talking conversations. No refrigerator,desk,microwave, just a horrible motel

The Tv, WiFi and room phone didn’t work so I am glad I bought my hotspot box and my iPad for entertainment.

VERY nice staff, starting with Rodrick at check-in, Taye the next morning, the entire staff aims to please, working with what they've got, an older hotel that needs some basic updating. Our room was clean, the beds very comfortable, basic towels for a decent shower (yes, the fixtures are older, like the old shower/tub, but everything was clean, and water good and hot for a nice shower.) When we got to our room, it smelled like cigarette smoke, so I went back to reception and they very nicely gave us another room a couple doors down, and even though it also had an odor, it was more like French fries so we could live with that...the smell never dissipated, though, so we joked that we'd get to our next destination smelling like food. (And the smell got to be a little more like fried fish...but it was ok.) The biggest problem? NO WIFI at all. It was raining heavily when we arrived, continued through the evening, and when I mentioned to Rodrick that we had no WiFi, he said that this happens when it's raining a lot because they have satellite WiFi, understandable. However, the next morning, gorgeous weather, and still no WiFi...so the manager said they've been having trouble with the satellite reception and that a technician would be out soon...since we were only there one night, OK, but if we'd stayed longer or had business, that would have been unacceptable. There are some sketchy characters who seem to be "residents" yelling outside, but that calmed down by 11pm.

When I checked down, there was no key for the door as the door locks were down. There was no TV no Internet.

A/C not adjustable. Set for 66 but was closer to 75. Didn't blow cold air. Tolerable but meh; just made room humid. Lights next to bed were fickle (compact fluorescent). Overpriced but on graduation weekend.

Literally everything was wrong. The TV didn’t work for 10 days. There was no water pressure. The air conditioning unit would not blow warm air. Two of the three outlets for power wouldn’t work. The Wi-Fi was so poor I could not keep a connection. Lastly, I left my phone charger in the room and later in the day I asked if they could check and I was informed that it would have been discarded if room service found it. Absolutely terrible experience.

My Husband was at a nearby hospital and we needed to be close. Roderick was an absolute angel making sure that myself and my daughter had everything we needed. Would recommend to anyone who needs or wants a budget friendly safe place.

They cancelled my reservation before I got there and they didn't let me know and didn't give a reason for the cancellation. Had to find another place to stay

Safe and clean room, Very helpful staff.

Fantastic day time staff. Especially the manager. Id hang out with the staff any time but alas, won’t stay here again. They are changing management and aiming high. I will return if they meet their goals to make it safer. Very thankful for their kindness.

I reserved the double bed room for two the night before and paid for a week...when We got to the hotel the service desk and I assume the desk manager was so busy with her housekeeping people and steady answering the phone that she (Ms. Rosa) took exactly 45 minutes to book us in....everything was pre-paid ..so we didn't understand why she took so long...finally in the room.conditions were bad...roaches...the room was not cleaned.. dried white residue caked in bottom of fridge...debris al in bottom of shower...floors not swept therefore not mopped ...no toilet seat cover...and one pillow was covered in mildew inside of pillow case...due to a raggedy gap at bottom of door when it rained couple of days the inside floor got soaked...overall horrible stay..will not go back there again nor will we recommend friends or family..

The door keys dont work. The clerk will just offer to unlock the door everytime you need in your room!!

The room key did not work. I went back and forth to the office 5 times for a key. After the 5th attempt I was told a housekeeper would let me in the room each time I came to and fro. The second day of my reservation Rod knocked on my door and argued that the key worked when he issued it and then he proceeded to talk nasty and disrespectful to me and threatened that he "would put the incident in his notes" whatever that meant. I will NEVER BOOK THIS ESTABLISHMENT EVER AGAIN! I plan to tell everyone I know about how I was disrespected and never had a working key to the room I paid for!!

Shouted at by the rudest employee, Frankie. He is an absolute emabarrassment to the company. Too lazy to even type a name into the computer. The manager, Rudy was completely worthless at trying to solve the problems that multiple guests were experiencing. Guest #1 got a room, but when she opened the door, other people were already in the room. She was shaking when she came back to return her key. Guest #2's reservation was not honored and his room had been given away. I was guest #3 in line and my reservation was also not honored and my room was given away. Guest #4 in line had a room, but returned a few minutes later and demanded a refund because there were empty doritos bags scattered in the room and neither bed was made. Guest #2 joked that he might be willing to take her dirty room just so he would have a place to sleep. My husband and I left and decided to make the 3-hour drive home. We called Motel 6 Guest Services on the drive home to complain and when they looked up our name, they found our reservation but explained that this particular hotel over-books on purpose, assuming that some folks won’t honor their reservation and that way they don’t loose out on money. A truly shocking way to run a business.

For every detail, due to my having forgotten to bring some items, Crystal was super kind and helpful!

Exceptional Staff!

If you are looking for a cheap motel, here's your place. Depending on what's going on in town, you can book for really cheap. It's close to the Capitol, FSU and FAMU. I got what I paid for. My motel room is outdated and dirty. The bathroom has mold. This property has construction going on so the room I had was most likely next. The staff is very nice and helpful.

It's located around good places to eat. And entertainment

This property is in terrible shape. It was filthy in every respect (inside and out). I only stayed one of the five nights and checked out the next morning. The only reason I stayed the one night was it was very late when I arrived. I felt very unsafe. The front desk clerk was very nice and helpful and refunded the remainder of the 4 nights.

Located near a lot of things

Convenience to downtown

We checked out after the first night. There were multiple people wearing ankle monitors, people openly smoking marijuana, multiple fights in the rooms around us, and the property had been vandalized. Im from a rougher neighborhood and yet this place made me feel completely unsafe. Between the fighting in neighboring rooms and late night loitering/dealing going on in the parking lot, we did not sleep at all and checked out first thing which caused us to forfeit a paid night. The room was horrible! Floors, walls, sheets, everything was filthy and stained. The bathroom was disgusting and the toilet started leaking water on the floor. TV didnt work, phone didnt work, shower barely worked and the room smelled of mold. I could go on, but you get the point. The front desk staff was the only bright spot as they were friendly.

Property is close to campus. Very affordable if you are on a budget. Very close to food, amenities, the capital and downtown. Hotel has been In existence for 20 plus years, so a bit long in the tooth. Housekeeping Hadn't completed turning over the room when I arrived, Which included Turn down service for the bed And linens. Since it was late and no other rooms were available I had to wait till the next day. Front desk staff was friendly and was very amenable in remedying the situation. Second day I was there At 7:30 AM in the morning seems the hotel was having some plumbing issues and I woke up to a concrete saw cutting into the pavement in the parking lot outside of my room. since most of the guests work in construction and I had to be at a conference at 9:00 it's not the biggest deal but definitely an inconvenience. Also power and water were interrupted briefly. Not sure if it's correlated with the plumbing issues or related to other issues at the hotel. Evening of the 3rd day Some of the doors are missing room numbers so I was awakened by a delivery driver at 3 AM with Whataburger which again a bit of an inconvenience. Very noisy Hvac unit and bathroom exhaust fan. I do sleep with ear buds so just an inconvenience but Just a heads up. After a few days the conference was nice enough to move me across the street to one of their comfort hotels so all is well that ends well.

Excellent staff and good location

Inside the room was ok...Outside had trash all around the hotel. It look as if it was a shelter. Wouldn't want a wife or family around this place.

Property was disgusting. Had to get our door rekeyed every time we came to the room. Homeless sleeping in parking lot, on stairs, by pool. Several people knocked on door beginning at 7 am looking for drugs. Very disappointed.

No toilet paper no wash cloths nor towels Lock was broke on door People hanging out on staircase outside after midnight no breakfast

The property was so dirty , garbage cans overflowed, all stairs handrails were so dirty, and all hallways were dirty with spots dried for long time never cleaned . Only one clerk for people checking in and out and so slow. In the morning the two coffees pot were emptied at 8.30 am 🙏. Not very satisfied with management.

Yucky - slow and poor service - long wait at counter to get checked in - bathtub had not been cleaned (scum all along sides) - dirty floor of room - only one towel given, and that was wet and hanging on door -- no amenities at all i.e. no coffee machine/microwave/refrig in room, didn't feel safe at that motel

Just a place to spend the night and leave the next morning… no fridge, no microwave, no coffee. Just a bed, a tv and and a bathroom… Satisfied for the night we stayed..

There were roaches in the room. Sheets had stains. Long time to get hot water to sink and shower. No coffee pot in room. No breakfast setting. Lots of pot smoking in area. Too much light getting in room at night. Need better curtains. Will not use motel-6 again

Staff was kind and helpful, though they seemed a bit distracted at times. One of them pounded on my door 40 minutes before checkout. Low water pressure, broken light bulbs, noisy AC, no breakfast, had to ask the front desk for shampoo/conditioner, and the smell upon walking in was awful. If you’re on a budget it’ll do the job but even for cheap hotels there are probably better options around.
