What guests think

Reviews of Motel 6-Piscataway, NJ describe a budget stay with very mixed experiences, where some guests found clean, comfortable, and affordable rooms, while many others reported noise, smoke odors, and safety concerns from loitering and late-night activity around the property.

Cleanliness feedback is highly inconsistent, with multiple reports of roaches, stained or burned linens, and poor maintenance, contrasted by reviews noting daily housekeeping and some very clean rooms. Service is mixed too: several guests praise friendly, accommodating front-desk staff, while others cite rudeness and unhelpful responses to problems. The location is convenient for certain plans, with some finding it close to venues or work. Expect a basic, low-cost stay with significant variability.

The water in the bathroom sink ran to slow. The towel holders weren't really clean. Electrical outlet should be on both side of the bed. No ironing board, no microwave or refrigerator.

Honestly speaking, I came here last minute for a funeral. I had to travel on a budget with my dog and they allowed pets to stay for free. The beds, toilet, sink and shower were freshly clean but the room floor was not swept. There were many roaches coming about. I did not bring my belongings in the room. Kept everything in the car and brought in as needed. The area is fine. You can tell people live at the motel and your usual activities are going on. Non of the guest were troublesome though. I do appreciate being able to freely smoke without judgment from other guests. Its was pretty quiet, and the outside area fairly clean. If they get rid of the roaches they would be 5-star in my opinion.

When the guest tells staff that no one is to enter their room, no one enters their room. There should also be a good supply of do not disturb signs available at the motel. There are one too many people hanging out at room windows / property.

I did not like tobacco smoke which was coming out of other rooms in my area. Although I told the clerk Shante twice, she was empathetic and said she would advise management. In the interim it made my stay not comfortable. I had to put towels in the bottom of my door to keep out the tobacco smoke. In light of this uncomfortable weekend I will never stay there again. Smoking laws are not adhere to in this facility. All I wanted was to have a quiet getaway weekend

I couldn't sleep all night, people were coming in and out of the adjoining rooms talking loudly and laughing out loud and this went on until 7 am, I also asked for a non-smoking room but the whole hallway smelled like smoke and the smell came into my room too. I was afraid of the type of people who were staying there, nothing good.

Even though the staff was nice and friendly. This place is the worse place I have ever stayed at. I know it's a cheap motel but, I think it's got more to do with location. I have stayed at other Motel 6 and the surroundings and the appearance was great. But this one was horrible and our room had a very strong smoke smell. The shower curtain wasn't on it was thrown in a corner of the room. Not enough towels or toilet paper. Bed sheets had like cigarette holes and suspicious stains. Unfortunately we had to extend our stay one more night and they charged us almost the same amount we had paid for 2 nights.

Property was not clean. Beds were very uncomfortable bathroom faucets were very slow. One of our rooms had an issue with water leakage and they took over an hour to give us a new room. We were exhausted from traveling and the service was very poor. Hallways smelled like marijuana and non smoking rooms smelled like cigarettes. Overall very bad experience.

Had to grab a hotel last minute in town visiting friends. Grabbed this place. For $149 I wasn’t happy with the maybe bc when I spend $149 it’s a lot nicer. The rooms have been updated the bed was not bad. There was a used bar of soap in the shower. Which tells me the cleaning is laxed. I’ve stayed in worse and for last minute it fit but it’s not a $149 room. $89 at best I’ve stayed in really nice places for $75-85.

The moment you step into the room, the terrible odor welcomes you. Not well maintained & not a family friendly motel to stay. Look for a better place particularly when traveling with family.

UNSAFE, LOUD, DiSGUSTING I booked a room for 6/21/24 at this hotel. We drove all day and evening to get to this hotel 9 hours. We arrived late around 8pm due to the heavy traffic. When we pulled in to the parking lot. I observed several dirty young men smoking and drinking outside the rooms. There was a man in a motorized chair going from room to room not sure what he was doing. Their was a bar 50 feet from this hotel packed with people and the music was so loud it was overpowering. I was traveling with my young daughter and felt totally UNSAFE at this hotel. I did contact Expedia who I had booked thru but it ended up i could not get a refund. I left for the Somerset Marriott only 15 min drive away and was so relived. It was very nice and safe for me & my daughter.

I choose to stay at this particular motel because it was within walking distance to Gabriel's. The venue for my friends party. Since i was going to be drinking, i didn't want to drive. But what i didnt know was it is a motel where displaced people go using a voucher. I was a little concerned after realizing this, however, i had absolutely no issues at all. The room was nice and clean. And my car was safe, as so was i walking to and from Gabriel's. I always say, you get what you pay for. I have no complaints about my stay!
