Lots of activity in the parking lot and in the corridors. The shower door in room didn’t shut properly so there was always water on the ground luckily enough the towels were super clean. The bed was hard as heck but for a Motel 6 i kinda expected it so i lived with it. The pool looked clean it was busy so i didn’t attempt a dip.

It is next to the rail line, but if your room is on side away of motel, the rumble of the trains are less. Rooms are clean. Extra expense if you want a refrigerator or microwave, but that keeps the cost down.

Pool not heated nor cleaned every day, but acceptable. Room cleanliness subpar ... had to clean feces from under the toilet seat and lomg black hair found on toilet bowl, in tub, basin and room floor. Apparently staff at all levels have not heard of HAIRNETS . I'd advise not accepting a room located behind in the rear. It's noisy late into night with traffic, talking, radios etc. Pricing OK

The only thing nice was the bathroom. The door was difficult to open. I basically fell into the room any time I tried to open it. When we left to check out, water was everywhere because they overflowed the pool. They did give us free bottles of water when the vending machine was sold out.

At first glance I was worried about my truck getting broken into. The pool was green and unusable, which didnt bother me all too much. The AC was good and the shower wasnt bad, no shampoo or conditioner though. The staff was nice and helped us save money by going through Expedia. However, waking up to roaches crawling on the wall in the morning ruined it all.

Well, the main thing you have to know is that it's across the street from train tracks, so there's definitely some train noise. Other than that it was OK, with plenty of parking. The room had a fridge and microwave and the mattress was comfortable.

Room clean and COLD! You don’t get any heat from the thermostat! So if you’re cold go to the office and they will send someone to fix it!! I just don’t agree that you should have to BEG for HEAT! Other than that the train goes bye and you might want a room at the back.

The rooms are very very small. They need to be updated. The furniture was worn and broken. The showerhead fell off several times during usage. And the train tracks are very close, making it very noisy While trying to sleep and ran at least five times at night and in the morning shaking the property

Overall, it was not terrible, but the train kept coming we were far enough away so that it was not a terrible impact. The room was extremely small. Bathroom was spacious and open. Shower and water pressure was great! Walls were very thin. My kids and I heard someone have intercourse through the walls. I had to distract my kids. TV did not work well even with the wifi code. Overall, very cramped and decent stay if you absolutely had to. I would not stay there again.I needed to pay attention to the fact that double bed means full. For a full figured person that is not enough space. It was decent. Staff were patient.

Checking in was through a bulletproof window which immediately made me feel unsafe in the area. The door locks apparently have issues with sticking and there is a specific way that they had to be opened. This was not passed on to me during check in. The heater didn’t work. There was only freezing cold air blowing into the room. The thermostat didn’t work either. The temperature of the air never changed. We turned everything off and luckily were satisfied with the ambient temperature in the room.

We stay at Motel 6 occasionally when traveling with our cat as very few places, for whatever reason, don’t accept them. So I know Motel 6. This was not even close to the already basic standards they set. Arrived early and the room wasn’t ready so we left and came back at 3pm, check in time. No one had touched the room. We sat in the parking lot for almost an hour waiting. The room wasn’t properly cleaned. The coffee wasn’t fresh or hot, and then totally unavailable! The laundry room was locked for the entire 7 days we were there, and the very young staff were mostly rude, unprofessional and indifferent. There are other Motel 6’s in the valley and I advise finding one. This place is horrible.

When I first got there, the girl at the front just was very rude. She tried to tell me I didn’t have a room even though I booked it days ahead after speaking to the manager they found my room lol also, I was told that they tried calling me and it didn’t go through. Honestly, I do not think they were calling the right number because I didn’t have no problem with anybody else calling me, she be calling in front of me trying to make me look stupid and it didn’t go through but honestly I don’t think she was dialing the right number on purpose I seen reviews with other customers, saying the same thing that they weren’t receiving calls from them either and the same issue saying they didn’t have a room for them when they got there, but finally at the end, the manager found my room out of nowhere that was literally the only issue I had they need to work on Customer Service and also on how they book peoples rooms

I went to a 3 day festival in the city and I needed a place where to stay near by the event, so it will be easier for me go back and ford and this place was perfect. On google will say the hotel’s distance to the venue will be 7 min driving but with the detours and everything due to the event happening in the area, was about 15min which was also convenient. The room was perfectly clean, great customer service, and just perfect for the occasion.

Homeless roaming the grounds. I asked to be moved to the front building. Too many homeless wandering around in back building. No security. Just an unsafe vibe. $70 is overpriced for this place. Extremely dangerous and dirty. I would never stay there with family. There are holes in the bars of the fence where the tweekers go back and forth.

We had to be moved to a third room to find one with a working a/c. The beds were comfortable and felt clean. But the floors and the rest felt icky and needs upgrades because just cleaning alone wouldn't work. We woke up the next morning to find a few cockroaches running around. Also, the train runs right by the hotel. Very loud. We checked out at 8:30 am. We stay at a lot of Motel 6's but no plans to return to this one.

Bare bones accommodations for those prioritizing budget. Staff was extremely kind and friendly. We checked in late and they were super helpful. Area of Indio around the motel is not great. Run down and maybe sketchy. Also very loud as the road right out front seems like a main thoroughfare. Bedding was thin and pipes seemed to make noise (maybe it was air traffic?). A/C was comfortable (but highs were in 90s and lows were only 70s).
