Motel 6-Bakersfield, CA - East

The staff are great. The property is horrid. There are literally dozens of stray cats everywhere. There are homeless people sleeping within the hotel on the grounds. There are nonworking doors and scary stairs. This place needs a security guard or something as it is not safe.

Stayed 1 night to rest on our way to Vegas. The ladies working the front desk were very nice and helped recommend food options. The room was clean and comfortable. Everything worked. Didn't use the pool but there were lots of families using it. Good place to stop & rest.

The area felt unsafe and was dirty and poorly maintained. I was worried about my car getting broken into all night (judging by the people hanging outside in the parking lot). We chose Motel 6 because it is pet friendly and accessible- we have stayed at a few of them before, knowing it is a motel and it was cheap we had low expectations. However, the property still disappointed us. It was dirty, loud, and felt unsafe. We felt the need to check for bed bugs because it did not seem well maintained. It was really loud outside. We woke up continuously through the night because of noise from people in the parking lot and cars passing by. The bed was uncomfortable and the nonsmoking room smelled like smoke. Waited about 1 hour to check in because when we arrived front desk was closed then there was a line of people waiting for their needs to be met as well. We only stayed one night and our interactions with staff were limited therefore no complaints about their costumer service except the wait time but I assume she was on break. Would not recommend this stay for families or more than 1 night stays.

The outside of the property is very dirty. It appears that people live here. We had to request a second room because our first smelled like cigarettes and was filthy. Our second room was better, but still dirty. I am not one who needs a fancy hotel, but I believe motel 6 could have done much better. The facility outside was gross and I felt unsafe. The manager took random breaks and was no where to be found most of the time. Overall, I would not stay here again. I had my two children with me and I was not happy.

Not only was the kid next door loud the pool was nasty

Homeless people sleeping outside by the pool. People walking in the parking lot all night long. Other hotels around area had security fences and gated but not this one.

There were people out constantly asking for lighters, money etc. the lot was filthy and the room not much better. The beds were awful. Staff on my second night was friendly but the first day I had to wait out in the heat bc the staff was in the bathroom. But I waited 15 min

good internet, but ice machine was broken, mattress was substandard, no shampoo nor microwave in room.

Felt really unsafe , lots of homeless wandering around . The room had a bad smell and there was cockroaches in the room . Will never stay here again .

The room is outdated. Bad was in horrible shape. Bathroom door doesn’t close because of the toilet. Room was dirty. I read reviews before booking was completed wrong. Pool wasn’t even open in 97 degree weather.

The rooms were terrible dirty walls linnen floors were sticky smelt very dingy

Will not be staying here ever again. I had booked a room non smoking area because my mom has asthma and as soon as we open the door the odor of cigarette just came out. I had to go buy cleaning supplies because it was dirty. To top it of we found a cockroach. Worst experience ever.

I got bit by bedbugs I thiought it was a mosquito then my girlfriend got bit and we found them it was a bunch

Room and amenities were dirty.

Extremely dirty

Went in thinking that this property was going to be just like every other Motel 6. I was wrong. I woke up at 2 AM and went to grab something off a nightstand and there were two roaches on it then I went near the fridge raider area and there were five or six roaches, crawling all over there as well.

Room was not clean and bedspreads are not washed, we can lot of stains on the bedspread. I'll not recommend this hotel for families

Disgusting room. Spit and hair in sink. An inch of dust where towels kept. Dirty before you use them. 2 inches of dust on light in bathroom. I could go on. Not even any coffee available

At arrival we got the keys to a room which was already occupied. The next room we got had more than 100 flies in it. It was dirty. Room door was messed up, curtains having big holes and about to fall down. The beds were both subsided where the previous guests had been sleeping. Really dirty outside. People sleeping outside the garbage containers. We arrived late and didnt have any options than to stay. The worst motel I have ever seen.

Housekeeping gets 5 stars because the room was super clean with a citrus spray. There’s no fridge or microwave in room 241, not sure about the rest- Is it the ventilation or the walls are made of parchment paper? The pack of cigarettes they smoking next door came directly in my room. And the post binge drinking vomitus next door was loud and clear in my room. I can literally hear their stomachs doing tripple flips in the toilet bowl!

The AC units are very dirty they and do not really Kool anything down I have pictures of the dust and the room that I was in didn't have any good power plugs

The room was in bad shape. WiFi was not working. Very old furniture. Not good.

Place was ok except for a mattress that was in very poor condition!!!

Mattress was so in need of replacement. Shower was low pressure due to shower pull and shower head. AC/Heater was old and smelly. If you are able to stay elsewhere do so. Was a last minute stop and looked for cheap and usually lucky but not this time. At least was fairly clean, locks worked and was quiet.

The rooms have old mattresses

Air conditioner sucked

The AC units were in need of care

room was dirty, mattress was caved in the middle

Mattress was horrible and very noise bed,0 confort

The lady who did my parents check in she was terrible and rude

No complaints great staff , Vanessa,brianna(2),Patti, and hospitality room keeps, awesome mgmt-Ben.

Check in with speedy and painless the lady at the front desk was polite and nice took me 2 minutes to check in.

Staff was nice

Staff was very disrespectful

Poor customer service - got here at 9.45pm And waited 30 mins to check in

The sink drain was not working properly, and the water flow was sparse. There was no drain plug for the bathtub. The room was clean, but standard amenities like shampoo, conditioner, and carpet were missing. Many of the cable TV channels had not been paid for and were unavailable. Around 9 AM, somebody who did not announce themselves attempted three or four times to open my hotel room and enter. When I yelled at them to go away and to stop bothering me, someone asked me if I was supposed to be in that room. I told them that I was registered in the room and that I was not yet checking out. (Check out time was 11 AM.) As I was leaving, the manager came to me to explain that the staff had not properly registered the room in my name and so the morning staff was confused. I was glad he was trying to clarify the situation, but I told him that it was completely unacceptable for people to try to enter the room unannounced when it was obviously locked and a guest was still using the room. Very unprofessional behavior.

The front desk staff was awesome Breanne i believe i figure her name out..

I was woke up every morning and informed that I didn’t pay for my stay. When I booked my stay onli e for a week in advance. I paid with my credit card foe my stay. They kept checking me out of my room every day. They also checked in another party and told me that they would find me another room. I had all of my things in my room and they said that I am not registered in the room that I checked into the previous day. They wouldn’t stop banging on my door and insisting that I didn’t pay for my room when I did.

As soon as I got there I wanted to check in at the front desk and the person told me “there was no rooms “ I told her I had made reservations and she said “NO , all the rooms are booked” didn’t even bother to look at my phone screen for the reservations details . I was walking out already confused and telling my family in the car that we had to find another place. The front desk person came outside and finally asked my name and then apologized and said I was in the system . As soon as I walked in the room it smelled like cigarettes. . I couldn’t get a refund for this place so I had to stay . They had loud dogs staying next to us . Arguments happening outside my door at 2 in the morning. There was a lot of suspicious people outside coming in and out of these rooms. It was a scary experience , didn’t get any rest

Didn't even stayed, we changed to different hotel. Absolutely horrible location. Room stinks with weed. It's like you are in the middle of the ghetto. Read other negative reviews.

I love that it close to the free way and down town

Easy off and on the freeway

Homeless people sleeping outside by the pool. People walking in the parking lot all night long. Other hotels around area had security fences and gated but not this one.

Great if your looking for a hotel to visit family sports like foot ball, Holidays family events and working job close to freeway 58 close to the center of town close to 178 Highway close to truxtun ave superior court downtown it one of best in town I travel with two dogs American pyellow pit bull and a German shepherd with are very comfortable while I work dog need to be in a peaceful place so I can work

Property was ok, good location to freeway and restaurants

Don’t stay here. Prostitution, homeless people and drug addicts have taken over this hotel. Left 20 minutes after checking in. The room smelt like someone was just smoking meth in it. Dog poop everywhere outside.

The property isn’t in the best place lots of homeless the room was decent as well had a little stench but the cleaning ladies where really nice always came to check if we needed any new towels or toilet paper etc I would stay there again overall a pretty cool stay no bothered us for the most part there was a time a guy knocked for a lighter but after we told him no not he knocking they left us alone

I really love the area. It’s easy to get to the courts in central Bakersfield. It’s easy to get through the freeways. It’s easy on a highway so there stores and so it’s a pretty good area because I’m working so with my business I’m able to work and move around

It was clean felt safe happy with price wish it had a microwave.

Disgusting room. Spit and hair in sink. An inch of dust where towels kept. Dirty before you use them. 2 inches of dust on light in bathroom. I could go on. Not even any coffee available
