What guests think

Motel 6-Frackville, PA offers budget stays with convenient highway access, but reviews describe an older, basic property with mixed cleanliness, cigarette odors, maintenance issues, and thin walls that can transmit noise.

Service is frequently described as courteous and accommodating, though a few guests encountered absent front-desk staff or reservation problems. The location is convenient to I-81, but some mentioned a sketchy feel near a prison and limited nearby dining; on-site breakfast or restaurants are not provided. Expect a no-frills stopover focused on price and access rather than polish.

Two rooms lost power for 20 minutes. No elevator. Good value for the price. I would stay again if in the area.

I got the room for $40 bucks and you cant beat that. They had an EV charger level 2 there that costs 40 cents a kwh to use and that was convenient. The crappy coffee was really good. For the money it was the bargain of the trip a real windfall.

The room was absolutely disgusting. There was dirt all over the walls. You can just see the different layers of filter around the light switches the types of pain in there. There is other people’s hair still in the shower. The bathroom stink is falling off the wall. The room was meant for a non-smoking, but it obviously have been smoking a lot. There was random puddles of water on the floor. I would’ve been more comfortable sleeping in my truck.

Room is severely outdated and dirty. Piles of dirt under beds, looked like dirt was just swept under the bed instead of being cleaned properly. Smelled like stale cigarettes and mattress had stains.

I had stayed at this property a few years ago and it wasn’t very nice. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how clean it was this weekend. No horrible smoke smells and the room was quite clean. You won’t get a lot of the frills of other hotels, but for $60, I didn’t expect any. A clean place to stay for the night at a very good rate!

Limited restaurants in the area. Management was fantastic. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable. The only thing I wish they had were more electric outlets in the room; if your a techie bring a multi plug to accommodate your gear (phone, radios, battery chargers etc…) Best bang for your buck!!

Typical low cost older place. Starting to show disrepair. Room was clean and all plumbing and electric worked. AC was working well. No food or drink available. Mini store across street with gas station. Easy access and close to interstate. Plenty of eateries and nice small town. Probably don't want to bring mil there otherwise it's a good place to crash for the night.

This was perfect for a cheap but safe option. The staff were always friendly and helpful. The building itself is rather old and kind of reminded me of the RoseBud Motel, but was perfect for a place to sleep at night. The water pressure was good, there was always hot water, the towels were of a higher quality than I expected, and the room included a mini fridge and microwave. The only real downsides were that the room had a cigarette smoke smell, despite it being a non-smoking room. We usually stopped noticing it after being inside for a few minutes. The second downside was during one night when it rained really hard outside, the ceiling leaked and dripped on my mom while she slept. If you end up in room 122, be careful sleeping in the bed on the left side of the room in case the ceiling hasn't been patched yet. I shared this with a staff member when we checked out and they said they would look into it.

I arrived at 4:30 and they hadnt prepared my room. I had chose to pay when I arrived. Imagine my surprise when I saw that they rang me through 3 hrs before I arrived. The floors are vinyl plank floors and they were dirty, there was no rugs, the walls bare , no comfortable chair to sit in and the bed was pushed up against a wall. Sparsely furnished and bedding didnt fit, they were too small.

Terrible service! Rundown property, but we were tired and other hotels were full. When we arrived the lobby was locked and a note on the door saying “ Will be back at XX time”. We waited until that time and rang the bell, multiple times and called for 10 minutes. Then a disheveled woman drove up in a car and unlocked the lobby so we could get checked in. The hallway carpet to our room was filthy, another guest had several pairs of shoes strewn down the hallway. The AC unit in our room would not adjust temperature so we froze at 60 degrees all night. I only gave a two star because the bed was clean and it was quiet!

This property is located 1 mile away from a prison, which you pass by on the way. I was traveling with my 15 year old and it didn't feel very safe. Shady men were checking in when we were checking us out and always trying to make eye contact. Fridge sounded like it was possessed, blankets had cigarette holes, tv (nice 50 inch) was distorted and was showing 32 inch of content in a 18 inch black frame... walls are so thin it sounded like people were in and out of our room waking me up constantly. It's ok if you're with your husband, and just there for a shut eye, but definitely not 2 ladies alone.
