What guests think

Across reviews of Motel 6 McAlester OK - South, guests praise helpful staff but report uneven upkeep, maintenance and cleanliness problems, closed amenities like the pool, and occasional safety or reservation issues, though some stays were comfortable and good value.

Reviewers frequently mention broken ice and vending machines and intermittent Wi‑Fi/TV. Room setups are inconsistent, with some updated and comfortable, while others lacked advertised fridges or microwaves, had weak AC or hot water, or doors and lighting that didn’t work. Check-in experiences range from smooth and welcoming to delays or missing third‑party reservations. Overall, expect basic, budget lodging where service stands out but reliability varies.

In particular the bedding smelled like sweat, not ours! The ice machine did not work at all. Could have been worse but definitely could use some improvements

The lady that checked us in was very kind and switched us to a room on ground floor. Room initially smelled bad. Was given a bottle of sour apple scented spray to use. Didn't cover smell very well so we used our own cologne to help. One of the things we asked for when we made reservations was a swimming pool. Wasn't told that pool was closed. But seeing the pool after check in was obvious that it was not usable. We've stayed at this motel before and was very satisfied with accommodations. But motel has changed hands since our last stay, and I would not recommend staying unless major changes are made. Such as cleaning, repair to walls and bed linen changed rooms and hallways need to smell clean. If pool is out of order, please say so before check in.

The stool was filthy. The first room had a large amount of poop under the stool seat and pee on the stool rim. I asked for a second room and it had the same thing. The second room had a fresh stain on the sheet. The property was nice enough and there was a great restaurant next door but the bathroom and linen were filthy.

They do not an elevator which is very inconvenient for someone who has arthritis their knees. We checked in Friday afterwards and goldfish crackers stayed on the stairs from the time we checked in until Sunday when we checked out. The room took all day to get cold and felt like a sauna, which was very unpleasant. There was hair in shower. The mini fridge sat on the floor on the side of the bed. There were no chairs to sit in. The only lights that worked were by the side of the bed and it was like having a flashlight in your face. The room definitely did not look anything like the pictures. The wash cloths were dingy as well.

The current owner is using old pictures which is the reason we chose this hotel. We walked in to a bare lobby. The first room the mattress was very soiled the sheets had body hair. The curtains were falling down, the knob cover to the adjoining door was moved over and we could see into the other room. The mini fridge had not been cleaned out and had old food in it. They moved us to the other building which looks nothing like the pictures. There was Sheetrock dust all over the floor under the TV and on the desk area. The beds were still bad. The shower looked filthy covered with soap scum and had hair in it.The sink faucet was dirty. The towels were so stained they looked dirty and no wash cloths. It is was overall a horrible experience. When we told the desk person how gross the hotel was he did not say a word just kept typing. Will never stay here again. Beware. The pictures need to be taken down and the owner needs to advise that the hotel has a new owner and is being changed. I wish I had taken pictures but was too shocked and it was late.

laminate / vinyl floor was layed improperly. It felt like walking on a dirty sponge. The glue they used was visible though cracks in the flooring.Pretty disgusting. Then i noticed in the morning that the sheets on the bed were badly stained ewwww. Next was the very poor job of painting. Splaters on barhroom counter. Looked like that in bathtub also. I didnt look at it closely but it was either paint or dirt. It was just an awful place.

First off I’m not a picky traveler but the Place smells musty from the start, the key the staff gave me didn’t work as programmed that they had to give me a new key and move me to a new room. In the room it smelled like smoke and the shower had black mold growing, the shower liner was orange from the mildew and the towels had visible stains it makes me wonder whether they had been washed, the bathroom light worked when it felt like it. The bed linens were soiled, the wifi didn’t work while I was there and there was about 5 roaches grasshoppers hanging out in the room, not to mention the other guests were allowed to walk around under the influence and shirtless , lots of loitering outside made me feel extremely unsafe.

Property management need training . The environment is in bad shape. Nothing would make me stay here ever again. Bathroom had bugs dead on floor. Light shade was on top of vanity. Towel not washed and smell dirty. No soap. People yelling at night. Doors being slammed all night. Management would not to do anything about it. Just overall this location has won the worst of the worst.

Filthy!!! Top sheet had fresh stains… gross! Messy paint job left toilet looking like poop smears. Saw two mice run by… zipped everything up and left. Stopped by front desk and told the desk clerk that I expected a refund as I could not sleep there. I needed the sleep and ended up caught in a bad storm stuck in my car the rest of the night. Anything was better than this motel six in South McAllister!!!!!

My reservation was supposed to have a microwave and mini fridge in the room. The first room I was put in had a mini fridge but was very dirty and dusty and HOT. I went to front desk and was moved to another room. That room didn't have a mini fridge or a microwave. The front desk lady had me move the mini fridge from my old room to my new room on my own. Later on there was an extremely friendly front desk lady who had a microwave brought to my room upon request. At least I didn't have to carry that!

The 1st room i was given 218 had a broken box spring and stained sheets. 2nd room 216 had a horrible appearance. The walls weren't finished with the decor and the mattress should have been given to a trash dumpster 10yrs ago. I couldn't sleep most of the night because of the mattress being so uncomfortable... I had see a chiropractor when i got home the next day... I wouldn't recommend thia motel 6 to anyone.

Julie at the front desk was so helpful and friendly. They are remodeling and the first room we got had a smell that, we believe, was coming from the housekeeping area, 2 doors down. She moved us further away and the smell was gone. Once the remodeling is complete it will be a good place to stay.
