Motel 6 Salem, VA

Bad

Value Old run down shower.

Black mold in bathroom. Numerous holes and patches needed on walls.

Suggested fix: Have housekeeping (or someone) should check ALL aspects of the room daily (IE: Toilet, bathtub, sink. lights, TV, phone, refrigerator, microwave, HVAC, etc.) to insure there are NO safety hazards, before declaring the room fit for use. Just so you'll know, I like Motel6, use them a lot but have noticed over the years, that they are NOT as well maintained as they once were. That's a shame. ~ Tim Runfola

Rooms themselves were clean but flooring in the bathroom was coming up b/c the shower sprayed outside of the curtain even when it was closed. Bed and sheets were nice and clean. The property looked terrible (an actual part of the roof and stucco was hanging off the second building) very sketchy. Definitely a get what you pay for kind of place.

Room felt dirty, no ashtray in room. Did not feel safe.

Although the beds looked made, the room did not look as if it was clean. The soap bar wrapper was empty and left on the counter. The counter and the dresser top did not look like it was cleaned since it had crumbs and dirt on it. The floor did not look swept, the bathroom tub looked dirty, and there were no towels in the room so we had to ask for them at the front office. Even though the room was a non-smoking room it had a smell to it like a cigar. Lastly, the front office had a pungent smell of ethnic food.

Room was poorly kept up. There were holes in wall and just not nice

Nothing. We didn't even stay there I didn't like anything there. We cancelled & didn't stay there & we can't even get our money back

Stay away from this flophouse. The pictures on the Hotels.com site must've been taken years ago. Let's start with the check-in: when we got there, the attendant (owner?) said no smoking rooms were available, even though we ordered it in advance. My wife looked at me and said, "Well, he paid for a smoking room, so a discount would be appropriate.". What do you know? A smoking room became available. Then, when we entered the room, it was a shock. Motel 6 built its brand on basic, but clean, rooms in reasonable shape. First, the bathroom door was disconnected from the bottom hinge (picture). Then, to our amazement, the bathtub had a huge crack in the floor which was "repaired" with some sort of plastic that gave way when you stepped in it (picture). Next, the flooring at the entrance to the bathroom felt like it was giving way when you stepped on it (picture). The walls on each side of the room had significant damage, unrepaired (picture). Next, the room door had obviousely been kicked in and left unrepaired (picture). Police raid, maybe? Lastly, there was a disturbing red discoloration on one of the walls (picture). Blood, maybe? Now that we've recently retired, my wife and I travel quite a bit. This trip was for our grandson's graduation. When we return to the area, you can bet we'll be staying elsewhere.

Bad

I need a full refund. The motel worker refused to check us into the motel. Customer service

Passable

Feces and blood on the walls. Holes in the walls. The bath tub was black with filth and was broken. I can't even express the shock. They charged me for 3 nights when in reality we only stayed a few hours.

Very run down appearing property. Lots of unsavory guests sitting outside the rooms. Ice machine did not work properly. Bedspread had stains on it. And sheets had a cut mark in them??? I choose this hotel because I had 2 dogs traveling with us and just needed a place to rest for a few hours… it seemed very sketchy. I would not not recommend this Motel 6. ( I have stayed in many that were updated and well kept but this did not meet my budget hotel standards)

This motel room was very dirty. No dead bolt on door. Look like it was broken and not fixed. Bed had cigarette burn holes in it. The outlet covers were filled in with paper. Holes in the wall that were not filled in. Very very unsanitary and disgusting

Good

The room was not clean. The floors were dirty and sticky. The AC and TV worked which was a plus.

Shower curtain rod was hanging down so low, both ends of the shower curtain slide open. Bathroom floor was sinking around the toilet, with cracked tiles all around. Floor is ready to collapse. The walls had dirt, grease, and crayon markings all over them. The floors are filthy. Exterior has gutters hanging down from the roof and trash all around the property. Part of the brick divider wall between units had collapsed on the roof. All of the material was laying on top of the roof.

Breakfast are no choice, terrible place for breakfast
