Motel 6 Cedar Rapids, IA - Airport

It was so nasty that I did not even use the bathroom or shower. Wish I could get a refund but oh well…will not be using hotels.com ever again.

Bad

Superb

However, I had a late flight in (checked in after midnight) and was expecting a restful night and to sleep in a bit. But about 4-5am-ish, a guest's dog began barking every few minutes until about 8am. I think it was the staff's responsibility to locate and interface with the owners to quiet the dog and so help assure the comfort of the other guests. Also, there were loud voices continuing in the hallway at about this same time. If it hadn't been for that dog and no (apparent) attempt to quiet it, everything would have been great and without complaint. I would choose this hotel again. It is an affordable option and a convenient distance from the airport for a one-night stay.

The smell, the cleanliness

Location, the towels, vending machine The smell, the cleanliness

Good

Dirty, rooms not nice, bed very uncomfortable, and people hanging out in the parking lot who clearly weren't supposed to be there.

Never been at a worse motel 6 before. Staff was more interested in smoking and chatting than assisting guests. Hotel smelt like burnt food. TV didn’t work.

Context, (im in crutches, use motel 6 frequently, rarely ever have problems).. Entrance and hallways smelt of fried fish, the bedroom floor was not swept, the bathroom floor was slightly flooded and when we requested for it to be cleaned, they couldnt clean it, so we requested extra towels and the worker stated he couldn't give us extra towels. He offered a room upstairs, I can not walk upstairs. So we left. Would've been nice to get a refund being that we stayed a max of 35 minutes. The Super 8 down the street ended up being perfect though. Kind of glad it didnt work out here.

Passable

The room was clean, although older and a bit shabby and needing repairs (bathtub drain was really rusty, the bathroom fan sounded like it was going to die, the a/c vent wouldn't tip as the cover was broken and glued in place, the side door was broken to the building but fixed during our stay, the policy is no smoking but the place reeked of weed). The staff was super friendly, and it was nice not to be charged $15 a day to have a pet with us.

Entire hotel smelled of weed. Even staff seen smoking on property which is comical since they post signs about no smoking within x feet of hotel. Not enough parking, had to leave our car at McDonald’s and walk. Room photos are likely from 20yrs ago since the flooring was cracked, paint and wood around in-room hot tub looked terrible. Hot tub wouldn’t hold water for 15min even with the drain sealed so who knows where the leak is. Hotel staff entered our room TWICE before 7a and each time said sorry and thought we had checked out…they even laughed about it when I did check out later in the morning. The weed smell was the worst though, so strong in the hallway and could smell it in our room. Heater smelled like something burning so turned off and thankfully had extra blankets in the car. Pillows were disgustingly dirty too.
