Motel 6 Simi Valley, CA

Room smelled like piss, I thj k someone pissed in the ac

Pour ne pas nous retrouver à dormir dans la voiture, nous nous sommes retrouvés dans ce motel 6 en raison d'une mauvaise surprise avec la location que nous avions initialement réservé à Simi Valley. Expérience plutôt moyenne. Le motel est situé au bord de plusieurs routes très passagères. L'insonorisation de la chambre n'est pas très bonne. En pleine nuit, un occupant du motel criait sur le parking et cela a fortement perturbé notre nuit. Le matin, nous avons dû aller à l'accueil pour demander une ventouse pour déboucher les toilettes.

Where do I begin? When we arrived to our room, the bathroom had human hair all over the tub and dog hair all over the floor and on the walls. I went to the front desk and they were going to send someone to clean it again while we were out. Came back, office confirmed it was cleaned again but the bathroom looked the same with all the hair. Also want to mention, someone wrapped a plastic trash bag around the smoke detector. On top of this being extremely unsafe, you would think the cleaning person would notice and remove it. They switched me to another room. Guys right next to us ended up smoking ********* in their doorway and the smell was coming into our room. I have a young daughter who kept asking what that smell was. Again, went to the office and yes she told them they can’t smoke there but that didn’t really stop them. They also kept their door open a crack all day long and into the night. I definitely didn’t feel safe especially since it was only me and my daughter. Not to mention the creeper hanging out in his car watching us walk to our room. I asked to speak to the manager but her hours were 11pm-6am. I stopped at the front desk at 5:30 am before heading out somewhere. The manager gave me 2 options. Pack my belongings at 5:30 am (we were leaving for the day) and leave it in my rental car and MAYBE they can get me yet another room when I get back OR just check out with no where to go. I didn’t find those options to be reasonable or fair. She gave me a generous $25 refund on a 5 night stay for all the trouble. Stay away from this hotel! Yes, you get what you pay for but rooms should be thoroughly cleaned before a new guest arrives and safety should never be compromised!

It could be one of the "better" Motel6s but the problem we had was an awful/unsustained Internet connection. Which ****** because like many out there we work remotely and depend on a steady connection. Front desk really didn't help or seem empathetic to the vexation, especially when we said we had to cancel the next reservation, because we need a reliable Internet amenity. It may have been the side of the building we were on. The only other real trouble we had was the cleanliness. We had to scrub and sanitize the microwave plate. If we had a good internet connection we would have extended especially being that we were able to park right outside of our door and we had a good location, but I just didn't make sense without certain amenities. I read another review that said that there were crack ******* and strange people on the property and it could be a possibility, but we didn't stay long enough. Grounds seemed kept up but there weren't any security cameras. They don't charge pet or parking fees and we didn't have to make a deposit, so there are some good things about Motel 6. This is probably one of the better properties they have. Staff was still good though, we didn't encounter any rudeness per se, it's just that the young man at the desk didn't seem to understand what we were trying to say.
