Motel 6 Yakima, WA - Downtown

The staff took a long time to respond to the ring camera door buzzer for late night check-in. I almost gave up. The floor of the motel room had a layer of grit that left the soles of my feet black. When I picked up the two bath towels, two live bugs crawled from underneath. There were some dead bugs by the bathroom sink. Just gross place to stay.

Booked this hotel so i could get some sleep coming off the highway. Despite having a confirmed booking, i showed up and the office was locked and noone inside. So i rang the ring doorbell and waited 5 minutes. Nothing. In the meantime someone clearly high on something was zombie walking first out front on the sidewalk, then onto the property searching around each room door for something. He wanders off then comes back with a plastic bag to collect whatever it is he finds. After waiting for several minutes for someone to answer the ring doorbell with no luck... i call the property, twice. Nothing. I then get in contact with ******* who was helpful in getting a refund started, but that will apparently still take 7-10 days. This was at 1 am but if you're right off the freeway and take reservations at 12:45 i would expect you would have someone to finish checking you in. I would highly recommend NOT staying here regardless of when you check in as the neighborhood and building is sketchy.

Economical stay for one night. Room was dinged up with torn drywall, screws where the towel bar used to be, stained curtains, and a shower that had not been cleaned.

From the exterior, the grounds and building appeared well kept enough. Unfortunately the internal condition of the building was tremendously disappointing. (1) First off…There was a strong stench of stale cigarette smoke in the Lobby. (2) When we attempted to enter our assigned room, the key did not work to unlock the door. Then when we entered room, it was not ready for occupancy…The sheets on the beds had cigarette burn holes and burn stains on them. There were no blankets on the beds or in the room at all. The shower rod was removed and lying across the coat rack with the shower curtain in a heap. (3) We called the front desk and the attendant was very apologetic and assigned us to a different room. (4) Upon entry of the second room…It was disappointing. (5) There was broken and missing electrical switch and plug covers. (6) There were 2 holes in the bathroom door. (7) There was graffiti on the bathroom wall, (8) Large areas of Sheetrock and paint was missing in various places. (9) The place was dirty. There were greasy hand smears over the entry door, the walls and flooring was dirty. (10) Overall, the place was deplorable. We felt like we had to have shoes on the protect our feet from filthy floors and hung our hand towel on the coat rack rather than lay it on the icky counter top. (11) No Breakfast as advertised We toughed it out and stayed 1 night because it was late at night and due to a State Basketball Tournament, rooms around town were now hard to find.

No lightbulbs. No pillows. Terrible smell. The manager said he processed refund, but I haven’t received anything.

Service was friendly. Room was dirty, especially the sheets, floors, and blinds. Bathroom vent fan cover was falling off. No facial tissue available. Stayed nice and warm on a cold night.

Shower rod was nearly torn off the wall. Bedding was thin and damaged. But price was pretty good and it was close to convention center.

The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and prompt! They also easily accommodated an earlier checkout than what I initially booked for. My room appeared to be decent on first glance, but I then noticed that the floor had not been vacuumed or mopped at all. I found dust, dirt, hair/fur, and even a few pieces of pet kibble on the floor. I didn’t go in with high expectations for a budget motel, but to me, the condition of the room did not feel like it met the bare minimum for how clean a hotel should be. I checked out the next morning, and again, the front desk staff were incredibly kind and accommodating of the change. So at least there’s that. All told, I still can’t in good conscience recommend that anyone books here though, not until cleanliness is held to a higher standard.

The staff was very attentive as usual. I stayed with them over the years for work, so this stay was like a family reunion!
