Motel 6 ripoff Canton Michigan

Stayed in a couple of Motel 6's over the last week. Motel 6 USE to be a nice place to stay FOR THE MONEY. Not anymore. The Motel 6 in Gallup NM, the front desk lady(Tuddy) was very rude to the person checking in before me and to me. He asked where a good place to get a sandwich was. She rudely said"There's a Taco Bell across the street". I didn't ask and she gives us a 10% coupon for a diner, 1 block down the street. Now the weird thing is all around the Motel 6 in Gallup are a number of brand new nice motels at the same price. Motel 6 was half full, all the others were full. I stayed at this Motel 6 in Gallup, 11 years ago. Hadn't changed much. Checked into the Motel 6 in Albuquerque, was assigned a room, went to the room, it hadn't been cleaned, was assigned a new room. Motel 6 is trading on it's name of the past. Next trip I'll know better.

I agree that service and cleanliness are part of managements responsibility. BUT...if you have an owner who refuses to put money back into a hotel(burn marks on spreads and other capital issues like furniture and carpets) as far as quality of items in a room or what the place looks like than its not management. The guests see it as poor management but really its poor ownership. Motel 6 is mostly if not all corporate owned and not sold as an independant franchise-so its easy cleaning up with corporate backing you. It also seems that motel 6 waits until the hotel is ready to be condemned than it does a reno on it.
And as always people seem to demand a 5 star hotel at a 1 star price-I don't get it!

Motel 6 is really the same as many other motels and businesses. The management of the motel dictates the service and quality of product you will receive.

I was a manager of a Motel 6 that was absolutely horrible when I started. I wouldn't even let my mother stay there to visit. I was able to clean the property up and hire some good people. These new employees had the same attitude I did - do for your customer as you would like to have done for you.

One thing I can tell you is that Motel 6 is a BUDGET chain. This is a "no-frills" motel. You don't get shampoo; tissue; clock; etc. What you get is bed; towels; and soap. This is why their rates are so much lower than any other motel.

Kindly note, I have worked at a couple of other hotels at supervisory levels. You would certainly know the brand - but they are not always as clean or hospitable as you would hope. Again, the attitude comes from management and filters downward.
