Motel 6 Hard bed and pillows, no light left on, partying residents at Motel 6 RIPOFF Macon Georgia

After a very bad year for my husband I was advised by therapists to give him a break so I planned a trip to Florida to visit my dad. He looked forward to it for weeks. He is recovering from a bad stroke and that was his focus point.

When the day came to leave I had planned to drive to the halfway point of Macon, Georgia. I looked online for a Motel 6 before we left so I knew where we were staying. After all, they leave the light on and pets are always welcome. There we have fib number 1. No lights on but we could live with that.

As we got ready to take our showers I noticed we had 1 washcloth, 1 hand towel and 1 bath towel for 2 people. We made do with that because I used the hand towel. Finally we could relax in bed. That was the hardest bed we've ever felt in our lives and the pillow was so used that it was completely flat. We may as well have been lying on a board. I finally gave him my pillow and I got our clothes for the next day and put them under my head.

Now the fun started. Every time we would attempt to drift off we heard a shout from outside. People were standing in the corridor or sitting in their doorway chattering and laughing. By 12:45 we'd had enough already. We packed up and left but before I did I went inside the office to take the card key in and make a complaint. All I got from the night clerk was "I hope you enjoyed what time you did stay with us, please come back!" She shut the window and walked away. I was totally speechless and let's just say I wasn't a happy camper right then.

We drove for 2 hours and then stopped to have breakfast. My husband can't drive and I needed a break so we caught a catnap in the parking lot of the restaurant. After about an hour we were on the road again but I already had a plan to report them to the Motel 6 online. I reported them that night. I did get an email from the main office saying my report had been sent to that location.

Today I received a letter from Macon Motel 6 saying steps had been taken to fix the problem but I really doubt it has. I just want to let everyone know to avoid that place. Spend a little more money as we did on the way back. I can't mention the name of the place we stayed but it was a lot more comfortable with plenty of towels and a nice pillow. Not to mention a good night's sleep for the next day's drive.
