I've always picked Motel 6 for one reason -- it covers the basics. After a long drive you just want parking, a hot shower, and a clean bed. That's it. This stay in Blythe broke all three. Parking was a mess. A lot of spots taken by semi trucks blocking multiple spaces. No control from the property. I ended up parking further out and walking. The room felt worn and neglected right away. Floors didn't look clean. Everything looked tired. Beds were worse. Both had visible stains. I booked a king, got two queens -- didn't even bother arguing. But when both beds look like that, it doesn't matter anymore. Shower -- no hot water, just warm. Pressure weak. Hard to even call it a proper shower. Ice machine wasn't working. Pool was closed with no explanation. Then at 7am construction started. Loud enough that sleeping was no longer an option. That's the basics -- and none of them worked here. 1 star. Not coming back. read more

Whenever I have work in town, I come to this Motel 6. And I usually don't have any problems. However, the first week I've been back, my towels haven't been taken out and restocked. It's fine if I have to do it myself, but when I got here I requested it and gave them benefit of the doubt that they'll do it. Or at least tell me, as I have been going up there every day to get new towels. Then, today when I went up to the front desk to ask for towels, she said that she ran out of towels and I have to wait for three hours for someone to relieve her of the front desk. Mind you, I just got off of work to take a shower (I work in construction) and she sometimes isn't even in the front. It's the lady with glasses and always wears a mask. Honestly, if wasn't for Maggie's hospitality and her amazing service, I don't know what I would do. read more

These cheapie motels are not the best but for the reasonable price room it beats sleeping in a car. The one thing I noticed and loved was no carpet which I always feel are dirty and nasty. The floors are a tough vinyl and it felt cleaner than the musty old carpets from other motels. read more

Motel 6 - Look ma - No carpet 2023 - Hotels Near Me - Blythe, California

Never an issue for us staying at this Motel 6 in Blythe. The ladies at the front desk always greet us with a smile and check us in quickly. They remind us about the early morning coffee and ask us to let them know if we need anything else during our stay. We have stayed here several times either going to events in California or returning from events but were too tired to make it all the way home that night. The rooms and the buildings are typical Motel 6 and the rooms have been remade like the majority of the chain with the wood flooring and flat screen TVs. No frills, but that isn't what Motel 6 is all about. You get a room with a bed, a seating area, a TV, a bathroom with a sink, shower, and a toilet with some towels and some bars of soap. Perfect for an overnight stay to get you refreshed and back on the road again. There are several places to eat just down the road. We usually grab something from Albertaco's (Mexican Food) and bring it back to our room. There's even a Starbucks just over a block or two, In the morning there are usually muffins or tiny donuts to go with the coffee or tea options. Highly recommend if you're needing a room for a night or two in Blythe. On our last visit we saw them unboxing a plethora of small microwaves, so our guess is that each room is getting a microwave. read more

When you're on the road it can be hard to find a decent clean well kept motel. It can probably be even more challenging to operate the decent clean well kept motel. Between being a dusty desert stop and the type of less than conscientious to down right scandalous travelers that often frequent dusty desert motels it's difficult at best to keep it operating well. That is not at all the case with this Motel 6 just off the I 10 east coast n Blythe CA. Now there are two in town and I haven't heard much about the other but this one is really good. When I checked in there were several couples waiting to register a mixed bag of people which is always a good sign. It was late night on a holiday weekend so being efficient and quick is hard. These ladies were both efficient and exceptional nice customer friendly and informative. They got all parties set up and filled everyone in on all they needed to know and were super friendly while doing it. It's something not always easy to pull off when you're dealing with a group of grumpy travel weary folks. The room was super and basic but clean exceptionally nice and likely remodeled in the past few years. For the price you can't beat it! The bed was pretty comfortable and the AC was kickin'. The bathroom was really large and a pretty spacious shower also clean. Their TV sets are pretty new and provide excellent reception and channel choices. The linens as well were clean and comfortable. I can't say an bad thing about the room. Whomever cleans and resets the rooms should get a pay bump. They obviously care. The parking lot is safe and well lit. The pool is well lit and looks fairly used which is often not the case in desert motels so that says a lot about the care and upkeep. There's a lot of stray cats in the neighborhood so if you want to take on a travel buddy you'll have your pick. I wouldn't suggest it but hey who knows maybe there's a kitty lookin' to get outta town. In the morning when I turned my key in I commented to the woman at the front desk, Paula how really nice the room and stay was. I stay often at motels in the road and the staff and accommodations here are Impressive. She too was super informative and friendly and replied that they do their very best to keep things going well at their Super 8. It is truly obvious they succeed at it. If you stay anywhere in Blythe CA try this motel you'll be satisfied. In fact whoever runs the Super 8 chain or franchise should give these ladies an award for their success. read more

Worst Customer Service, That obnoxious Cassie has an a attitude. She should really mind her business on who comes and goes in that place. She turned away a person trying to get a room because the person's ID was from Mexico. Like wtf! That ID is acceptable everywhere! Management need to re train her because that was just racist and uncalled for. read more

This Motel 6, has the nicest people. Anything we needed they complied, Very nice rooms, huge comfy beds and a huge bathroom. I believe this room is for a handicap person which i am not one, but my sister-In -law's husband is, so they gave us rooms close together. I also have 3dogs and there is no pet fee. What great hospitality! I will spread the word, you couldn't get a better place w/pets anywhere. This hotel stay was refreshing to come back to everyday. Thank You for all you've done to make our stay so nice!. read more

Very clean rooms and wonderful front desk lady(wish I remember her name). She noted that I had a baby with me and moved my room further from the highway which was so sweet and thoughtful of her. The rooms smelt clean and everything was nice and tidy. I would sleep here again if I ever travel through in the future. read more

It looks really good in the room. It smells clean, it's been renovated, I like the wood floors. The ladies at the front counter were really nice, and they greeted us with a smile. We are overlooking the pool, it also looks recently cleaned, I don't have time to swim, but I couldn't help but check. Plenty of parking near my room. No complaints. I don't understand the low stars, maybe it's because they were reviews before the updates. read more

Great stay, room was clean staff was so helpful and kind, Kindal gave exceptional customer service . Would highly recommend to anyone in need of a comfortable affordable place to stay. read more

No heat... no extra blankets @ the end of December!!! I hope that the night goes good!!! read more

Don't stay here in the winter. They have an old style heating system where you can't run A/C in the winter (it's a heat-only or cool-only system). They blast the heat all day, and if the weather is sunny and your room is on the west side, you'll arrive to a 90+ degree room and no a/c to cool it down with. Unacceptable. Management is nice but hands are tied with bad equipment. I actually requested to be moved to a room with broken heater and it was much better! This was in January. read more

Good, economical pet friendly motel with a pool. We went with the cheapest option, double room. This hotel has smoking rooms, which is hard to find in California. Everything clean & in working order. Room had refrigerator, but no microwave in room. There were vending machines in the office, there might be one there or in the ice machine room, which also has soda machines. Ice Machine room closes at 10PM, and the bathroom has no bathtub, only a shower, which is why I gave four stars, not five. The pool is closed because it is October, which is too bad because Blythe is in the desert, the pool should be open all year round! The hotel has a large parking lot in the rear, saw trucks hauling trailers and a big rig parked. We stayed two days for business reasons. No issues with the staff or other guests, no weirdos loitering. A few motorcycles parked, but they were gone by the morning. Lots of stray cats running around outside, thats no issue, I see that at a lot of gas stations and motels when traveling. No trash outside, clean motel. The air conditioner was pretty dated, room felt hot, could use one by the door/ window instead of the antiquated central a/c, but it is in the desert. The area was not too bad, near the highways, food places, Jack In The Box, Taco Bell, Denny's, gas stations. There was a park less then a half mile away I was able to walk my dog to in the morning, Miller Community Park, I think. Everything was ok, but be aware there are transients and meth addicted desert folks hanging out by the gas stations. Other then that, it was a good stay. read more

Not a bad motel spot. I was a little hesistant about the location but isn't as sketchy as I thought since next to if theirs nothing but dirt. The room seemed good, we got a good size bed for the price . The ac also worked great and quickly made the room feel cool. My only complains would be that we had to go back 3 times because the keys wouldn't work to get into the room. The tv also was staticky so we couldn't properly see the channels and also while we were going through the channels we came upon a channel that showed porn..yeah porn. The shower head also had weird green/blue things on it that looked like possible mold or mildew. read more

For the price you pay, you get a decent room. The thing that kills this place is that it's a truck stop hotel. So be prepared to be awaken at 1am and 4am by noisy people and diesel trucks. No place for a single woman. This is a truckers stop read more

This motel is clean, spacious, and the front desk person was fabulous! Maggie is a people person and made my checking in process pain free and quick. I m impressed with this room and it's price. I have been staying at Motel 6 for a year now( I travel as a carpenter) this facility has the best bang for your dollars!!!! read more

I was looking for a cheap stay.....and that is exactly what you get. When I entered the hotel, the first thing I noticed was the sign on the office door stating that the manager had stepped out. After waiting for 15 minutes, the manager returns. As I was being checked in, three separate issues happened with other guests...all involving broken remotes, tvs, and an air condition problem. When I get my key, I pass by the green/closed pool (it is summer by the way). When I arrive in my room, the am overcome by the stench of smoke. I requested a non smoking room. The Wifi is out, only 5 out of 30 channels work. The air condition makes the room feel like a freezer....hopefully you get my drift. At the end of the day, might be better sleeping in your car read more

Came here from casa grande Arizona and I got the room for 65.99 I am glad my girl and I got the room and then off to needles tomorrow morning read more

Maggie, Maggie and Maggie! After receiving a new job assignment and was told our set up housing was going to be Motel 6 I was definitely not happy. My Motel 6 experiences in the past have always been bad, dirty rooms, dirty sheets and other disgusting things I'd rather not discuss. To my surprise, I don't have anything bad to say about Motel 6 Blythe, and that's mostly due to Maggie the front desk lady. Maggie has always been very nice, and goes out of way to make sure all of us have clean rooms, extra blankets and towels. If you ever get the chance to stay here at Motel 6 Blythe ask for Maggie, and I guarantee your stay will be so much easier. read more

I stayed here last nite with my 8 week old pup. I put down some pads to prevent accidents, but I do like that the had laminate floors. Personnel at the front lobby were kind and helpful. The bed was comfortable enough. I've read some other reviews and can say you'll never please everyone. Don't expect The Standard suite experience with the motel 6 price. If it's really so bad when you get to the room, ask for a different one or leave. Simple. I was actually surprised thinking the furniture and bathroom would look 1980-ish but it was very modern. I didn't test the WiFi since I watched a little tv and crashed with the pup. Hope this helps ! read more

It's not the Ritz. But, hey! We're not staying there!! The rates were reasonable. The staff was very friendly. Chad in particular was helpful and great at showing concern for our sick and elderly dog. It's wonderful when people show their care other people's animals! read more

No frills for sure, the night we stayed there it was pretty quiet so we slept pretty good.

Nice and helpful workers. We stayed in room 137. It's in the back of the property so it's quieter. The room is a bit run down, but it's clean. A good place for an overnight read more

Software glitch defaulted to the wrong day. They refused to refund my money. I'm a 30 year Motel 6 customer, but no more....ever.

Pros: Clean Air worked Sheets clean Bed comfortable Cons: Paid too much for what you get. Requested a non smoking rm, rm came with an ash tray. TV could not see picture Air made an loud noise Paid for WiFi and it did not work. read more

This is the worst hotel ever.AND I TRAVEL FOR WORK!!! None of the channels work. The beds were broken. The room smelled like mold. The manager was even worse he yelled at me for being awake... literally!! Im 32 years old you dont tell me when my bed time is. Plus if u want a clean room dont bother. They dont make beds. Just pick up garbage right by the front door!!!! WORST HOTEL EVER!!! ALSO upon reading this review they locked my room and kicked us out! Without a refund. Never got any resolution out of this either. read more

I was really tired on a road trip.. I was going to nap in my car, but it was in the middle of the desert on a hot summer night.... You'd think at 1 AM the heat would let up, but like a relentless nagging old hag it sweltered and abused me, plus I kept thinking some psycho serial killer was going to ax me to death in the middle of the night, or I'd get abducted by a transcontinental trucker called Angel Fire and forced into submission as a grease monkey for his 16 wheeler before getting sold on the Internet for some speed... Hey, I know all about the truckers and have plenty of pleasant thoughts that never fail to keep me company on my way to slumber land.....a.k.a...... I was out of xanax. Anyhow, decided to check into the cheapest hotel in the area... Motel 6... tweakerville hell. My room smelled like an old ash tray that just finished having an orgy with itself, and as I pulled back the sheets a lovely stray long ass black pubic hair greeted me all playful and happy..... Fucking Gross!! Next time I'll take my chances with the ax murdering truck driver..... read more

The rooms aren't that great, standard Motel 6 fare. Which translate to a bed and bath and that's it. However it was clean. It gets the 4 stars for the staff. My car broke down on the interstate outside of Blythe. The motel was able to get me a room on short notice. The staff was so kind and helpful. They knew I was waiting on car repair, so kept asking me if I was ok, etc. They were also welcoming to my dog. Best front desk at a motel I've encountered in a long time. Other hotels need to take a lesson from this staff on customer service. read more

Samantha was really nice and helpful. Sympathetic to our situation w my mom being in a wheel chair. Modestly priced for what time we checked in. Room was clean and modern. read more

I drove via 8 East from San Diego to Blythe for a job interview at Ironwood State Prison. After the interview, I drove into Arizona to Quartzsite to buy gas. (I saved a whopping $3 to $4 when filling up my tank.) By the time I got back to Blythe, it was getting a bit late so I got a room at Motel 6 about 6:00 p.m. The desk/staff person was nice and I asked for a quiet room away from the highway traffic. The room and bathroom were adequate and the shower stall was great. My only gripe was when a bug decided to visit my room and landed on top of my head while I was sitting in bed watching television. I've read about other motels having bugs, so they probably are difficult to avoid, especially in desert areas. In the morning, I raided the ice machine and filled up my thermal food bag to keep my water and Gatorade cold. I was in Blythe on September 5, 2012, and the temperature was something like 104 degrees with 80% humidity. The heat and humidity were brutal and I came down with a mild case of either heat stroke or heat exhaustion. When staying overnight, the temperature did come down to the 80s around 4:00 a.m. If you need a decent place to have breakfast, try the restaurant at the corner of W. Hobson Way and Lovekin Blvd., across from Starbucks. I got a huge veggie Swiss cheese omelet with hash browns and whole wheat toast for around $9. (Two people easily could split this.) read more

I was working in the Blythe area and got the pleasure to stay here. I had the opportunity to meet Maggie, Jack, and Jodie I hope I got that right . Super accommodating to everything I asked and extremely nice and kind. There housekeeping staff are the best as well. If I have to come back to Blythe this will be where I stay, no doubt . read more

I stayed one night while fishing the Colorado river and this is a hidden gem. Cold AC and a comfortable bed. One reviewer said 'its not the Ritz' but you know that by the budget friendly price you pay. No complaints and i would stay here again. Maggie, at the front desk has great customer service skills and should get a raise or a promotion, she made my stay very appealing. Thanks Maggie and Motel 6! read more

On average I probably spend 6-8 days a year at this motel. sure its not the hilton, but thats WHY I AM AT MOTEL 6, ice machine WORKS WONDERFULLY, rooms are always icey cool, pool is always clean, parking is never an issue. Staff is always friendly and courteous. Maids will leave you any number of towels you wish. I have been using this place for over 20 years. It's an affordable room with cool air...what more do you need? read more

Pros: Place to sleep Quiet Air conditioner works No bed bugs Cleanish Cons: No wifi-you have to pay Scratchy towels Water comes out of faucet in sprinkles Tv makes people look super weird because of the outdatedness of it All in all it was an okay place to sleep but please update some stuff soon and don't use so much bleach on them towels. read more

Night #3 on our cross-country trip (relocating from South Florida to the SF Bay area with my cats). #1, I was thrilled to cross the CA border knowing I had only one day of driving left to go - but the gal at the front desk was quick and ensured that I had a first-floor room since I had pets to transfer from car to room. It was clean and quiet. read more

Room was cleaner than expected. Izzy at the front desk was most helpful. Rooms seemed to have been remodeled recently. Best bang for the buck. Will stay here again. read more

This place doesn't even deserve a single star! It's disgusting! The sheets on our beds were dirty and had hairs all over the pillows and sheets (I slept on top of the blankets after seeing that), I couldn't even sleep because I spent most of the night scratching I think they have bed bugs! The beds don't even have fitted sheets!! All night the person next door to us kept smoking and we could smell the cigarette smoke in our room! I know it's a cheap place to get a few hours of sleep but at least I'd expect to have clean fitted sheets! Never will I stay at a motel 6 AGAIN!!! read more

I stayed last night in a very clean, quiet room. Fresh paint, clean smell, no fingerprints, a very large TV with a lot of cable channels, lots of electrical outlets for charging electronics, even one on each side of the bed! Four pillows on one bed so I didn't need to ask for extra. Two great mirrors, (one in bath) with better lighting than I have at home. I did need to ask for a bar of soap but I had plenty of towels. Coffee was ready at 5:00am as promised with little Hostess powdered donuts. Desk clerks were friendly and helpful, both evening and early morning. Thanks for a restful night's sleep! read more

Front desk gets 4 stars. Very nice very helpful. Good rates and the room was very clean. Just standard motel6 fair. Nothing fancy. Just be aware. They have no rooms with fridge or micro. No breakfast. And the big kicker was they charge you $2.99 extra per day for wifi. Which I think is ridiculous in this day and age. read more

Great stay for a Motel 6! We needed a place to stay at while driving from CA to AZ, so I booked this a few hours in advance via the motel6 website and got a good rate. The Front Desk (Patricia) was extremely helpful and friendly. The room itself was clean (passed the bedbug check and shower/sink/floors were clean) and I felt fine sleeping there. The only downside was there were no toiletries (soap, shampoo) in the room, but luckily I had some. Would definitely stay again. read more
