    Very disappointed. Place looks ran down on the outside on the inside the stench was horrible my I attempted to cancel my reservation as I had a 1 month old and 2 year old but was told I couldn't since it was not refundable. I told her I had children the place was absolutely disgusting from the smell it was not clean. The floors looked dirty, sheets were washed but stains. Was disappointed in the fact I said there are children if I would've known what I booked I wouldn't have I will not ever return as I do visit Fort Bragg. First and last time I been trying to call to speak with relations regarding this stay and have still yet to receive a call back.

    More mold and dust in the shower

    This is THE MOST disgusting Motel 6 I've ever been to. The only reason I stayed here was because I was so tired and it was one of the only places with an office open late to allow checkin. I walked into the office to check in and was hit with the stench of dirty cat litter box. No one was even at the desk and took them a minute to come in the office. Im assuming there's a living quarters attached to the office. After checking into the motel, I had to haul my luggage all the way to the back of the property and upstairs only to find out the keys she just gave me dont work. I called the office from my phone and told them they keys dont work. She wanted me to walk back and get new ones. I told her I had all my luggage outside and im not leaving it there after I just hauled it all the way to the back and up the stairs. She agreed to bring the keys to me but it took like 5 business days for her to even leave the office amd walk back to my room. When I got inside everything was rundown, disgusting, broken, etc... The light switch doesnt work, you only have the bed light at the only source of light in the entire room. The windows in the bathroom and both bedrooms are covered in moisture and black mildew due to being old single pane windows. The floor was ripped up and exposing some kind of plastic layers underneath the fake wood panels. Shower has mold all over in the grout. Bathroom walls had splatters of who knows what running down the walls. The beds are atrocious. They are extremely springy and you'll sink down in them. The sheets got dirty on one bed because I have a rescue dog and she decided to pee on the bed. I immediately ripped off all the sheets to avoid it soaking into the mattress. I called the front desk and explained what happened and asked for a new set of sheets. They claim they have none and it will take an hour to get some because he has to wash them first. Mind you it was midnight already and he wants to make me wait till after 1am. I questioned him on the entire hotel not having any sheets. He claims "Well I wash them at night, thats why". Im going to call BS on this. What hotel doesnt have sheets/bedding ready? Do they only have enough bedding for each room they rent? I again call BS. I told him nevermind and hung up. The property has an entire vacant wing for some reason. There is construction EVERYWHERE and the pool is not operating. The construction that is being done looks weathered and aged and clearly no one is completing the construction currently. Its just sitting there incomplete. This place is clearly run by cheapskate slum lords and not that Motel 6 was ever glamorous but I can't believe that corporate allows this location to be run under their brand name. This place should be shut down and paying $95 after tax for this room is downright criminal given the poor condition of the entire property. Ice machine is also outside and fully exposed to the elements, bugs, rodents, etc... I wouldn't dare touch it with it being exposed like that. Anything can crawl up the ice shoot and into the ice bin. Most hotels have one inside. House keeping tried coming into the room while I was asleep. Luckily I had a camera recording. Its unacceptable that checkout is at 11am and yet they try to physically enter the room hours prior to this. Stay out of peoples rooms until the designated departure time. I would avoid this place 100% in the future unless you're fine with dirty, moldy rooms and house keeping that has zero respect for paying customers.

    Room. Looks cleaner than it is.

    If you need a place to sleep and don't want to pay a dime more than you have to, this is a dry clean bed. The motel is quite run down inside and out and no frills is an understatement. No pictures on the wall, no coffee maker, no extra blankets, no shampoo for the shower and stained up white towels. There is a mini fridge and a microwave which is nice.

    Nice addition to the room. Don't see these in too many Motel 6's

    Decent for Motel 6. Front desk woman was nice and even recommended the yummy pizza establishment (D'Aurelio's) behind the motel for dinner. It was delicious! Room was as clean as most motels in this chain. We had a king bed room with microwave and refrigerator (with little freezer). Like the wood floors, especially for pet friendly establishments. The bed was old. Very springy and anytime anyone moved, the entire bed shook. This is probably the worst bed we've had while staying in this chain...and we aren't picky bed or pillow people. Another drawback is the window wasn't able to open. There was a rod put in it to close it permanently. We prefer fresh air over a/c, but ended up having to use the a/c at night to sleep because the room got too hot and stuffy. Luckily the a/c worked well, without any odd odors. Water pressure and temperature were good. Sink and shower drained properly, but the shower felt soft under our feet...water damage?! I let management know. Overall a decent stay. Would probably stay here again, only when traveling with pets.

    Busted up and mold hvac unit

    I know it's Motel 6 and the offering is sparse. I'm totally ok with basic, you're usually only there to sleep and shower. This was just dirty. It was moldy, smelt like wet cigarettes and I think there had been mopped off puke on the wall. Pretty sure there was some snot on the wall as well. Code enforcement and the health department really need to check the place out. I really wish I could be refunded. Anyway it was disappointing.

    This was our room

    Filthy room had other peoples clothes in the closet . Person next to our room having a tweaker party in his rig and room cops got called by other people. Manager basically could care less gave us a $10 discount . Pathetic Do not waste your money here

    Everyone thinks Oh No a Motel 6 trashy. THIS one was actually very nice. It had everything in it except an iron eh but who needs one just wear a sweatshirt. 4 because the mattress was a cheap one and my back went out of whack. It needs to be on springs like the good ol'days. Breakfast, well you got small wrapped hostess donuts, a bit of fruit & coffee (good if your in a rush) just drive up 5 miles & go to Dennys

    Dirt all. Maybe a new pet, named George?

    Motel 6 Fort Bragg, CA-June 10-11,2024. Thank god my husband and I (disabled) carry camping gear and a few cleaning products on the motorcycles at all times; because this location is a biohazard shithole. I have slept in a literal sheep barn in Australia that had a higher standard of cleanliness and repair. At the time that I am writing this, I have found a dirty sock under the bed, dirty tighty-whities on the closet floor, hairspray on the mirror, and dust everywhere. For a special bonus, every light fixture is a different wattage and color (which can be a trigger for a many neurological disorders). There's also a stairwell that's practically boarded and taped off, which I use loosely and in looking farther back on some reviews, I found that this specific stairwell seems to be a long-standing issue. How is every room on the second floor of that building expected to safely evacuate in an emergency, with only one set of stairs? Now, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. This is the second mess of an experience; however, it'll be the last time I let myself or anyone else suffer the reckless negligence and malfeasance that is permitted and practically encouraged with Motel 6's subpar standards for one to retain the ability to call themself a Motel 6. I was willing to look past the disaster of a location in Kalispell, Montana. However, this pathetically shoddy attempt at customer service that Motel 6 attempts to hock is habitual and I wouldn't be surprised if either of these locations results in someone eventually becoming ill or passing away because of something that happened at either of these locations. If "Nancy Y." is a legitimate member of staff, she needs a raise for cutting and pasting the same lame excuse for your sloppy and lazy franchise owners. The only consistency I have seen from Motel 6 is its stellar dedication to being a biohazard shithole.

    It is like this throughout the whole room
    Roy T.

    The room was dirt, smelled awful you could tell whoever was doing the maintenance and or remodeling of any part had no idea how to do i, I've stayed here a few times over the years. first time was 2007 and I would say it was pretty good then and the restaurant was the best, jump to today and the place is filthy and run dow, the restaurant is terrible and has no restroom for customers. it's pretty sad to see because this place had a lot of good qualities at one time and it's definitely been let go

    one side of the complex
    Sal V.

    I can not recommend this place. As nice as the staff was, this motel just seems so rundown and in desperate need of a face-lift. I asked for a non-smoking room but was placed next to rooms where people were smoking in their doorways, and my room smelled like smoke with a touch of urine. it was hard to sleep. I brought my own bed sheets, smart thing to do for this place. the pictures on their website are obvious touch ups. They had hardwood floors, probably for easy clean up. No door mats, so dirt and what not were tracked in from the outside. The lights were ALL dim, maybe to hide how dirty they rooms actually were. The complex is big, so they should be able to accommodate a non-smoking side without having to smell stale cigarette odor. It was gross. Check out other hotels in the area and make this your absolute last resort.

The outside looks very modest, but when you get into the rooms, they were clean comfortable and offer nice places to sit outside while you have your lunch and look at the water and hear the ocean waves breaking below. I would return to this place in a minute. Everyone that worked here was helpful and nice. And I would recommend if you're going there go to the south end of the building and on the second floor they have an outdoor sitting area where you can look at the ocean and have your lunch under canopies. Enjoy this place we will be back. If you're ever in Fort Bragg, be sure also to visit the nearby glass beach. It's really famous and it's fun to poke around there. You can also catch the skunk train easily from this location.

Nobody had wifi that worked well. You'd get maybe a minute or two connected, then offline. There's no AC, but the pet suite had a decent cross flow of air. The kids rooms however did not, just a small bathroom window near the front, and a sliding glass door near the back. Not really something you can securely leave open all night. The rooms themselves were clean and well maintained, offering a TV, a microwave and a mini fridge. Staff was very responsive, we called for extra towels and coffee, received them right away. Key cards seemed to be an issue for us and other guests. We had to return to the front desk several times due to non-functional cards. We saw several other guests return as well. Location is pretty nice. Right by the shore and at the south end of town. There's a handful of bikes for rent which is nice. Several places to eat well within biking distance, including a Denny's. The firepit area and BBQ's though, need to have some sort of reservation system. We had one family monopolizing one corner. All in all, a fair balance of positives and negatives except when you get to the price. You're paying on the high side, so you expect a little better. The pet room was fun though, our dog enjoyed having her own little spot to go in and out.

I am unsure if they have a pool or hot tub but they do have specific rooms for dog owners and even provide them with their own gift basket... which I have never experienced before.

To update my review further: There was no replacement roll of toilet paper in the room and House cleaning started cleaning our room before we checked out. Front desk was annoyed when we brought this to his attention. I was going to be generous and give this place 4 stars but the lack of interest or humility by the front desk really irritated my husband and I so 3 stars is my honest review. Shame.

It was a blessing as I had to get to work in the room, we can work remotely sometimes. They also upgraded us to a room with a view. And it's a remarkable view of the ward and harbor. You can hear the sea lions, I believe barking at each other and many species of bird singing. There is a balcony with chairs you can sit out on too. The room has its own thermostat which keeps the room toasty warm on low and it's quiet. I can't recall what kind of unit it is but it's in the blood bad it quietly pushes hot air out. The room has a kireg type machine with sorted coffee, large mini fridge and freezer, and microwave. There is a desk and lounge chair and big screen tv with multiple channels. The shower/tub and toilet is separate from the vanity. The light to the tub/ toilet are is on the outside and the fan is extremely loud, so loud that it will wake up your mates who are in a deep slumber, so that's a minus. They have a ground floor that requires no steps and has a ramp that goes around to additional rooms. Other than that there are a lot of steps and no elevator that we've seen. So if you don't do stairs pick the ground floor and walk in on the lobby side. The lobby has all day tea, coffee, hot chocolate complimentary. They also have snacks and drinks for purchase: rice a Toni, Mac n cheese, spaghetti o's chicken noodle soup, tuna/chicken and crackers, chips, jerky oatmeal, and cold cereal. As for drinks they have juice boxes, milk, Gatorade, matcha, ect. No alcohol that I could see. The wharf is a 15 min walk or 3 min drive and they have seafood restaurants there. Across the street is Homestyle cafe for breakfast and lunch and you're a few min from downtown. This is a great location.

It's consistently one of our favorite places to dine on the Mendocino coast.That said, the rooms are showing their age and are in need of a major refresh.
