Motel 6 Portsmouth, NH

I stopped in to ask about a room and listened to how the front desk woman was talking to current guests. I turned around and found another place to stay. I don't need to be spoken to like I'm a naughty 2 yo and I don't need to listen to other adults being spoken to like that either.

Understanding that this is a cheaper hotel, I didn’t expect a 5 star accommodation, but I did expect a clean place. My room wasn’t noticeably horrendous. However, my bathroom was TERRIBLE! They allow animals, I did not have one. My bathroom smelled like animal urine to the point of making me sick. There were hairs in my bathtub. My sink didn’t drain. I would not recommend.

This chain isn't my 1st or 2nd choice but Portsmouth, NH is an expensive place. And I'd never think to spend over $200 for 1 night. But w/low expectations it was surprising acceptable. The ac unit worked & was quiet. I couldn't hear the compressor cycling on & off which is very disruptive when one's trying to sleep. It was white noise similar to my air purifier at home. I prefer the non-carpeted floor but still wore flip-flops; the floor did need mopping. The bed was firm and comfortable so I slept well. Yes, I could occasionally hear other guests in the hallway but my corner unit was fairly isolated at the same time close to the elevator so there you go. There's laundry room but I didn't need it. The place could use deep-cleaning and they have no recycling bins anywhere on the premises; I asked. The staff was nice.

Starting with 5 stars- removed 1 for the price. $250/night is way too expensive for no frills bare bones- regardless of season or location. Second star removed for rude front desk audibly making fun of guests last name. (Seriously? Grow up child.) Third star gone for bathroom electrical no longer working overnight. Fourth star removed for (again) rude front desk & not allowing more than 30 minutes late checkout after giving Motel 6 our time to repair the dark bathroom electrical while we waited. Couldn’t remove the 5th star, so that will remain for being pet friendly & providing poop bags…….how appropriate. Avoid.

Puts a whole new meaning to bare frills. Room was tiny, mattress was too soft. no safe, fridge or coffee maker. Bring your own soap, shampoo & hair dryer. We stayed 2 days & the room was never cleaned, bed not made. Our room was very noisy. We could hear the people above us walking around and the people next door talking. Carpet in hallway & elevator smelled musty with a slight aroma of animal urine. It did have free parking.

Very bare-bones room. No coffee maker, hair dryer, shampoo/conditioner, or refrigerator. Only 2 pillows, no bedspread and only one thin blanket. We chose this motel because we were traveling with 2 dogs and there is no extra fee for pets. Other than both of us needing to show ID, check-in was easy. Our room was near an exit, making it easy to take the dogs out, except you can only re-enter via the front door. Convenient parking near our room. The lobby did have free coffee, and vending machines with snacks. Room was quiet and comfortable, except that I was a bit chilly and would have like another blanket.

I have a dog so I try to stay at motel 6 when I travel. This is the worst one I have ever stayed at. First of all they don't have queen beds. We had just traveled for 12 hours & we were exhausted. I had no energy to google for another place to stay. So I booked the room knowing we would be crowded in a full bed. When I arrived I was told I needed ID for everyone staying in the room. If I couldn't show ID for each person we couldn't stay there. I have a handicap girl that we take care of & I don't usually carry her Id with us. Luckily I had some but had to dig for it in a tote. The other thing I like about motel 6 is that you usually have a door to the outside. Easier to take a dog out during the night. Not here, no door to the outside. The room smelled. Don't know what it was. The room was very small. one bed was right up against the heater. Made it hard to get in and out of bed. The shower head must have been dirty, the water shot out everywhere. Ther was no hair dryer. This place charged the most money I've ever paid at a motel 6 & it was the worst one I've ever stayed at!

My husband & I stayed here the last weekend in September. It was exceptionally chilly. I had booked 3 nights, but checked out the first morning. When I told the front desk that I couldn't get the heat to turn on in our room when we checked in, after several complaints I was finally told that the heat wouldn't be turned on in the hotel until October. I asked for a portable heater & was told the ones they did have were already being used. I asked for blankets; the desk guy checked in the laundry room, but there were only dirty ones there. I asked him to check unoccupied rooms for one; the first room wasn't even cleaned yet, the 2nd room brought out 2 blankets. I told him I'd take 1 so that someone else could have one, too. It was so cold that I had to fill the bathtub with hot water just to use the facitities! Even worse, when I told the front desk in the morning that the smoke alarm in the ceiling was pulled way down & covered with a plastic bag, the woman said that "if it bothered me", I could change rooms. I told her I'd rather just check out & never return.

You can hear the same noise from the trucks that you listen to from the building systems. And the service from the staff inspired the naming of the infection!! And now they require that I write more to satisfy the review?
