I stayed at the Motel 6 in Asheville, North Carolina on Friday October 6, 2017. I have stayed here twice before and understood it to be a clean, nice place.

I was unaware that things had changed for the worse. I had not known that I had a smoking room. I wanted to change rooms but it was the last one, and I did not have the time or energy to find other accommodations. Not only did the room smell horrific, but all of my belongings still do three days later.

This is not the big deal, I understand smoking rooms are gross, and I could have checked to confirm it was non smoking. Whatever. Things got much much worse. The bed spread was disgusting, with stains, dirt, and even a cigarette burn hole in it, right up next to the pillows.

Classy. The bathroom was horrible. The tub had cigarette burns on the side. The wall around the shower head was covered with black mold, and crawled with tons of tiny bugs.

This is far more than a nuisance, but a public health hazard and you need to address this. There was what was most likely a blood smear on the light switch near the sink. I have uploaded pictures and a video showing all of this.

I would somebody to get in touch with me to explain how Motel 6 feels OK with taking my money to stay in a health hazard. I also want a full refund and assurance that your future guests will not be subject to such conditions.

Reason of review: Return, Exchange or Cancellation Policy.

Monetary Loss: $125.

Preferred solution: Full refund.

Location: 1415 Tunnel Rd, Asheville, NC 28805, USA

Wow! Oceanside, California! They must have charged you a pretty penny to stay there.

I too have stayed at the Motel 6 in Asheville, North Carolina. I fondly remember how it snowed the day that I was there in May of 1999.

Awesome! The room was OK, just like you remembered it being. But I moved to another motel across town that had discounted rates because of some really loud construction that was going on, and the rooms there were way way way much nicer for only like $5 or $10 more a night. Well worth the extra money.

I am particularly fond of Asheville, it is one of the coolest places I have ever been to and I look forward to going back there.

Thanks for the heads up about how the Motel 6 has gone downhill. I'll make sure not to stay there next time.

This is Carolina Mountain Dew. I wrote the above comment.

I was laying in bed thinking about it I remembered I got the year wrong. It was snowing on the day in May 2000 (not 1999) that I stayed there. I remember how it was unusually cool every day that I was there.

Probably because Asheville is in the mountains. I also remember that they had alot of real cool looking hippies over there as well.

This place sounds gross! However, if you stay, you pay. Their standards are so low and you really canโ€™t expect much from the cheapest places.

Guest

Did they ever refund your money or give you any credit?

Guest

If it were really as bad as you are making it out to be, you would have found another place to stay. It was your choice to stay in a "horrible" room. Like judge Judy says "if you eat the steak, you have to pay for it".

Um, Motel 6 is one of the nastiest hotels out there. Sounds like you paid for a room at Motel 6 but were expecting the quality of the Ritz Carlton. Take this as a learning experience.

What an idiotic reply. It doesn't matter how much was paid for the room.

It must meet basic standards for occupation. It sounds like these problems are common to the Motel 6 chain nationwide There is no pride of service or product. Corporate simply does not care. The best thing to do is avoid ever staying in any Motel 6.

Warn others.

Even contact tv and newspaper consumer rights reporters. A letter to the local chamber of commerce is also a good idea.

This what this is for, if you don't like it, you don't eat it and go to another site.
