Motel 6 Wethersfield, CT - Hartford

This hotel was so runned down, the outside appearance was very old and needed updating. You should not recommend a hotel where people live there, not a good appearance seeing people leaning over railings. We would never have stayed there if we knew that the majority of the hotel was people living there. They give you a white slip saying the duration of the trip and said make sure you leave it on the dash or they will tow your car. Came home from the golf tournament yesterday soak and wet and forgot to put the slip back on the dash, we had to take it off for the defroster. My husband came out this morning to put our luggage in the car and our car was gone. We were so upset and thought it was stolen. We went to the office to report it and call the cops and the woman at the desk asked if we had the paper on the dash and it dawned on us we forgot to put it back on. Ended up costing us $40 for a taxi and $180 for the tow. The rooms were ok, bathroom shower curtain smelled like sweat, floors probably hadn’t been washed in ages. We did not feel safe there at all. I would never ever go there again. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Worst place we ever stayed. Was rated 7.0, not even worth a 1 or 2. I would highly recommend not to stay there!

Not as advertised in pictures

When arriving receptionist could not find reservation. Requested non-smoking room and room wreaked of cigarette smoke. Would not stay here again.

This property was worn, but clean and quiet. There was some wear and tear in the bathroom, but nothing outrageous. Definitely a good cheap place to stay. There is a Mobil station and Red Lobster directly across the road, and plenty of shops of all kinds on the main road to either side of the motel. Staff was efficient and friendly, with a quick check in/out.

Clean and comfortable beds.

There was no sign of the hotel. Cops were parked outside of where WAZE said the hotel was at but I could not see a sign that stated that was the hotel. I drove around the block a few times and still could not find it. While I drove around the neighborhood seemed dangerous. I had to leave and find another hotel.

Stayed at room while volunteering at the Traveler's Golf Tournament. Room had dirty, sticky floor, only one towel, no hangers, toilet seat was filthy and the sink faucet was falling off. Upon checking in a parking pass was given to me to put on the dashboard of my car. Was asked if anyone else was joining me with a car as they would need a pass also. Well dressed men interrupted my check-in twice asking for keys to rooms which were swiftly provided to them by the clerk behind the counter. At the time I was not sure what was going on and why they were attended to so quickly. It appears that the hotel was being used as a hub for Pimps arranging business hookups with call girls. Witnessed men with questionably dressed women in parking lot going to rooms. Found out later, twice in the middle of the night, that without a pass, cars were being towed. Tow truck's beeping sounds woke me up twice as cars were carted away. I am assuming clients of hookers were not getting parking passes and their cars were being towed, providing a lucrative business for the tow truck company. Everything about this place was shady. I chose to leave after two nights and found somewhere else to stay. I have never had such a bad experience. This place should have a 1 rating.

Absolutely worst place we have ever stayed

It was great for the price.

It was dirty, so many burn holes in the very thin comforter. Microwave hadn’t been cleaned in months and there was gum stuck on the floor. Had one full towel for a 2 person 2 night stay and we weren’t given more. Just an awful stay all around and we’ve spoken to this app and they offered me 25 in one key cash. I’d expect better or more. I was asked to be relocated and you guys said a manager couldn’t be reached as if that’s our problem. So nothing was done for us during our stay and we use this app a lot. Customer service is subpar at best

If that wasn't bad enough, the people in the next room were blaring their TV and arguing all night. I don't even want to know what they were up too, but it made us feel unsafe all night. When we were finally able to fall asleep we woke up to them screaming and SLAMMING their door multiple times around 5am. When I tried to bring these concerns up to the woman at checkout she was dismissive and clearly didn't care to hear about it.

The room had bugs infesting. They were on the pillows, flying around the room, and falling from the ceiling. There requires in the wall and ceiling, where plaster was also falling. The bathtub was dirty as well as the toilet. The floor had stains on it as well as the bedding.

Very handy for a quick stop while travelling up north. Plenty of places to eat and drink nearby.

The front office staff at check out and check in were very nice. So was the cleaning lady I met briefly. The property they maintain, however, needs serious attention. It was a homeless shelter masquerading as a hotel (no offense intended to the unhoused). The old lady in the room below me had her door wide open constantly. Possibly to keep an eye on the stray cat she cared for. The odor of marijuana (I don’t know local laws, either way it’s not my thing) coming from the corner room was so overpowering, you could smell it from several rooms away. My room was very musty. Every surface had either cigarette burns or mysterious stains or both. I was by myself for just one night so I toughed it out. I would never stay again. I do not recommend.

We wanted a place to crash under $200 a night and got it. We did sleep fine. New to Motel 6, but fair warning to those who pay around $200, there was NO soap, NO shampoo, NO shower liner, NO conditioner or lotion, and NO bath towels. There were 2 large hand towels instead of bath towels. We also had no comforter or duvet or bed cover, but there was a sheet and a thin-sheet-like blanket under the sheet. When we asked for bedding like other rooms had they said they didn’t have any more. The bed was def not a queen. The phone didn’t hook up and the tub didn’t drain, and staff just looked at me with no response when I told them, but the water WAS hot:) There was no one there for checkout despite knocking for a while and calling multiple times from my cell phone, and yes, I confirmed there was going to be a 24 hr clerk at the desk. We were not the only people knocking, but no luck. Look, we slept, and I brought my own shampoo so it was fine, but for the people paying $178 a night…maybe pay $20 more elsewhere and get things like bedding?

Bad

Bad

Everything was terrible. I asked for a non-smoking room. They gave me a smoking room that smells horrible. The bedsheets were burnt with cigarettes. The room was very dirty. I had to buy cleaning products myself and clean the bed and the bathtub myself. I’m a mathematic person and I had to sleep in the room smelling like cigarette. Everything was very terrible. I don’t recommend this hotel for anyone it’s disgusting. I asked for a new bedsheets and they couldn’t find any terrible terrible terrible. They need to close this motel. It’s disgusting. It’s horrible all above.

Rooms aren’t cleaned while you’re there unless you tell them. Laundry room is very convenient but expensive. They let dogs be dogs which is a big plus. Staff is friendly.

Be sure to keep your parking pass displayed. My rental car was towed. I took the pass down because I was traveling alone and did not want someone to follow me especially at night. My car was properly parked in an almost empty parking lot at the motel for the third night of my stay when it was towed. It had been parked for less than 8 hours. It cost $ 182.07 and a Lyft ride to get it back. A little common sense would have gone a long way. When I arrived there were someone’s belongings piled across from my doorway and a homeless person spent a couple of days and night sleeping on the stairway. I have stayed here before but will not ever stay again.
