I stayed here previously in an upstairs room and it was great very clean. However this time I stayed in a downstairs room and it smelled so strongly of mold that I had a hard time sleeping! The laminated floors were swelling up from moisture damage. I noticed that the shower curtain is not low enough so it lets a lot of moisture on the floor so maybe that is the culprit.

I reserved a two-night stay 30 days ahead of time for an ADA room I called that 4:00 p.m. on check in day to make sure they don't give away my handicap room they said it will be fine when I get there in the evening I arrived at 9:00 p.m. was given a key for what I thought was a handicap room there was no handicap parking there was no grab rails in the bathroom the toilet was a low toilet this was not a handicap room and had many roaches. It was a long walk from the nearest parking space we crunched on roaches as we stepped into the room, funky smell prostitutes were strolling up and down in front of the motel and there were people in the parking lot walking between the cars looking in the windows I told the manager he Shrugged his shoulders and said call the police I just wanted my money back and to get out of there. It's a shame because I have not had the experience in the majority of Motel 6

Motel 6 San Rafael Ca
This motel is dumb. I requested a ground floor room. I can walk stairs in due to a handicap. That was notified at time of booking. When I check in at the front desk. I was informed that bottom floor would be more money. This is discrimination and against the disability act. The front desk clerk was rude and unwilling to help. The TV in th TVq e room. HOTEL.COM should not represent this propert. Will never stay there against C
