Motel 6 Palm Springs CA East Palm Canyon

As part of our road trip in southern California, we stayed at the Motel 6 (east location) in Palm Springs California. Our friends recommended it to us based on the location and the value. We also pleased with the nice manager and staff. We met Calvin and Jesse on our visit and they were both friendly and helpful. We got some great recommendations from Jesse for food and activities to add to our itinerary during our visit. I would recommend, and will be back when we are in Palm Springs again.

Yes, remarkable, to put a 4 out of 5 for Motel 6 for me; however we felt safe, it was good maintained, easy parking, clean etc. Yes, it is Motel 6, however in case you want a decent bed and you are not much in your room, then consider it. Just one tip: bring a multi prong extension cord with you, as the number of outlets to charge something is very limited.

Arrived at 3pm checking and told room wouldn’t be ready for an hour. Place was not busy. Despite wait and half empty lot charged an extra $6 to park in it. Pittiful!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, I am in the middle of moving cross country, with a lot of luggage. So I had a lot of stuff with me and I couldn't keep moving from hotel to hotel since my family is coming down to help with the move. So I was basically stuck at the Motel 6 East for over three of the worst weeks of my life. I am disabled and I was traveling with my daughter, so like I said I couldn't move myself to another hotel with all of our belongings that we were traveling with. Let me begin with the rooms are filthy, you have to beg literally for room service which I'm lucky if it came three times while I was there for 3 weeks. It was unsafe, there were Tweakers outside our room at night, cop cars every evening, and the front desk would basically hang up on you when you call to complain. The exception of Jesse and Megan. Amber and the manager Calvin will absolutely useless. Rude, my bill was paid in cash on time upon rechecking in. They had no problems with me whatsoever, but they treat everybody that I spoke to with disrespect. The dog park area, is filled with broken glass beer bottles needles and crack pipes. They fling the laundry bags down from the second floor, that it almost hit my daughter by a foot. You need to go in the office everyday and ask for towels and 90% of the time there were no towels until after 4:00 p.m.. I understand it's a two-star hotel and I understand what you pay for, but I would rather be camping outside. When I asked the cleaning service to please clean under the beds because there was dust and tissues and water bottles under there from the first person, they said they do not do deep cleaning. So I needed to go under the bed to get something that rolled under there, and I was pricked by a hypodermic needle that caused me to bleed and hurt my back against the wall as I got up because the room is the size of a closet. I immediately went to the front office with the needle with my finger bleeding, and Jesse was very accommodating. I had to stay in the emergency room all night for blood work HIV and hepatitis, and they kept me over for two full days at Eisenhower Hospital just to make sure my tests came back negative. Upon returning to the hotel they requested that I leave because they did not want to reimburse me or give me any type of compensation. I spoke to corporate Melissa and Angelina they agreed to give me five more days at Motel 6 downtown. I refused. Because that does not make up for all the pain and testing and suffering and worrying that I'm going through right now waiting for my next round of blood tests. I am in the process of pursuing this matter with a solicitor. So if you do not want vagrants knocking on your door in the middle of the night looking for drugs, or people outside your room yelling screaming and fighting, I suggest you bypass this dump. Anyone can feel free to text me for additional information and photos. This just happened 3 weeks ago.

I don’t normally stay in Motel 6 but I was arriving late and had to leave at 330am for a flight so didn’t want to pay much for a more expensive hotel. This motel was basic but everything worked and was clean. Bed was comfortable. Internet was good. A little dated and didn’t try pool but overall pretty good for the price.
