Just another story to tell you about regarding the famous Motel 6 chain. I am from Reno and I traveled to Riverside California and stayed at the Motel 6 South. I arrived at the motel and was told that my room would not be ready until 5:00 p.m. and that I would just have to wait! The young girl was very rude and I told her that there was no way I was going to wait 7 hours for a room that I had reserved a month in advance. After me and a very angry mob of guests crowded the front desk she started calling all of the lazy housekeepers who were on a smoke break every15 to get us some rooms. When I finally got my room it smelled of smoke, urine, and animal dung. I was so furious that I just laid down and got some rest and headed out to Fontana Raceway the next morning for the Popsecret 500. After the awesome race, I returned to my room and the smell about killed me, so I got curious and pulled all of the covers completely off the bed and discovered that the entire mattress was covered in blood!!! Someone had obviously been shot or died on that mattress. Upon seeing this I realized why the carpet and bathroom floor was stained brown. I immediately took pictures and went down to the office. I complained my head off and finally at 11:30p.m. Sunday the young girl at the counter gave me back my money for that night only. Just the thought of knowing that I had slept on that mattress the night before made me nauseous. Because of the race/Laborday weekend there wasn't a hotel in the 100 mile radius in my price range so I had to just head home a day early and sleep in my car! Whole weekend ruined. When I complained on the motel 6 website, all I got was a cheezy apology and that's it!! They didn't even care!! I would love to show these pictures to the public!! and let them judge for themselves. Lacy, Reno, Nv.

Carpet was separated where it meets bathroom floor. I had stubbed my toe on the carpet bar twice because it was lifted up. I imagine someone's animal did this or it's just years of Motel 6 neglect and poor management and housekeeping.

Whole dried blood spots on the floor!

Blood stained floor! The flash kind of buffered the picture, but the floor looked bad all over.

White stuff is mold! If you look where the mattress and boxspring meet, you can see dried body fluid!!

My mattress! Nasty, huh? The pix don't do justice! Believe me, the room looked way worse in person.
