Motel 6 Hotels in Ontario

I was traveling for business. Having stayed at this Days Inn previously and discovered it to be the best Value with easy highway access and easy non highway travel (LA closes the highways randomly.) so always plan alternate routes.

If you've read some of the reviews below you'll realize this isn't the grandest of places -- especially if you want to sleep with train tracks right next door and heavy trains loudly going past. I had a negative experience with the owner, Nero, that just goes to show how elements of customer service or decency have gone out the window. I made a mistake and doublebooked this motel and another one for the same night. In fact, I wanted to stay at the other place the first night and then drive down here for the following night. It was my fault -- I was tired and booked the same night twice. The Choice booking system did not stop a duplicate reservation. I phoned Choice Motels to ask if I could do a deal: I was prepared to pay for the night I really wanted but, if I did that, could I swap the wrongly booked night for a subsequent (second) night if the place wasn't sold out? I wasn't planning to stay in this location an extra night, but if this could be arranged the hotel wouldn't lose any money -- just allocate a room that would have otherwise gone empty to replace the one I'd erroneously paid for -- and would gain the payment for the night I actually wanted! (so I would be staying two nights and paying two nights). Choice customer service found my request reasonable and phoned the motel for me, but they said the owner needed to be contacted. So I emailed him and got a negative response. It's true: he was entitled to keep the money for the night I erroneously booked and did not have to do anything, but he could have cooperated at no cost to himself while still having two nights revenue for the two nights stayed. The owner's cold attitude indicates a form of greed that is highly unattractive and makes a stay at his property even less desirable than indicated by many other reviewers below. I'd recommend staying elsewhere, especially the very nice Comfort Inn Suites Ontario, also part of Choice Hotels, and that I've found offers fantastically good service as well as a friendly customer-oriented environment.

We booked a King Suite, Corner room in mid-August in order to attend an event at the Convention Center. We had mixed feelings about this hotel (this applies to this stay only as previous stays have been wonderful), so, I'll break it out between the good and the bad. The Good: - The room was spacious - The King corner suite was quiet. Unlike other hotels in the area, we were unable to hear other guests moving around or talking. Nor were we able to hear any noise from the hallways (unlike the Holiday Inn or the Azure). - It had two vanities (key when I travel with my daughter) - The room contained two refrigerators (great for storing waters and snacks) - A nice desk and small dining table were provided in the room; so, places to sit were plentiful. - There were two closets which was great (particularly when traveling with my daughter) - The bathroom had a LARGE spa tub and a walk-in shower. Both were very much appreciated as with my bad knee, I cannot easily use a shower/tub combo. - The hotel provided little shampoos, conditioners, lotions, etc. which were very nice. - The staff was very friendly - we interacted with the front desk, the lobby bar, the breakfast restaurant and the lobby Starbucks. Everyone was professional and friendly. - The food and drinks were very good (we ate at the lobby bar and the breakfast restaurant off of the lobby). - The restrooms off of the lobby were immaculate. The Bad: - The room's cleanliness left a bit to be desired and maid service was not provided during our stay (we checked in on a Thursday and didn't leave until Sunday). There were stains and drips on the wall paper and the carpeting felt sort of grimy. However, the bedding appeared very clean. - We were only provided with a 1/2 roll of toilet paper for our stay (two women). We actually had to call the front desk to be brought toilet paper. - The television had issues and kept reverting to the guest screen. - The bathtub's stopper would not stay in place. - The decor in the room was extremely outdated and the carpeting could only be described as YEECH! - The hotel entrances closest to our room were not disabled friendly (I have a bad knee / ankle and stairs can be an issue). To find an entrance that did not include a flight of stairs (not kidding), we had to park a considerable distance from our room. This was extremely disappointing in this day and age especially when I booked a room with a walk-in shower. - There was no ability to look at the charges from the room; nor was there an in-room checkout procedure. One needs to actually go down to the lobby, stand in line and wait. Technology is obviously not a priority at this hotel. - This is minor, but it would've been nice if there were electric charging stations for vehicles; particularly when they charge $15 per car per night. - There was only 1 tiny waste basket in the bathroom (none in the kitchen or bedroom area) and 1 tiny recycling basket (we do appreciate the recycling efforts) by

4 day stay and visit was during covid so extra steps taken to ensure safety of staff and guest. Temperature and questioner done at check in and hand sanitizer by elevator.. Staff friendly, hotel lobby, hallways and rooms very clean. Rooms spacious with microwave and refrigerator, plenty of plugs for electronics. Just a few minutes from airport, restaurants and shopping. Outside clean and well lite at night.. Overall great stay and would stay again.

Clean rooms well maintained. The whole property is well maintained. Friendly staff always offering help. Great variety of items for breakfast that is hot and fresh. Clean pool area with fresh towels. Excellent parking available for all rooms.

Overall, this property looks lovely on the outside, but is in desperate need to be updated inside. Arrival: The hotel website states that the hotel does not offer a shuttle, So after paying $15 for the short ride from Ontario Airport, we pull into the porte-cochere where the Holiday Inn shuttle van is parked. So there is a shuttle available, but it only runs very limited hours in the morning. You are on your own if your flight leaves after noon. Lobby: From my observation, the front desk staff is often in the nearby office, as there is no one behind the desk. The hotel has a small sundry area where you can purchase overpriced sodas and water ($3.50), snacks, candy. However you cannot charge the items to your room and must use a credit card on a self-checkout kiosk. We had arrived early in the day, knowing that our rooms would be several hours away from being ready. While waiting in the lobby for a room to become available, I was hoping to complete some work on my laptop. But the property would not allow me WiFi access until I could check in. Considering that I'm have IHG Premium Elite status, this seems like the least they could offer. Restaurant: Again -only Credit Cards accepted. You cannot do a room charge in the hotel's only restaurant. Limited breakfast menu - we ate upon our early arrival. When our rooms were ready and we check in, we were informed that the restaurant would not be open for dinner on Sunday and Monday - the two nights of our stay. Yet when you enter the elevators, they are adorned with advertisement for their restaurant/food offerings. Hallways: Very worn, carpets looked dirty and on our floor, the 4th, you could see what appears to be construction markings through the paint/wallpaper. It looked like faint black marker with room numbers or other symbols - is the paint so thin it didn't cover these up??? Room: The room was generally fine, although the furnishings did appear to be dated. The worst thing though was the air conditioner,. This was the loudest air conditioner I've ever heard -- sounded like the compressor of a large commercial freezer. The television offers several channels, but there are no instructions on how to access them and the remote doesn't have a numerical keypad, so you must use an up/down key to find the channel you want. Towels: As mentioned by others, the towels reminded me of the awful ones they used to give us to use after gym class in high school 30+ years ago.

i drove 7 hours from Arizona to get to this hotel that my company already booked and paid for in advance to be told that i need my boss present to present his id and card....... also told me i wouldnt be able to get a room because we have to re book 72 hours in advance.... i sat around for 2-3 hours til my boss from ontario could arrive to present his id and card..... very unprofessional because ive stayed here last month and did not have any of these issues. the front desk did not give two F***s that i was basically stranded in another state with nowhere to stay. after driving 7 hours and sitting 2-3 hours. you would think if you have people staying that are coming from out of state you would provide necessary information so that we are not stuck. after my boss showed up i finally got this room to walk into a dirt ball room with ants everywhere and just dirty. the wifi is probably the worst wifi ive ever experienced in a hotel. the fact that they call this complimentary wifi is almost disrespectful. i work a lot from my computer and i need good connection to be able to work. as i am writing this review in the hotel room looking at my wifi signal with 1 -2 bars max and thats how the wifi has been this whole week. for the hassle and stress i was put through i would book another hotel that would actually give you the service and respect that you pay for. the fact that the front desk said i wouldnt be able to book anything cause for 72 hours and their manager left was ridiculous. basically telling me to f*** off. i remained respectful and calm throughout all of their crap. you need to be teach your employees to cater to repeat customers... ive been here many times and my history will show it... and shows everytime my company paid with the same payment method... they had me wait 3 hours because lack of skill, lack of knowleadge, lack of customer service. And they were okay with letting me sleep in my car because their process is wrong is the reason they will get a bad review today. if you do make a reservation here and pay online make sure that these people provide you with all the right documents you will need especially if your company is paying for the room. make sure you bring insect killer and plenty of sanitizer to clean the dirty rooms. also their is free breakfast included but i wasnt aware of it until my last night here and none of the employees let me know of this i had to kind of force myself into the free breakfast. its time people do their job the right way it amazes me how employees can destroy a business's name and reputation because of their poor level of skill and care. And on the side of this damn building their are about 100 bumble bees flying around the side of the building if i didnt see it in advance it would have been pretty bad. ive never seen this many bees hovering around the garden on the side of the building before.

Worst hotel ever stayed in when we first got there it didn't even have my room ready so we had to come back in an hour that was no big deal so we came back they put us in this room with no bathroom door no privacy or anything the door locks on the door looks like someone been broken into all jacked up holes in the ceiling water spots all over the ceilings you can see underneath the door where the seal is was cut off I went back to the lady and I asked to be in to Don the room and she gave me such attitude and I literally gave her attitude back very disrespectful girl her name is May or whatever how you spell it did they put us in a room upstairs little better but still it stinks like old dirty people water spots in the walls the bathroom is nice that's only thing about it the bed sucked pillows flat way uncomfortable I woke up hurting while I was gone NASCAR race they came into the room took my food and threw it away didn't make the bed I get this hotel I like complete zero the workers lack of respect they need to be fired except one lady that she helped us she was pretty great I would not recommend this hotel for anybody this hotel needs to be closed down or have better management screw this stupid Hotel
