Motel 6 Artesia, NM

Clean room and parking

Staff

Not bad, but not great. This is an older style Motel 6 so dont expect the new updated rooms. It was sufficient for a one night stay.

I stopped here for a night while on a solo roadtrip. It was slightly noisy but ultimately safe and comfortable enough. Good for a night or two. There was a somewhat odd smell in the bathroom and it is a little out dated/not the cleanest, but nothing that seems hazardous. Bedding was clean! AC works well (great for new mexico summer)

It was not clean, walls had mold.

There is really nothing to like about this motel. It sounds exaggerated but I am not bluffing. 1. During my stay, I had my 3-month-old and my dog with me. I was unfortunately called away due to a family emergency on a Friday which I was due for check out on Saturday. I had to have a friend of mine get my dog from the room, so I was out on time and the room was available. I also had to leave a small, enclosed trailer behind in the parking lot where I was told to part by the owner. 2. The owner called me on my drive back to the hotel on Saturday to pick up my trailer around 11:30 am MST, justifiably so. I explained that I had a family emergency and that I was currently on my way back to pick up the trailer. He then proceeded to tell me that there was dog hair in my room that they had to clean and that I should pay a cleaning fee despite the fact they claim to be a "pet friendly/free" motel. Yet, they are going to want to charge you for your dog doing natural dog things that they cannot control. I then offered to pay for one more night as my trailer was still in there parking lot and I would not be back until 8-9 pm and was perfectly fine with buying another night at the motel so I could simply grab my trailer when I got there and not even take up a room. He declined my offer and told me I needed to pick up my trailer in an hour or 2 and ended up hanging up on me before I could respond. 3. The owner calls me a second time around 1:30-2 pm MST. I answer the call; he explains once again that I need to get my trailer out of their parking lot. I then explain again that I am on my way back to pick it up, I just will not be back until 8-9 pm. He proceeds to tell me they had truck parking this entire time, yet he had physically walked out of his office and showed me where he wanted me to park. He calls me a 3rd time and I do not answer, so he leaves me a voicemail threatening to slash my tires. I had to have a male friend come with me back to the motel as I was not sure what I was walking into as a single female with a baby.

None

They’ve obviously done some work on what was a derelict motel. They’ve painted, put down laminate flooring, and installed new beds and furniture. However, the rooms smell. The first room smelled heavily of smoke so I requested a different room. The second room smelled musty but I didn’t want to try for a third room. I discovered the tv didn’t work nor did most of the lights so I decided to just shower and go to bed. The shower stall is tiny and only has a shower curtain to contain water. Very unusually for a motel, this one has no water saving faucets which is great as a consumer but bad for their water bill. The force of the water from the shower head in such a tiny space meant that when I opened the curtain after my shower, there was water on the floor. I wish these proprietors the best but they need to put a lot more money into renovations to bring the property up to a minimum standard.

a lot of bugs

A/C was off when I got there and it's on the back of the room, between the closet and the bathroom so took forever to get cool

The bedroom rails are sharp cause me and my gf to get hurt fast

There was dried snot on my shower curtain. Flies in room.

Good place to stay for a night at a very reasonable cost.

The mattress was very uncomfortable. Like sleeping on rocks.

Towels were staind. Staff was excellent! Room was old. $100 too much

Excellent place for a quick budget oriented stay. It was on the smaller side but clean and well maintained. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Dust and dirt would come into the room from the bottom of the door. A towel was needed in order to keep leaves and dirt from entering. There were also 2 dead roaches found in the restroom. Other than that it was a good stay.

“I had a great stay—clean rooms, friendly staff, and a perfect location. I’m especially grateful for the excellent customer service. After checking out, I accidentally left my laptop behind. Just minutes later, the owner called to let us know. When we returned, he made sure it belonged to me before handing it back. I truly appreciate the honesty and care—it made a big impression. I would definitely stay here again.”

It was good for a night. The train and the highway noise made it a little difficult to sleep. The room was clean and well maintained.

Simple, basic hotel with a clean room with hard flooring. Our deluxe room was spacious & had a fridge and small kitchenette. Had a good night's rest at this location. The outdoor trash near our room was full.
