Motel 6-Salem OR

Negatives: Ok , I know there is a big homeless problem in this country , whether it is due to un employment or drug usage or other addictions ! but at this motel , there seemed to be homeless people milling around everyplace ! We got there around 10:15 pm on 02/26/24 , I took our dog out and noticed there were people out in back of the rooms smoking things ( pretty sure they were not cigarettes ) ! We got put off by the nite clerk for about 10 minutes upon arrival due to an issue that I was told was more important ! As I was waiting for the nite clerk to come back , The local police did a drive thru the parking lot , looking around like they were looking for someone ! When the clerk came back and we got all checked in and given our room key , and we were only given one room key , ( because they did not have enough to give anybody the usual two room keys ) and after taking the dog out for the nite , we went to room 116 ( where we were told to go by the clerk ) , the key did not work so I went back to complain , and by this time , they had placed a sign in the window stating that there were no more vacancies ( basically the sign said " go away , but in nice wording ) ! So I laid on the nite bell and finally someone came to the window and I told them the key did not work , they re programed it and now told us to go to room 111 because room 116 had a smell in it ! And also When I went back to complain about the room key not working , I inquired about the wifi password , and was told it was not working which has never happened before at this motel , and I was also told to let them know that if I needed a microwave , to let them know ! Anyway , We parked by the room and took our stuff out of the car , and immediately as soon as I opened the door , we were hit square in the face by the strong smell of cigarette smoke in the supposedly clean room , and for people like my wife and me , who do not smoke by the way , that should never have happened , !

Negatives: Everything!! Homeless out side my door. Partying and making lots of noise. No microwave or fridge. Place smelled like old musty socks. Worst experience ever I've had in a hotel. Many hotel 6 I'd give a 5 star compared to this hole. Not recommended to anyone.

Negatives: A lot of drug users hanging around the parking lot.

Negatives: Nothing
