Motel 6 Binghamton

I am not a fan of Motel 6 on the whole (I find the rooms to be depressing); however, I booked this one on the strength of the Trip Advisor recommendations and in most senses was not disappointed. The room was clean, which is my primary concern. We were lucky enough to get one that had been renovated. I like not having sticky carpeting and the bathroom was great! The bed was comfortable enough. Our only problem was that we requested a quiet room and I"m sure the very friendly desk staff thought she was putting us in that type of situation. However, she (or someone else) subsequently housed a large number of students in the rooms across from and adjoining ours and they were obviously having a terrific time! We called the desk and someone did come up in a timely manner and we could hear one young man's sincere apology, then the slamming of doors (ours had been renovated with a quiet close mechanism but theirs had not). Later, more laughing, screaming and general noise. I suppose we could have called again, but they eventually stopped and settled down and we did not take revenge when we left at 7:00 AM. I don't know if there's a solution to this kind of situation, but if you can figure that out, it would be helpful.

Floor had not been vacuumed and bathroom floor was also dirty. The price was high for the complete absence of any amenities. I requested a handicap accessible room when I booked, and I called the location to confirm, which they did, but in the morning I discovered the shower/tub had zero hand-holds. This made for a very difficult and dangerous shower. Overall it was a poor experience, we paid less the night before for a vastly better room with a full hot breakfast in a better part of town!

Overall I enjoyed the staff and the room but not all the construction on the roads. It makes it hard for somebody visiting to get around to see the sights. I did find a nice Italian restaurant down the road which I enjoyed. It was easier getting out of town then getting into town.. I'll leave it at that

Though our room was simple, with wood floors and no artwork, it was clean and seemed to be newly renovated. The parking lot was well lit and the staff was friendly. We forgot our shampoo and the main desk provided it with a smile. People were using the backyard barbeque for dinner and seemed to be enjoying the pleasant weather.

Check in was smooth, and the young lady behind the counter was very nice. We drove around to the back entrance to get to our room, and noticed several "rough" looking individuals milling around the parking lot and entrance. It was my wife, myself and 2 dogs. I got her and the dogs out of the van, and as soon as we walked into the motel hallway, we were hit with the overwhelming smell of marijuana. The room was clean, beds were okay. It was decent for a quick few hours sleep after driving all day. I would recommend maybe keeping an eye on your parking lot and doing something about ventilating the halls when they reek of cheap pot.
