Motel 6 Windsor Locks, CT - Hartford

there were drug deals going on in the parking lot. I once stayed in a hotel that there were cops pursing an active warrant in because it was the cheapest option, and I was okay with it. I was not okay with this hotel. Someone also knocked on my door at 1AM. I am fine with a prank, but it felt scary here.

Awful our first room was disgusting, the door looked like it had been kicked in and the lock was broken, the room bellow is has a dog lead tied up to the ground and it looked like they lived there permanently. It smelled like smoke, the sheets were stained and had food crumbs and hair all in them, the towels had red stains and the toilet seat had black mold on it, we asked to change rooms and it was still only marginally better, smelled of rotting pee so bad we had to turn off the AC as that’s where the smell was coming from, we almost slept in our rental car as it was too late at night to get a new hotel. Just awful worst motel I’ve ever been. save your money and health and do not stay here

One of the dirtier motel 6's I have stayed at. Would pick the one in Enfield over this anytime

Run down. TV remote does not work. Blanket put on under the sheet. No comfortable chair to sit on. Ragged and threadbare towels. sink drain broken. But good water pressure.

Staff was very helpful and accommodating us with our two pets was simple and easy. Transportation to airport was great and quick. Room was clean, some tiny dark spots on bed cover was found, but did not bother our stay.

First room assigned turned out to be already occupied. Next room was OK except for a strange odor. Could hear multiple dogs barking, but they stopped by 10 PM. Airport shuttle was prompt and left on time at 3:50 AM.

This was not a good experience. The hotel was run down and shoddily kept. There were twnents partying and drinking in the parking lot until 2am. I was severely disappointed. The low price is a warning not a deal. The rooms were clean but there were issues with bugs. I won't make this mistake again.

Great

I stayed for two nights in two different rooms - the second night because it was too late to cancel without a fee. One room had pillows that stank of the sweat of the previous patrons, even through the washed pillowcases. I had to improvise a pillow from a bunch of my clothes wrapped in a towel in order to be able to fall asleep. There was a syringe hidden in the headboard. The second room (on the ground floor) had the front door deformed, apparently from somebody trying to kick it in; inside, the door to the bathroom had holes from foot kicks, there was soot on the ceiling and a cockroach. On the positive side, plumbing worked in both rooms and the sheets/towels were clean (but see above for the pillows). This is what you get for 10-20 bucks less than the next-cheapest motel in this airport area - probably OK for a single male who needs a place to crash and is unconcerned about safety, but definitely not a family-friendly stay.

What a dump! SWF traveling alone, no dead bolt lock. The toilet was clogged from the first flush. Sleep in your car. It’s not worth it!! This is the type of motel that has permanent residents. Dogs tied up outside and barking. It’s rundown and unkept. Do better M6

Cockroaches. Sketchy people living here long term.

Cockroaches. Poor people live here long term; they are loud and sketchy.

There were huge holes in the bathroom door. It did not look welcoming and it made me feel so uncomfortable I ended up leaving.

Bed was not very comfortable. Pool looks unkempt. I know it’s not pool season but makes the property look run down.

Flies everywhere, people living on the compound and outside was filled with people and animals. The property is ran down and in desperate need of an upgrade.

I get that its a budget motel but even with that in mind this was a horrible stay. The handicap spots are crumbling making it a major safety hazard for those who are most vulnerable to mobility and safety issues. I requested a first floor room due to difficulty with stairs but was given one on the second floor. Once we eventually got to the room we opened the door and immediately we're blasted with a HORRIBLE stench. Both my son and I have asthma and allergies and we instantly started having issues. Went to see if there was a different room and we're told they were fully booked. Only offered air freshener. Tried to make it work but I struggled breathing all night and barely got any sleep. The bed was horrible, floors were sticky, blood in the sink, toothpaste on the dresser under the TV, ony two horrible pillows and no extra pillows or blankets. The had the fitted sheet, then the blanket then a top sheet and a thin bed spread. Felt like bugs were crawling on us all night and had bites on me. The lights and outlets on the sides of the bed weren't working and the headboard was broken, only one towel for 2 people. Only one light in the corner ceiling for the entire room. Fan was obnoxiously loud, toilet super low and bathroom was tiny. Door didn't close or lock fully. We checked out earlier just to get out of there. Will not be staying here again. My back and neck is still not the same since sleeping there.

Pro: Close to the airport Con: Dirty, noisy, dogs allowed to bark and deficate wherever they wanted, rooms dirty, door was bent, people hanging around outside the rooms with loud music

The room was very clean and has recently been remodeled. It was quiet and I slept well overnight, as the room I stayed in had a quiet air conditioner. I've been staying at this motel for years when I visit the Big E, and like it because of the price and location. I did have a couple of issues on this occasion: for some reason, the beds were made with the blanket in between the two sheets instead of on top of the two sheets. I told the staff about this (and also requested clean sheets) and they told me "they make them all the same". I had to completely remake the bed and it was already late. The phone in the room was disconnected & the cord was missing (I don't use it anyways), The plug for the air conditioner was loose and coming out of the wall. I told him about these things when I checked out. Overall, I still like Motel 6 I think it's a very good place to stay. I will continue to stay there when I go on trips in the area. I do think they need to be a little more thorough with housekeeping as well as for checking issues with equipment.

Room was sparse and there was no service to room. Parking is affected by airport parking and hotel appears to have residents. It was clean and convenient. Desk employees were willing to help with any issues. Just seemed a bit dated. Definitely convenient to airport
