Review Motel 6 #1050 Six Flags East: Late Night Rudeness, Otherwise Good
When we checked in it was late so the regular lobby was closed. The woman who checked us in was rude, very curt, and clearly did not want me there. She seemed to get angry with me for not knowing what she wanted before she told me and for giving her too much information. She became upset and frustrated when I provided a printout of the confirmation e-mail instead of my ID even though she hadn’t asked for ID. She seemed very put out by the fact that I couldn’t read her mind. The rest of the check in process consisted of her snapping orders at me. We didn’t bother asking for information or a second room key because we just didn’t want the confrontation she was so off-putting. Not once did she say ‘please’ and the only “thank you” I got was at the end when she made it very clear she was happy she wouldn’t have to deal with me anymore, so proper manners would have been better.
That said, the person who helped us check out was very polite.
The pool was small but clean and cool which is ideal for warmer weather but not so great at the end of the day.
It’s somewhat within walking distance to the Six Flags if you’re feeling adventurous. There’s a McDonald’s across the highway but no direct pedestrian access so you’ll still want to drive to it.
They have someone patrolling the parking lot at night which is reassuring.
The room itself is your standard Motel 6 offering, clean and perhaps a bit more spacious than usual.
