Hotel Review: Motel 6 @ Whitney Field (Leominster, MA)

  • My friend Samuel came from Western Massachusetts to visit me for a couple of days, and he chose to stay at the Motel 6, located next to Denny's at The Mall at Whitney Field, Leominster, Massachusetts.
    This motel has location going for it. It's about 40 miles from Boston, you have a bunch of restaurants nearby, as well as the mall. Only challenges getting to them is the traffic. Speaking of, the parking lot is confusing. The arrows dictate traffic flow, not entry or exit. I and others chased down a non-existing exit out of here (Sam is witness to another doing the same thing).
    One big problem going for this motel that was inherited from the previous owners (Souse Chalet, if I recall), are drugs and prostitution. Doesn't help that riots happen at Denny's next door once in awhile either (late night).
    One thing I noticed was a large band of handicapped spaces in front of the 2nd building along one side. This had us looking for elevators, which are not in this motel. You're stuck with a lower level room in that case. This place was built before ADA laws (late 60s or very early 70s), so it's understandable.
    They do have a room with everything for guests, with laundry, soda and snack machines, and ice machines. All in one room. Weird, but works. The check-in Lobby is just a small room, and being that Sam and I got dirty looks from the staff (consider the crime issues, for I understand this), so we get a sharp angle look inside from the windows.
    Outside areas has a nice swimming pool. It's covered and furniture removed. It looks awful here, but when set up, it's quite nice. (there's photos elsewhere, including satellite Google Maps imagery). They also have a nice "Park" between the buildings. In the Summer, it must look really nice, plus a little work on the greenery can help a little.
    Then comes the room and public areas, and downhill we go.
    Later shown, the stairwells are not well kept, and they McGyver ways to keep it intact, and the signage next to Sam's room lad a leak, so they sprayed tar on the leak, never painted it. This is a sign of things to come.
    The rooms were redone since a promotional video make by the company itself. Gone are the CRT televisions and green carpets, in come the flat-panels and the hardwood floors. The floors look nice, but add an echo to the room. There's no soft materials to absorb sound.
    Security isn't the best, but works. The deadbolt is fine, the card reader locks work, and the security ball latch looks broken, but does the job. Could need a little work.
    The HVAC was interesting. The system's control panel was dead, but on the opposing wall was a new electronic thermostat which controls it. It's interesting how the old unit was retro-fitted to work with the new thermostat, but it does work, just was unexpected. It also has a sliding window that's screwed shut, but with the HVAC unit, you don't need it, but the track could use cleaning.
    Amenities are ultra-basic, but it's a low-cost motel (About $70/nt at time of recording), so it's expected. The chairs are just laminate "wood", and appear to be a joke, but are surprisingly comfortable! Looks can be deceiving

    Bottom line with motels: If it has a bed at a decent price that’s relatively comfortable, clean and that I don’t have to share with critters, I’m OK with it.

    the room doesn't look too bad. I like the wooden chair. If you think about it, it's probably much cleaner and easier to keep clean compared to the usual old cushion chairs most motels have.

    It's a real shame the fate of motels these days. I am old enough to remember when privately owned motels were clean, cozy places. Names like "Sam's Auto Court"....Land-O-Nod Motel, The Knotty Pine Motel etc. Every year my family would "drive" one thousand miles (and back) to visit my grand parents. We stayed in all kinds of cool motels. Some were only 10 unit Motels and always had a big soft drink machine right outside the Check-in office. Many had a "Diner" next door and you could get a decent breakfast or lunch. This was the golden age of car travel. Back then motels were a safe, comfortable harbor after a day of driving 500+ miles. OK I can hear you saying "when the hell was this?"........would have been 1950s to about the 1970s.

    I was a Motel 6 Regional QC Manager over 30 years ago. I must say, the quality of people that frequent and use Motel 6's has dropped considerably. It is this way all over the country. Yes, the United States of America has gone to the birds...

  • @Bobrogers99
    @Bobrogers99 4 года назад +3

    The only glaring flaw was the gross microwave, and the rest was just very basic and a bit tired. And maybe the housekeeper should wear a hairnet. I would definitely appreciate that bare floor, since hotel/motel carpeting can be scary. I've stayed in worse places and paid a lot more.

    Do not rent a room at the Avalon motel in Saugus Massachusetts.
    Someone broke into my nieces room and stole money.
    They didn’t care. There are no microwave ovens to heat your food and there are mice there.
    The Avalon motel is a bad place.

    Motel 6 is simply the worst chain of motels you can go to! This one and one in Springfield I have been to and they are in the worst conditions out of any motel I have ever been to in my life! My parents found drugs under a bed once at the one in Leominster years ago! In Springfield back in 2012 me and my family were staying the night there for an air show the following morning and I cannot tell you how many spiders I saw! I will never visit these chain of motels ever again, me including my family lothe Motel 6!
