Pets

Motel 6 is the original pet friendly hotel chain, welcoming travelers and their pets since 1962.

Animals that pose a health or safety risk may not remain on-site, and include those that, in our managers’ discretion, are too numerous for any one room, cause damage to our property or that of other guests, are too disruptive, are not properly attended, or demonstrate undue aggression.

Animals that assist the disabled, known as “Service Animals,” are always welcome. Like pets, however, any Service Animal that poses a health or safety risk may not remain on-site.

All pets and Service Animals must be declared at check-in. This is very important because it provides our staff with key information about the occupants of each room.

Due to safety concerns for our employees and your pet, we will not service a room with an unattended pet. All rooms at Motel 6 should be serviced every day (or every other day upon request) to maintain health and cleanliness standards. With extended stays at Motel 6, rooms should be serviced twice per week. If your unattended pet prevents our staff from servicing your room, you may be asked to vacate the property.

In consideration of all guests, pets must be attended to and under control at all times. Pets should not be left alone in a room or automobile. If unavoidable circumstances require a pet to remain in a room while the owner is off site, the pet must be secured in a crate or travel carrier on your service day to avoid injury or damage.

Pets must be on a leash or securely carried outside of guest rooms and under control at all times.

Please be considerate of other guests when walking pets on the property and clean up after your pet.

If your pet or Service Animal does not comply with any of the above guidelines, you may be asked to vacate the property with or without a refund.

Make sure and check for designated pet areas.

Reservations

Please contact the Front Desk or call 800-466-8356 for future individual or group reservations, or to reserve conference rooms.

Rollaway Beds

A limited number of rollaway beds are available on a first come, first served basis. Please contact the Front Desk to request one.

Smoking Policy

Smoking is permitted in designated rooms only. Guests who smoke in a nonsmoking room will incur a $150 deep cleaning fee. Recreational marijuana is not permitted.

Swimming Pool

Our Swimming Pool is open from 9am to 10pm. Your room key card will allow you access to the pool area. There are no lifeguards on duty, and children under the age of 18 are not permitted in the pool area unless accompanied by an adult. Towels are available poolside, please leave them when you are done. Alcohol or pets are not allowed in our pool area for your safety.

Safety & Security

Telephone

Emergency: Dial 9 + 911.

Housekeeping: Dial 0 for the Front Desk.
Outside Calls: Dial 9 + number. There is no charge for local or toll-free numbers. Long distance calling is not available.

Traveler Safety

Do not admit anyone into your room without first verifying his or her identity. All doors are provided with peep holes. If you are unsure of someone claiming to be a hotel employee, call the Front Desk for verification before allowing entry.
Hotel staff members will never call your room and ask for credit card numbers or other sensitive information. Please notify the Front Desk if you receive such a call.
Do not leave cash or other valuables in your room or vehicle.
Always use all locking devices on the door. Before leaving your room, double check that windows and door are all securely locked.
Keep your room key card with you at all times. Do not leave it unattended in your room or elsewhere.
Report any suspicious activity that you observe to the management.

Fire Safety

Upon checking in, locate the 2 nearest exits and the nearest fire alarm. Count the number of doors between them and your room, so that you can find your way in the event of smoke or darkness.
If you hear an alarm or smell smoke, act immediately; don’t just investigate.
To report a fire, dial 9, wait for a dial tone, then dial 911. Be sure to give your room number. Next, call the Front Desk by dialing 0. Then go to the door. If it is hot, do not open it. Turn off the fan or air conditioner. Cover the crack at the bottom of the door with wet towels, fill your bathtub with water, and signal from your window. Do not break the window or jump from it. Cover your mouth and nose with a folded wet towel. Wait to be rescued.
If the door is not hot, and there is no dense smoke in the corridor, take your key card, lock the door behind you and head for the nearest exit. Pull nearest fire alarm if possible. If there is some smoke, crawl; the freshest air is near the floor. Proceed quickly but calmly. Do not panic.

Earthquake Safety

If you feel any shaking:

Drop, cover and hold on: drop down to the floor as soon as you perceive an earthquake has started — drop down before the earthquake drops you down. Then seek shelter under a desk or table. Crouch down on your knees so that you can move with the table. Hold on to the table leg(s) so you can keep the table over you.
If there is no nearby desk or table: sit on the floor against an inside wall, away from windows, tall furniture or bookcases. Draw up your knees, bend your head toward your knees. Protect your head and neck with your arms.
Go outside once the shaking stops. Make sure you are wearing sturdy shoes before leaving the building. If possible take valuables and medications. Avoid touching downed power lines. If access to exit doors is blocked by earthquake damage, wait for a rescue team.

TSUNAMI SAFETY

If you are at the beach or near the ocean and you feel the ground shake or see rapidly rising or falling coastal water levels, move immediately to higher ground and stay there until local authorities say it is safe to return. DO NOT wait for a warning to be announced. If the tsunami is caused by a remote earthquake or volcanic eruption, you will be alerted by a siren, radio or television broadcasts, local first responders and/or an alarm at the hotel.

Often the first wave may not be the largest. The danger from a tsunami can last up to 12 hours after the arrival of the first wave. Tsunamis move faster than a person can run, and can be 30 feet high or higher; sometimes much higher. Never stay near shore to watch a tsunami come in.
