I have never been treated so disrespectfully by the office management. I was there to attend Coachella and booked through Expedia. Unfortunately most of the options were already booked. Nevertheless, I expected better service. We were given a room close to the office. After the first day of Coachella, we returned to the motel surrounded by police. Apparently one of the guests had stolen merchandise and the officers needed to break down the door at the room next to ours to try to apprehend the criminals. Unfortunately our room key did not work and I had to retreave a replacement key as all the drama unfolded around us. Aside from that incident, since the property is next to train tracks, it was extremely challenging to sleep through the night.
To make matters even worse, the motel charged me twice (on my credit card) at a rate of $697/night for a single bed room. I told the office manager that Expedia had quoted and confirmed the total cost at $848 total for all 3 nights. She responded that she arbitrarily decided to raise the room rate higher than Expedia’s contracted rate and this was permissible at her discretion, given the high demand. I contacted Expedia and they said she was not permitted to do that and I would have to challenge the charges with my credit card company. I was shocked at this kind of clearly fraudulent and illegal activity. Each time I called the motel 6 office and asked for the manager, she would not come to the phone for at least 15-20
