Motel 6
Founded in 1962 by offering $6 per-night rooms, Motel 6, has never promised luxury. But the chain received poor marks in everything from upkeep to comfort in the CR survey, and only did remotely okay in the check-in category (where it received a neutral score). TripAdvisor reviewers in Fort Lauderdale complained of holes in the sheets, worms on the floor, hair in the shower, and a “high” receptionist. “You’ll sleep better in a dumpster,” wrote one reviewer.
