Hotels near Willcox / Cochise, AZ KOA Holiday, Willcox

We were tired after driving from California, and after dinner we just wanted a decent room in which to freshen up and get some sleep. I have stayed in many Motel 6 over the years, and usually they are no-frills but quite clean. Their phone reservation system was awkward and difficult, and the clerk said, ”We have plenty of rooms, just come in after dinner”. We arrived, different clerk, checked in fairly quickly and went to our room. I pulled back my sheets and what did I find? Hairs. Lots of them, from all parts of a body. The sheets and pillowcases were wrinkled in the way that says, ”Someone has slept on these already”. I pulled back my friend's sheets and her bed also had various hairs. Utterly revolting. I called the desk and the guy said he'd be right there and move us across the hall, ”but it was their last room”; what happened to ”plenty of rooms”? That room had clean sheets but dirty pillowcases (and horribly lumpy pillows). He managed to scare up a couple more pillows that had clean cases. The drapes in the room had a large burn mark and the bathroom door had what looked like milk and dog hair all over it. Cleaning is clearly not how the housekeeping staff occupy their time. There weren't enough towels/washcloths for two people. We left as soon as we could in the morning and didn't even get into the shower. When I checked out, I saw that they had knocked off 25% of the bill, from $120 to $90, which we appreciated. Still, for what we went through and the obvious lack of care by the housekeeping staff, it didn't seem like enough. I would avoid this motel completely.

Greeted by one of the most helpful staff and gave great suggestions for eats and some side ventures that weren't on our original plan, but made the time for. Hotel a little older, but maintained well. Ice machine on second floor didn't work, but first floor worked well. Outdoor pool area small, but pretty. Bed comfortable; making for the best night sleep. Small breakfast area inside and a couple tables outside too. If we happen to be in this area again, we will stay here.

This property displayed a sign on February 22, 2023, indicating it is under new management- they have work to do. Our check-in wasn't until about 9pm; at that time all water was turned off for some repairs. The room phone also didn't work. The good news was the water was back on around 11pm. The bad news was that the tub, basin and toilet leaked water all night. Although there was Wi-Fi at the hotel, the signal at our room was too weak to use. The continental breakfast consisted of 2 cereals, 2 types of small muffins and weak coffee and thin juice. Front desk issued 10% discount for water and phone problems. The view from balcony is nice.

We were in room 6-1/2 which is very tiny. There's barely room for the bed, dresser, an oversized rocking chair, and a couple of end tables. It was clean but shabby. The seat cushion on the chair is torn. The bedspread is patchwork and it's coming apart at the seams. The shower floor is peeling. And the shower is very claustrophobic. It is barely big enough to turn around in. The TV appears to be over the air and the picture pixilated badly. The sink did not drain well. I told the manager and he said he would pour some Draino down it. The oddest thing was, even though the sign said no vacancy, we never saw more than 2 cars in the lot including us. Maybe the owner is upgrading rooms or maybe he just forgot to change the sign. The pool was open but it was too cold to swim. The hot tub was not filled up.
