Well lit parking lot. No shampoo or conditioner in room,linen needs to be updated,need black out curtains in room to block out light from outside,people letting dogs bark most of the night,people outside talking loudly,had trouble getting room key to work,air worked alright. For being right off interstate,it could use a little remodeling and new bed linens.

The floor in the room was slimy. I thought it was water on my shoes until I took them off. It was so gross I immediately washed my feet and slept with my shoes on. There were burn marks all over the room, like from people cooking spoons on the table, tub, sink, counter top. The plumbing wasn't connected to the sink drain so water just poured out all over the floor. The mattress was super uncomfortable. The fridge was gross inside. It smelled like stale cigarette smoke and bad decisions in there. I was afraid to leave any of my stuff in there while I was out. I got out of there at first light. The a/c worked great though.

You just can’t beat the price, if you’re just looking for a place to sleep and you don’t need a ton of extras it’s perfect. It’s clean, options for a king size or double beds, this location is right by highway and it’s very safe, clean and you can’t beat the value!

I have stayed at Motel 6’s in a variety of states and this location is hands down the most disgusting place I have ever walked into.

Ok! So you know when a sentence starts with ok you are about to get a story. We roll up to the motel. First sign should have been the smell of skunk weed or the hotel staff behind bullet proof glass. Then there was grills, pet bowls, and other things that you probably don't see at a hotel. We get the keys and as I'm trying the key card the lady in the room next door says \"I think someone's in there, a man his wife and a dog.\" And the key didn’t work. So I go to the office to get a new key. As I'm almost back to the door husband hollers “pack it up we're not staying here there's cockroaches.” I don’t do bugs or anything disgusting. I go in and look and sure enough there they were in the bathroom. Back to the office I go. I tell the guy (Sam) I need a refund because we can't stay because there are cockroaches. He don’t act surprised. So we get that settled and my husband decides to go pee in the bathroom before he closes the door. Comes back and says I thought the one by the toilet was dead. I must have scared it and it took off.

This place seemed more of a live in motel for the local drug users and doesn’t seem to have been inspected for occupancy recently by the health department. So that is my next call.

Pay the extra money and stay somewhere else.

Check in was alright, the property was what you’d expect from a cheap motel, burn holes on every surface, nothing much offered in the way of amenities except two bars of soap and a few towels. Water pressure was nice! Off putting signs, the security lock on my door was broken, everything felt sticky, and second morning I found a cockroach. I left early. Just couldn’t bring myself to stay there another night.

Ehh

The lock did not work with a room key, so we had to get housekeeping & the front office to let us in. (The master keys worked but not door keys.)

The parking lot is not very convenient to the rooms, unless they give u a room by the front, so there was a really long walk every time we made a trip to the car and the 3 times to the front office when the keys were giving us issues.

The people in the room next door were grilling out on the 2nd floor, right in front of the hotel room door, & were partying outside loudly until 12:30am. There was no way that was within fire code, and the front office had cameras everywhere & pointed straight at them all night. They could see that it was going on. When they snuffed out the fire when they were done, all of the excess smoke came billowing out, straight to our window A/C unit, and into our room. Even our bags smelled like smoke when we left.

It took a while to get the TV to work, and the taped-together remote was difficult to use.

A/c worked. Floors clean. Bed was fine.

Holy cow this place is a broken dive of a hotel. The check in process is through a bank drawer style window with \"no hourly rooms\" posted next to it. To say it's an unsavory place is an understatement.
The room was that kind of grim you get from not cleaning anything well for a very long time. You know the sort, mystery splashes that were never cleaned and floors that have lost their texture. On the plus side I didn't find any bed bugs so thats a star right there!

All the facility is worn up and need renovation. The room was fairly clean but lacked comfort. The walls are made out of paper, so you hear everything happening outside your room. I have woken up several times during the night because of someone screaming or talking at night. In addition, there are many people who live in the hotel permanently, smoke at every corner and smell bad. Nightly price doesn't worth it.

Never again!!!

My stay was not pleasant at all!! stayed two nights, two different rooms. 1st room and stay was ok besides the air conditioner. Was leaking water and almost slipped during the middle of the night. 2nd stay was even worse! Room looked roomier and was ok till night came. The roaches came out!! It started when hearing a beeping noise in the outlet so I decided to unscrew to make sure nothing illegal was going on, and noticed roach droppings and eggs! Not sure what the beeping was. Shortly after soon as it was light out, they were popping out from behind the frame on wall, after killing a few I could not sleep so kept a side light on and waited. Few more had popped out and that was enough for me. Couldn't sleep after that.

Not only did they have rooms available on short notice, but the dogs were free to stay. My room was clean. Housekeeping was so nice. Management was nice, let us check out late and even laughed at me getting dragged around the parking lot with my cane corso. I never had a bad stay at a motel 6.
