As soon as I entered my room my eyes throat and nose were burning from cigarette smoke. I booked a nonsmoking bc I’m allergic and after ten minutes I couldn’t take it. It was so bad. I also pulled the comforter down and the sheets were filthy and smelled like they hadn’t been washed in weeks because the body odor from them made me gag and want to vomit. That odor filled the entire room so I opened the door and packed back up and left after getting my money back. Don’t stay here it’s disgusting.

If I could I would have said 0 stars.

It was terrible and I would have left if I wasn’t tired from driving. First, the man working at night was creepy and pissed off he had to help us.

Secondly, they had bugs. I believe cockroaches. I found five.

We slept on top of the bed and used our own pillows and blankets. I had pulled back the sheets and it had black dirt covering everything. They definitely hadn’t been washed.

The bathtub was not something you would step in without shower shoes.

Lastly, the lock for the door was broken. We had to jam a chair under the handle of the door to keep it fully closed.

I do not recommend. I would sooner sleep in my car next time.

I definitely would like my money back. But, it isn’t worth dealing with them.

There was a microwave and mini fridge. I did not use the microwave, but it and the fridge were decent and clean. The heat kind of worked but was missing a front component and was filthy!

upon arriving to Motel 6, we felt very uncomfortable due to the fact the customers or residents of this place we're sitting outside on the ground smoking marijuana. The smell was uninviting, as we entered the hotel room, it was a strong smell of dampness placing my asthma into flare. We we're very disappointed with this place to stay, so we made the decision go to another hotel to feel safe and comfortable. We are requesting a refund for a misleading place to stay.

It is obvious that they spend nearly nothing on this place. I’ve never seen any main entrance look this bad . Felt like this place would be in some movie in the middle of Mexico. I am not exaggerating in the least. Rooms were the same except they did have a newer “cheap” lvp flooring , poorly installed. Beds were ok. Ac worked good but was off when we got there at 7. Had to leave for a few hours to get it to cool down . I would suggest any one of the 3 other hotels over this one unless you’re just desperate. Hope they read this , don’t take it personally, and improve their facilities.

Good for a night stop after a long drive

This was good for what we needed it for, a cheap place to spend a few hours to sleep after a long day of driving. It’s outdated and a little musky. Our room had clearly been sprayed for bugs recently as there were dead flys laying around the floor of the room. (I would rather dead flys than alive bugs I guess) overall the beds were okay and it felt safe. I wouldn’t stay there for anything more than a place to rest after driving. Definitely not a destination hotel

A quick stop, not a vacay

This was a quick stop on a cross country drive for two people and was good enough for that. It is right next to a truck stop that was busy and loud but the front desk was kind enough to give us a room on the opposite side which was less noisy. There were some creepers lurking around the area.

The smoke detectors were covered in plastic bags and it was obvious there had been some smoking in there. It wasn’t the best maintained but it wasn’t dirty or gross - I wouldn’t call it a dive but I don’t think it’s meant for children or families. It worked for one nights stay.

STAY FAR AWAY

Doors wouldnt lock, and when we expressed our concern, the owner said theyd refund us our money and immediately made our family including children leave at 11pm with no other help on another place to stay. Bugs, stench everywhere, and i wont actually see any sort of \"refund\" if any, for at least 2 weeks. Nearly every single thing in these rooms was broken- the windows, door locks, beds, air conditioner, EVEN THE TOILET was broken. Nearly everything was completely uninhabitable, and i never got any sort of guarantee that I was going to be refunded- no communication, no receipt, just \"yall need to leave right now.\" Even the manager said that they had gotten several complaints that the pictures and discription on every platform they advertise from is of another Motel 6- and it is.

Do not stay at a Motel 6

The bath room tile behind the door looks like it has never been cleaned.

Appears that they scream the floor with the door open and never clean behind the door.

The commode was loose and the lid to the tank did not fit properly.

The room had a terrible smell and the mattress had lumps in it.

I think that Blackstone may have wasted its money on the purchase of Motel 6.
