We were given a room out back 2nd floor, as soon as we opened the door we could smell marijuana along with the residual smell of cigarettes. This was a non-smoking room. We don’t smoke. The marijuana smell was even stronger as we entered the room toward the back by the bathroom. The bedspread had several cigarette burns on it. The stairs to get to the 2nd floor were narrow and old. Not wanting to smell like pot or possibly have our truck parts go missing overnight (person attempting to repair their vehicle next to ours) we left. Didn’t bother fighting for a refund which would have been useless! The attendant was pleasant though and appeared concerned when she asked about our reasons for leaving. I did however reassure her that it wasn’t anything she did. She only can do so much with what’s there to work with. The place is sketchy and quite frankly had an unsafe vibe to it so in general when my gut says leave I listen.

The room they initially put us in was a nightmare. Like so dirty and cringy food stuck on the curtains, broken tv, stains on the floor, stains and cigarette burns on the bed and bedding, stains in the bathroom just really not fit for anyone to stay in. When I complained they moved us to a little bit better of a room where the tv worked and there was less stains, but nothing to brag about either. They also make you pay a $50 cash deposit which they don’t tell you on the app and you get there thinking it’s one cost , but no you have to dig deeper in your pockets for more money. Then the next morning they go digging through the room looking to see if a towel or something is missing so they could try to keep your $50. They make you wait while they go search the room. Terrible everything run don’t walk away if you have the extra money pick somewhere else and not this nightmare.

Staff was very friendly! No pet fees. Small but decent area to walk around with my dog. It's an older facility, the large motel 6 sign was laying on the ground, needed some repairs done. Ice machine was outside and had trouble making ice in the humidity. But for a night pit stop during a road trip with a dog, it was just fine. Really appreciated the staff being so helpful and friendly to my pup.

We enjoyed our stay at Motel 6.Our orginal non-smoking room located in building downhill behind the main hotel reeked of cigarettes. It was next door to a smoking room. I think smoke was coming through the wall. Luckily the desk clerk was able to move us to a king non-smoking room in main area. The room was clean with some wear. Cigarette marks on tub, some chipped paint on baseboards, but clean and comfortable. The towels were very new and fluffy. The coffee at the front desk was amazingly good.

Staff was pleasant and helpful. Realizing the property is definitely dated, I can overlook "the lipstick on a pig", however the bedspread was white and had several dark stains, therefore giving the appearance of it not being clean? The blanket under the spread had numerous holes, not making it unusable...just "cheap". I am grateful for your wonderful low rates and great pet policy!! Recommend better quality control of linens.

We mainly stayed at this hotel because they are pet friendly. We kept our two mid-large dogs at the hotel - keep in mind they did ask whether we had crates, we did. There is area to take the dogs out and everyone seemed to make sure to pick after themselves while we were there. The room was pretty clean and everything worked in the room. The staff were all pleasant. I appreciated that the front desk lady (I'm sorry I didn't catch her name) called right after we had gotten in to make sure our room was to our liking. Very good customer service. Checkout was seamless. I would stay here again.

I thought my car bottom would drag. The room was non smoking but there were cigarette burns in the tub and the bedspread. One day we didn't even get any towwels.

Stay Somewhere Else!!

Front desk girl kept asking me for extra cash. She tried to charge me cash deposit and I had proof she put deposit on my card. She called my room at 11pm to request more $20 more for room and $50 for deposit
She insisted I needed to give her cash, everything was on my card. The room was for a disabled child and it was absolutely disgusting and not handicap safe. I would Never recommend this location to anyone. I reviewed the comments prior to booking, not sure how they have any good reviews. Incompetent front desk and old, dingy, unsafe room.

Disappointed

Had a great encounter with the lady at the front desk. She was so sweet! Did not like the narrow road to the room I booked it was only big enough for one car.. had to take the same narrow road out and was afraid a car was gonna come over the hill. Could not see well. The outside was really run down but I tried not to think anything of it because the pictures of the rooms looked really nice. Was very disappointed to go in the room and there be cigarette holes all in the comforter of the NONSMOKING room I booked. It smelled weird in the room and wasn’t the cleanest. The tvs color was also off and there wasnt many channels to choose from. I ended up staying 3 hours then decided I couldn’t stay there.
