On arrival, check in took about 15 minutes, not sure why as I had prebooked. 2 police cars and several officers arrived during this time. I eventually made it to my room, which was a good size with nothing but a bed, TV stand and AC unit. The floor was sticky and my TV remote didn’t work. There was only 1 battery so I went to reception to get more batteries. I was still unable to change TV channels so went to reception again and was told their TVs were tricky and was given another remote. This one worked! There are a number of shops within walking distance so I took a walk and saw the police still around. The room is very tatty but to be fair, the bed was ok and the shower was decent. Despite reservations it was fairly quiet during the night and I slept well. This place was very cheap so don’t expect much.

Mold in the bathroom, room
Smelled like wet dog, gross!
Staff was nice and polite, property need lots of work. Sadly during university events the price is like Hilton on the beach with resort amenities. This place is not that by any stretch of the imagination.
There have to be health department standards and hotel chain standards for cleanliness

Paid for a deluxe room . Was told I was going to be given a better room to be given a room with no fridge or microwave so it was a downgrade of what I paid for. Smelled mold when we got in didn't initially see the mold . I got in almost at 10 pm after 6 hr drive I just wanted to sleep . I go to the front desk the next day to complain about the mold and asked if there was another room. All that was done was the head of housekeeping came and sprayed the mold down and wiped it down. He was a nice person . Was just disappointed. When I tried to complain to Expedia the manager told them they never heard of any issues in the past 24hrs so they also lie lol insane.

Room was a bit dirty. Dirt on the floor, stains on the mattress. Looks like a dog had chewed up the dresser/tv stand. Burn marks on towel holder by sink. Looks like it may have been used as an ashtray. There where a lot of people hanging out in the parking lot most of the night. The door looks like it had been busted in a time or two. Didn't feel particularly safe there. We booked late, and this is all there was in the area.
All that said, front desk staff were nice and jovial, and gave us some cold water.

Staff was patronizing when asked questions and accomodations especially after check-in. The room was not what the online pictures showed. Nevertheless, the room was filthy. The door stopper was not secured. No extractor in bathroom ceiling. There was rust in almost every metal surface and many indicators of mold. When this was brought to the attention of the manager/owner he didn't seem surprised nor concerned. Instead he stated that hotel was an ONE STAR hotel. Online I saw it was a TWO STAR. This man did not care about his guests' wellbeing, comfort, time, nor money. We paid around $70 for one night. On my way out of the place he told us, without being asked, that we didn't qualify for a refund because we had been there over an hour, but if were to call expedia they would get in contact with him and figure out from there. That guy needs that money to fix that place up. Cheers!

We didn't even stay here, it was so bad. The room reeked of marijuana. We contacted the booking site immediately after check in and they refused to refund our money or even help us find another location on such short notice. We left immediately to try and find another place at almost midnight. No money refunded for the 4 day stay even though we didn't even stay an hour. I will never use the booking site or motel again. Worst experience ever on both fronts. The motel was filthy dirty with bugs and the 8 cops surrounding it when we arrived should have been a dead giveaway to run fast

Parking was easy, the room.reeked of cigerettes and like it had just been vacated moments before. Ambulance calls, garbage getting picked up at 4 am , fighting, yelling, and there was no way i was taking a shower , the tub was filthy. Im not a picky person but there was no surface that wasnt dirty, missing paint, etc... the front desk girl was very nice but again, it was obvious someone had just finished smoking pot in the lobby. Not kidding. Ice machine and water.machine not.working. The property just needs a general do over.

The only good thing about the property is the staff. The room smelled so strongly of smoke I nearly threw up. The stove top was broken and crusted with filth, missing the knobs to turn it on. The fire alarms were both removed, the sprinkler was busted, the sheets were dirty on the bed, the building is visibly falling apart at the seams with rotten plaster and exposed, rusty metal. Perfect for staging a horror film, only barely tolerable for sleeping one night in a room that has a locking door, I personally am never staying there again.

I travel a lot around the world and have stayed in many hotels of different categories, from budget to luxury. But I have never experienced anything as terrible as this place.

The hotel is extremely dirty, it smells awful, and everything is soaked with cigarette smoke. The atmosphere is disgusting and completely unacceptable for any hotel, no matter the price.

The girl at the reception treats guests horribly. She is rude, disrespectful, and makes you feel unwelcome from the very first moment. Honestly, I don’t understand why this hotel is even allowed to stay open. It should be closed down. I am truly speechless.

The only positive impression I had was from the male receptionist — he was polite and professional. But the girl at the front desk is an absolute nightmare.

The outdoor environment was not safe. Lots of thuggish looking people hanging around. Someone pounded on the door at 4:30 am looking for a “white dude and a black girl.” If I had opened the door, nothing good would have come from it.
The dresser had no drawers, the bathroom was missing trim from the floor, no garbage can, door key had to get reprogrammed twice, etc.
I have stayed in many a questionable hotel but this is the first time I did not feel safe. I have no idea who is giving this a 10/10, exceptional rating. They are NUTS! DO NOT STAY HERE.

Staff seemed nice. Though the room was NASTY. There were 2 HUGE stains on the bed. Along with the pillow they clearly do not care to wash or replace the sheets. Towels are not even provided for the shower. Along with the sink being dirty and the shower being absolutely disgusting. Defiantly needs to be redone as there is chipping in the shower stains just overall looks nasty. The WORST part is the fact there was small ROACHES running around the room there are SO many and come out through the walls and under the bed. Felt so nasty I had to bring my own comforter to sleep. Not clean and disgusting feels uncomfortable to sleep in.

I don’t expect a lot from a budget motel. When I arrived, I had to stand out in the cold for 5 to 10 minutes because no one was in the reception area at 5:30 in the evening. When I went to get a shower in the morning, there were no towels, washcloths, soap, or shampoo. When I called down to the front desk, they weren’t able to bring me any because no one was there to help at 9:30 in the morning. I’m not planning to stay the ever again.

I would not recommend a family with young kids staying there. I felt uncomfortable while going to my room.

I arrived to the property and instantly didn’t feel safe. I had to go and get my own cleaning products to deep clean the room because it had a very strong odor of cigarettes and other substances and pepper spray for my safety.I came across 4 spiders on my first night and felt so unsafe I decided to stay with a friend. I came back the next day during my stay and still felt unsafe with random men staring while I came in and out of my room and on multiple occasions stood near my door and walked back and forth. I was so terrified i decided to leave from the hotel early and booking a room at a different place where it was safer and cleaner. I asked the hotel if I could get a refund for the days I didn’t stay there and the front desk told me the general manager wouldn’t be back until the following week. I still have yet to hear anything back from the property about a refund or about my horrible experience so I won’t be booking here again. Aside from the experience, the staff at the front desk were very nice and helpful.

Bathroom smelled of either sewage or weed when we first arrived.

First night, a mixture of tenants and possibly loiterers were making a large ruckus that made it hard to sleep. The second night was much better in comparison as it was quiet.

Wall light fixtures appeared loose and almost fell on my travel partner. Interior security guard was coming slightly loose from the door, thankfully the main lock was functional.

Didn't see any bugs or bed bugs during our stay, which was a plus given previous reviews.

The staff that I interacted with seemed nice, and made effort to make us aware of best places to park.

The girl at the desk was friendly and nice. But when we got to our room it was actually depressing. The walls were gray with nothing on them. The bathroom counter was spotted with stains. The bathroom had a marijuana cigarette but on the floor. The repainted shower was peeling and the door was dirty, peeling and rust was dropping off the hinges. We stayed here because my family members with me had good experiences at motel 6 about 20 years ago. It was scary there also. Alot of screaming and yelling and the police were called about something. I learned that I'd rather pay a bit more to have a nice and safe stay.

Davion, the night staff, was excellent, and the lady in the morning was also very nice. But the rooms were unbelievably bad — you actually feel sorry for yourself. I asked them to change my room, the second room the bathroom was dirty! and Davion cleaned it for me.

I stayed just one night to get some sleep and thought, “Why spend so much money for only a few hours of rest?” I’ve been to Motel 6 before, but I’ve never seen one this bad. It was dirty, broken, and ugly. It was so bad that I ended up laughing — it felt like a prank. I honestly couldn’t believe how bad it was. Despite all of it, the bed was great. Clean, neat and comfortable. I can not recommend this motel 6 to anyone. and I tried to be honest and fair.
