I picked this room at about 830 as I was driving up the coast and at 10:30 I checked in and immediately came back saying my room was smoky and the television was on. It was a bossy woman and a younger guy at the front and the bossy woman told me that no one smoked in the room and she hadn’t even been in there and she said the TV is left on, so that’s how they could tell if the maids have cleaned the room which makes no sense at all and I said I just want another room please and the place was half empty by hooks of the parking lot then she asked me if I usually stay at a Marriott or something I said what difference does that make? I stayed in a motel six last night, there’s no TV on and there’s no smell of smoke in the room. Can I just get another room and she continued to argue with me and I was exhausted. Please stop and she kept going so I said what’s your name she said why I said cause I’m gonna report you you can’t report me. I’m the general manager. I’m the boss here and you have to leave. I said for what because I’m the boss you have to leave I said 1130 at night. Can’t you just give me another room No so I left

TV did not work. Spoke with front desk. Man promised to come to room and fix. Never showed up. Room was not ready at 1500, front desk blamed staff shortage. Cigaret burns in all the table tops including dresser. Table legs were uneven, rocked when touched. Parking lots had potholes and worn out top. Common areas were dirty. I selected this site because I had been in other nice Motel 6 units on last trip. Also expected to be gone most of afternoon and evening but appointment was canceled so I was stuck in room with non=operable tv. Was not worth even the $52 I paid for it. Never again.

Avoid at all costs. We booked this motel at the last second when we ran into some very bad weather on a long ride home. This property looked nothing like the pictures and was filled with transients. The room was filthy, reeked of cigarette smoke despite being billed as \"non-smoking,\" and didn't even have a fridge. We refused to stay.

There were roaches crawling around the room. Found one in the drawer and one crawling on the floor. They don’t provide any shampoo or conditioner whatsoever so they make you use the tiniest bar soap that’s meant to wash your hands with to wash your body in the shower. No coffee maker, basic necessity. There was also a little whole underneath the door where we could hear practically everything.

This motel is not livable. The floor was so sticky that I couldn’t walk on it, the bathroom door was kicked in on the bottom and the handle was off so you couldn’t close it. The bathroom wall was dark gray and had white holes all over the wall, the tub was chipped all over, the wall next to the bed was so dirty and completely with black stains from shoe prints, the dresser was busted and the front portion of the drawers is missing so it looked like a shelf instead. The only dresser that was working, was full with food crumbs. We found someone else’s Drivers License next to the bed on the floor, the bottom of the front door had a huge gap so we can smell the urine and also people were talking really loud. The parking spots were well lit but there very sketchy people pacing back and forth in front of one the open door. We didn’t feel safe, my truck didn’t feel safe so we left and looked for another hotel which was very hard since it was graduation weekend.

The good news. The front desk and staff did everything they could to put lipstick on a pig. I give them high praise. BUT, It is obvious that this property is just in buisness to suck every dime out of it and not reinvesting a penny. I assume it is planning to sell it and the next owner will make it nice again. But for now it is a dump and there seems to be a large population of people living there that create drama throughout the night. Lots of dogs, pit bulls included were staying there. We were stuck there because we came during graduation weekend at FSU and there wss no where to go to, so we were captive. Our rooms, to their credit, had no bugs. But security locks were broken, drawers were busted, missing light bulbs or unworking lights, whole in doors, like it was kicked in. Evicted patrons and their suitcases in the parking lot. There were people everywhere breaking the rule of smoking and not necessarily tobacco. Management tried to control it but invariably everytime we returned through the weekend there was a person or more lingering oddly near our front doors for hours sometimes.Hanging out, smoking, sitting in their car thumping music. We were there 3 nights and could not leave soon enough. Pillows were giant and puffy and uncomfortable ,but the befs were actually comfy. Location is very good for FSU events.

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.

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.

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!
