Everything was fine. The room just looks questionable. I moved everything possible to check for roaches. Desk, table, dresser, and the bed.. Looked like someone did a quick wipe down because nothing looks brand new. All previous damage from all the years was there. I brung my own blankets and pillows. Slept good and it was quiet outside during my quick stay. Ended up here because the price, was attending an event, and was gonna be out 1st thing in the morning. All in all good but for $20+ dollars more you csn get a spotless room.

Pros: Great location. Friendly person at front desk when called in the morning before checking in later that night. Cons: Needed to pay for night upfront before getting key to room. The room itself was frightening: No blanket on bed (just pillows and sheets), grimy, smelled like cigarette smoke. Tried the tv and half the channels did not come through (message displayed was “No signal”). Concerned about possibly seeing insects or small animals emerging through cracks. Disclaimer: Self-proclaimed germophobe and fearful of rodents indoors. Decided to not spend night. It seemed to be a motel for people who lived locally more than visitors, but I could be wrong. That might be the problem. Left motel that night without even unpacking. So lost the cost of the nights stay. And since I’d made a different reservation for the following night, but cancelled that reservation after 7pm, I lost that money as well. So lost a lot of money (2 night’s stay). Just could not bear to stay there. The motel could attract more people if it renovated the rooms and treated the guests with more respect (not like criminals). It’s in a great location in a popular location (many stores, restaurants), so has potential.

My wife and I were unable to obtain a second set of washcloths. She joined me for the second day of my stay. I had been issued 1 washcloth, towel and hand towel. My wife went to the front desk to request a second set. She was told we could not get one until the next day, and I needed to return my towel before we could get another. We checked out at 6:30 am. So getting a second washcloth was impractical. Odd

The office is always closed, and no staff are around to help. When I called, no one picked up. The room was very dirty. The floor was not clean and it looked like there was dog poop behind it. It was a non-smoking room, but it had a cigarette burn on the bed sheet. The shower head was broken, and there was no shampoo, conditioner, or lotion. There was only one towel in the room. I would not stay here ever again nor recommend anyone to stay here.

Very disappointed. Room had very heavy smell of smoke. Towels smelled of smoke. We turned the air on high, but it didn't completely remove the smell. There was only one set of towels. Had to find a housekeeping person to give us another set of towels. She gave us 1 bath towel. There was dog poop on the grass area in front of our room. we had to be careful where we stepped.

It was run down and didn't have soap or shampoo other than the little hand soaps. No hair dryer, had to leave my DL in order to \"borrow\" a hair dryer that had no heat. One wash cloth one hand towel. Bed was horrible - like a huge person had bounced on one side - deep depression on one side, had to not fall out of the bed! It was horrible.

First the bedding has holes in it, the furniture was not cleaned, sticky and the shower was not cleaned properly. The shower had mold growing and little hairs on the shower itself, everywhere. Second, I requested to check in early, the first person I spoke to about it, was rude. Then I came to property to check in early, and then person for the office wasn’t in office, for a half an hour. Third, the room reek of cigarettes like 90s smell of use to smoke in them, but never got cleaned or remodeled. Will be I staying here again, no. I will be actually bad mouthing this place to all my fellow employees so they make the mistake I did.

I expected much better. I have stayed at Motel 6 in Petaluma, CA and in Albuquerque as well as some others. Usually it’s simple, but clean. This place had hairs in the bed. Hopefully from the housekeeper? The sheets were old and stained, I’m telling myself they were clean, simply old and stained. There was also something on the floor that might have been a bug, could have been dirt. Or even fabric…didn’t want to get too close a look at it cause I was so tired. Would not recommend this property.

Avoid at all cost

The facility is very shabby. There no access to the office, business is conducted thru a 2way drawer, like an old fashioned bank. The pillows were flat, there’s a desk type piece of furniture but no chairs or bench. The only seating is on the bed. There was part of a plastic wrapper from a soap cake on the bathroom floor, which led me to think hadn’t been swept. Mold in the bathtub grout. Only 1 each bath towel, hand towel and wash cloth. All together an unpleasant experience

It was decently clean for being such an old place. The beds were horribly uncomfortable. The walls were thin. The tv was not working and the channel options were minimal. The parking was horrible. When we arrived, the sign was up to come back in 20 minutes, it was at least 40 minutes before someone was back to check us in. They tried, it just was not even a 2 star stay for us

I had to change my original hotel at the last minute and had to stay at Motel 6
Keep in mind I grew up in the area and expected it not to what it was. The property is dirty, the room was filthy, I literally cleaned the room before we even put anything down. The bed was comfy but everything was extremely old. They painted over very large imperfections throughout the room. We went to Target to buy our own towel set. People seem to be living there long term and it felt unsafe at times but again being from the area I wish someone could’ve tried me.

The bathroom was dirty, (shower), bed sheets, blanket and cover were filthy and had numerous stains on them. We got in so late and we’re so tired that we didn’t even wanna complain at 1 o’clock in the morning. We just laid down for about two hours took a quick shower jumped in the car and headed home. The whole room and experience was terrible. I would not recommend this facility to anybody if the rest of the rooms are in that kind of shape. How embarrassing for a company to have a client stay in a room like that. I think it was room number 226.

I know that when you stay at a Motel 6 you are not expecting the best. You are looking for an inexpensive place to sleep, a decent bed, and clean sheets/towels. But there are things that are within the owner’s control to at least make and attempt to make the rooms bearable. Like vacuuming the muck off the floors. Taking some bleach to the visible growing mold in the bathroom. Maybe comforters that do not have cigarette burns in them.
I was here for three days and on three occasions I had to go to the office to have the key cards fixed. They were not near my phone and, on one occasion, I had them fixed in the evening and they did not work by the following afternoon having sat on the counter overnight.
I have stayed at several Motel 6’s and this was by far the worst.
