Listen, we all know. Motel 6 is an aging old brand in the United States properties have wear and tear but fill grime, disgusting environments, lack of maintenance pools of gross. Who knows what trash everywhere filthy carpets everywhere broken doors everywhere that’s just management and ownership lack of caring about their business.

Possibly the worst Motel 6 I've been to. I know, not the Ritz. You get what you pay for. But there were smashed bugs on the wall. There were stains on the bed. The pool was closed. We choose our hotels on if they have a pool or not. We wouldn't have even stayed here had we known. It looked like the pool had been closed for a long time.

The hallways smelled. The room smelled. The commercials used to promise us a clean, comfortable room. This certainly wasn't clean or comfortable.

The lock on the door was also broken.

It was nice and handy, though, to just be able to move our things in through the window from the parking area since there was no screen on the window. Not sure that was the goal of the hotel, though.

The pool is closed for maintenance they say but it just seems to be empty with no water.
The floor in our room was sticky and there was a q tip on the floor.
The gfi didn't work so you couldn't use thr plug by the sink.
Seems to be mainly people living there monthly. Someone knocked on our window in the middle pf the night so at that point we decided to check out early

There were dirty clothes left in the bathroom along with black mold in the corner of the tub. One of the 2 beds we couldn't sleep in. The sheets were firmly when we turned the sheets down. The towel by the sink had hair in it. The pool was drained and closed maintenance. I will never stay here again

If you are looking for a very short stay for a couple, it’s not the worst place ever. If you’re trying to stay as a family: abort mission. The outside security doors are nonexistent and the helpful man that checked us in assured us we should not worry. We worried, all night. The smell of cigarettes was very prominent in our room, despite all areas being “non-smoking”. I assume the smell was wafting in from the outside door that doesn’t have the ability to close. Stains, melted parts of plastic, dirty mirrors, no Kleenex. Seems like a place to avoid if you value cleanliness and safety.

Oh, and the pool is “closed for maintenance” though other guests and I agreed, “that thing hasn’t been running for a long time!”


Nice enough staff.

The property isn’t as described as it is. There’s no pool, no breakfast or coffee regularly. I have only seen one person who made coffee!
I have a little white dog who can barely walk due to health conditions. The manager claimed that she was out running the halls but yet can’t really walk. I don’t know how she would get the door open! Poor management, drunk and swearing a lot.
If you can afford extra money for a different hotel I would recommend it!

Certain staff members were great and they would make great managers of this hotel. The current managers really need to take responsibility and step down and resign. Andy is aJeyill and Hyde mentality personality! He is intoxicated will on the job, swears a lot and is quick to call the police on people and have them kicked out! Days that he is sober he is decent to deal with. The management is been watched throwing peoples mail away!

This motel is very old and run down, we had to ask for towels and soap and was told they don't offer Shampo. The pool was closed due to maintance(looked as though it had been closed for a long time).
There was a constant smell of drug use and unsavory people everywhere.
Would not suggest this motel and I will never stay there again.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Only issue was the partying and fighting in the floor above me. Guess the police were called and the managers were mad about that!
Seemed like dogs were fighting in the hallway or just being loud. But if the managers get mad about the police being called, I definitely don’t think they would care about it if dogs were being noisy in the hallway.

This was a tired hotel that could use some significant maintenance. However, the price was good, pets were free, the internet worked well, the bed was comfortable and the checkin agent was helpful. If you can't stand to have a lower quality room, this isn't the place for you. But for the price and location, we were satisfied with our stay here.

Room wasn't clean. Ceiling light had something sticking out and it didn't work. Hot tub was dirty. It had a patched hole that wasn't completely fixed. There was a round thing that I assume was a filter, and it shot out black stuff. I went into the bathroom and closed the door. Behind the door was a swimmy diaper full of feces. There was also some plastic with Motel 6 on it. The walls are so thin, I swear there was a herd of buffalo running up and down the hallway and steps.

Pictures online are definitely invalid. Lobby - filthy. Not updated like advertised. Pool was closed, completely drained, “under maintenance” but was not alerted of it at time of booking. Bathroom, dirty - had to clean the tub before use. Toliet, EXTREMELY loud. Hot tub in room, steady water leak. 2-3” gap under main door, placed a towel there to close off lighting. TV & night stand dirty. One night stand power did not work. Mold around faucets and both wall trim & floor trim. Back entry door, broken. Parking lot - total mess with beer cans & trash. No video surveillance. Also was not noted of serious road construction around motel, difficult to get into.

The outside door opened with no key. We were told the pool worked and it hasn't worked in years. Pets are allowed to stay. But you aren't allowed to leave them at any time unattended. There were no accommodations in the room or at the hotel. No breakfast and coffee they say they have wasn't there. Definitely would not recommend staying there. The room was worth maybe 10 dollars a night.

This hotel was DISGUSTING. Our room reeked of smoke from the second we walked into the room and there was orange smoke stains dripping from the walls. The shower, bathroom, and sink were not cleaned at all. The faucet was not even wiped down. There was no water pressure in the shower because the shower head was broken. We had the air conditioning on high and it never cooled down enough to be comfortable. The outlet cover that the A/C was plugged into had previous burn marks on it proving that it had at one time caught fire. There was not a mirror at the sink/vanity, so you could see the staining from where it had been. There was burn marks from I’m assuming lit cigarettes on the side of the shower. The cleanliness of this place was easily the worst I’ve ever seen. Gross doesn’t even begin to describe this place. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND.

We had 2 rooms and it is close to Lost Island and restaurants/shopping. The good: I thought the beds were comfortable for simple platform beds. AC worked. The room was tidy and simple. In both rooms the sinks leaked, there was duct tape on the pipes. Our bathroom wall was dirty and I saw a few small bugs in the bathroom. The other room, the walls had some sticky crap on them, it was gross. I heard some guy complaining to the desk anout the duct tape on his shower head. No breakast, probably a good thing. For a cheap sleep we were ok.

Don’t stay here. When we arrived the parking lot was filled with people loitering around and had a sketchy feel to it. We got to the room and it was not terrible, not the best but we soon realized that the door did not lock at all. The only good thing was that the front desk person was kind enough to offer an upgraded room, but we settled on leaving instead because it felt super sketchy.

Do not stay here. So many issues I don’t know where to start.
There was NO shower curtain. One towel. Well, 1 washcloth, 1 hand towel, and 1 shower towel. Pool is closed. Greeted by a man smoking a clove at the front door in pajamas. Several people just hanging around the entrance, most looked homeless and/or on drugs. No elevator, we were on the second floor. I was walking barefoot in the room and leaving clean spots behind. Gum washed into the sheet. Blood splatter on the ceiling!!! Room is bogged out with smoke( not just cigarette smoke)and my two children were with me. The entire floor was nonsmoking but as we left it was like walking through fog down the hall. I bet I could get any number of drugs, or a hooker if I had knocked on some doors. I had a very foul smelling man follow me out down the hall when I went to get something from my car. The tub was a mess with scrapes. Food on the comforter. Mascara on the pillow case. Long brown hair on the washcloth. (We are blondes) A crucifix left on the top of the headboard. The remote only had one battery. The internet was spotty at best.
My husband was with us but he can’t do anything against a gun or a shooting in the next room and a stray bullet hitting one of my children.
I apologize if this is a bit all over the place, I just keep remembering more. This was an awful experience and my family and I have made light of it BUT REALLY, do not book there. We left after an hour. I did not feel my family was safe at all.

Took a while to get the lady to come to check us in I think she was outside. The room was non smoking but smelled like someone was smoking in jt for a long time. The fridge was really working, and floor was covered in dust and dirt, there was dust bunnies all along the popcorn ceiling. We immediately left and got a new hotel. Bc my wife didn’t feel safe.

When we first arrived at the hotel our rooms door is broken, the room smelled of stale alcohol, dead bugs were on the floors. We then were told that despite the website saying there was free breakfast, a pool, and free wifi. They didn't have ANY of those things. The pool was completely drained of water. When we asked for extra pillows and soap. They said they were out of both. And around midnight while we were sleeping a man opened our door stating there must have been a mix up in the system and then left. We will NOT be staying again.

Only good thing is pets stay free

The room says non-smoking yet the beds smelled heavily of cigarette smoke and there were cigarette burns on the blanket. The door did not close very easily. I had to push pretty hard to get it to latch, and the deadbolt would not engage. The pool ( as always when I stay here) was closed for maintenance. The remote control would not change the channel on the TV, just controlled the volume and on/off feature. I went to the desk on the second day of my stay to see about getting it fixed. The person was new and didn't know how to help, but said he would consult a coworker who lived on the grounds. Neither person ever got back to me. The only plus is pets stay free. The beds are very hard and there was only soap offered for a shower. This was an emergency family trip for me so I did not pack shampoo so I was out of luck. I also put a bag of trash outside my door on the first day, and it was never collected, so I stuffed it into a garbage can outside the back door. The back door did not close all the way, so security is not that important to this establishment. No microwave or coffee maker in the room - there is a small microwave in the lobby.
