I booked 3 night stay for a tournament I would be playing coming from out of state. The first night there I had to complain multiple times about the room above us jumping around till 2am. The staff never went up there to say anything. They moved my room 2nd night to help with the noise as the family would be there all weekend as well. The second night there was a minor leak from the ceiling vent in the bathroom. Very minor. I stayed away from the room most of that day then came back for 3rd night noticed there was still a VERY minor leak that still hadn't soaked a hand towel the whole time. When I woke up from the last night my room was flooded. The bathroom had over an inch of water and it leaked out to the room and past the first bed. The staff said this had never happened before but you could tell bathroom door had water damage on the bottom. There was trash all over the parking lot and looked like someone puked outside the front door until it rained and washed it away.

The property was unclean with broken down vehicles in the parking lot. The back door was completely broken no security to the building. One of the two rooms we had the deadbolt didn’t work and the door wouldn’t shut completely without force. The bathroom sinks were ripped off the wall and poorly reattached. The faucets moved so much from being broken they were almost unusable. The linens and pillows were stained and nasty. The beds were worse. The floors had never been swept it appears as dirt and hair were visible everywhere. The shower floor was slimy and dirty. The bathroom floor had pieces of copper Brillo pad everywhere and the towels were hung up folded dirty with makeup and god knows what else on them. Toilet seat was not clean. No new shampoo and the soap was used and stuffed back in a bag. The usb Power charge ports did not work in the nightstand and inside the drawer was ashes and debris that smelled horrible. The tv constantly told us we needed a code so no channels were available to watch except Alfred Hitchcock. The curtains were dirty and falling off the rod. The screen in the window had been broken and hanging half out the window. Some of the windows to the rooms were broken entirely. This was hands down the worst and sketchiest place I have ever been in my whole life. We checked out the next day before end of our trip because we refused to stay another night and we paid for multiple rooms. I feel ripped off and only slept about 2 hours it was so nasty.

This place is a dump. The outside door doesn’t lock so people can come and go all night. My room was full of bugs, after the 6th roach I killed I left at 3am realizing I would not get a wink of sleep in that room. Bathroom and bedroom were disgusting. Walls and floors and sheets had stains. Will never go back.

I’m 73 years old, drove from Yellowstone. Drug dealers and prostitutes inside and out, desk clerk carrying on conversation with one of them and could care less. Doors slamming constantly, a woman screamed, people talking loudly. Floors were sticky, toilet had feces down both sides, front of shower curb had what looked like blood. After I checked in, I read reviews. Some is old as five years ago, apparently no one has ever cared about these problems.
We checked in about 6:30 pm, couldn’t sleep, feared for our lives and property, so we checked out at 8:00, before dark. My guess is Expedia and motel 6 also knows and neither one cares and I’ll never stay at another motel 6 or use Expedia again. $71 of my retirement money wasted.

BED BUGS.

This location is absolutely disgusting. There's dried pet urine all over the hallways, and the whole place stinks of urine and smoke.

Our room hadn't been cleaned in what looks like a long time, with dirt and debris all over the floors, mold all over the shower curtain, dirty sink, and dirty surfaces. We found a bed bug on our bag the day after coming home, so there now may be more in our house, too.

The staff clearly doesn't care, and SOLO TRAVELING FEMALES BEWARE: the front desk says your room number out loud with the windows wide open, plus the side entrance lock is broken so anyone can come in at any time.

Check in took 45 minutes due to the room in my reservation having been given to an earlier guest. It took about 25 minutes to determine that was why they were unable to locate my reservation. A solution that had been offered prior to making that determination was for me to pay the current rate, which was almost triple what I had paid earlier through Expedia, despite me showing a receipt with Expedia that confirmed I had reserved the room. Even after the hotel confirmed it was their mistake it took about another 20 minutes for the hotel to agree to provide another room at no additional cost. One request the hotel made after it was determined they gave my room to another guest was for me to cancel my Expedia reservation so I could make a new reservation with them at the price I had paid but I noted I should not have to do so since it was confirmed they gave my room to another guest and it was therefore their error to fix. I was in contact with an Expedia representative via a chat box during a majority of the time we were working through the issue. It would have been more helpful to call an Expedia representative but I was unable to easily locate an Expedia customer service phone number. A suggestion would be to include an Expedia customer service number in the confirmation email.

The room was not very cleanly. The wall behind the nightstand had beverage streaks going down it. The bed cover also had stains on it. Otherwise the hotel was nice and the staff was nice.

Stayed there for a quick overnight in passing. Room 116 was bad. There were visual stains from a couples stay previously in the first bad (closest to the door). Bathroom was not clean! The toilet seat had a big red stain running the width of the whole cover and was wider than a shoe. The floors in the bathroom looked like they had not been cleaned in quite a while.
The overall room / stay would not have been bad, but when you are staying somewhere for a quick sleep and go, the 2 most important parts are the bed and bathroom. This room lacked in both of those.
The gentleman who checked us in was still there when we left and was very nice. We mentioned the issues upon leaving and he seemed almost shocked, so maybe this is an enigma, but we will not be visiting this hotel on our next stay in Peoria.
A side note on the overall hotel. If you don't mind the small of marijuana while walking down the hall to your room, the hallway isn't bad.

I booked a two-night stay here but checked out after the first night because the room was in unacceptable condition. When we arrived, the room clearly had not been cleaned. There was urine on the toilet, the pillowcases were dirty, and many surfaces looked like they had not been wiped down at all.

The window was open with no screen, which made it feel unsafe and unsanitary. I actually had to go to the store and buy cleaning supplies just to make the room usable. I even had to stand on a towel to take a shower because the bathroom floor and tub did not feel clean.

I also had to request new sheets because the ones on the bed were dirty when we arrived. For a paying guest, this is completely unacceptable. I booked through Expedia for two nights but chose to leave after the first night due to the conditions.

I strongly suggest management take cleanliness and room inspections more seriously.

This property location was fine but there was a leak above the toilet in the bathroom. The room was filthy, and not even fit to take a shower in. The floors looked like they had not been cleaned in a very long time. The tv only had sound, no picture and when I attempted to address this with the front desk I was basically told there was nothing they could do. There was very loud music playing near our room on the first night, and what seemed to be addicts all around the property. I was fearful to park my vehicle in the parking lot afraid it would be stolen or damaged. Going outside at night was not an option for my son or myself as it was very sketchy.

although I had a confirmation that the property was booked, when I got there to check in the front desk associate was already yelling at another guest whose reservation they did not honor. He, in very broken english, informed them and myself that the hotel was full and the fact that we had reservations and confirmations was irrelevant. Late in the evening I was on the search for another property with vacancy when there were multiple large events in town. Addtionally, as I was standing there several guests who did have rooms came to the front desk, they were all very sketchy and I realized quickly this is not a safe place to stay. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise that they didn't honor the reservation. DO NOT book this property!

The staff were very friendly and the desk clerk was awesome. But that's where the good ends. Upon walking into the motel it reeked of stake cigarettes and musty odors and I instantly regretted my choice. Once I got to my room it got worse. The air was stale and hot as the AC wasn't on (it's July) and it didn't get very cool. EVERYTHING SMELLED BAD. The air, the bedding, the bathroom, all smelled like stale cigarette smoke mixed with must and slight ammonia and some other unclean smells. When I left, EVERYTHING I owned and brought into the room - my bag, all my clothes, down to my hairbrush - reeked of the same odor. Two days later and everything I haven't washed thoroughly still reeks of this place. AVOID. THERE'S A REASON IT'S SO CHEAP!
