The first room smelled like someone smoked drugs in there and the second room had what looked like dried blood in the basin and yellow stains which looked like urine all over the wall. I didn’t go into the bathroom when I went into the second room until after I returned from eating dinner. When I walked in I was appalled and disgusted by what I found. I immediately grabbed my things and went to the front desk. I decided that I could no longer stay at this property and when I informed the lady at the rest of the situation she offered up nothing by way of an apology and said “I wish you would have told me sooner so I could put you in another room!” When I informed her it was my second room she replied “oh, well I guess you have to talk to the manager because I can’t give you your money back!” I was so pissed they I just left due to her flippant behavior.. I want all of my money back! That place is horrible!!!

I've had pleasant stays at other Motel 6 locations, such as the one near LAX, so I came in expecting a similar, reasonably comfortable experience. I was sadly mistaken. This particular location was deeply unsettling from start to finish. The room reeked of stale smoke and other unidentifiable smells. The smells got into my clothes and hair AND the bed smelled also. I smelled like the room all day. The air conditioning unit was visibly packed with dirt and grime. Turning on the heat only amplified the terrible smells circulating through the room. The floors were inexplicably sticky, and most alarmingly, there appeared to be dried blood on one of the nightstands. The shower floor had a noticeable lean to it and wasn't entirely flat, making it awkward and uncomfortable to stand in. I originally booked a two night stay. When I returned to my room after my first day out, I found my room completely tossed. To make matters worse, my room key had been deactivated. I had to walk back down to the front desk three separate times because the replacement keys they kept programming simply did not work. After waiting around for about 20 minutes, a manager finally had to come up to make my room back up. I would strongly advise avoiding this particular Motel 6. Unless it is your absolute last resort and you have zero other options, you are better off looking elsewhere. Even then, I’d honestly rather just sleep in my car.

There was a trash bag full of trash in the trash can, I requested a room change because a room was right next to the laundry room it was loud noisy couldn't rest it was very obvious that the hotel wasn't full and there were some rooms available, went to the front desk to request a room change and the person at the front desk was rude and irrespectful she started screaming and told us that if we want it we leave and she will refund us the money.

The receptionist at front desk was nice. Looks like the sheets were not even changed out. The shower stall needs a major upgrade, does not look clean, has yellow stains, I even showered with my sandals on, the shower curtain is about to fall apart, it is literally just hanging on by threads. Not to mention the roach we found!

Upon checking into our room #102; there was a musty smell we thought would go away when turning the AC on, it never went away. There were only two SHOWER TOWELS no WASH CLOTHS no FLOOR DRY-OFF TOWELS.. Not having NORMAL/BASIC IN-ROOM AMENITIES such as SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER OR LOTION is unacceptable; as sometimes traveling for business or an extended one day trip would probably help to make for a better stay. For the value of said room it was definitely not what was expected. The room was not one bit as it was described or pictured in the add on EXPEDIA.COM. The only thing that did appear to be in decent shape in the add was the orange towel holder in the restroom. The shower floor is cracked with paint peeling. One of the mattresses was full of burn marks that were visible through the thin outdated sheets. There is an active water leak coming from the connecting room #101. I don't ever write negative reviews; this is by far the worst stays I've had. I will make sure to make my voice heard by EXPEDIA. Advertising should be done by having correct information or other actual bad reviews to ensure lodging properties are providing what they are offering.

First off when I walked in to check in, I let them know I had a reservation and they said it was “canceled”! The receptionist had a horrible attitude, given the fact that they had to find a room to give me I still said thank you and all and she ignored me. We walk into the room and it was definitely smoked in, the bathroom was disgusting and dirty as if they just restocked it with towels and toilet paper after the last person. The floors were not cleaned at all, my kids walked around the room barefoot and it got to the point where I had them wear shoes the entire time they walked around on the floor. We asked for additional towels early in the morning and they were brought by late at night after we had all showered and used the old towels we already had used that were wet. The TV does not work at all, only the news was available to watch and the ac turned off constantly. I do not recommend this motel at all, there’s people walking around outside as if it’s an apartment complex listening to loud music, smoking and all

The night shift lady did not even look at me as I greeted her , instead she kept scrolling through her phone. As soon as we walked into our room it smelled like nasty cigarettes. The smell wasn’t covered up right. That ac/heater sounded like an airplane engine , one of the beds were missing a pillow , the towels that were folded had leftover hair in them and those beds were so cheap they made noises every time I would turn around. I tried going to bed around 1am but the neighbors had loud music on. The curtains had nasty stains on them. That place is not properly cleaned

As well as can be expected! The the floors, walls, and surfaces in the room were visibly dirty. The toilet did not flush well. The bathroom floors were swollen and bowed, presumably due to shower or toilet flooding and humidity. Shower had black mold spots and stained floor. The AC unit was very dirty/dusty and smelled of mildew and wet dog. However, the most important part— the bed and bedding— was clean! Check in and out was a smooth, easy process.

If they just cleaned the floors and walls, It would a much nicer experience! If you need a place to crash for one night, you’ll be okay probably.

The property is extremely rundown. It doesn’t look like anything‘s been remodeled since the place has been built. The flooring in the shower was disgusting. It’s a cheap hotel so I expected nothing great but this was far below my expectation. The people above us were up until 3 AM but that’s what kind of people are going to frequent this hotel. When we left in the morning, we could hear him on the phone arguing with his significant other about the possibility of going to jail, and he was yelling at her like he was upset with her. Not a good stay.

The rooms were HORRIBLE - we stayed there just to catch an early flight and we would've been better off just sleeping in the airport. The staff that checked us in was friendly - she did her job. The problem are the rooms - they just smell and you can tell that they're *lightly* cleaned. I'm also pretty sure they have bed bugs.
