This is a no-frills affordable motel. The rooms are adequate. You get a bed, a desk and a TV stand. Their Wi-Fi/Internet is sketchy but works most of the time. I didn’t need to use the furniture, but my furniture had some broken handles. The bathroom was clean, but it’s very old and shows some wear and tear. All but one of the staff were quite delightful and helpful. I only ran into one front desk, staff person who was rude, curt, and all around just a big prune. But I can overlook that because the rest of the front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Would I stay here again? Probably not but this was all I could afford and my dog got to stay for free.

I can't write anything good about this property. We checked around eight rooms; all had a weed smell, and the sheets and pillow covers had stains and a terrible odor. I almost threw up there. We booked a room with a refrigerator and microwave, but they were not available. Finally, after a long argument, I found a room at 2 AM that was somehow better, where I could barely sleep and checked out first thing in the morning. The staff was extremely rude, and instead of finding a room for us, they gave us keys to find a less stinky room by ourselves.

The door was stuck but as
I looked for my iPhone to call someone to help a worker walked right down the sidewalk and asked if she could help so we got in the room easily. Everything else was straight. It was a nice room. We’ve always stayed in the Motel 6. I always liked your little jingle that we keep the light on for you OK just it was a night we stayed after my granddaughter got married and we needed something close and everybody that I’ve ever recommended Motel 62 was very happy with it so again we got a chance to visit one with a great weekend thank you

One of the worst stays I booked in my life, and the worst facility with false promises and provided room and amenities. They give smoked room even though we asked for non smoking since we had 4 kids to stay, overall terrible and not recommended for families and non-smoking people.

Was probably the nastiest room I’ve stayed in ever. Bathroom sink still had the previous user shave cream and hairs in it as it did drain from the prior tenant before me. Toilet Was leaking around the wax seal and it’s been leaking a long time. From what I could tell an animal stayed in the room prior to me as it smelled like a wet dog. Disgusting. Staff had the motivation of molasses and done nothing. You’ve been warned.

First, when I go to get keys for the two rooms I booked. I was overcharged for one and that my booking did not include two rooms. The price I was charged for one room was about what my reservation for two rooms was. Our rooms were on two different floors. Not ideal if we were traveling with children. Then she checks and said you have a really good rate.

Upon entering the room there was a musty smell. In the bathroom on the first floor room there was mold on celling in the shower. The phone in room did not work. When we went to the front desk to get extra blankets, my wife was told come back in an hour. When she went back they only had one blankets.

The room on the second floor was a little better. But had the same smell and mold in the bathroom shower. The floors were not clean.

My first and last experience with Motel 6, they will not have to, \"LEAVE THE LIGHT ON FOR ME.\"

6 rooms booked, one given away before check-in, one without the refrigerator paid for, one with fecal matter on the bedding, all were dirty with trash and food crumbs left behind, multiple long black hairs on the top sheet visible without even turning them down, body impression on made up bed, crumbs in bed, one without a bath towel. Terrible experience! Now I'm trying to get the credit for the room that was given away. The hotel said they issued the credit, but I need to contact Expedia and in turn Expedia needs to contact the hotel and then I can get my due refund. This is a cumbersome process. I am not only unhappy with the hotel, I am now unhappy with the process of going through Expedia. I will be contacting corporate for Motel 6 and Expedia if needed. Very dissatisfied. Connie

There was no hot water no matter how long it ran so youcouldn'ttake a shower. The mattress had springs that weren't padded & was a horrible night trying to get comfortable to sleep. You can only park on one side of tge building so being on the 2nd floor on the opposite side was a true pain having to go back to the car for luggage. Just felt cheap like a transient stop.

Awful property. Stayed 2 nights.

Night #1 heater/AC unit died. No one to fix it. Huge cricket in the room. Tried to kill it but he hid under the heater/AC. Didn't sleep at all. Bedding was awful. Sheet was paper thin, blanket was only slightly thicker. Mattress was completely shot.

Night #2 I asked for another room. No housekeeping that day and no maintenance people to fix the heater/AC. They accommodated me. 2nd room had another cricket! I got him. Same bad bedding and worn out mattress. Food stain on wall and scuff marks.

Exterior, one stairway was blocked off with plywood and caution tape.

Spend a little more tomstay somewhere else.

Was it amazing? No. Was it a place to stay? Yes.
Did I know what I was getting into? Yes.
Am I going to be honest? Yes.

They’re going under renovations around the property. The staff was great. The room is good, outdated bathroom, just worn out.
Everything was clean, just worn.

Room is a echo to it. If someone sneezes loud enough, you’ll hear it in the next room.
My stay, somebody was having a rave the whole night.
It’s just gonna depend on the day and the time you stay there I guess.

Just utterly horrible stay. I’m in my late 50s and fairly well-traveled, and this was hands-down The Worst place I’ve ever stayed.

The desk was manned by an angry, bitter woman who obviously despises her job. Every time we stepped out of our room, we were harassed by drunk guys who seemed a permanent feature of the upper floor. We never felt safe. Plus our room was filthy, with sticky urine on the floor around the toilet, tar shoe marks on the sheets, and not even a blanket on a bed. Angry desk woman said it was because they don’t have housekeeping.

I’ve left a lot out here, but bottom line: if you’re considering staying here, do yourself a favor and splurge an extra $10 to stay somewhere- anywhere- else. The cheap rate is too costly.
