Property doesn’t have an elevator, hallways were extremely humid, entrance doors didn’t have working locks, people hanging out in the parking lot, water leaking out from the AC, bathroom door had a huge gap between the door frame; others can see you sitting on the toilet from the outside of the bathroom and front was unattended pretty often.

The hotel didn’t have clean toilettes. The refrigerator wouldn’t close good so our food wouldn’t stay cold. The bedroom was just sitting on a board, it was not stable. No iron or a table. But I guess you get what you paid for. I will not stay there again tho.

I've stayed in roadside motels, truck stop hotels, and places with questionable reviews, but this was easily the dirtiest room I've ever had the misfortune of paying for.

The sheets weren't white—they were a disturbing shade of yellow-brown that looked like they'd been washed in coffee and regret. There was hair everywhere: on the bathroom floor, in the shower, on the sink, and somehow even on the \"clean\" towels. It felt less like checking into a hotel and more like interrupting the previous guest halfway through their stay.

The shower even came with someone else's used bar of soap still sitting there. Apparently housekeeping's cleaning process consists of opening the bathroom door, shrugging, and leaving.

The sink was cracked, the room looked like it hadn't seen a mop since the last presidential administration, and the fire alarm had literally been dismantled. Nothing inspires confidence quite like realizing the smoke detector has already given up on life.

Every surface was sticky, dusty, stained, or all three. The furniture looked exhausted, the room smelled like mildew mixed with bad decisions, and the entire place felt one failed health inspection away from becoming a condemned building.

Calling this place \"run down\" is generous. It has been run over, backed over, abandoned, and forgotten. If dirt were a luxury amenity, this hotel would deserve five stars.

Save your money, sleep in your car, pitch a tent in a Walmart parking lot, or take your chances with a park ben

The shower don’t really work we have problems with the toilet. The front desk said that they would give us another room and then claimed they were full when the whole thing was basically empty. The walls are so thin you could hear your neighbors conversations. I obviously wouldn’t recommend anybody stay here unless you’re desperate and on a budget

La TV de la habitación 127 no funciona.
Las sabanas de la cama King son de cama Queen o menor.
Hotel tenebroso, debido a los vagabundos en las cercanias.
No tienen ni café matinal.

When I came back from my show in the middle of the night the clerk was nowhere to be found and I had had my wallet stolen, which had my room key, so I was stranded in the lobby for a good hour. Every Motel 6 I've been to in the last year has been deplorable. Don't come here unless you have to.

Book your stay elsewhere! When we checked in the ceiling in the lobby was falling down, there was nothing welcoming at all about this lobby. I was weary about staying at this point, we went ahead and got checked in. When we opened the door to the room my heart dropped, this trip was to see my son graduate from boot camp and have his overnight liberty, the thought of having my family stay here brought me to tears. We ended up getting a refund and staying at another hotel.

Suspicious activities going on with people exchanging money in the hallway. One woman looked like she was on drugs with scabs all over her body. Drinking in the back of the premises.walked outside the second night and a man was bringing a woman inside who looked like she was under the influence. Room next door was blasting tv and constantly arguing and talking very loud. Great Lakes should really look into recommendations for stays.

My stay was a nightmare. This hotel not only had cockroaches everywhere, but there were numerous long term residents who were constantly loud, loitering outside the building drinking alcohol and doing drugs, and coming and going all hours of the night. The hotel staff did nothing to quiet the parties because they were obviously just interested in the room rental income. I called and complained about how noisy it was numerous times, the staff’s reply was, “what can we do about it?”. I don’t know why, but the police showed up 2 times in 3 days. There was hair in my sink and bathtub from the previous occupants, along with cockroaches EVERYWHERE. It was absolutely disgusting. Beware! This place is a dump!

I’ll never stay here again. I left the room and when I got back I couldn’t get back into the room. Why?? Because someone was in it and had locked themselves in it. After a few tries of my door handle the door finally opened and out walked a female in her early twenties. She said “sorry”. I said “how did you get in here?” She said the door was unlocked. I know for a fact it wasn’t unlocked because I double checked before I left. She had rummaged around then just walked out the hotel. When I complained to front desk they apologized and said they’d look into it. To be fair the owners were courteous. The guy at the front desk asked if she was wearing a hoodie and a backpack so he recognized her. Never again!
