Homeless people everywhere outside the building, inside is very dirty, smells like urine and wet dog. Owners live in the motel and many of the rooms are rented out as if they’re apartments. The walls are nicotine stained and the beds have cigarette burns. They charge a $50 deposit and you only get $12 back. Do not recommend staying there.

Strong smell of smoke everywhere even though rooms were non-smoking. Surfaces and floor were sticky. Cigarette burnt bed sheets. Dirty linens with stain and hair. Saw a few roaches. Fortunately we only needed to stay one night and we had to leave very early the next morning. Saw a lot of homeless people in the vicinity.

The place was disgustingly dirty and worn down. English was not the native tongue of the person at the front desk. There were no towels in the room and it smelled like smoke. I went back to the front desk to complain about the smoke and he said you will lose your deposit if you smoke in the room. Even if they collected the deposit for the previous person that smoked in the room, they made no attempt to remove the smoke stench. The drawer on the dresser was broken. The light next to the bed didn’t have a lightbulb and the sheets were stained I slept on top of the bed in my sweatpants that i wear to the gym because I would not crawl under the covers. They had a coin operated washer and dryers and it seemed like a homeless shelter. I can’t believe Hotels.com even had it as an option on their site for this place. It was absolutely disgusting. Even though I have used Hotels.com for 80-90% of my reservations, i will not use them again. Let me upload my pics and a video and you will see this is an accurate description.

I took a bath and paint was peeling off and floating around in the tub. They supplied one bath towel so I had to go to the front desk to get more and all they gave me was a bath towel that felt like sandpaper, and a bath mat. No hand towels no wash cloth. The hotel has a significant amount of guests who live there and we were put across the hall from a mentally ill person who was in the hallway screaming for several hours with what sounded like a toddler screaming back.

Was offered Meth when I arrived. No one was at the front desk until 20 minutes, thankfully it took that time to see this place was full of druggies living their full time including prostitutes. I left right away. Expedia should remove this crackhouse and compensate this poorly run motel 6. Very scary.

For the overall price it was what you paid for. For a kings bed at $125 the sheets were clean and the bed was made. There was crumbs on the counter and hair on the table and counter space. I wiped down everything with cleaning products and got no grime. I'd say it's just a little run down and needs a paint job. But you get a safe place to rest, ac, and a room. Overall, with a tight budget I would stay again.

The rooms were dirty and smelled. Not one ice machine worked. Lobby dirty. Charged us a fifty dollar deposit that they said Expedia would refund. Please let us know when refunded.

Nasty

One word to describe this hotel, unclean. There was only one towel in the hotel room, asked for more, received a singular towel that had a suspicious red stain. We found a long hair found in the bathroom and the hallway smells like piss. I would rather sleep outside next time. If you hate someone, tell em to sleep here.

Zero stars

We arrived at 11:10 from NC. (Almost 13 hours driving) My nephew and I went in, checked in (second door was locked to get into lobby, just figured because it was late) the next day I realized we only had 1 towels, no washcloths. I asked for them and was only given a single towel. We ended up buying washcloths to bathe. Front desk gentleman refused to give more after housekeeping took out only 2 towels and didn't replace them. Shower looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. Ended up having to go to a friend's to shower. they wouldn't change my room. Desk attendant fussed at me for asking for more than a single towel for 2 people. Left a day early and came home. Unfortunately they took our money so I couldn't get another room.

Told the rooms on the second floor are cleaner and for the ‘good customers’. If this is cleaner I can’t imagine how horrible the first floor must be. The room smells. They handed me a spray air freshener which masks the stink for about 5 minutes.
The positives:
I think the sheets were clean and the air conditioner worked.
The lower price was not worth it.

It’s a Motel 6 not the Ritz

Front desk was very helpful. Had an issue with my card and door. Not sure if the batter in the lock was dying but it had some issues turning the deadbolt. There were high amount of cigarette burns in my blankets and sheets. I even got poked by a broken piece of plastic that was in my bed. There were also no wash cloths.

I did have to remind myself that it was a Motel 6 and not the Ritz. I didn’t expect too much coming in. It was a warm 4 walls once the heater kicked in and the bed itself was comfortable.

I think people live here people hanging out outside all night, smoking pot, smoking, cigarettes, people, yelling, and screaming and other rooms up and down the halls. The only thing I could say was the bed was comfortable. We woke up at 3:30 to start getting dressed for our train we had no hot water in our room, the night before my husband went down to get towels because for a double room with four people we only had two towels and one washcloth. They told my husband they had more towels so me and my husband had to share a towel and my friend and her husband had to share a towel , overall experience was horrible. The hallway smelled like cigarette smoke and I know smoking hotel pot smoke just filled the hotel and the entranceway where people were hanging out it made you feel unsafe.

Poor cleaning service

It appeared the sheets weren't changed. Found several hair strands. The room nor the bathroon had been swept or mopped. Hair and dirt in corners and along the wall.
Bed was fairly comfortable. And the front desk lady was friendly and helpful when we checked in.

Bed Bugs and overall a piece of trash property


I got back home to Vermont, with my brand new sheets I purchased because this place was disgusting, and I saw a large bedbug crawling on the pile of laundry I was waiting to bring in the house. I will be testing the process to get compensated by Motel 6, because this whole experience has been a travesty. Full review below...

------
In town for a concert and not picky about my hotel rooms. The room was filthy. Under the mattress was crumbs and food. The ceiling was falling in from water damage. The air conditioner worked but was covered in dirt. The headboard fell off the wall and revealed massive holes. I brought my disgusting pillowcases and asked for new ones and was given two equally disgusting pillowcases but with a massive hair ball attached.
I was there for 5 minutes before I found a local Target and bought my own set of sheets and pillows.
If I had to guess, 75% of occupancy is long-term tenants with no other options in life.
Hard pass.

We booked this hotel because it was a good price for 5 rooms, and everything else along our route was booked up. I should've read previous reviews before booking. The hotel felt very unsafe. The hallway smelled of weed and urine. My room had stains on the bedding, mosquitos and flies buzzing around. The window to outside did not lock. The toilet in the bathroom was leaking. There was paint or something splattered on the \"desk\" area. The photos that Expedia has for this property are NOT actual photos. The entry area...completely empty of furniture. Trash in the parking lot. There were five of us, and NO ONE felt safe....and we've stayed in some bad places before. There were also just some random people hanging around that looked like their only purpose to was to conduct some shady business.

Please do not stay here. The rooms are cheap because this hotel is an absolute dumpster fire, and needs to be shut down and the building condemned.

You know it's a bad place when you start searching for another hotel almost immediately after checking in. I wish I could say it was the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. But that would only be true if we'd actually stayed there.

This motel needs work ! There was blue and orange paint on the walls and furniture. The toilet didn’t flush properly. The toilet seat was broken. The toilet paper holder was broken. The towel rack was as missing could see where it once was. There were no towels in the room there was one wash cloth on the sink nothing else. Tried to call the front desk for towels but the phone didn’t work. We were on the second floor and I just had knee surgery so I couldn’t go up and down the stairs to get towels. There was trouble with the key but we finally got in. I have stayed at many motels this was by far the worst!

Just bulldoze the place

It was awful! Let’s start, walking in to a no smoking facility smells like smoke. Get to my room. Set my stuff on the bed, and I notice burn holes in the comforter. Bathroom is old, out dated and stained, no sink drain plug. Then I finally fall asleep and at 6 am the power goes out. I wake because my fan and the AC shut down. I think ok thunderstorm, surely they have a backup. They do. They attempt it 3 times, and the power clicks in for a second then shuts down. Power doesn’t get restored until around 8. So I got a whooping total of 2 hours sleep, in a bed that felt like it was springs with a sheet thrown over top of it. Last thing I’ll mention is the door by the stairs was left open and didn’t help with how slick the stairs and foyer was going to the second floor. I’ve been staying in hotels for trips, concerts and vacations for over 25 years, and this was easily the worst experience I’ve ever had!

Honest Review

I booked online because i did not want a 2 1/2 hour drive after the Springsteen show at MVP arena. My fiancee and i checked in at 3pm put the 50.00 incedentals fee on my card got the key and went to the room. The bathroom was not cleaned the floor looked like it wasnt swept.that was rm 249 asked for another got rm 247 , came back after the show pulled the stained bed cover back to find hair on the sheets, but the bathroom was clean. I get the feeling homless people are put up here as the halway had clothes and towles littered outside of doors. I will say the front desk staff were very nice. Seriously upgrades need to be made to rooms , new sheets and bed spreads need to be purchased and keep the reprobates out of there if your going to run a hotel have some pride. Checkout says 11 am if i didnt have to drive i would have left at 2 am not 6 like we did. Yes this is a real review and im not making things up. By the way the photos of the hotel are not what you see when you get there. No i wasnt expecting the Taj Mahal but how about hiring people who know how to clean rooms.

Disappointing

I had a zoom meeting and had a table to place my laptop, but no chair. I had to conduct my business zoom meeting by sitting on the bed. The bathroom sink was very small with little room for my toiletries or to plug in my electric hair setter. The toilet paper was balanced on the handicap accessibility rod because there was no Way to attach it to the toilet roll. The only thing that was good was the price but I doubt I’ll ever come back to you.

Don't do it.

This place was dirty and poorly furnished. Beds sagged in the middle like a hammock. Floors were dirty. The bathroom had a hole in the wall with toilet paper stuffed into it. The tub was missing fixtures. The light fixtures were damaged. Overall it was not something I'd recommend taking anyone but a prostitute too.
