This Motel 8 to pay fare per say $250.00 is suck and insane, where the Motel is full of homeless living there, I was safe just homeless walking around the building. In addition, soap and other staff, in small boxes, like Nasky packages. Customer Services not friendly. Quality of the equipment and furniture the more worse I haven't seen on my life.

There was no mention of remodeling when we scheduled our trip. There was no access to the pool. We had trouble using the key for entering the room, and it took a while to get someone to help us. The bathroom toilets had trouble flushing so, we had to deal with that. We stayed here before, and it was way better last time.

This Motel 6 was very dirty and not very well maintained. Looks very run down. Thankfully our room was mostly clean but still not great (e.g., dirty floors, bathroom). Amenities were poor—no pool access, no toiletries provided except a bar of hand soap, mini fridge not working well. Staff at check in were not friendly. Probably wouldn’t stay here again.

Massive consstruction going on. Main office right smack in the middle of a paint job, which reeked. On the third floor where we stayed patchwork and paint prepping all over. The room itself was fine, roomy. our only window was right over the pool with the only allowed to open 5 inches. No microwave which should be standard in a 100.00 dollar a room night. No coffee maker present which really sucked having to get in the car for for that at 7:00 am..
Ps there were multiple stacks of new ammenities stacked outside on pallets so I imagine in a few weeks the microwave issue will be fixed.

The room was updated and new. Only interaction with the staff was at check in/out. Cleaning staff cleaned my room well and I had no issues with. The main building that I stay in was under major construction/renovation lots of dirt-hold in the wall- security was non existent because that were work throughout the evening into late night/morning. Parking was great I suppose I would stay there when they finish with renovations. NOTE: it was not advertised or any mention of construction/renovation when I made the reservations on line through this app- at least that I could see or made aware of.

I guess there is still construction because they’re still renovating the other half of the buildings, but there is definitely a lot of things they still need to work on a.k.a. probably a new paint job. Elevator needs to be tuned up and looked at a little bit. Y’all need to have more luggage carts. Also, you should put in your room descriptions that you don’t have microwaves anymore since it’s the second time that I’ve come to the new property now and was not able to get a microwave since y’all said the rooms don’t have them anymore. Other than that, I’ll probably be there in the next four months again. Staff is very friendly and welcoming.

The parking lot was very quiet on Saturday night, with less than 10 cars. The reception area had a large moldy wall and looked poorly maintained.

My room was in a separate old one-story building. It had an old smell, stained carpet, damaged walls, and broken baseboards. I did not feel comfortable walking barefoot and kept my shoes on most of the time.

Around 11 p.m., I could clearly hear neighbors talking loudly outside. I also felt itchy during the night and was worried something might be on the bed.

The next morning, my car tire was flat, and I found a piece of cutter blade in the tire. I did not feel this was a comfortable or safe place to stay. I left at 6 a.m., and it ruined my plans for the whole day.

I would not recommend staying here.

Beds had bed bugs, got all bitten up. Went to tell the front desk about it and to check out. They told me that they will have a tech come out and check out the room. The next morning I spoke to a manager and they said the tech said there was nothing because all the beds were “new”. Gave me a refund for one night. Still had two more nights that didn’t get refunded.

The room felt new, maybe recently renovated. The lights were awful, bright blinding sterile lights that made you feel you were in a garage late at night. The towels felt like cars board when using it to dry off or wipe water off your face. There was consecutive wile happening outside our first floor unit, so noisy, dirty and not attractive as debris and dirt collected on the front porch setting up to the door and ultimately in the room. Bright light outside room (like an emergency light) penetrated the areas of the room where the curtain couldn’t cover, so it felt bright all the time. Pointless to have a front porch when it’s blocked by construction, dirty, and there no chairs and light that is brighter than the sun.
I would rather pay more and just not deal with these headaches. These rooms are for transients. Lots of dogs on the property too. Such as pit bulls and large German Shepards. They didn’t seem like friendly dogs and I’m a dog person. Also, temp in room, cannot be regulated well with the poor heating and AC.

I want to start by saying that the evening staff and the morning staff at this motel were both really friendly. I even encountered the evening staff dealing with a, in my opinion, rude customer and he dealt with it really well.
The room that we stayed in was very spacious, and I liked that the floors were not carpeted, so it did give an element of clean. I also liked that the windows were open when we walked in which made the room feel fresh.
OK, now about the cleanliness of the room. I have some slight bias as I was a housekeeper for a high-end Airbnb and a vacation resort so there are some minor things that I think should always be taken into consideration during a clean. Under no circumstance, should there ever be hair left in a bathtub or shower. The idea of a room is that it should feel like no one has ever slept or bathed in there before. We all know they have, but I need to feel like they didn’t. And there was several strands of hair in bathtub, gross. Second, the purpose of using white towels is so your guest can see that they are clean. The towels should have no wear and tear and no stains. Again, it should seem as if no one has ever used this before. While I was in my shower, I unfolded the face towel that was on the counter and sure enough there were stains of what looked like it was someone’s eye makeup that didn’t come out all the way in the wash. This is something that definitely was noticed when folding the towel and was put out anyway.

So to start this review off, I do understand that this is a motel and not a hotel. My friend recommended it and said it was inexpensive and a nice place, so I decided to try it out.
I will start by saying that the views were phenomenal and the beds were very comfortable. The size of the room was extremely large.
Unfortunately, the room was very dirty and smelled of dog pee. When we went to the office they gave us a can of Lysol. I will say that the bed and the bathroom, besides the walls, were clean.
House keeping came in a couple of times, but they just dumped the trash and change the towels.
There was a door that connected to the room next to us that was not locked and we were afraid that the people in the room next to us could come into our room. The people next to us were smoking marijuana, and it came through the door into our room.

The carpet was torn up from the pets that had been allowed in the room. We found various items on the floor and it was crunchy, so it obviously had not been vacuumed. The walls were dirty and had various things hanging like there had been pictures or something, but they had been taken out.
The curtains did not fit the window and we had a hard time trying to close them where people couldn’t see in.
Overall, it wasn’t the worst experience, but definitely not the best. We will probably not stay again. The pictures on the website showed a remodeled room, which we did not get.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I made a reservation with Expedia for this property. I chose the “pay at property” option for my reservation. On the day of check in I arrived around 7pm. The man at the front desk told me my reservation had been cancelled. I checked my Expedia app and my reservation was active. So I asked why was it cancelled. He then proceeds to lie and say that they ran my credit card ahead of time and the card declined so the reservation was cancelled. This was false. I told him my card was active but if I chose pay at check in option why would you run my credit card ahead of time?? I had to call Expedia and they were showing my reservation active
I asked the man at the front desk, let’s say that what he’s saying is true, that my card declined. Why was I not sent a notification of cancellation?
He very rudely said that I don’t need to tell him how to do his job and that I’m expedias problem
Basically because I checked in late he gave away my room is what happened and instead of apologizing and being empathetic he lied and left me with no room for the night and left me for Expedia to deal with me
I proceeded to tell him that he was being rude to me and this wasn’t my fault and he needs better customer service skills for the way he’s treated me and then he tells me there’s no hope for me
What a rude non empathetic way to treat a customer. I will never stay here again

AC unit was making abnormal sound every 4-10 minutes.
$150 cash deposit was not mentioned prior to booking reservation.
Check in was inconvenient due to no wifi systems were down.
The front desk lady didn't know what she was doing.
She didn't let us know how to get to our room. We have to ask other patrons where is the elavator.
Misleading information because it was mentioned newly renovated, but it was under construction.
Check out time was 11:00am
At 10:10 am. Showering and the water stop completely, no communication provided that water will stop.
Outside staircase area smells dog poop.

The room was renovated but the entire building is under construction with trash piled up and only a few rooms available. The staff is very unfriendly, short and rude. They ask for a $150 CASH deposit per room but have no ATM and it’s not on the sites it’s posted on. When I checked out they almost didn’t give me my deposit back. Meaning they chose who they charge the deposit to and who they don’t. The security guard was very creepy and kept mentioning he was armed. Overall very disappointed. Yes it’s close to other stores but it’s worth spending and extra $20 and stay elsewhere where they are a bit more helpful and attentive.

Roof was leaking in our room. No one came to look at it or make repairs. The room smelled of mold and the carpet was wet. One night all of our belongings were soaked in the room. When I spoke with the front desk I was informed they were aware of the leak and that room was not supposed to be checked out to anyone but it was. We were left in the room all week and due to a busy weekend could not find a comparable room available elsewhere. I was told I would receive a $70 refund at the end of my stay (for a week stay in a wet moldy room???) I have not received any refunds to this date and it has been over two weeks. Would do 0 stars if possible, I cannot believe I spent one cent on this hotel.

I’ve stayed at a lot of terrible hotels in the past (even in Third World countries) but this is probably the worst hotel I have ever experienced. The whole hotel is shady. I understand they were doing construction on the first floor, but the lack of communication, the people they had working on it, the sketchy security guard posted by the open door, the lack of general maintenance and filth, put this motel at the very bottom of any list. After a long day, we returned to the room to find that the water was shut off due to construction. They did not inform us until we got to our room. We were told it would be 30 minutes. 30 minutes later we were told it would be 45 minutes. An hour later we were told another 45 minutes. By this time it was after 10 o’clock and we had an early morning the next day. The manager was very argumentative and continued to lie about when the water would come back on. Thankfully, there was a Comfort Inn two blocks away with excellent accommodations - so we got out of there! Not only was this motel disgusting but the consistent lying dragged it on far too long. I will never stay at a Motel 6 again in my life.
