Our AC didn’t work had to stay a whole night without mold everywhere and dirt and we had no showers curtain called the day we arrived the lady was very nice explained there was nothing they could do at the moment but could get a discount and a new room the next morning. So we went down to the front desk the next morning lady was really rude try to lie about management not being there and tried to yell at us like it was our faults. Also took a shower and both me and my boyfriend broke out in hives from something in the water and there was no ventilation in the bathroom leaving it a giant puddle. And the lock on the front door was also broken luckily I had brought a traveling safety lock. Very upset with this place and am stuck here for another 6 nights.

The staff is friendly. The room has roaches, the bed has a big dip where my husband has to put pillows in the dip to sleep properly. The toilet constantly runs. There are roaches in the tub that will greet you to take a shower with them, we have to leave the bathroom light on so we are not over ran by roaches. There is also a ant problem. These rooms are not worth the cost that they are trying to charge. Plus they want a 100.00 cash deposit (that is supposed to be refundable) There is some type of loud shenanigans that happens in the middle of the night. This place IS ABSOLUTE TRASH!!! Save your money and go to a Days Inn or Clarion.

They put me in a separate building from the main hotel part, when I got up into the hallway, it smelled. I get in the room. The Safe is broken and not working, the door is nasty and looks like it’s gonna fall apart, the toilet wouldn’t flush properly, when you turn the water on it came out brown at first. You took the covers off the bed and there was dark black stains all over it for the sheets. The window wasn’t shut and would not lock on the second floor. The TV wouldn’t turn on didn’t work at all. There was people running up and down the hallway off and on all night, and then a couple was loud fighting in the hallway. Called the front desk to let them know and no one picked up the phone.The room was nasty looking and I had to pay 80 some dollars for this. No I’m not happy. I had talked to Customer Service this morning at hotels.com to see if they can get me a refund but that hotel would not pick up. When I mentioned it to the front desk when I got to where I checked out in the morning, she said oh I’m just so sorry there’s not much I can do about that but I’ll make sure they go and fix it like she dismissed completely. Not happy with my stay and I am not happy with the fact that I had to pay for that and I want a refund. It’s going on Google review that it was horrible.

Room in disrepair, paint peeled off in several places, floor molding not attached for a long stretch. Hairs in the sink, hotel hallway smelled like marijuana, bugs, stained sheets. I checked out early because I couldn’t tolerate the conditions. I reported the conditions to the front desk and contacted hotels.com. The front desk could not be reached by phone. The reservation line did not reflect my early checkout.

The customer service of the hotel generated a complaint to reflect early departure for refund of remaining days.

My review has been rejected three times in 24 hours and I suspect it may have been because it included information that I wish hotel.com did more to help me. If it is rejected again, this will confirm my thoughts…my review did not have the common reasons (personal information, profanity, rate or room # information). If it is rejected again, please tell me why.

From what I’ve heard not all Motel 6 locations are not well-kept, so I took my chances staying here. Thankfully, I brought my anointing oil and air freshener spray with me. The room was clean—the bed and sheets spelled fresh ( surprised) were fine—but there was a musty smell in the air, Thank God I had my spray for the room, curtains,bedroom area.

Ashley and April at the front desk were very nice and professional—great customer service from them.

Management and maintenance need to step up their game. This property has potential, but it also needs rules and better enforcement for guests who stay, so everyone can enjoy a cleaner and more comfortable environment.

There was very little to like about this place.
We couldn't believe that water (hopefully from a mop bucket?!) was squishing up through the floorboards onto our feet, so we were our shoes the entire time we were in the room.
The paint was peeling off much of the walls & the sheetrock was gone in many others.
There were roaches, and the place clearly had not been cleaned ... we were really worried about bed bugs and other creepy crawlies.
Add to the the fact that the woman at the front desk was incredibly rude, and we wouldn't recommend you touch this place with a 39 1/2 ft pole

Absolutely Not

I would give negative stars if I could. I wasn’t expecting much from a motel 6, especially for the price. BUT…the exceeded my expectations of nothing. Check in was at 3pm. I arrived at 5pm. Room#1 - looked like some one started to clean it but never finished. Room#2 was trashed still. Asked for my money back and was told the do. It so that for the first nights stay they have to accommodate me. Room#3. Looked better. We were running late for our event so we dropped and left. When we got back I pulled the blankets down to lay down and the bed was filthy. Like actually dirt from the yard. And a clean sheet was places to make it look better. I crawled in bed with my daughter - her sheets has foot prints on them. When we first arrived at the room for the evening we could not figure out the tv- well it was unplugged. Plugged it in and on it went. The volume was set to decimal a million. We could not change the volume or the channel and quickly understood why the tv was unplugged. Everything v probably was about 45 mins before we just decided we were going to drive home or sleep in the car at midnight. When I gave the girl my room key, she asked why I was checking out- she knew. And then explained the room 3 was not much better just better at hiding the mess. She told me to have a good night and we left. I’m pretty sure most of the people on property leave there. That did not bother me but people act different in a motel/hotel than home so it was more like a dorm feel.

We stay here frequently and it is an economy hotel so you get what you pay for but this time it was rough. They put us in the back building and it was very dirty. The curtains were not attached to the rod, the shower and bathroom were in desperate need of a remodel and the ceiling had a once inch crack that ran the length of the room and even into the bathroom. The room and entire building had a nasty odor like mold or something. This is probably the tenth time my wife and I have stayed there but I don’t think I will take that gamble again. I should say the house keeping staff was very friendly which helped the rating. It must be hard to clean a dilapidated room.

🚫 Avoid This Motel at All Costs

This was, without question, the worst hotel experience I've ever had. We reserved two rooms in a back building that resembled a neglected military barrack—far removed from anything shown in the online photos.

The pool was crowded with non-guests blasting loud music, and the parking lot felt unsafe, with homeless individuals lingering nearby. Both rooms were filthy: the beds were heavily stained and rock-hard, and the only furniture consisted of a battered round table and two mismatched chairs that looked like they’d been salvaged from a school dumpster.

One toilet was missing its tank lid and sprayed water when flushed. A sliding glass door in one room wouldn't close properly, compromising both safety and privacy. We were so uncomfortable and appalled that we left immediately to book another hotel.

When we requested a refund, we were directed to email the manager. Her response? No refund, claiming the rooms had been \"used\"—despite our clear explanation that we hadn’t stayed due to the conditions. We then reached out to the corporate office but received no support. Even direct outreach to corporate leadership was met with silence.

⚠️ Believe the negative reviews. Any positive feedback must be from staff or from guests with extremely low expectations. This property is a total misrepresentation—and a serious safety concern.

$100 CASH deposit at checkin

They REQUIRE $100 CASH deposit at checkin. When checking out I asked if anyone forgot their deposit and she said “sometimes”. I believe they require it in cash so that when someone forgets it, they pocket the money. If it were on a credit card, the traveler could block it.

I walked into my room on the first floor. There was at least 30 bugs flying around in the bathroom, ketchup pack in the crack on the table by the bed floor was sticky like a soda has been spilled. Top of the nightstand was sticky. Went to the front desk explain to her the situation, she went to the room come back and said there was nothing wrong with it. It took me several attempts for her to call the manager to move me to room 109. I took pictures of the bugs on the mirror on the walls on the lights as I was showing them to her a customer was there , he was looking at them too and left. All she had to do is give me a new room and not be so rude and nasty it when you stood in the bathroom you were bombarded by these little flying bugs the floor, your foot stuck too. How can she not see that Seem like this front desk lady at the time didn’t care had an attitude but the morning lady, not sure if she was Spanish or not awesome Mormon made up for the rudeness of the previous employee. The overnight man was I was doing laundry my key would not work to get back in. He fixed it in a second was prompt courteous. Unfortunately, the bad experience was when I checked in now I’m staying at Motel 6 off MLK by I.4 I will be here for several months instead of down at the other location
