I feel really bad giving a bad review because I try not to complain. But honestly, this place was a dump. I’m pretty sure there are people living there, and there was lots of questionable activity in the parking lot. On the bright side, I was there for four days, and have to admit that nothing bad happened to me. I’m at least thankful for that.
the staff was nice but the property is very sketchy. people were sleeping in the halls and propping open the doors that were supposed to be locked unless you had a key card. people were also hanging out outside. the carpets were very dirty and it was the same trash in the staircase during our stay. The lights in the hallway were flickering and it felt like we were in a horror movie. Our room was okay but I did see a roach in the bathroom. I didn’t even want to use the covers/towels because the property was disgusting.
Very bad hotels smelled like cigarettes smoke in the room

Although, this Motel 6 was an old building, nothing like the pictures representing it on line, it was clean! The room was clean, fresh towels with body soap daily. The staff was wonderful!
Despite the construction I was still able to access them. I have been staying there a year now & will continue using them

The room wasn't the best but it served it's purpose. The staff and service was excellent, the maintenance guy was very helpful and the front desk guy always had fresh coffee ready for us, everyone was very polite and courteous, and I loved that there were so many dogs, it made me miss my fur babies at home lol
