They gave us the wrong room and we had to move. First room the phone did not work, there was a refrigerator that couldn’t be plugged in anywhere. Second room smelled of cigarettes, this is a non smoking motel. At two am a dog in one if the room started barking for a half hour. We tried calling front desk and no one answered. The particular Motel 6 rents rooms to people for 28 days at a time. One room had 4 children and their parents staying in it, rooms are very small. Many guest had large dogs, one had two large pitbulls. My friend is severely asthmatic and to use his recuse inhaler more than normal because of the many guest smoking in their room. I have stayed at many Motel 6 sites all through the US and I have to say this is the worse one I have ever stayed at.

The motel property is barely at the edge of the downtown area and was surrounded by tents, trash, and the unhoused sleeping on the sidewalks and sitting on the corner of the building, which is only 10ft from the front door. When we checked in we were told there were NO PARKING spots available in their very small parking lot, street parking on a weekend was non existent and the nearest parking lot was $20. We were given a small corner room that clearly had not been properly cleaned in a long time, there were two blue hand towels and no other towels. We had a random man come to our door to ask if we had towels and thought he was bringing more when we told him no, but we ended up having to go down to the front desk to ask for the towels. Noise was non-stop and mostly from outside car racing. I’m also pretty sure someone on the floor below us was drilling something in their room from 11p-3a. The floor we were on smelled like fresh cigarette smoke, old cigarettes, nag champa incense, and like a cat had sprayed the hall. There was a giant dust hairball in the elevator and when that was picked up it was replaced by trash. Will never stay here again.

Horrible experience people next door were playing music loudly and having people come in and out like a party house. I just wanted rest and couldn’t get that. The air unit did not work either time

Filthy Rooms, Homeless Location and Sketchy Mgmt!
They assigned us the last remaining room which was a smoking romo on the ground level with a smell of cigarettes and tobacco stains on all the walls. They told us they will comp us for the night if we didn't cancel our multi-day stay. While they did move us to a different room the next day, they completely ignored the first night's experience and then ghosted us. Stay away!

My husband and I usually have no issues with staying at Motel 6 but other than the location, this one was one of the worst places we have stayed. They put us in an extremely small corner room and the room felt dirty. There was brown “stuff” all over the floor and when we called house keeping, we were informed it was not dirt but rather “stains”. The lady demonstrated by scraping her finger on the floor to show us that the brown stuff didn’t come off. There were no blankets on the bed, only sheets. My husband had to go down to the desk to ask for more towells, pillows (they only had 2 flat ones on the bed), and the missing blanket. This is the first hotel we have stayed at that didn’t have any shampoo in the bathroom. When we asked about it, we were told they don’t have any. The bed was mega uncomfortable and both my husband and I had sore backs from sleeping in it. Luckily, we were only staying 2 nights so we sucked it up. The price was right and yes, the location is good for walking around but other than that, there weren’t many positives. The room only had 1 chair in it which is all that would fit, I kid you not. One of us had no place to sit. Oh yeah and there was construction that began early in the morning literally right outside the window. I don’t know how full the place was on those nights but I’m pretty sure that had to be the worst room in the building that they gave us. My husband and I are not picky people whatsoever but we would not stay here again.
