Sparse feeling but clean, comfortable bed.

The room felt sparse, but it was clean. It looked and smelled newly painted. (There were a couple of paint splatters on the door and the curtains.) The bed had no bedspread or "blanket" but was made neatly and professionally with two cover sheets, which was fine, since it's very warm this time of year. The bed itself was surprisingly comfortable. There was a working air conditioner. The tub/shower in the bathroom was dated and basic, but it functioned fine. The room had some unique retro-modern elements, like a little table with a booth seat on one side,a yellow, maybe Ikea?towel holder,and 3 large mirrors! It may have been in the midst of a slow redecoration process. There was a working TV with a remote that hung kinda high for its size, with a lot of wires hanging underneath. There was a small microwave and fridge, which I didn't use, but I know the fridge was working. The guy at the check-in counter was neither pleasant or unpleasant. He was just there. To be fair, he was probably tired, because he was still there when I checked out.

Employees at check-in desk were rude and uncooperative. They told us they only had one room for us and even after I showed him my receipt for two rooms they said no. They told us it was Expedia’s problem. We went to another hotel. Expedia, by the way, has refused to reimburse us. I won’t work with Expedia or Motel 6 again.

Affordable and clean

This was a week long trip, stayed here the first and last night. First night the employee at check in was rude. Different person the next time, was efficient but not friendly. First night I was on the second floor, the room below had a dog that barked throughout the night. Second night was quiet. Room was clean but furniture was not the best condition. Shower faucet leaked into the tub. Overall a 7 out of ten. I would recommend looking at other motels in the area.

There was nothing to like or unique about this location. The place from the pictures may look like it’s clean but it isn’t. There was hair on our beds, and we don’t have any long hair so I know it wasn’t mine or my sons. The floor was gritty and was filthy. My socks were completely black after one evening walking without slippers, Disgusting!!! The shelves by the sink was leaning to the right and the edging was pealing off and hanging. The shelf in the bathroom was hanging and about to fall. No exhaust for the bathrm, the towels are small, the sink was dirty, the TV ( ha what a joke)looks to be 22” better off without one. The refrigerator makes loud noise which kept me up so I went to talk to the front desk & they told me it’s old so it is what it is, the beds are horrible and I not gonna talk about the coffee in the Lobby or storage area when u first walk into the establishment, like who stores roof racks and large boxes by the coffee table & ice machine,( idk ) There was marker graffiti on the parking lot fence with a racis comment to the owners of the establishment. This was my 1st & last time ever staying at a motel 6, HQ should really look into this establishment and all for that matter and get them to get back to basics. Motels don’t have to be this bad.

Confirmed online a nonsmoking room, and once I arrived, attendant Sia tried to put me in a smoking room and then wanted to charge me to move to a nonsmoking. I called the site that I made my reservation through and had them argue the point for them to honor the reservation. Bought and used Lysol, Fabrise and wet wipes to bear the smell and nastiness.

2nd Worst hotel stay in 40 years

Every single piece of furniture in this room is broken or damaged in some way. Everything is dirty. The room smells like smoke. The metal walkway outside the room echoes like a submarine.
