I took a bath and paint was peeling off and floating around in the tub. They supplied one bath towel so I had to go to the front desk to get more and all they gave me was a bath towel that felt like sandpaper, and a bath mat. No hand towels no wash cloth. The hotel has a significant amount of guests who live there and we were put across the hall from a mentally ill person who was in the hallway screaming for several hours with what sounded like a toddler screaming back.

Staff was responsive and friendly. But room was dirty—there was garbage under the bed, food (I hope it was just food) on the wall, and no towel rack in the bathroom.

Was offered Meth when I arrived. No one was at the front desk until 20 minutes, thankfully it took that time to see this place was full of druggies living their full time including prostitutes. I left right away. Expedia should remove this crackhouse and compensate this poorly run motel 6. Very scary.

For the overall price it was what you paid for. For a kings bed at $125 the sheets were clean and the bed was made. There was crumbs on the counter and hair on the table and counter space. I wiped down everything with cleaning products and got no grime. I'd say it's just a little run down and needs a paint job. But you get a safe place to rest, ac, and a room. Overall, with a tight budget I would stay again.

Pretty bad but not he worst place

Not the very worst I've stayed at, but wouldn't stay there again. Found a cockroach crawling up the wall within a few minutes, the pillows were super thin, and there was an overall stench in the place.

Nasty

One word to describe this hotel, unclean. There was only one towel in the hotel room, asked for more, received a singular towel that had a suspicious red stain. We found a long hair found in the bathroom and the hallway smells like piss. I would rather sleep outside next time. If you hate someone, tell em to sleep here.

Zero stars

We arrived at 11:10 from NC. (Almost 13 hours driving) My nephew and I went in, checked in (second door was locked to get into lobby, just figured because it was late) the next day I realized we only had 1 towels, no washcloths. I asked for them and was only given a single towel. We ended up buying washcloths to bathe. Front desk gentleman refused to give more after housekeeping took out only 2 towels and didn't replace them. Shower looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. Ended up having to go to a friend's to shower. they wouldn't change my room. Desk attendant fussed at me for asking for more than a single towel for 2 people. Left a day early and came home. Unfortunately they took our money so I couldn't get another room.
