The hotel staff never took out the trash around the property. Therefore, trash was piling up everywhere. When asked for more towels or washcloths, it seemed more of an issue than anything. You get what you get for the price but it does NOT look like the pictures.

Never again

Not so good; left early. Room had a toilet seat ready to fall off, towels for shower are really hand towels, no room service, impossible to change on line or over the phone being told "we are completely booked and unable to change room type when there is actually 4 cars in the parking lot the whole stay. Room 133 two doors down is used as a housekeepers dog kennel, trash cans were overflowing the entire stay. Late night arrival was put right over my room and they dragged furniture or dead bodies around until 2am only to start again at 6am. Courtyard is dead weeds and dirt. No ice machine or ice bucket if there were one. At least the AC unit worked!

Hotel from hell

Horrible!! When you book a room with two beds you expect at least a queen and not two single beds. The shower was horrible. Who puts a spout on a half circle dome facing the wall and a shower curtain to keep the water in?? Beds felt like your sleeping on the floor and the room was not even big enough for a family of 4 let alone not even for two people

Service

Mr. Z was the counter check in person. He was very friendly and remembered me from several past visits. He went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied with my room and conditions. He sven delivered ice to my room when the ice maker in the lobby was down. Motel 6 needs mire employees like Mr Z!
