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!

Property is very run down. Front desk agent struggled to find a clean room for us. Dead weeds all over interior courtyard. Room review: Bed had food crumbs in it upon arrival. Luckily we had our own blankets in the car and used those. Bed was pushed against the wall heater and was a fire hazard. Bathroom was surprisingly clean (towels are bad quality, luckily we traveled with our own), but otherwise ok. TV worked fine. I will never stay there again. Our normal hotel was booked so I gave the motel 6 a try but I couldn’t wait to check out in the morning. Seedy people in the parking lot. Spend the extra $30 and stay somewhere else. This place has the potential to be ok. Obviously they don’t have enough housekeeping staff. If they bought some plain white duvet covers and landscaped the property, and cleaned the actual hotel room it would be fine but currently it is not. Only the bathroom was cleaned.

Room was very small. Heater worked efficiently. Good thing because there was not a blanket on the bed, just a sheet and very light bedspread. The shower was very tiny and not comfortable. All that to say it was adequate for one night.

The room I stayed in had mold in the shower floors and spider webs under the bed and around the HVAC and fridge. The bed was uncomfortable and the roommates upstairs were loud and stomping around in the middle of the night.
