This is by far the WORST place I've been in & that includes 3rd world countries. Security doors into bldg broken & whole place stinks. 1st "non smoking" room, reeked of smoke & was filthy. Tried a 2nd & 3rd but they had had no frig or Microwave, which all rooms were supposed to have. Whole place is very scary & poorly ran. Got a refund & went to a lovely Super 8 across the road for $5 more.

I had to have my key card reactivated everyday. The large gap under door allowed all the noise from occupants and their pets to intrude, the air/heat unit was noisy, the tv kept loosing its signal. The base of the toilet was dirty and hairy. The waste basket had dried excrement on it. My room was cleaned only on the 1st of three days. There was no do not disturb card. The hotel office had the same trash on the floor from the first day to the last. Fire doors were propped open. Their was no “snack bar” available. The staff do not appear to know how to greet or wish someone a good stay. Or even to ask if they may be of any assistance in any other way. Training is definitely needed at this facility.

Very dirty and stinky

Easily located off the interstate with plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby......the only thing I didn't like was the rooms next to me coming and going all night between rooms......sit still people,....geez!

From the moment I got there I knew it was a mistake! It was a thug guest in the motel lobby having a conversation with the motel staff “Like they were the best of friends”. Let me add that I did not check into the motel until 4:45a.m. because I got off of work at 4:00 am. Both parties the thug and the staff looked like they were on some kind of drug. I walked in the lobby and the thug approach me will I was checking in asking me where my man was, I told him my husband was in the car. He insisted that I was lying, so both men looked at each other and the thug, nudged me on the arm in said “ don’t worry this is my uncle” then he ran away. I looked around frantic, urging the motel staff to hurry up and put me in my room. He assured me everything was ok, but he gave me a room located in a very eerie part of the motel, all the way in the back where it was very poor lit and on the second level. Once I got to the back of the building, that thug was there to greet me down stairs, so when I saw him standing downstairs I drove my car to the other side of the building, and decided to walk the long way to my room, while he wait downstairs expecting my arrival. Once I reached my room I heard some running up the stairs of my floor. I hurried up and put the security latch on the door. Next thing I know the thug was knocking on my door ! I immediately called the police, I was terrified, how did he know what room I was in? The attendant had to of told him. Essentially, the police came and e

rooms are in v good condition. common areas clean, but wear & tear evident. staff excellent.

The staff was very nice and the room was clean. It is an inexpensive place, so you get your moneys worth. I'm just saying.

Very friendly staff. Bare bones room but clean. The room has been updated (except the bathroom fixtures). I liked that they replaced the carpet with pergo.

I almost always stay at Motel 6's because I travel so much with my dog. The pet policy of Motel 6 is probably the best out there. This Motel 6 is very conveniently located if one is traveling on any one of the interstates that intersect nearby. It was very clean and friendly. There were 2 of us there. We and our dogs had a very nice stay.

Don't expect it to be a nice hotel. It isn't. That's reflected in the price. But for what you're paying, it's totally acceptable. And the staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
