I Double checked after I called and asked if there was a bathtub in the room, as I am injured and wanted to soak. The lady told me yes and handed me my key. It was a walk in shower. There was no need to lie.

The first room we were in was infested with cockroaches and it was very dirty. They also charge a $30 early check-in fee. The police were there.

It was in better condition than most of the Motel 6 I’ve stayed in. The building wasn’t in the best shape but the room was acceptable. It was very cold even with the heater on. But the price was right through Expedia.
