After a 7 hour drive, I arrived at 2:00 and staff wanted $22 extra to let me check in before 3:00. Highway robbery. Also, even though I reserved a Queen bed, I had to accept 2 double beds or wait 2-3 more hours for a Queen (6 pm) Clerk was trying to be helpful

Worst place we have ever stayed. We checked out after the first night and were supposed to stay 3. My wife had an allergic reaction to something from the room. The room was dirty. The floor had hair and dirt the sheets and pillows were dirty. There was endless things broken and the air conditioning didn’t blow cold. Don’t waste your money staying here. But the staff was nice.

This place is inexpensive to stay. You do get what you pay for and everything is in line with the price I paid. Ie. It a place to take someone for date night, but absolutely fine for a couple on a budget. I would stay here again.

We had to move from our first room, the bathroom wasn’t cleaned at all, toilet paper all over the floor. The room smelled so strong of cigarettes. My kids couldn’t stand it. The second room was clean but beds were like sleeping on the floor. Had to think of it like camping. No in room coffee and property was out as well. It was honestly one thing after another.

Not a safe place for anyone!

Front desk service was horrible. We get there and theres signs at the front desk CASH ONLY. He stated he called me and left a voicemail to let me know they took cash only for now and that was a lie. Parking lot blocks one side of parking and theres a security after like 8 or 9pm checking your pass. That shows me its not a safe area if they gotta hire a security for that. In the morning i heard someone cussing and threatening someone. Beds are so stiff and small. No ice on vending machine and bums roaming around. Never again!!

My stay at Motel 6 (Room 121) was extremely disappointing. The towels appeared dirty and not properly cleaned. Basic amenities were lacking - only a bar of soap provided with no shampoo, lotion, or body wash. Most concerning were the roaches I found in the room. The constant noise made it impossible to sleep, and the bed quality was poor. This location is definitely not suitable for families. Would give 0 stars if possible. Look elsewhere for your accommodation needs.
