The hotel was clean and well priced. It was quiet and comfortable. What I did not like at all was the bait and switch. I booked a hotel called "Blu" and stayed at a Motel 6. Not cool.

Lost our reservation number. Staff was untrained or not trained properly. Charged for two days when we only stayed one day There was a tornado which caused us a delay in getting there the first day yet we were charged for two days. We love Hotels.com, but this stay was a nightmare. Where can re clam the day that was not provided by Hotel Blu formerly Motel 6?

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The location was good. The room was fairly quiet (I could hear a lot of walking above me at 2am...). It was clean and the staff was great. The TV wouldn't stay connected. I would watch about 30 seconds of the show and it would cut off...then power back on a few seconds later. I finally just turned it off and put a movie on my tablet. The door security latch was broken...like completely gone. So I wedged a chair under the door for extra piece of mind. There appeared to be a maxi pad paper stuck to the wall in the shower... 😂 Overall, good experience. Would stay here again.
