Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I have stayed in some questionable properties before and I can honestly say this was the worse property I have ever stayed at. It is a large property probably 130 or so rooms most of the property is being used for full time residences and everything on the back 2/3 of the property looks like a homeless encampment. Broken down car's, trash and garbage everywhere. We were traveling with a small dog and circled the property looking for somewhere for her to go to the bathroom. Every piece of grassy area was completely covered in dog feces to the point my dog refused to go onto the grassy area's. We had to walk off propery to a lawn at another hotel where she immediately went on the grass and went. There were people out wandering around the property at all times. DO NOT COME TO THIS PROPERTY YOU WILL REGRET IT. A message to Expiedia you do not want to be associated with this property. Send someone to check it out and you will see.

The room had no heat when we first arrived, but warmed up fairly quick. I’m not sure why they left the room unheated when it is pretty chilly outside. The beds are comfortable and the shower was warm. They could use a few more towels.

Absolutely disgusting! Room #129 Cockroaches coming out from behind the baseboards and smaller one's on the walls. What looked to be dried blood in random spots on the walls. Toilet seat was broke off. Black hairs all over the bed and pillows that were flatter than a frogs ass. Some type of stains on both the bed sheet and comforter. Writing on the back of bathroom door that said "murder inn" There's clearly no point in going back to the front desk and complaining due to having a "no refund" policy and it being nothing but one big trap house around the whole back end of the building. I ended up sleeping in my car I definitely wasn't going to request another room to get the same disturbing results.

The interstate noise was there but I slept well enough. The rooms are cheap and worth it if you take my meaning. The motel is quite decayed, and populated with sad cases you might expect. I only saw three roaches in my room. But, nobody bothered me in the two nights.

Had my wife laughed at when going to the office by herself for asking for simple things like towels and then waited for over a day for my door lock to be repaired cause my autistic son likes to run outside and we had to ask multiple times just for it to not happen and to be locked out due to a incident with a separate person who is not related and got kicked out for them being in our room

DON'T STAY HERE

Unfortunately I have to rate this hotel very poor. DON'T stay here no matter how nice the room appears. The motel rents to long term tenants of which do not care for the property. DOZENS, I mean dozens of dog feces all around the grass area of the property. (I have pics). Tenants dont control there dogs and a large one got out of a room and attacked another dog on a l3ash and knocked over the lady and dragged her. Cockroaches in the room, dirty towel. Really one of my worst stays EVER and i travel alot and in some pretty rough areas. Really disappointed in Expedia.and Motel 6 for allowing a trap like this on their websites. Staff seemed nice enough but owner/manager obviously dont care. If you are going to rent to long term tenants then dont rent to travels.

I stayed there for 3 weeks, my booking day was up and I was unaware. They banged on my door at 11pm demanding I open the door and go downstairs to pay, mind you I had been in my room all day and night. I requested to have them use my card on file or to take care of it in the morning and she refused. Worst customer service! Plus them charging my card for 134$ twice with no explanation, waiting 3 days to get it credited back to my account.
