I’ve stayed at decent-ish Motel 6s before, but this was not it. I would not stay here again. There is a faux cop car out front (should have been the first red flag) & the lobby reeked of weed. The woman at the desk when we checked in wasn’t very welcoming. Upon entering the room my husband was going to have with one or two of our kids, we were just excited to put down our food & luggage. There was no phone, no chair for the desk & no trash cans. We made due. The look of the room was totally underwhelming. The walls were dirty & the bathroom had a makeover that I could’ve done. Once my daughter & I were done eating, we gathered our things & went to our room. 1st of all, it smelled like an ashtray when we entered. I spotted a cockroach on the wall, there was a dirty washcloth hanging on the shower rod, balls of hair on the bathroom floor & the hot water didn’t work in the sink. The peephole was broken, so there was stuff shoved in it & the safety latch was barely hanging on. The ONLY reason I’m leaving 2 stars vs 1, is that when I went back up to the front desk, there was a man behind there at that point & he put us in a different room. I would have left if I hadn’t been so exhausted to figure out the refund policy since I didn’t book directly through the motel.

YOU'D BE BETTER OFF SLEEPING IN A CAR OR A TENT

It is a disgustingly dirty, smelly, horrible hotel. The man at the front desk described the rooms as “nice,” which tells me they don’t see the need for improvement. The walls in the room were dirty and stained, the internet did not work, and the air conditioning was malfunctioning—I was hot and uncomfortable the entire night. I would have been better off sleeping in my car. No person should stay in that filth. The person at the front desk the next morning was the dirtiest, grimiest-looking individual I’ve ever encountered, with rotted-out teeth and an unfriendly attitude.

King Memory

Solid value inside the loop. 212 had a King-Sized Memory-Foam Bed! (The headboard was crooked.) TV was ROKU which i find more enjoyable than cable, and the A/C worked quickly on a hot day! It served its purpose.
