Staying here was okay, of course if you're looking for a 5 star clean hotel this not the place. One of the restrooms had black mold. The toilet seat was dirty in the last room i stayed and dirt on the floor i had to sweep myself. And i honestly was hesitant on showering cause the shower head is disgusting and i didnt bring my cleaning supplies to clean and disinfect the shower head. The staff there is pretty understanding though.

Motel 6 budget

Well it was quiet but the room was pretty much empty had a TV in a bed that's it. No microwaves no coffee maker only one outlet to plug my phone into no clock just two bars of soap and a couple of cups and a few towels. I paid $100 a night for that two nights and I had to climb outside stairs to get to my room upstairs the outside bright LED light was so bright that it bled through the Windows and I didn't even need to turn on the lights in the room it was plenty and the beds are shot need to be replaced
