Motel 6 Gentilly

The staff was decently friendly, easy check in/check out. If you are traveling on a budget this hotel is an okay option for prices, HOWEVER, bring your own sheet to sleep on top of so you dont touch their sheets, your own pillow, blanket, towel, ear plugs for sleeping, shower shoes so your feet dont touch the bathroom/bathtub floor, and a scented candle to combat the cigarette smell. The sheets are filthy and had lots of hair and debris in them, didnt appear to have been cleaned before and had lots of cigareete holes in them, the room was non smoking but smelled like someone had just put a cigarette out before we walked in, the towels are stained. The water pressure did vary a lot sometimes it was reasonable and sometimes it was very weak. We didnt use the A/C so cant comment on that. The phone does not work. Lots of sketchy people milling about playing loud music and agruing through the night. Room 132 was nice because it was very close to the exit and the shortest walk possible to and from the car. The car does not feel safe in the parking lot so be sure to remove all valuables. The room didnt feel very safe when leaving it and unable to use the deadbolt so we just took our couple of "valuable" items with us in our bags when we went left during the day. Basically the room gets the job done if you come prepared with the items I mentioned, its a cheap stay. Room was large and spacious! Nice wood floors.
