Do not stay here

First I would like to state up front that the 2 front desk ladies were amazing and they did what they could despite what I am about to say because they did not have any control over this. This motel was terrible. The room was damaged, the outside security locks smashed so anyone could come in and out, no fridge or microwave in my room despite paying extra for one. One of the front desk ladies did eventually deliver one to my room. Other people staying on the 3rd floor where I was, let their pets roam in the hallway. One side of the building's stairs were ripped out and it smelled like dog/cat urine. I was told the motel was full that night so I couldn't be moved to a different room. But the final straw was when a guy pounded on my door asking for a lighter and held up his meth pipe in my peephole. The front desk gal did book a stay for me at one of their sister hotels nearby but this whole ordeal was unacceptable. The GM/owner of this building should shut down the motel until they have repaired all things that need to be repaired/replaced, Starting with the outside security locks first. As a solo female traveler, I did not feel safe here and would recommend anyone who's looking to stay here to spend a few extra dollars and book somewhere else. As a GM/owner, you should be ashamed of yourselves for allowing people to stay here despite knowing the condition your motel is in.

What i liked, it was a few doors down from Perkins Family Restaurant. What we didn't like. I would not recommend this motel to anyone. The lobby & the room, was not at all like the pictures online. Everything in the room needed to be replaced or updated. It was tired.Especially the toilet seat, which had gouges in it. We had to put a towel to stand on in the tub, due to the stains, etc.#204. The bed skirt was oversized & a trip hazard. The people above us were noisy. We left at 6am, we had a poor night's sleep. We didn't feel comfortable staying any longer, than we had to.

This property is no longer even a real motel. There is no one at the front desk and they don't answer the phone they say to pick up & call. When I finally got help, the room had flies all over it. The building is mostly occupied by people who do not appear to be hotel guests - it is housing locals from the community. When I returned to my room, my key card would no longer open the door and I could not access my room or belongings. Nobody was at the desk and no one answered the phone to help. Constant noise above my room throughout the night made it almost impossible to sleep. Although I could not get a refund, I did not stay at the property the second night because the experience did not feel entirely safe. This was the worst motel experience of my life. Expedia should remove this property from their website immediately.

We needed a night’s sleep and nothing more so stayed here based on recent positive experiences at other Motel 6 locations. There were several people loitering in the parking lot and the lock on the side door wasn’t working so I’m glad my husband was with me. The room was fine and to be expected for the price but the curtains were completely sheer. Finally the AC was insanely loud and the mattress was older so sleep was hard to come by. Spend a few more dollars elsewhere.

We get what we pay for

We needed an inexpensive place to stay and we got what we paid for. Room was very clean. Staff was friendly. Bed was fine. Computer issues delayed our check-in and our keys. We could have used a small bar of soap with our sink. Fan in bathroom was noisy, toilet seat had gouges and water pressure was a bit much. But again, we get what we pay for. We can't remember whether or not there was morning coffee but we didn't see any.

Staff couldn’t (or wouldn’t) accommodate my needs and/ or concerns. I was certain I booked a room with microwave and refrigerator. When I checked in, there were not any rooms available with those items. Heater didn't work in room. There was not s great effort to provide additional blankets when requested. Ice machine did not work. Microwave oven in lobby did not work it would spark and smoke a few seconds after I attempted to pop popcorn. Staff was agitated when I expressed my concerns and inconvenience—- on the evening of my 2nd nights stay I was basically told they could refund my money and I could find another place to stay—- this was like about 5:30-6pm or so. I already had a long day, was tired additionally didn’t know if or where I’d find another hotel available let alone the costs… so I just stayed the second night…
