Went to check in at 3pm for our two night stay only to be told that our room wouldn’t be ready for another 40 minutes. Was not thrilled about that as we had dinner reservations for 5pm and wanted to freshen up. The room was a handicapped room despite the fact that I specially requested a regular room. My only request was a room on the ground floor close handicapped parking. The room was inconvenient in that there was no place to put our stuff. Would have been fine for a person in a wheelchair but the bathroom had zero spaces to place our toiletries. And let me mention that the toilet irritatingly and loudly filled itself every few minutes. What a waste of water! The lighting was extremely dim and it was difficult to see what we were doing. The bed was lumpy and not comfort at all, however the bedding did smell fresh. The bathtub/shower was awful! Filled with other people’s hair and had obviously not been cleaned out! The towels might as well have been sandpaper…that’s how rough they were! My husband refused to take a shower and said I’ll shower when we get home! We left a day early! The room did have a small refrigerator but as usual for a Motel 6, bring your own amenities including Kleenex. The neighborhood was fine and the location was convenient to the places we wanted to go to but all in all, as I said, we left a day early and we’ll pass on Motel 6 in the future.

The room was better than I expected. I was quite pleased! The only issue, one of the towels had a dirty spot on a corner that was folded in- as if it had been rubbed on a dusty surface before being folded, or maybe the back of the shelf was dusty. Wasn’t a big problem.

The door would not fully close, the toilet did not flush, the TV has 30inputs but no way to switch to any of them and the bed was rock hard.

Room was acceptable. I always laugh at the use of plywood instead of box springs for the bed, which means the mattress slides around like crazy. Also wish they did 3 pillows per bed, rather than 2, and had an extra blanket in the room, but it was clean, and shower pressure was wonderful.
