You get what you pay for. Cheap room in a cheap motel. Cigarette burn holes in the curtains. Lots of homeless hanging around and the nightly trains going by made it a bit noisy. However, I will say that housekeeping was very accommodating to my schedule It is also the only Motel 6 I have ever been at that has restrictions on cats. They did honor my initial reservation as it was already paid for, but I couldn't extend my stay. I found this weird as the National Motel 6 has advertised for years that all pets stay free.

Worst aspect was bugs, appeared to be young cockroaches that didn't like the light but we had pictures of them from both bathroom and bedroom areas that we showed when we checked out but little concern was given, led us to sleep with lights on which was not as restful. Loved design of the room including bathroom. Reservation was for 4 people but only 3 towels even after it was cleaned during second day (took away extra towels we got by request). Also wish i knew pool was going to be closed the whole time as we looked forward to it. Did appreciate it was close to expo center.

I was given a ground level room at the end of the facility. A large paper clip turned the deadbolt, and the bathroom window wouldn’t close or lock - bad part of town. They refused to give me another room so I left.

My stay at Motel 6 was great overall. The room was clean, the bed was comfy, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I also loved that it’s pet-friendly. The only downside was that the pool was closed, even though the website said it was open. If something is advertised as part of the stay, it should be available. Still, it was a good experience and I’d stay here again.
