I chose this hotel because it was the best price and deal for a short stay to checkout the Scottsboro Boys Museum and the Unclaimed Baggage Store. It’s centrally located and what it lacks in luster is made up comfort. The room was clean, I love that there was no carpet, the microwave and mini fridge were immaculately cleaned. I felt a bit sketchy when I pulled up but Rob at the front desk was easy to check in with and all in all the location was safer than I anticipated as a solo traveler.
Filthy, noisy, and temperature control did not work. Clean and comfortable is a minimum requirement. Never again would I book a Motel 6. Apparently they do not have any quality control.

Parking for boats was good, room was pretty clean, however the room has seen its better days. Doors were rough, trim was broken, and walls were all scuffed, Just cosmetic but it slept good.

Property is very dated but clean. Everything worked. Only repairs I saw that were needed were cosmetic. Staff was helpful and willing to answer questions. There was no breakfast or coffee in the lobby even though Horel.com advertised that it was offerer. No shampoo or bady wash in the shower. All we were given was a tiny bar of soap and tiny bottle of shampoo.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
AC was good. Beds comfortable. Decent for the price.
The room was a bit run down with cracks in the ceiling. The microwave smelled bad and the ac seemed to have no filter, so you could smell everything outside.
I checked in my room and there was 2 roaches belly up and a dead fly on the bathroom floor. I went to the front and requested a refund immediately and went to a different hotel up the street.
We were just passing through but this was perfect for a quick stay. Felt safe, good parking, lighting. Check-in was quick and easy. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Would stay here again.
The staff was friendly and accommodating. However it looks like they might be living there along with others which is fine except when I’m on vacation I don’t want to walk around someone’s house plants/trash on the balcony nor do I want to come in to people grilling in the parking lot. My dog who is terrified of fireworks had to endure 3 hours of fireworks being shot from the balcony and parking lot. It’s a motel 6 so we didn’t expect much but it was all that was left on 4th of July weekend. If people are going to live there they should put traveling guests on one side and let the people who live there stay on the other side. The pillows are very uncomfortable and the bed had a sheet and very paper thin blanket. You could see through it. The people who work there were nice and we didn’t have any issues with check in our out. The room was clean enough but it’s kinda of run down so I’m sure the staff does the best they can. Parking is good if you have a boat which is why we came to the area so we could fish. AC was cold and everything worked. Looks like the staff does a good job but I’d rather not book a hotel where people are living full time.
