Room was not clean

The staff member was very friendly at check in. We got to our room and at a glance it was what I’d expect from a Motel 6. However, as we looked around, it clearly hadn’t been properly cleaned. There was a poop streak in the toilet and toothpaste on one of the towels hanging on the rack. Totally unacceptable, even from a cheaper motel.

Serviceable, but could be cleaner

It was inexpensive, but "smoke free" should mean smoke free. Room smelled like the ghost of smoker's past. There was also a lone hanging dirty towel left behind the bathroom door. Maid services would sure as heck inspire a lot more confidence in the overall cleanliness, if they did the due diligence to catch such things.
