This was by far the worst room I had ever stayed in at a Motel 6. There was no light nor mirror above the sink. That corner of the room was totally dark - unless you turned on the light in the bathroom that was just to the left but doing to resulted in hearing the "jet engine" fan that was super loud. There was a wall light on each side of the bed; only one worked. There were plug-ins on each side of the bed just below the lights neither set of plug-ins worked. That left only one working plug in the room & there was no light above the desk area either. So,with all of that, the room was very poorly lit. The room & the hallways were dingy & in need of cleaning & repair. The bed itself was ok & the bedding was clean. I gave a list of needed repairs to the manager upon check out. It came as a total surprise to him. Do those who clean the rooms not report repairs that are needed? Apparently not OR most likely, they are reported & ignores.

When i checked in the person at the desk acted annoyed that i rang the bell. The room ended up being more than what it was said to be on the website. When i got in the room it was freezing, i had to have the heat cranked all the way to keep it warm in the room. The floor was dirty. No microwave or fridge. No remote for the tv, i had to go to the desk and ask for one and was looked at like i was annoying him again. There was a dog barking in the hall in the early morning.
