Several transient people hanging around the area. Our room was supposed to have a fridge and microwave. It had neither, although there was a place for them. A lamp with outlet didn’t work. Needs some work, to have the ratings it shows. Disappointed.

Police Worthy with desk clerk incident. Booked and prepaid. Got the room key from the front desk clerk. Dragged all my stuff up only to see there was no bedframe, the mattress leaned up against the wall and, what looked like used bedding thrown somewhere nearby. Dragged my stuff back down to the front desk. The clerk was outside and came back in when he saw me. While I was waiting I took a photo of something in the lobby. I told him about the room and that I obviously needed to get a different room. He demanded that i delete the photo that he had seen me take.. Told me I had no permission to take the photo. I told him I need another room. He absolutely refused until Idelete the photo and demaned I show him that I had. I will be contacting Motel 6 regarding this incident so opting to not go into further detail.

The room itself was better than I expected honestly. It really wasn’t bad, especially for the price that I booked. However, the floor on one side of the bed was sticky. Early in the morning, I hear a woman making loud noises which sounded to me like a person strung out on drugs right outside of my window… Again, for the price the rooms are very decent and the staff was as normal.

Do not expect personal friendly service. Do not expect a warm inviting decor. Do not expect library level peace when you’re trying to sleep.

This was my third time staying here. Its not the best kept place, but the rooms seem clean. Usually quiet. Plenty of gas stations and fast food restaurants around. Like a mile west is a walmart and more food options. Theirs plenty of options, even within walking distance. Its 3 floors high, but they do have an elevator. Last time i was there, i tried a vending machine, but it didnt work. The heaters in the room work good in the the winter time. Dont really remember, but i believe the showers have been decent. Only once did i have an issue with someone being loud in the halls. I do use this place for solo business trips. For a family traveling, i dont know if id stay here. Would i honestly stay with my kids, probably not. Their has to be a better place nearby more family oriented/friendly. They do not include anything for breakfast, but most of these cheaper places are skimping on that anymore. If youre lucky to find cereal and toast, youre lucky anymore.

Keep the light on for me

This is the motel everyone goes to party. Even young kids and older adults. It could be cleaner, it wouldnt hurt if they up dated there room, and put some fresh paint on the walls, the beds were descent, the pillows were to thin. The bathroom was to small.
