Could not get any rest as the upstairs guests were yelling and fighting all night. Then at 9 am construction right outside the room. My expectations for this location are already low and this was absolutely the worst. No a/c no heat, domestic disturbance, really bad roooms experience. Its sad when the smoking rooms are actually better than the no . From the lack of sleep alone I want a refund or a comp night for the worst stay I have ever had at one of these motel6 locations.
