I’ve stayed at this property several times and it’s been clean and comfortable, but not well maintained. This time I couldn’t say it was clean anymore. Sad. It was an inexpensive and comfortable place to sleep.

Outdated rooms in general

Rooms are outdated. For some reason they gave us a handicap room and it was really hard to take a shower. Noisy air conditionings, we didn't use ours but the other rooms had them. Noisy guests too in other rooms.

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.
