They only have staff for some hours. It felt dirty and trash was not picked from the room. Talked into the cleaning lady, I took the trash to her and told me to put it in the trash can outside. I was a client not a housekeeper

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was in poor condition, very outdated. Didn't seem very clean. My door had to be forced to shut all the way. When I came back from my show in the middle of the night the clerk was nowhere to be found and I had had my wallet stolen, which had my room key, so I was stranded in the lobby for a good hour. Every Motel 6 I've been to in the last year has been deplorable. Don't come here unless you have to.

Book your stay elsewhere! When we checked in the ceiling in the lobby was falling down, there was nothing welcoming at all about this lobby. I was weary about staying at this point, we went ahead and got checked in. When we opened the door to the room my heart dropped, this trip was to see my son graduate from boot camp and have his overnight liberty, the thought of having my family stay here brought me to tears. We ended up getting a refund and staying at another hotel.

Room was ok. No iron, no coffee pot. Had to ask for towels. Ice machine was not working. No snack bar, snack machine was not working. Room was never checked to be cleaned. Suspicious activities going on with people exchanging money in the hallway. One woman looked like she was on drugs with scabs all over her body. Drinking in the back of the premises.walked outside the second night and a man was bringing a woman inside who looked like she was under the influence. Room next door was blasting tv and constantly arguing and talking very loud. Great Lakes should really look into recommendations for stays.
