Lets see, well there was a car on fire in the parking lot when I arrived which i assisted in putting out with pool water, the check-in clerk was literally coughing up a lung the entire time, the room was decent for the price but the in the wall AC unit sounded like a plane taking off all night and there were 4 very large roaches - dead - on the floor in the morning that were not there when I went to bed. Other than that it was a lovely stay.

Room was not that clean. They seem to have used some furniture polish on the floor, which made it damn hard to walk on. This will be my last stay at any Motel 6 anywhere. Service has gone way down.

They advertised breakfast, but if there was, it was cleaned up before the 9:00 ending time. We saw a waffle maker, but no signs of waffles or any other food. The curtains in our room needed to be fixed to hang correctly. The bathrooms are always in need of some repair. This one had a few rust spots I. The shower/tub area. The shower curtain was torn at the top. I’m not saying it was bad, just not 5*

Not good. Cons: The room smelled of smoke and the bedspread had a cigarette burn in it. The bathroom was actually the worst. The toilet seat looked awful and the plastic was all stained and bubbling and cracking.. we didn't even want to sit on the toilet. The bed was hard and pillow flat, we didn't sleep great at all. The ice machine was not working and there was nowhere to fill up water bottles, which is important to us since we were staying here for a baseball tournament. The breakfast was just ok since there was cereal and a waffle maker, but the bagels were hard and stale. The pros: check in was smooth, and the front desk staff was friendly. Coffee was actually pretty good. TV selection was good, AC and hot water worked great. I guess you get what you pay for, but honesly it wouldn't be that hard for them to replace the disgusting toilet seat.
