Arrived to Motel 6, and the lobby was closed for over 30 min. There was one person standing in line. Once the solo staff member returned to the lobby, he proceeding to help the gentlemen standing in line. Staff handing this gentlemen some forms and the gentlemen left the window to return to his car. I was next in line and proceeded to the window. The Staff member said, I can’t help you until the gentlemen comes back so if you don’t mind waiting. I said sure. The gentlemen returned and was assisted and he left to his assigned room. I then went back up to the window and began my check-in process. I too was handed forms to fill out which included my vehicle information. I left the window to retrieve the info and then returned back to the window. The same Solo Staff told me, I had to wait in line and the he was helping another person and because I left, it was no longer my turn to be served. I was PERPLEXED !!! I said to this Staff member, I said wait a minute, you allowed the guy standing in front of me, the opportunity to return to the window, after leaving, without losing his place in line so, what’s the deal. This Staff member huffed and puffed and damn near blew my house down! I have NEVER received such piss poor hospitality that was exceedingly unprofessional and down right RUDE. A person standing behind me was watching all this unfold and said “ I never leave reviews but I’m definitely leaving one after seeing how you were treated”!

Only 1 person staffs the office, and he was constantly going on break and making people wait. This is ridiculous for a hotel of this size when people are checking in constantly. When I arrived the sign said Back in 15 minutes.There were 3 parties that needed to check in, so I waited an unacceptably long time which made me late for my event nearby. The room I was assigned hadn't been cleaned, so I immediately went back to the office only to find a new sign up saying Back in 30 minutes! I banged on the window and the guy finally came to help me, but he complained that he wasn't getting paid to help me because it was his lunch break. That's not my problem. While waiting I saw a young lady in a very short skirt, thong underwear, and high heels saunter across the parking lot heading for one of the rooms. It's that kind of neighborhood. Most of the other guests I saw there looked very sad and beaten down by life, as though this was their last stop before homelessness. The new room I was given had a broken AC unit; all the buttons were busted out so I couldn't turn it on. The location is excellent and the view on the water is magnificent, but the hotel itself is a disaster.
