There is nothing to like about this place. Staff is lazy and rude, no remote for tv but they would rather sit on their lazy backside than help, rooms smell like pot and cigarettes. Do not recommend at all. 0 stars would be more appropriate.

Was not greeted at the door. The desk clerk was moving some large boxes that had been delivered to the lobby. After about five minutes he stopped to tell me, "I'll be with you, eventually." The hallways were dirty--there was even a large chunk of toilet paper in the hallway in front of my door. My room was clean enough, but no tissue paper. If I needed to blow my nose, I had to use toilet paper. Toilet was slow to flush and required multiple flushes to make solid waste go down. Noise on my floor included a baby with colic and a very yappy dachshund dog...all night long. No in-room fridge, microwave, or coffee maker. Not even a coffee pot in the lobby the following morning. I have stayed at this property before in years past; it's not the same.

Really isn’t the best

I only stayed here because it was the cheapest I was able to find for a week long stay during the 4th of July holiday. It really isn’t great . A lot of hotels have a mini fridge and microwave in the room the rooms here do not have that that. It also didn’t feel that safe they house addicts here so there is always people hanging outside at night or in the lobby.one night someone was trying to get into my room banging on the door at 3am after that I didn’t feel all that safe. They allow pets here as well so the hallways and elevator just smell bad. A flood also happened while I was here and the water was out for a day . I wouldn’t recommend at all if you have a better option available.The photos look way better advertised online. Everything just seemed to be broken and it didn’t allow for a comfortable stay.
The washers were not working

Old carpet that stinks

Absolute Dump!

Very dirty, damp, and rooms smell bad. Dog hair all over the sheets. Bed sheets were obviously not changed from last customers. Dog food pieces on the room floor. Partialy smoked cigarettes on the bedroom door frame. Bathroom faucet spraying water all over the place. Non functional elevator. Stairway feels like a dark alley. Questionable people hanging around the hotel. STAY AWAY from this motel!!!!

Avoid this place!

We are budget travelers who have stayed at many Motel 6's and this was a very negative experience for us. The main light would not turn off. We called and then stopped by the front desk and they gave us a towel to put over the light. They did offer a new room around midnight, but our kids had fallen asleep. We told the them the next day and they said that we just didn't turn it off - there was no switch. When we returned, our door was left open and the bulb was removed by them, so then we had no light and our door had been left open all day. The room was dirty - hair in the tub, sink, towels and beds, mold on the shower curtain. People walked around the parking lot all hours of the night, drinking next to our car and dog going to the bathroom behind it. I couldn't physically open or close our hotel door because of how jammed it was. The entire floor was slippery and sticky. We tried to cancel our second night and hotels.com was very helpful and responsive, but the property would not allow us to cancel. I understand companies have to have their policies but if they are not offering what they advertise such as cleanliness,basic accommodation and safety, that seems to be a breach of what we signed up for. There was no one at the front desk when we were checking out to speak to more about our concerns.

wouldn't stay here again

It needs some serious updating. The room smelled like mold, wet and old smoke smell. The bathroom toilet had hair on it and the floor how dirt along the bottom of the wall. I usually am not picky about places, but I ended up buying a plugin air freshener for the room I couldn't stand the smell.

There was ash from a cigarette in the bath tub when we walked into the room. It smelled like weed in the room. The window was open with no screen to prevent bugs from coming in. There was also a penny on the floor which tells me the cleaning was sub par. I wouldn't stay here again if it was free.
