Bad and scary location

The staff was very helpful and pleasant. The location was terrible. Took a walk and there were crack pipes on the sidewalk. The heater/air conditioner cover was broken. The outside of the door looked like someone tried to break on. The floor was dirty and couldn’t walk around without socks or shoes. No in room coffee. Bed was comfortable.

I liked the evening girls and morning girl in the office. The only good manager is the one that does real work . You would be better off renting a room at any other hotel. They allow fentanyl users to use drugs all over the property and allow a lot of illegal activity to go on. They steal your money after they say they refunded your money when they didn't. AND THEY FORGE RECORDS AND LIE. THEY HIRE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO DONT DO THEYRE JOBS. THE ROOMS ARE DISGUSTING

Oh boy-oh!! Since you asked my experience...

This is one man's views/perspective/experience/opinion/observation/commentary Watch out for the angry little Oompa Loompa munchkin troll at front desk on weekend day shift with miserable attitude! (Just my opinion) After showing her email confirmations, pdf files, & app confirms, she tried to double charge me for room I already paid for, all because she couldnt operate the updated system. After I was reimbursed by Motel6 AND hotels.com (thanks), she had it out for me from then on! IMO, she sounded like one ANGRY little piggy & looked like one HUNGRY hungry hippo! But don't take my word for it! See what happens when a Middle Earth dwarf-ette & the purple Grimace character from McD's (ba da ba ba da) swipe right on Tinder, & tell me Im wrong! So my rating is only a reflection of the short-bus short-fuse short-round hobbit (the sad breaker of mirrors). Everyone else during the week: at the front desk & even on the weekend's other shifts were the BEST! It was jusr the lone remaining member of the Lollipop Guild. And the owner? Nah, good luck there! One opinion is that maybe the owner is the mini-Grimace's dad's sister daughter grandpa uncle & he can't fire his Kin, but who knows? Just speculation, of course😉 But the staff, housecleaning, & maintenance were all awesome! No complaints from me! Just watch out for angry angry oompa loompa!

Uh oh

Watch out for the angry little Oompa Loompa munchkin troll at front desk on weekend day shift with miserable attitude & Napolean complex! After showing her email confirmations, pdf files, & app confirms, she tried to illegally double charge me for a room i already paid for because she couldnt operate the new updated system, then after getting reimbursed by Motel6 AND hotels.com, she had it out for me from then on! I hope Motel6 helps her to cope with life & not blame everyone else & guests for her own choices! But don't take my word for it! Come see what happens when a fugly dwarf-ette from Middle Earth hooks up with the purple Grimace character from McD's (ba da ba ba da) and tell me Im wrong! Or maybe two Ewok siblings hooked up, but youd think her attitude would be better since she's on the spectrum? So my rating is a reflection of only her (the sad breaker of mirrors). Everyone else during the week at the front desk & even on the weekend's other shifts were the BEST (EXCEPT the one who's mother drank antifreeze while pregnant because it looked like Mt Dew). And the owner? Well, she obviously has incriminating evidence or something going on with this location's owner, or maybe the owner is her dad's sister daughter grandpa uncle & he cant fire his Kin, who knows? But the staff, housecleaning, & maintenance were all awesome! No conplaints from me! Well, exceot for the hairy, smelly, miserable gremlin with dragon breath who let her authority go to her lumpy head!
