Worst motel/hotel stay ever..

We waited at the check-in counter under crumbling and peeling ceiling, in a filthy lobby that reeked of cigarettes and weed while the one attendant was taking the longest bowel movement in a “out of order” lobby bathroom…the fact that there is a $75 damage deposit is a joke) We got our key, went up to the no smoking room, after walking through the hallway that smelled like a dispensary, only to find flickering lights, ripped sheets, one bed kind of made the other definitely not. Blood spots on the sheets, toilet used and not clean, used cup on the bathtub, and expired curdled milk in the dirty refrigerator. The remote didn’t work for the tv, no wifi, and to top it off, the barking dog and loud talking and door slamming in the next room made it next to impossible to sleep.. had we not had a 8 hour drive home there’s is no way I would have sucked it up and stayed.. slept fully clothed and used extra t shirts for pillow cases. This place needs to just be bulldozed and turned into a parking lot.

Awful, unless you need a room for meth making.

Everything had a serious smell of smoke. The sheets were stained. The knob on the tub faucet was just a metal bar because it was broken off. Also, dried poop stains on the toilet seat. Absolutely disgusting. App won't let me add photos or I would

I have stayed at this Motel 6 on numerous visits to Lawrence, and if you are looking for an affordable place to stay, this is a solid choice. It's right off of I-70 and only a few minute drive from Mass St. (downtown Lawrence). There is always enough parking, and the motel is almost always peaceful and quiet.

There were bottles of various drinks still in the fridge as well as a partial jug of milk. There were sticky spots on the floor and could have used air freshener.
