The hotel was marketed as” Hotel Blu” but it’s really motel 6!!! Also it is a 1/2 star place, uncomfortable bed, poor shower and some black mold in the ceiling of the bathroom.

Nice place for the price, staff was friendly, however this is not “hotel blu”, this is a Motel 6. Was confused when I pulled in. Room itself was clean, some things were broken like the security latch on the door, but overall good value.

The hotel was clean and well priced. It was quiet and comfortable. What I did not like at all was the bait and switch. I booked a hotel called "Blu" and stayed at a Motel 6. Not cool.

The lock and door frame on room 222 was busted. No security latch available and you could look right into the room along that frame. The signage still says Motel 6 on the outside which was a little confusing. Maybe, the Hotels.com site should say something about that to people reserving that place.

This property is a Motel 6. Apparently the brand is changing from Motel 6 to Hotel Blu. All the signage on the property says Motel 6. When I booked the room on Expedia, nowhere did it state that the property was a Motel 6. Had I known it was a Motel 6, I would never have booked the room. This is deceptive. The room is what you would expect from a Motel 6, spartan and unclean.

Negative from the get-go. This is a motel 6 not a hotel Blu. Loud music. Two floors up came into my room. It's all about the Bass. Chair was unusable. It's been worn out. Shabby and run down this place. Bait and switch again, not a Hotel Blu.

Hotel was advertised as Hotel Blu, but the sign says Motel 6, which was very confusing.When trying to find the hotel. When checking in, I stood at the counter for over 5 minutes before the clerk who was sitting right there acknowledged me. The room was very dirty and they didnt have a hair dryer. The only thing they offered in the morning was coffee. That was completely watered down. To about half the amount of a normal cup of coffee.

Lost our reservation number. Staff was untrained or not trained properly. Charged for two days when we only stayed one day There was a tornado which caused us a delay in getting there the first day yet we were charged for two days. We love Hotels.com, but this stay was a nightmare. Where can re clam the day that was not provided by Hotel Blu formerly Motel 6?

The location was good. The room was fairly quiet (I could hear a lot of walking above me at 2am...). It was clean and the staff was great. The TV wouldn't stay connected. I would watch about 30 seconds of the show and it would cut off...then power back on a few seconds later. I finally just turned it off and put a movie on my tablet. The door security latch was broken...like completely gone. So I wedged a chair under the door for extra piece of mind. There appeared to be a maxi pad paper stuck to the wall in the shower... 😂 Overall, good experience. Would stay here again.
