Nasty

One word to describe this hotel, unclean. There was only one towel in the hotel room, asked for more, received a singular towel that had a suspicious red stain. We found a long hair found in the bathroom and the hallway smells like piss. I would rather sleep outside next time. If you hate someone, tell em to sleep here.

Zero stars

We arrived at 11:10 from NC. (Almost 13 hours driving) My nephew and I went in, checked in (second door was locked to get into lobby, just figured because it was late) the next day I realized we only had 1 towels, no washcloths. I asked for them and was only given a single towel. We ended up buying washcloths to bathe. Front desk gentleman refused to give more after housekeeping took out only 2 towels and didn't replace them. Shower looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. Ended up having to go to a friend's to shower. they wouldn't change my room. Desk attendant fussed at me for asking for more than a single towel for 2 people. Left a day early and came home. Unfortunately they took our money so I couldn't get another room.

Told the rooms on the second floor are cleaner and for the ‘good customers’. If this is cleaner I can’t imagine how horrible the first floor must be. The room smells. They handed me a spray air freshener which masks the stink for about 5 minutes. The positives: I think the sheets were clean and the air conditioner worked. The lower price was not worth it.

It’s a Motel 6 not the Ritz

Front desk was very helpful. Had an issue with my card and door. Not sure if the batter in the lock was dying but it had some issues turning the deadbolt. There were high amount of cigarette burns in my blankets and sheets. I even got poked by a broken piece of plastic that was in my bed. There were also no wash cloths. I did have to remind myself that it was a Motel 6 and not the Ritz. I didn’t expect too much coming in. It was a warm 4 walls once the heater kicked in and the bed itself was comfortable.
