Floors were not clean or swept. Extremely dirty under the beds. Strong odor in the hallway and in the room. Blankets and pillows were stained and dirty. Poor water pressure in the shower. Asked for wash towels and toilet paper.
The dog smell was awful and I had to clean my bathroom myself with random cleaners they gave me at the front desk

Rough stay
No smoke detector was off wall door was coming off hinges u can see n the hallway comforter was dirty blanket was smelly on other bed. Put request in twice or maybe 3
X and maintenance man had an emergency and I never seen a maintenance man was there for over a week. Hallway smelly from ppls dogs and how some ppl live. Most staff was decent. When washer or dryer was running I can feel in my room like what’s going on! Whew! They tried to make it smell n look good I can give them that! Bathroom mirror dirty with kids handprints. No back to remote!!!
Fantastic Staff and a Surprise View, Steps from Fun!
The team here are friendly and hardworking people. Incredibly smart, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive!
I was pleasantly surprised by a lovely view from my room. Plus, you can't beat the location – the famous Mucky Duck Bar, a great spot for sports and a lively atmosphere, is just a 2-minute walk away. A great stay with excellent service and convenient perks! Great Value
I'm a repeat guest, having stayed here twice because I genuinely enjoy it. The staff are great – friendly and diligent. The location offers both safety and convenience. And for those interested, Mucky Duck bar is literally just a two-minute walk down the street. 😉
I've stayed here twice now and love this place. The staff are wonderful – always friendly and hardworking. The location feels very safe and is incredibly convenient. Plus, the famous Mucky Duck bar is just a short two-minute walk away.
When we checked in we were told that the elevator was broken and our rooms were on the third floor. There were people hanging out in the parking lot doing god knows what. There was an old broken down house trailer in the parking lots that someone was living in. When I went to the room the toilet seat was loose and almost falling off. The heater/ AC made a humming noise all night even after I turned it off. You could hear the kids in the next room jumping on the beds. The bath towel were yellowish looking like they had not been laundered properly. And on and on. I almost ask for a refund but it was late and I was very tired so I just went to sleep and got out of there as soon as I woke. Needless to say who ever owns this property has totally neglected it.
Elevator broke, no hot water ( only warm) , sheets stained, no shampoo, soap or conditioner in room, missing remote.. Bed was completely uncomfortable. Terrible experience.
A little hope that customer service is still alive
You know stay that a lot of Motel 6s and this one is a little different than the others and I'll tell you what makes it different is the staff. The staff there is amazing. Every time I go there they remember who I am remember my service animal they just make me have a little hope that customer service isn't totally dead. A lot of Motel 6s just because they're a little on the inexpensive side a lot of the people running the front desk treat everybody that walks through the door like some transient. You'll never feel like that here you walk through that door and they make you feel like you just walked into the Hilton. Thanks so much you guys it's a pleasure seeing you every time hope to see you soon! Xoxo the Rands & Blue
The strong smell of smoke and dog poop was off putting as soon as you walked into the building. Our room was a non-smoking room and we woke up smelling heavily of smoke.
Needed an economical bare-bones room for the weekend. This met that criteria. Room was clean and staff was great when we saw them. Two problems though. The first, it was very noisy with loud guests up and down all night, slamming doors and talking loudly. Thin walls and lots of outside noise from parking lot. Secondly and the biggest problem in my opinion, the overpowering smell of weed through the floor and elevator. You get a contact high just walking down the hall and riding the elevator. It was bad, no clue how staff didnt notice it. As long as you stayed in your room it wasnt too bad but everything reeked a little more each time you opened the door to come and go.
