It was just a little more rundown and shabby than what I usually get with motel six with very few exceptions. Ironically, when we moved to Portland in 1964 it was actually six dollars! Lol and the same McDonald’s hamburgers was across the street where it still is and the burgers were $.19

Decent overall.
Negatives:
Upon check-in I asked for an upper stairs corner room, if available. She said rooms are pre-assigned & fully booked. This was sun-thurs in the middle of winter, the dead season. The room was out front, ground level, right next to the ADA rooms which meant parking was a bit away. The room had a strong Smoky smell even though I requested a non-smoking room. Basic room - no fridge or microwave. The card key kept losing memory, so I had go to the office daily to reset it.
Positives:
Hot water was instant at both sink & shower. Heat worked good. Bed was comfortable. Sheets & towels were clean. No noise issues. All communication with the staff after the check-in was positive.
I did a lot of calling around and this seems to be the only place in town that is inexpensive but nice enough. There are cheaper options in town, but those are all grimey and buggy. Motel 6-central is cheaper than the other 6's in town. If yr also trying to find a deal, this was the best I could find, so I'd recommended them. Very cozy and clean.
The lobby door was missing all of its glass. They had anoyher patron who ser their car alarm off all through the night. It went off more than 20 times. Last was around 1AM. We asked the office to do something, didnt help. The shower floods onto the bathroom floor. The bathroom sink took 45 minutes to drain and then the sink was fullbof nasty stuff afterwards. Garbage spilling out of trash cans everywhere.

Perfectly adequate
We reserved for a week stay. Our given room was not usable, the bed was broken and bowed badly in the middle. The front desk moved us to a different room immediately without issue. The staff were very kind and helpful the entire stay, and checked on us periodically to make sure we were comfortable. The replacement room was okay, the bed was comfortable, the TV was large and the room was overall clean. Some of the furniture was quite worn, but most everything in the room functioned just fine.
We had some issues with the wall light switches not wanting to work and the bathroom door splitting in half, also the shower seemingly had paint all over the floor but drained fine and had good water pressure.
The only concern: At one point the front desk called me and let me know someone who was not a guest was attempting to break into my vehicle, but the on-site security removed them from the property and the police were called. Thankfully my vehicle was not damaged. I would not leave any valuables in a vehicle during a stay here but the staff keep an eye out and there are security cameras all over the property, and the parking lot is well lit. I’m very thankful this was the only incident worth mentioning.
A perfectly okay if a little worn out choice. You could do a lot worse.
Found a lot of hair at the bottom of shower stall before i took a shower. Shower curtain to short making the floor wet and slippy even with towel on the floor to absorb the water.
