I had an easy stay here, the staff were lovely and helpful. My room was clean however there was no room service or turn down service. So same towels and bed for my entire stay. The thermostat in the room was functional but broken. Amenities were lacking, be aware that there is no iron, ironing board or hair dryer. There is also no safe for passport or valuables.

The room was fine. The hallway carpets are simply not acceptable. I’ve been coming to this property for about 13 years and the last 2 visits have been disappointing. They have no control of the homelessness in the area but they can clean and or replace that horribly stained carpet.

I knew it was a motel 6 and they already do not have a great reputation but still decided to book based off the photos provided but upon arriving I could already see the photos were not from this specific motel at all, the photos they provide show houses and a law school outside of the windows but that is far from the area you are in, they also show very clean and updated rooms which are also far from what you should expect. The parking lot is surrounded by people on drugs at night which kept having me wake up to check on our car as they just roam the lot and you do pay for parking but for what I don’t know because nobody is even watching the cars nor are they responsible if anything happens to your car. The carpet in the hallway is disgusting and stained and the rooms themselves look like they’re falling apart, all of the ceiling tiles were coming off or just not fully there which was concerning and the AC just made sounds but didn’t actually blow cool air. Our room was non smoking but still smelled like someone had smoked in there and the bedsheets themselves had stains. I didn’t even end up using the shower bc I had found a roach in the bathtub when I was going to attempt to shower. I will say the staff is extremely nice and it’s a shame they probably have to deal with a lot of complaints due to the conditions of this motel.

VERY DIRTY. Checked in, saw the room and checked out right away. There was mold in multiple locations. Bath tub and toilet leaking water. When flushing toilet it would shoot out water. There were flies coming out of the sink. Bed sheets were stained. Pillows were flat. Bed felt old and used up.Horrible limited parking situation.
