The most disgusting hotel I have ever been in. This property and their management are stealing from anyone who rents rooms here. My room was filled with roaches and spiders. The sheets were filled with semen and blood stains. The comforter had hair on it. I had checked in earlier in the day to ensure I had not lost the room due to high occupancy in the area. Unfortunately I had not actually gone into the room till much later. When I entered the roaches scattered across the room. Upon further inspection of the bed, I found it to be a hazmat situation. I was not in the room for more than 10 minutes before I went to the front desk to check out. The front desk clerk asked for photos. She then for some reason went to the room to, I guess verify my claim. She came back with a guy would said they would not refund me. Claiming I had used the room and I was responsible for it's condition. This was absolutely absurd and was flat out wrong. Not only are these room unsanitary, they don't even have fire alarms which should immediately be cause for this hotel to close. It's a shame that Motel 6 would allow for this operator to operate on their behalf. Travelocity should kick this hotel off their list of hotels they sell on behalf.

Worst stay of my life. See the pictures. I ended up not staying when I found the hair in the bed. No apology no offer to give me another room… So I left.

One bad bed and a nasty roach!

Check-in was great, the employee was very nice and we had a few good laughs. When I went to lay down and go to sleep the springs in the mattress were coming through so to speak. It was midnight and the area was sold out. Fortunately, we had two queen beds and my daughter and I now had to share. Really defeated the point about two separate beds. But for the best part, in the morning I was getting ready and I opened the shower door and there was a roach! We had to go through all of our stuff dump it out and make sure we weren’t bringing any of them home with us. Not very happy overall with the stay.

Where to begin. First it definitely did not seem anyone working there knew what was going on. Our room the air conditioning did not work, the window did not have a screen on it so when we openned it to try and cool down the room bugs would obviously come in so couldnt do that. The bathroom shower was peeling the moment we turned the water on. The floor had weird patch marks on it. I definetly would not book here again

Saw a baby Cockraoch, but atleast it was dead I guess.. Shower and bathroom were very wore and dirty.. Sign says recently renovated, so hopefully my room just hadn't been renovated yet? lol.. Beds were pretty hard. Ceiling panels missing in the halls, no elevator so handicap be aware. Stairwell smelt heavily of weed.. There was a plastic cup in the floor of the corner of the room, so makes me wonder how well it was cleaned 😬 lol but it was cheap!!
