Wouldn't be back

This motel leaves a lot to be desired. Smelled like weed and there was a dog barking all night. The tv screen had broken pixels all down the middle. Fire alarm battery was low and beeped all night in the hallway. The stairwell smelled rancid. The first floor was flooding between 4 rooms and no hazard signs. Elevator didn’t work & pool was closed in July.

The first room on the first floor TV and phone did not work so they transferred us to another room on the second floor. When they changed our room to the second floor the elevator did not work, it was not clean, had roaches and spiders. It does not have a refrigerator or microwave in the room.

Stopped for overnight stay on way home from vacation and was unsure of the property before I got to reservation desk. Booked online and pictures representing the hotel was not what was received. Didn't get the room I reserved. Room looked like it had started renovations and stopped 1/4 way through. Beds were the absolute worst - camp cot would have been better. Walls were patched and unpainted. Noise at all hours of the night. Did not even spend the whole evening. Would not recommend this establishment and we would not stay there again. Very disappointed in motel 6 to say the least

The property is attempting to upgrade, renovate and rebrand themselves. On the second floor, had to use stairs as the elevator was out of order. A $20 cash deposit at check-in (could not use credit card). Required to use an ATM. There was unpleasant odor with the lobby and hallways. I was just disappointed with this property.

I'll be generous and give 4 stars

Mattress was terrible, I think it may have previously belonged to a sumo wrestler who used it for 10 years straight, sleeping in the same spot every night. A cash-only deposit policy is straight-up silly in 2025. Everything else was fine.

I didn’t like anything. There wasn’t anyone at the front desk when I tried to check in for over 20 minutes. Then when I did try to check in I was told there are no rooms available because they’re under construction. Totally unacceptable and the front desk employee refused to let my 12 year old son use the bathroom while I was trying to find other accommodations.

Dirty, smells bad, they took all our stuff out of our room a day before we were to leave. No one at desk for over 30 minutes but I found all our stuff in the employee break room and left to stay at a different hotel. So I'm out money for 1 night. You could smell poop, drugs, and cigarettes. Had employees knocking at door 2 in the morning.
