The room smelled like it's been a long time since it was used and cleaned. The bed was way too soft and the comforter had cigarette burns on it. The hand towel fixture was coming out the wall, fan in bathroom didn't work and the floor was dusty and not as per a usual Motel 6 I've used in the past. Parking was good, staff was polite but seemed in a hurry to do other things.
