Detailed Reviews
We booked late for memorial day weekend so we didn't have many choices. Got in late, 2am, and check-in was out doors and mosquitos were feasting. The room smelled of something like cigarette smoke , we weren't sure, not good. One queen bed though we had reserved 2 beds.
The bathroom had 1 towel for 2 people, the rug was a living organism, and the bathroom tile was ripped up on the edges. The air conditioner sounded like a 75 corvair engine. The upside is that we got our money back.
Maybe, you get what you pay for, but hotels shouldn't be an afront to the senses.

Bottom of the barrel even for Motel 6. Non-smoking room stank of smoke. Cigarette burns in bed covers. Toilet ran all night. Call to desk made no difference as there was one person supervising a staff of none. A forceful complaint the next morning resulted in a promise for a $20 rebate on my $52 bill which I am still waiting to see reflected in my account. The neighborhood is beat up. Homeless people pushing shopping carts. Lots of pawn shops and beverage stores.

This hotel is really gross, and I am not exaggerating. I can`t even believe I am actually staying here....I am worried I might get bedbugs! I can`t even begin to describe how beat up the bed are, the pillows are flat, the blankets are dirty, the carpet disgusting, the base moulding peeling away from the wall, I don`t think the shower has ever been cleaned!
There are people renting by the week hanging out in the parking lot....

Had to transfer to three room. Door handle feel out in my hand, TV did not wook. These room are really down to the bare. They smell, beds are lumpy and above all a HOOKER approched my husband.
Luckly he said I had all the money and guess what?
She came knocking on my door
Do not go here
No coffee even, nothing but Hookers and bad room that need to be redone.
Hey, I am a painter, they could really ruse my touch

Motel 6 is a motel 6 , always without charm , expensive for the quality and comfort but always the best price in town ( we've tried 4 around and prices were worse...).
Non smoking bedroom but with cold tabacco odor persistant ( I think in the cooler ), simplest deco, and really noisy road in front of. No wifi because it was out of order, no breakfast and usual coffe with vending; BUT this time, an homeless indoor the office, near the coffee machine and not really courtesey... TOO MUCH !!!!!

This review isn't going to be any better than the rest of the reviews. This place is a disgusting hole that should be closed down.
The first hint is the lobby, which is dirty and disgusting with a foul odour. We were given an upstairs room. The second floor walkway/balconies are actually coming apart from the building. One of these days it's all going to give way, collapse and crash to the ground. This is a huge safety issue.
Our room looked like someone had tried to break in at one point, because the metal casing on the outside was all bent and tattered. We were afraid that our door wouldn't even lock (it did), but how safe were we really!
The clientele are pretty scary looking hombres, looks like work crews stay there for weeks at a time. The next morning when we were leaving, one guy kept knocking on his door to get back in. He looked like he was on some kind of drugs, because he was twitching and acting strangely.
The room was dingy and in bad need of upgrading. And....this is a first ever......no toilet paper! We had to go to the front desk and ask for a roll of toilet paper. No apology from the staff/owner. No saying he would make a note of it and remind the housekeeping staff.
Granted, it was our fault for staying in the filthy, scary, disgusting place. We've learned our lesson. If you walk into a hotel lobby and the lobby is disgusting, turn around and leave, because it isn't going to get any better than that!

The only positive is that the staff was nice and social. There was a cop in the parking lot so we felt a little safe. But now we know he is probably staking out the place. The walk to the room smelled like pot heads smokin up a room. The room is very outdated but that's not a problem. It smelled of a old ladies bathroom, the bathroom floor is soft probably ready to cave in at any time, and my bed comforter had some sort of stain that looked like blood. Unfortunately on a budget and 14 hours in a car we stayed against our better judgement. Just praying I don't get the herpagonasphylaids.

This is a drug infested crap hole hotel. There are pimps, dealers and hookers all over this place. Illegal aliens playing loud music, drinking and partying all night, cooking and doing laundry out doors. Rooms are filthy and nothing works. Caught an Illegal alien stealing out of my truck at 0230, held him there at gunpoint until police arrived and took him into custody. Someone knocked on my door all night long. There were chicken bones all over the parking lot where someone had eaten wings and just threw the bones out. The rooms stunk so bad it made me sick. One of my work partners developed a rash on his backside from sleeping in a filthy bed. We stayed one night and got a room at no-name hotel that appeard to be a dump but turned out to be a jewel in the rough. None of these problems there.

When we arrived we asked for a room with double beds. We received a room with one bed. Before we entered the room we saw what looked like blood stains on the walk in front of the door. The room smelled very bad for being a non smoking room. The room had a hole in the wall the size of a quarter. The garbage can had not been cleaned and a smelly liquid was in the bottom of it. The bathroom had mold growing on the walls. Gum was stuck on the carpeting in plain sight. The television had a sticky substance on top of it. If it had not been so late we would of drove on. We took pictures of the problems we have mentioned. This location is the worst Motel 6 that we have ever stayed and have used Motel 6 well over a hundred times in the last 18 years.
