Not a bad experience but pool was closed Saturday and umm hello, it’s summer time. So that’s a thumbs down specially when you have kids! Our room was cleaned but towels were the same ones we used they were just folded to look pretty/clean. Price was ok, I paid $134 because I had $7 in rewards and used them towards it. You get what you pay for so I guess. Not too bad just disappointed that the pool was closed.

The staff was very friendly. The room had a weird smell that didn't go away. It looks like they don't sweep or mop the floors. We don't expect nothing with luxury of course but at least clean and confortable.

I understand it is a 2-star hotel. But the rooms need maintenance. We found more than 2 cockroaches in the room, there were walls in the room that were cracked and with humidity, the AC looked like it never had maintenance and smelled terribly, the bed had hairs on it, and stains in the sheets. And worst, I don't know if it was the hard chemicals used in sheets, or bugs, but it was itchy. I cannot say anything good, maybe that it has a pool, but that's it. I don't expect a 4-5 star hotel, but I expect cleanliness in the room and not feel that if I touch anything I'll be getting a disease.

It was a good experience, clean beds, bathroom and the room itself. The staff was kind, and helped providing the room requested. It’s also well located if you’re in town for shopping. The only complaint was about the air conditioner, which was super loud. For white noise it’s excellent, but unfortunately it was too much for me, so I woke up a couple of times. Other than that a good and economic option for a night.

Rooms

Rooms are basic with few in-room amenities; several reviews note no fridge, microwave, or coffee maker. Noise from highways, slamming doors, and neighbors plus loud AC and spotty Wi‑Fi affect comfort for some.

I was disappointed with the loud thumping and scraping noises coming from the room above mine. No earthly idea what they were doing - until 2:30 AM. At 4 AM crying baby next door started up and didn’t stop. I left at 5 AM. I was very tired and I forgot to ask for my ice packs at the desk. (No fridge in my room??) No one at the front desk to check me out. Maid entered my room but didn’t replace the soap or wash cloth. Sort of remade my bed. Not sure why they bothered. Staff was nice and tried their best to make the best of it. If this is the business model at Motel 6 I will pass in the future.

Horrible experience . It was cold and heater did not work . I did report it following day , and it still didn’t function . My room was not done either . My stay was for 4 nights , and the excuse I got was that they were shorthanded . My responsibility is to pay , commodities included . I don’t sign employee payroll, so to me , that is not my problem . My bed was not done , nor sheets replaced for 2 days in a row . Will I recommend this place ? Never . And their internet service ? Hideous .

Everything was great except there was an exit door right next to my room 136 and every time it shut it would make a loud sound because it slammed into the door frame instead of closing. People used it late at night and early in the morning.

Friendly, helpful staff. Rooms were noisy, AC did not work properly, making the rooms damp and uncomfortable. Distinct odor, possibly mildew and chemical cleaner. Blackout curtain did not keep out light from spotlight aimed at window. I will not be a repeat customer.

For 60 bucks it was awesome deal. 2 queen beds what a deal. For that price your thinking chit hole and believe me I took chances at 80 buck deals and yep, chit hole. But since this was a quick trip just to sleep in for 6 to 7 hours sound fair. But nope was surprise with this hotel look, cleaness, and help. Was even in a high area location with restaurants mall, etc close by.

For the price you can't beat it, we don't vacation to stay in our room, so it was definitely a good choice for us. A decent place to lay your head! Free coffee in the morning, the pool area was clean and the front desk clerk was very nice.
