Stay was ok......

The beds were well used old school spring mattresses the made noise every time you moved. My wife found the bed very uncomfortable. Also be aware for 3rd party bookings they require the room deposit in cash. They won't charge the card you used to book the room for the deposit.

Absolutely false advertisement the rooms are way more cheaper than it looks in the pictures. They charged 100$ it should be not more than 50$ per night. Anyways We checked in friday 11 pm which took 30 to 40 mins because the system was not responding! However we made to the room and when we were about to sleep somebody got into our room! We were shocked! Wth! When we asked them they said it was receptionist mistake! They gave the same room to both of us! We couldn’t sleep the whole night because of the trauma somebody getting inside! Overall I will never recommend anyone this hotel.

I was a little disappointed that they did not have a iron or blow dryer. They did not have a coffee machine in the room. They did have coffee in the lobby but you can only get coffee in the mornings, starting at 6am. The coffee was terrible. I had to buy coffee the entire time i was there. They do not have breakfast in the morning so that was disappointing as well. They were pet friendly which was nice. They did not have a closet. The room was a tiny bit cramped but overall, it was ok.

Pleasantly surprised given the price. With two queen beds in room, fridge and microwave it was a bit tight but manageable. Room seemed recently renovated with modern flooring, bathroom tiles and fixtures etc. There's not much sitting area in the room and lobby so if you're just looking for a bed and not visiting at the hotel this works just fine. Restaurant and convenience store just a block away. One pro that other hotels should learn from: lots of power outlets, up at table height and accessible! One con which also plagues many other hotels: lack of towel bars. With all that empty wall space in the bathroom, why not put up a couple of towel bars! Overall: good value if you dont mind going off-site for food, coffee and visiting.

Because everything in the address was either priced ridiculously or was sold out, we had no choice but to stay at Motel 6. The room was ok size-wise. But it was over all a run-down property. We found what appeared to be a bed bug as we pulled off the sheets from the corner of bed. It was the only one we found and we did not get any bites. The front desk did give us an option of choosing another room, but since we had already been up close to 24 hrs, we’re opted to stay in the room after careful inspection. We did not have any further problems. We did notice that the sheets were torn in some places and not very good condition; the towels were pitifully thin and small. No cleaning service nor trash pick up. I honestly do not see much value at staying at a motel 6. We will not do it again
