Checking in, the staff was very nice. However, the floors in our room were so dirty like they hadn't been mopped in months. My white socks were black. The lights on the walls were covered in dust, so much that they were yellow. I wish I had taken pictures, which I usually do. I really didn't feel safe there. Talking to another guest as we waited for the elevator, I mentioned that maybe next time I will take the stairs. He flat out told me not to do that, insinuating the stairwells are not safe My advice- look for another hotel for your stay.

Overall ok for the price. Cosmetic property damage & noticeable lint & sand on the bedsheets, but was ok. Bed was comfy, the room was overall ok on cleanliness, but it's evident they need more cleaning staff with things like the microwave needing a better clean, and a sign indicating limited towels at the front desk. My non smoking room did smell a little of smoke and had noticeable singe marks on a desk. So beware if you're asthmatic. I would probably stay here again next time I'm in the area - but not for more than 1-2 nights.

First times the charm
Room was basic. No fridge, no microwave. Staff will heat and food up in their microwave if needed. Staff was the best part of my stay. Everyone was great. Thank you, to them all. Kinda noisy from outside my room. It wasn't unbearable, but, still noisy.

It was a convenient stop, a little off the path for amenities, but the property felt safe, staff was pleasant and polite. Nothing high end, but just fine for an overnight stop, a bed and shower, and always a bonus when they allow your pets without having to jump through hoops and pay all sorts of fees.

Room was not fully cleaned. Two pillows and thin sheets. Bathroom had hair from previous stay. Dead bug on ground. Roach up the wall on my way out the next morning. If you need a spot to lay your head for a few hours you get what you pay for. The staff was very kind though!

Wonderful
The staff are very friendly and attentive. My room was clean and housekeeping came every day. The property felt safe. And for once the room had no weird smell like most hotels.

Hospitality didn’t exist. Had to pay for room plus $20 cash only fee. Ceiling had mold. Shower barely worked plus moldy show curtain. Would never stay there again. Not a safe area.

The staff was pleasant, the property is the worse motel 6 I’ve ever stay in, no refrigerator or microwaves in rooms. Had to ask staff to warm up food, unsanitary conditions inside rooms and bathrooms. The atmosphere as a whole of the motel was very uncomfortable and disgusting and the Oder was unbearable. A new renovation of a upgraded is need ASAP or rebuild the structure that is presentable to customers and more things for guess

The Motel Is In Disrepair
The motel is in disrepair.
Outside of the building is dirty & missing screens on windows.
Inside is dilapidated, what little furniture exists is worn, mattress had a permanent trough, fixtures were broken.
Shower barely trickled, but after replacement of the shower head, had so much pressure, it was painful on my face.
Good news is once the staff alerted maintenance, he was quick to take action. Also I only had to squash one bug and it wasn't a cockroach!
