Unruly guests
Was able to sleep all night. People fighting and arguing in the hallways. People smoking outside the rooms and because there is no A/C we left the window open. And finally the police lights at 3;00 am to stop the constant arguing out in the parking lot.

You get what yoy pay for
We basically needed a place just to sleep so it was fine. We were not told that theAC wasn’t working until we got there but honestly we didn’t need it. When I asked for a discount I was told that’s why the price was cheaper. The other Motel 6 that was close by was asking over $300. We had a decent sleep but our neighbors were loud. I would stay here again if it’s just to sleep not for vacation. The rooms are very old but clean.

Over priced & terrible rooms & location
Checking in was easy. When we got to the room we found out the AC was not working for the whole building & no plans to get it fixed during our stay. We reserved 3 rooms. One of the rooms bathroom was not cleaned & missing a screen on the window. All the rooms have a terrible smell.
There a creek or something near by where homeless kept coming & going. We were on motorcycles & we didn’t feel comfortable leaving them out.
We asked for a refund & we were all given a full refund which we are fretful for!

The employees were very friendly. The inside of the room does need to be upgraded. Curtains were kind of falling off the hangers and the people in the area where a bit sketchy. The sheets and towels were clean though.

Staff was great- hard working even with many people to handle. The amenities are sparse but reasonable for the price and are as advertised. Close to Dennys, sushi restaurants, markets, shopping, etc. Great value for the price, especially on a holiday weekend.

Stay somewhere else
Poor service. Was told on check in the AC wasn’t working but because I pre paid for the room there was nothing that could be offered to me. The room is extremely noisy making it difficult to get rest. Witnessed several other guests trying to resolve problems at the front desk. No coffee maker, no fridge.

Okay but avoid if possible
Customer service was bad, we checked in around 5 PM w reservations & had to wait almost half an hour due to the rooms still being cleaned. Checked in & the room was barely clean.
No AC, it's been out for months w no plans of fixing it soon.
Heavy foot traffic at night, made it kind of loud & difficult to sleep.
Found a bug, not a bed bug but still not very clean.
Okay place to sleep, but find something better, usually not picky w motel 6 but the service was bad.

The air conditioner was out for entire hotel, it was uncomfortable when arrived in afternoon to check in, not informed until we got there, to late to try and make other arrangements, we felt stuck, would not give us a discount as made reservation third party said not likely. Bed not comfortable, was hard and slid sideways, nothing keeping it in place. Shower curtain was not in working order. Not a good stay, we stayed out later to avoid heat.

Filth and bugs. BEWARE!!
Filthy restroom and shower. Bed bugs. No sympathy or offer to reimburse part of the price. Second worst hotel I've ever stayed at.
