The outlet in the bathroom didn't work at all and we got the room to get ready for a wedding reception. There was a partially smoked weed blunt hanging out in the hallway outside our room that smelt really bad. We had two pillows that were about half the size of normal pillows asked for more and they didn't have pillowcases. At least the AC worked in the room

Lots to improve, but inexpensive.

Room was small, there was a hole in the wall. Wires exposed for the TV, the tub faucet leaked all night, the soap bar was small and crumbled when used and finally the towels barely covered the body.

Very poor service. Dirty conditions. Outside doors propped open 24 hours a day making it feel very unsafe. No front desk help so we had to call to get into our room late in the evening. The help sleeps on the 2nd floor. Not a good experience!

Ehh

Credit card machine didn’t work. Has to post with cash. Had no coins to give back change, the whole 2nd floor reeked of drugs. People in one of the rooms was very loud, rooms were simple, mostly clean, but comfortable. The room we stayed in was painted in orange which was almost too much

Disappointing experience in Marshalltown

I frequently choose Motel 6 when traveling with my pet: they are generally a good value for just a quick overnight stay. The Motel 6 in Marshalltown was the first Motel 6 I’ve patronized to require a cash fee for my pet beyond a deposit. No one was at the front desk when I arrived or dropped by to check out—just a number to call. After a wait of not a few minutes, a young lady arrived to check us in. She was nice and tried to be helpful, but someone had to walk her through the check-in process over the phone. If I’m going to pay extra for my pet, I will choose another hotel that provides amenities and front desk service next time I visit Marshalltown. The room itself was fine, though the beds were less comfortable than most.

Property is old and worn down. There was a language Barrier with one staff and the other I don’t think knew her job any better. I had paid on line, but they insisted that it wasn’t Even though there is an original receipt. They insisted on collecting $119 in cash because they said my card was declined. The number they quoted on the credit card was not mine and they said I couldn’t get a copy of the paperwork until the next day when their manager came in. Out almost $200 for an unsafe, dirty room. I won’t be back and everyone I know will be told of this incident. If not taken care of I will call the police. I asked if there was a video camera on the front desk because that would show them collecting $120 from me and the man giving me $1 back. I also went through Expedia, I won’t make that mistake again.

The bathroom floor was filthy, the bath tub had "hair" in it and the stool would not hardly flush. The bedroom floor was also dirty and when we walked in, I immediately killed a bug on the floor. I looked at reviews on Expedia and they were pretty good, but I would recommend staying somewhere else.

the room had paint peeling off the ceiling, shower dripped all night, no tissue in the room, no shampoo, but they gave me conditioner. There toilets barely function, towels are cheap and thin. The only two things that were ok was the water was hot (ish) and the bed was ok - but the pillows were the smallest pillows I have ever seen.
