Advertised with 24h coffee, breakfast, hairdryer, coffee maker in room, iron and ironing board in room, but none of these available. Lobby locked and no one at front desk. Rooms look nothing like the pictures shown. Had some random banging out door at 04:00am for no reason. Would not recommend staying here at all

My one-night stay was disappointing overall, but the lady at the front desk was the one bright spot. She was kind and accommodating, even with our late-night check-in, and went out of her way to make sure we felt welcomed. She did, however, warn us multiple times to lock everything up due to a lot of people walking around at night, which was concerning. The non-smoking room we booked smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, and the entire space felt run-down and in need of serious maintenance. The bathroom had a noticeable urine odor, adding to the discomfort. Additionally, although pictures and information advertised that breakfast was included, there was none offered during our stay.

Perhaps they should CLEAN the toilets between guests. Perhaps they should CLEAN the walls of what looks suspiciously like black mold. How about some routine maintenance on doors, jambs, etc. I will never stay in an Econo lodge again!

Fair

Check in was great, was told it was a non-smoking room. The room reeked of smoke smell, they tried to cover it up...however definitely did not work. Cigarette burn holes in curtains...could see next morning when sun came up. Room was fairly clean and had been upgraded. T.V. was smaller than most motels. Pillows were flat, not fluffy. Was just there to sleep and shower, so it did ok for that purpose.

Best nights on our trip

Had a BAD experience at Motel 6 the night before and these PROFESSIONAL, caring people saved the day and our trip. They went out of their way to accommodate us QUICKLY and CONTINUED to care for us until we left. I have ALREADY rebooked. The manager (I forget HER name) was ESPECIALLY accommodating and HELPFUL!! The ONLY problem I had was that the internet and my phone weren't compatible.

There were holes punched in the bathroom door, 1 bed was broken and folded when you sat on it. The door had been previously kicked in and was not secure. We booked 2 rooms and they put us on opposite sides of the hotel. It was quiet and I didn't see any bugs inside, so that's a plus.
