The stairwells were dirty. The hallways had an odor and did not seem clean. The towels were few and not very good. At least the beds looked clean and the AC worked.
The bathroom is so gross. I will take a shower in it. Also ground floor room without privacy curtains. You can easily see in and out of the room.

Staff was not at front desk, Is the room the bed frame didnt fit the bed, and the TV didnt work and they said they would send someone up and no one ever showed up...
We needed a night’s sleep and nothing more so stayed here based on recent positive experiences at other Motel 6 locations. There were several people loitering in the parking lot and the lock on the side door wasn’t working so I’m glad my husband was with me. The room was fine and to be expected for the price but the curtains were completely sheer. Finally the AC was insanely loud and the mattress was older so sleep was hard to come by. Spend a few more dollars elsewhere.
What i liked, it was a few doors down from Perkins Family Restaurant.
What we didn't like. I would not recommend this motel to anyone. The lobby & the room, was not at all like the pictures online. Everything in the room needed to be replaced or updated. It was tired.Especially the toilet seat, which had gouges in it. We had to put a towel to stand on in the tub, due to the stains, etc.#204. The bed skirt was oversized & a trip hazard.
The people above us were noisy. We left at 6am, we had a poor night's sleep. We didn't feel comfortable staying any longer, than we had to.
We paid for 2 rooms and they would only give us one. They were very rude and refused the 2nd room. Hotel is dirty and the showers barely work. Dont stay here
This property is no longer even a real motel. There is no one at the front desk and they don't answer the phone they say to pick up & call. When I finally got help, the room had flies all over it. The building is mostly occupied by people who do not appear to be hotel guests - it is housing locals from the community. When I returned to my room, my key card would no longer open the door and I could not access my room or belongings. Nobody was at the desk and no one answered the phone to help. Constant noise above my room throughout the night made it almost impossible to sleep. Although I could not get a refund, I did not stay at the property the second night because the experience did not feel entirely safe. This was the worst motel experience of my life. Expedia should remove this property from their website immediately.
Very friendly serve Given veterans discount which was nice Room clean very basic but grwat price for good night sleep

Comfy bed! Found a few hairs in the sheets and the floors needed swept in the room and the bathroom but overall it was a fine room. Towels were really soft.
Terrible motel. Dog paw prints and hair on the bedspread, stained bath towels, no hand soap, broken ac unit, shabby and threadbare curtains, spilled red sticky liquid on the floor just inside the door, stale smoke smell.

So many areas needed either paint, or replacement (toilet seat) spiders in the room, room had a bad odor. The manager gal was very accommodating for me when I first arrived at the motel.

We get what we pay for
We needed an inexpensive place to stay and we got what we paid for.
Room was very clean. Staff was friendly. Bed was fine.
Computer issues delayed our check-in and our keys.
We could have used a small bar of soap with our sink.
Fan in bathroom was noisy, toilet seat had gouges and water pressure was a bit much.
But again, we get what we pay for.
We can't remember whether or not there was morning coffee but we didn't see any.
Gross hotel, crumpled, used pillow case at the foot of the bed, lights didn't work, a bug on the wall, hair in the sink, no smoke detector, dirty floor, hallway stunk.
