“Beware of this one. Make sure you leave with your property!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

After I had returned from staying at this fleabag flophouse, I received a phone call from one of its employees, asking me if I had left a silver necklace (with a crucifix) in the room. Apparently, one of the staff found it when cleaning up. I realized I had, and asked them to hold it for me until the following Saturday.

When Saturday proved impossible, I called back and spoke to the manager. She advised me that it was their policy that if property was found in a guest's room, staff are not to tell the owner of the property. She informed me that when I asked the employee details about the necklace, the employee had violated hotel rules by revealing anything.

In other words, they intended to keep my property, even after it had been turned over to their lost and found!

Stay there at your own risk. If you must stay there, then be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN you leave with ALL of your property!

“Absolutely Disgusting!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2010

This is the dirtiest motel I have ever been in. The carpet looked like something out of CSI. Thanks God we did not have a blue light! Bathroom was filthy, sheets weren't clean, sink was stopped up. And we were itchy the next day!

“Speechless”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2010

person found this review helpful

To start, when we got to our rooms, we noticed that there wasn't an alarm clock, table, or extra chairs. We thought this was a random occurrence with our room, but the other 2 rooms that our family had, they were also missing their alarm clock, table and chairs. We only had 3 towels in our room, even after we told them there would be 4 people staying in the room. The bathroom was disgusting. The tub/shower didn't have anything for a handle or grip on the floor. Very dangerous!!!!! Our family met in Bloomington for the Iowa-Indiana game as a little "reunion." We called the front desk and asked if we could get a table and chairs to play cards and were told that they are in the middle of renovating the rooms. We thought that was bogus. Apparently the alarm clocks were a major part of the renovations as well and couldn't have one. When we returned from the game, the locks had been changed on 2 of our 3 rooms. Our room wasn't made up and we had to go request more clean towels. I will say it was a great location for the football game and it had good coffee in the mornings. But not good enough for us to ever go back.

“What were those wet stains on the pillow?”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

It was almost the only room left in town, so we tried to ignore the wretched smell and the filthy carpet, but when we pulled back the sheets and noticed the wet spots on the pillow and sheet that was the last straw. We would rather sleep in the car. Fortunately, we were able to reach an unsuspecting relative and sleep on their sofa.

“extremely filthy floors and bathroom”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

the room had been painted and the typical motel 6 furniture was rather new. i checked for bedbugs due to other reviews but there were none and the mattresses seemed to be new. there were the usual limited channels on the tv.
the carpeting and everything in the tiny bathroom- toilet, tub, floor- were EXTREMELY filthy and the room had a terrible smell to it. when i moved to a second room, it was exactly the same- new paint and mattress but DISGUSTING carpetting and bathroom. the owner obviously doesn't care about the guests.
the room was only $30 with aarp discount so it was a cheap stay. but on w/es they double the rate- i would NEVER pay that rate for such a filthy, unsanitary place.
i stay at motel 6s very frequently and like their rates and usual clean rooms. but this motel 6 was EXCEPTIONALLY flithy.
