“Ok for the money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Ok, So I just need a place to crash for about 6 hours and evrything else was sold out due to snow storms. Stopped at this place and for the most part was happy. Small rooms, super nice staff and the rooms were clean enough. If you need a cheap stay and not into the big flashy flashy. Stop here. The bed was very very firm (hard) other than that it was OK in a pinch and only 40.00 bucks.

“Do not stay here go elsewhere”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2009

My family and I checked in at 11:30 pm on 12 July 09 and checked out at 11:50pm on 12 July 09. The first room had dog feces on the carpet, pet urine on the wall, human hair on the sheets, and the smell was unbearable. Giving the motel another chance we were moved to another room, this room was unsanitary as well. We requested a refund and checked into another hotel. This was the worse Motel 6 I have ever seen, you should expect cleanliness while traveling with pets.

“Even if you like Motel 6's, Do not stay at this one!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2009

I'm a big fan of Motel 6 as a chain. They provide nothing more than necessary for the cheapest price possible. They are always clean, but not always the newest. some have worn out carpet or small TVs. But they provide a roof over your head. I've stay in lot's of Motel 6's and will stay in plenty more.

This Motel on the other hand was a disgrace to this chain. After we checking in, I went to use the bathroom and found a large green booger stuck to the wall of the bathroom. I went to wipe it off not planning on making a big deal about it when I discovered it was hard, crusty and had been there for a while. So i went to call the front desk and the phone didn't work! The rest of the hotel room reflected the improper maintenance and cleaning as was found in the bathroom.

The whole hotel is worn out and not clean. The pool looked ok but we decided not to go for a swim because someone pooed in it the first day we checked in. We payed an extra $10 to stay at this one because it was 15 minutes closer to where we were visiting. I've never felt more ripped off by a hotel before.

Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.

If you end up staying in the area, the Mexican restaurant next door, Le Mesa, has the best margaritas!
