“Below Par...even for a Motel 6....Keep driving!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

We were on our way to New Orleans for the New Year's holiday and stopped here for a few hours rest before continuing our drive. The sleep was OK except the cleaning agent on the bed linens made me sneeze a lot. There were NO trash cans in the room, the faucet spewed forth some black particles when initially turrned on, the TV's remote control did not work at all, the plugs near the sink did not work, and the carpet felt grimy (so we questioned the cleanliness of everything in the room...ICK!!).

We like to stay in Motel 6s when we travel because the rates are good and we normally have a predictable experience for a good sleep and a nice shower. There was a police patrol in the parking lot all night so our car was safe. But, the next morning when I turned in my key cards, the clerk tried to "bribe" us with breakfast somewhere after I told her about my pending Trip Advisor review and the troubles we had. Of course, I declined the breakfast. (She could not tell me where a local good breakfast place was anyway.)

NOTE: The Motel 6 in New Orleans on Old Gentilly Road was excellent compared to this one!

Room Tip: Don't bother...keep driving!!

“An absolute disgrace!”

This motel was disgusting, old, worn, trashy, drug infested dump. When we arrived it was so hot in the area of check-in that my husband had to go catch his breath while we stood there patiently waiting in that sweat box and the clerk acted as if it wasn't hot as she took her time. When we finally got to the room it smelled like something died in it. We returned to the front and was moved to another room that smelled a little better but had all sorts of surprises on the wall as they were dirty with grime and gunk. The tub had a dirt ring as if it hadnt been cleaned in a year. Good thing we travel with bedding because the comforter had things that resemble feces and urine on it. If we hadn't traveled 300 miles we would have cut our loses and got out of there quick. To top it all off as we checked out and let the lady at the desk know about our stay an older lady appeared out and annouced that she was the manager and instead of apologizing that debocial she defends the nasty room saying that she personally checked those rooms and we just told her we see why the rooms look like they do and walked out. After all at the end of the day its their loss If they don't care to know we will not stay at a Notel6 ever again.

Worst motel i've ever been in. Holes in carpet and bedspread..door handle broke...bugs in the bathroom...enough mold on shower curtain to start a coloney..Plug in for T.V hanging out of the wall....Suspicious people lingering thoughout... Smelled like.....not good!!! Much better motels in the area for same price. Dont be fooled by the "motel 6" logo...

“DO NOT STAY HERE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2010
2
people found this review helpful

This is a drug infested crap hole hotel. There are pimps, dealers and hookers all over this place. Illegal aliens playing loud music, drinking and partying all night, cooking and doing laundry out doors. Rooms are filthy and nothing works. Caught an Illegal alien stealing out of my truck at 0230, held him there at gunpoint until police arrived and took him into custody. Someone knocked on my door all night long. There were chicken bones all over the parking lot where someone had eaten wings and just threw the bones out. The rooms stunk so bad it made me sick. One of my work partners developed a rash on his backside from sleeping in a filthy bed. We stayed one night and got a room at no-name hotel that appeard to be a dump but turned out to be a jewel in the rough. None of these problems there.

“Disgusting! Dirty, Squashed Bugs on Walls, Stains, Short Hairs in Shower....”

This hotel is really gross, and I am not exaggerating. I can`t even believe I am actually staying here....I am worried I might get bedbugs! I can`t even begin to describe how beat up the bed are, the pillows are flat, the blankets are dirty, the carpet disgusting, the base moulding peeling away from the wall, I don`t think the shower has ever been cleaned!
There are people renting by the week hanging out in the parking lot....
