I'm trekking across the US with my sister and we're staying exclusively in Motel 6s to save money. We were bracing for the worst when we came here--it's major flaw is that it's VERY noisy. I can hear the traffic of the fwy constantly, and briefly during one of our two night stays, someone was running some kind of weird bass rumble somewhere... but that's my only real complaint.
We stayed in the first floor and were pleasantly surprised to discover it had an amusing turquoise wall that matched the taupe-and-turquoise bedspread. The floor is some kind of bamboo patterned laminate--kind of weird looking but at least it was sparkly clean. Must be a recent remodel, judging from the other reviews here.The room had no bad odors whatsoever and the sheets actually smelled fresh. The pillows were amazingly plush.
The bathroom had all of the required amenities (we had a room with two kingsized beds, so we got two towels... in past experience with motel 6, they only give you one...)
Our trip required a two-night stay in Houston and we're glad we found our way to this particular Motel 6.

I felt completely safe and welcome at the Motel 6 even though the surroundings were less than comforting. The room was clean, smoke-free, and even the parking lot was patrolled.

Reserved by internet, thought this would be easier, upon arrival there was a couple yelling at each other like they were about to lose their lungs, upon entering, the computer system was down, had to wait until it was back up, counter person was nice enough to give me a small discount but at least recognized the inconvenience. I was located in front of building and never got a good night rest due to traffic noise, it was terrible. Do not allow to get a front room because you might as well not sleep at all. Had trouble looking for a working light so finally found one at the end of the room when I was entering. Why have security if all I saw him doing was talking to his friends and sitting on the stairs. I would not stay in the same room or proximity but I will stay again because of the value and the close proximity to location. Hey I understand you get for what you pay for and if you want a top tier place, this is not the one to choose. Good Luck!

unkept, unclean unsafe un every other word i can think of....very very dirty outside inside not much better...staff was mor interested in their cell phones etc than guest..maids sitting behind the counter complaining....room was like a dungeon (220) nothing but noise from an old elevator and people in the hall way all night..ladies on cell phones in the parking lot directing men to the hotel....ladies trying to borrow cell phones from patrons....arrest being made in the parking lot.... filthy stairways and hall ways...water from a/c units dripping down....no security at all...none nada zip....most unsafe i have ever felt in a motel stay....oh yeah and the drug dealers comin and going added to the excitement....,
