This hotel would have been fine if you could go into the room and not think about how the grounds of the hotel looked or what was happening outside your room. (See photo.) The room was spotless and for being simply furnished, was still attractive.
I guess my first impression when I walked to the room was, "Whew! This place is really a mess!" To get the room, one had to pass trash piled up beside the front building. Not sure why this wasn't in a dumpster. When I remarked about it the clerk said that it would be picked up in a day or so. As we walked across the parking lot there was a dirty hand towel on the ground. On the exterior hall near our room there was a used washcloth.
KEYS ! I put this word in large letters, because we had continuous problems trying to get into our room. I went to the desk three times to get our key cards changed because we couldn't get into the room. On the third trip, the maid was in the office and opened our door with her key. It was hot and a long way to the office, so this was not good!
A third problem at this hotel was a young woman who was drunk and sat out in her SUV blowing the horn continuously. Occasionally she would come into the office to yell at the staff. They had called her husband to come get her, but it was at least 20 minutes before anyone arrived. Another guest asked me later what had happened; he said he saw a man open a car door and drag a young woman across the parking lot into his car. Why didn't they just notify the police in the first place ?
We will still use the Motel 6 chain, but just not this location.
