Horrible
Pros:

I didn’t like nothing about this place. I had to switch rooms and still it was dirty. I will not be coming to motel 6 again.

Cons:

The floors was slippery and dirty. I used a towel to wipe some of the stuff off the floor and the towel was very very dirty and it has a smell. Plus roaches I didn’t sleep at all.

You get what you pay for
Pros:

The location is near a lot of food places

Cons:

The blankets were full of cigarette burns. It was not clean. Dirty towel left behind the bathroom door. The towels that were supposed to be clean had hair hanging from them. There was a roach crawling in the toilet and I killed at least three spiders in the bathroom

Cons:

This place was more disappointing then last time. I forgot they knock on and open your door at 10am. Working overnight leaves little time to sleep until checkout sometimes then they knock on your door at 10 like clock work each time I've stayed. I definitely won't be back. I wish I would have remembered it before booking again.
