Pros:

Location

Cons:

Bathroom was dirty with purple dye of some sort, no shower curtain, towels had dirty hand prints on them, sheets, blankets were dirty and had cigarette burns in them. Woke up in the AM to animal feces on the top of the “wardrobe area”, fridge had no shelves

Slum
Pros:

Just the entrance of the building

Cons:

Well the first room they put me in the toilet did not work nor did the TV but on the way to the room the hallway carpet was covered in dog hair and smelled like dog urine and I could hear dogs barking out of rooms people were living in this hotel not just staying but living it is like a slumptail so after the first room I asked for a second room went to the second room the drywall falling off the walls the bed was nasty look like it had black mold on it so I took my dog to go use the bathroom to think about the situation and decided I was not staying there that I wanted to complete full refund so I drove the extra fee hours or so that I had to drive to get home after driving all day My overall rating is this place needs shut down

If you value your health and safety stay far away from this hotel
Pros:

I liked nothing about this hotel. It was beyond filthy. The entrance to the hotel had a broken door and the lobby looked like it had not been cleaned in quite some time. The elevator was scary. The actual room door looked liked it had been broken into and the lock mechanism was separated from the door and poorly Jerry-rigged back in some semblance of place. There was a poorly patched hole in one of the room walls. The shower curtain and shower mat was encrusted with moldy filth. One pillow on the bed looked brown with filth - and there were stains on the sheets they actually expected us to sleep on. Needless to say we didn’t not stay and will never be back

Cons:

We used to stay here regularly. Never again. It was one of the most disgusting hotel room I have ever seen.

Not comfortable. Slept in my close and didn't sleep good.
Pros:

Location was only thing descent

Cons:

Entire hotel is gross and dirty. Maintenance guy has died and housekeeper retired apparently.
Pool area has trash, broken chairs and misc stuff around it. Not safe for kids w/ no lock on gate.
No hottube as website stated which is a flat out lie. Rooms are stinky and floors dirty. Pillows are worn out and belong in trash. Shower head broke. Only 2 towels for 4 people in bathroom. I've stayed at other motel 6 and they don't have to be this gross.
I booked 3 rooms and only 1 had a fridge in it.

It's a shit hole
Pros:

There's nothing to like. It's garbage. Do Not Stay Here.

Cons:

The place is trash. I was greeted by a cock roach when I looked in the bathroom. Walls were beat to death and seemed to be home to pot smoking locals. Do Not Stay Here... I was in the room for roughly 3 minutes.

Horrible experience!
Pros:

It was convenient to gas stations and restaurants

Cons:

There were live roaches in the room. We asked to get our money back and we couldn’t.. they put us in another room that was filthy and had not been cleaned. There were dead bugs on the floor, the towels smelled horrible and we only had 1 wash rag and it looked filthy. No one offered to give us money back.. the staff just kept making excuses for everything. We will never stay here again and I would’ve advise anyone else to stay here.
