Disgusting! Do not recommend any one stay there.
Pros:

Nothing good to say about our stay!

Cons:

The hotel room as filthy. Stain on the bed sheets and the smell was terrible. The hotel put us on a smoking room because we booked through an external site (Booking.com). There was 4 roaches in the room and I couldn’t sleep all night. I felt sick staying there and never will book a motel 6 again.

It was the only thing I could find in the area on short notice
Pros:

I was able to leave without my car or room being broken into

Cons:

Towels were terrible, had better absorption from paper towels. Had to leave my driver's license to use the one hair dryer from the front desk attendant. No shampoo or conditioner.
