A horrid experience exacerbated by rude manager that knows better
Pros:

Nothing the Manager that booked me in on Saturday after MANY delays signed me out on Monday at 730 am couldn’t have been more obnoxious and RUDE. Have a Booking Mgr call me on this. Motel 6 should replace her. I am a reasonable person who rarely encounters a problem we can’t work through. Made me come back 3 times to get the room day one .. was there 2 nights booked elsewhere for a week and all is GREAT. Never cleaned room or furnished towels. I was NOT expecting bell hop service BUT the bare essentials of curtesy and towels and room availability…. YES I was hoping for at least that well NO didn’t happen and more importantly SHE was GLAD ( how sick) that it didn’t. Until this is rectified I will never use motel 6 ever…. But I also won’t use booking.com til you sort this fairly for me.

never ever... I would rather sleep in my car
Pros:

very very scary place. looked like it belonged in a murder movie so didnt stay

Cons:

staff was noce, there looks like homelessness and drug addicts and possibly prostitutes around the establishment, the establishment was in a par sales lot, it's very hard to describe the actual room itself. it was worse than a college dorm, I have never even looked at somewhere as bad let alone would have stayed there

You get what you pay for.... not even
Cons:

The room was advertised to sleep 4 but the beds were 2 full size and too close to each other without the ability to move them further apart.
The a/c motor was very loud. So were the two rooms on either side of us - major snoring and the TV was left on all night.
The sink was clogged so we had to wait between the 2 of us to simply brush our teeth.
The toilet seat was clean BUT it was discolored and scratched up. It's not hard to replace a seat!
No blanket - just a top sheet and the coverlet.
Old, lumpy pillows
We had a non-smoking room but the hallway reaked bad of smoke.
$50 would have been a better price than$87.
