Undesirable
Pros:

I had enough room to park my 35' uhaul with a 24' trailer.

Cons:

For as much money your company makes, it's unfortunate that your properties are rundown and barley kept up to sub-par standards. Repairs are done as badly as possible, given the fact your company pays as little as possible to get the job done properly. I've been in the construction field for 50 years and it pains me to see such shotty workmanship being done because, your company pays very little to do the job right!

The highlight was the night shift check-in dude. He was cool and on top of things.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and the climate control was nice. It kept the room a temperature that helped me sleep.

Cons:

No soap that wasn’t a bar. It might just be the location and not Motel 6’s fault but there were some scruffy looking people being loud outside. Maybe I could only tell because the walls are paper thin.

Overal satisfactory.
Pros:

Price/location

Cons:

The peeling flooring. No drawers. Rode a motorcycle, and when I got back from dinner, there were no parking spaces within view of my room. I had to park around the side of the building, so I parked next to my room and received a warning note.

Do not stay here...the price is not worth it
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Requested a non-smoking room. Upon entering the room it smelled of cigarettes causing my son who has asthma breathing difficulties. Had to leave & ended up sleeping in our car because Motel 6 wouldn't refund

Enttäuschend und nicht zu empfehlen
Pros:

Nichts

Cons:

Es war schmutzig. Ein Blick unter die Betten, der Dreck und Müll war erschreckend. Die Bettwäsche voller Flecken, als wäre sie nie gewechselt worden. Das Zimmer stank nach Zigarette oder was auch immer für Qualm.
Die Möbel zu 90% stark beschädigt. Der Boden des Raumes machte den Eindruck, dass man gleich durchbrechen würde.
Die Hinweisschilder im Raum und auch außerhalb vermittelten das Gefühl, dass man ein erhebliches Sicherheitsproblem hat.
Die Nachfrage nach einem Fön war erfolglos. Die Toilettenschüssel,wie auch das Waschbecken, stark beschädigt.
Das Personal war freundlich.
Das alles für 97$ für eine Nacht.
Wir kennen Motel 6 aus früheren Urlauben und hatten deshalb keine Bedenken bei der Buchung. Was wir vorfanden, war ernüchternd.

Horrible. Stinky..
Pros:

The staff was very nice.

Cons:

When I rented the room there was NO blankets on the bed. The room smelled like dead cigarette smoke. It was the most uncomfortable and hard to breathe stay I’ve ever experienced. I stay at this place often and why they would rent this room to anyone is beyond me. I will be looking for another place to stay. Do not rent room 123
