Bed comfortable.

White sheets and towels looked like they needed to be replaced with new ones. They looked greyish. Towels too thin. Food was left in fridge from previous guests. Hair was left on shower doors from previous guests. TV had weak or no signal.

Will NEVER stay here again AND we will think twice before EVER staying at another Motel 6!
Pros:

The shower was big, wheelchair accessable, and it had plenty of water pressure.
The room was clean.

Cons:

We stayed 2 nights and three days. We booked two full beds and got one, NOT enough sleeping space! They didn't clean the room even though we asked the housekkeeper too. We had to ask for clean towels. There was no closet, just a box with a rod in it. The was no suit case stand. There was only a part-time desk person and a kiosk. My phone took some doing with help to connect to Wi-Fi. The pool was closed. The room almost ruined our time away because it's such a huge part of the expence of trying to relaxe.

Not what I expected so do better
Pros:

Location was good access to outdoor activities

Cons:

Pool was closed, my grandson was disappointed after a 4 hour drive. Neighbors on both sides of my room noise and slamming doors kinda sucked.

Filthy, Filthy. Filthy
Pros:

Pleasant staff

Cons:

Filthy rooms, smell like smoke. Obviously not cleaned, towels were dingy yellowish color, previous occupant clothing was left in the room just disgusting! A quarter roll of toilet paper left on roll with no additional rolls in room. This was a very disappointing stay.

Sehr gutes Motel - Weiterempfehlung
Pros:

Hervorragende Lage, sehr großzügiges Zimmer. Sehr saubere und gut funktionierende Waschmöglichkeit (ich hatte selbst Waschmittel dabei und konnte ich nützen). Waschmittel und Waschmaschiene zu fairen Preisen nützbar (1 Waschgang 3,75$)
Unser Zimmer war sehr sauber mit meistens guter Ausstattung.

Cons:

Personal haben wir nur 1x ganz kurz gesehen, regulär läuft der Check in+ out per Video im "Office". Dafür 24h Service verfügbar.
Der Lüfter im Bad ist so laut, dass ich das Licht meistens nicht angeschalten habe, funktioniert hätte alles.
Das Bett war für unseren Geschmack zu weich - aber das ist ja sehr individuell.

Awful area, awful service, zero cleanliness.

Absolutely nothing.

Cons:

There wasn't even hand soap, the sheets were filled with somebody else's hair, floors weren't even swept

The room was clean. Parking was good. It did the job.
Pros:

There was no breakfast we were disappointed about that and I received an email about Covid

Cons:

Well, for one thing there should be an extra pillow in the room because someone always needs two. The parking was fine. The room was fine although in the room, everything was unplugged the refrigerator was unplugged. The TV was unplugged and I’m not expecting to have to move furniture to plug everything in. We just thought they were broken and then signing in with the virtual person wasn’t great, but it was fine. I dealt with it and no breakfast because of Covid, that was weird
