Great staff, but hotel needs renovation.
Pros:

The staff were great. We needed a room change because the smoke detector in our room was out of batteries and they immediately changed it for us. What's more, I left my wallet in the original room and didn't realize until the morning, but the staff found it and held it for me. The bed was comfortable enough and the shower was warm.

Cons:

There were zero amenities (not even shampoo/conditioner), the cleanliness was only passable (stained sheets and walls), the hallways and stairwells smelled quite poor, and the elevator was broken. It also isn't great there was a broken smoke detector in the first place. For $80, you get what you get.

I slept well. It was turned off by the negatives.
Pros:

It was in a convenient location. The sheets were clean and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

There were no towels, no soap, no hair dryer, no tissues. There was a large and disgusting stain on the floor of the bathtub. I had to go to the store to buy soap and tissues, and to the front desk to ask for towels. When I arrived they told me the elevator was broken so they were putting me on the first floor.

Definitely Worth the Stay! A Solid 7-8!
Pros:

Everything was pretty damn good! In the center of the bottom of the tub, it looked like it previously must have cracked and somebody on the maintenance dept slapped some disgusting brown sealer, which didnt work anyway on it. I was ok with it but I reported it to Amy or Sarah at the front desk. There were lights that needed replacing too however, this Motel 6 gets bad reviews and I have stayed there multiple times and although its not a "10", its a Solid 7-8 and you can't beat the price! The staff is awesome, the rooms are clean and I would say half of the beds are firm. Its worth the stay!

Cons:

Bathtub bottom cracked and botched job trying to seal it. Tub needs to be replaced. Light bulbs need replacing as some were out including the main switch. Half of the beds need to be replaced. The mattresses are shot on half of the beds.
