Not as advertised. I presume they will be losing their franchise before long.
Pros:

The one good thing was that the sheets were clean. There was no microwave or coffee maker in the room, the ice machine was broken, There were no tea bags or decaffeinated coffee. The website said there was a hot breakfast. The only thing hot was the coffee. There were bran flakes and bananas, No toast, After the first six sweet rolls were gone, none of them. The price was $35 more than it said on the internet. It majorly suffers from deferred maintenance.

It was honestly awful and I will never do this again cause of it.
Pros:

Nothing really like I didn't even stay the night I left and was charged for not staying there.

Cons:

The room was dirty, and the linen was dirty and torn. It felt unsafe because the door didn't lock properly, and the safe wasn't very kind or helpful either.

One of the worst experiences. Please people don’t waste your money in that crap of hotel. It’s better if you pay more. E
Pros:

It’s the worst hotel I’ve stayed in . People do not go there. One of the bed was broken. The room was supposed to be non smoking but the room smelled like cigarette. My wife is allergic to cats and the bed was full of cats hair. The shower looked like hadn’t been cleaned in months

Hell hole.
Pros:

I’m appalled that this building hasn’t been burned down, it’s filthy. I’ve stayed here before and I understand that I’m not paying for room amenities; however, the room had no mini fridge, that used to be there, or cable. The towels, sheets as well as the bedding were squalid. The floors were gross. I wanted to relax and enjoy Myself for the few minutes that I had and desperately needed to rest. I don’t believe that they’re charging as much as they did Me. I paid a little under a hundred dollars for the night & they lied to Me and said that was the best they could do. I know you know WHO I AM. You need to refund Me every penny that I spent just for gracing you with My Presence. I will NOT be going back this time. It was hell.

Great place!

I loved the rooms! Everything ( AC, Heater, TV, shower, and hot water ) worked great and for the price you pay, it is really really good. Also the staff is friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Could be much better with tiny effort
Pros:

With the tiniest of increased attention this would be more than adequate. However, the lack of hot water ( it is warm at about 100 F enough to wash your hands but not nearly warm enough for a shower without your teeth chattering) spoiled the stay. I accepted the smoke smell which in room 105 is relentless but felt cheated by being unable to take a warm shower. High points, good location, solid surface floors, tile shower ( that had no hot water), one bed softish and one firmer. I slept fine. Heater worked well. Direct tv. But, this was a stop over on long trip so at $66 we sucked it up!

Motel 6 stay
Pros:

For the price this is a great stay. Two clean beds, a hot shower, clean water, and a tv with more than 100 stations. Its a cheap way to stay and just right if your not expecting the Hilton. I will use them again!

Pros:

Floor was very dirty and had a large depressed area where vinyl was cracked with some missing. Shower had no place to put shampoo/shower gel bottles while in shower. Shower floor was slippery and the area around drain wasn’t finished well. Needs at least one grab bar in shower. One mattress was good but the other was way too soft.

We were told our room was just remodeled. However, there were cigarettes holes in the comforters, the shower had black stuff in the grout and looked dirty. The floor was uneven and dirty also.

The sheets and blankets were full of cigarette burns and stains... we got a non-smoking room and it smelled terrible like smoke. There was trash all over outside of the room. The people outside were very rough.
