I wouldn't recommend this establishment to anyone!
Pros:

The price was low.

Cons:

The room was in poor condition. There were cobwebs on the ceiling. The ceiling was peeling. The walls were in rough shape. The mattress was 2-3 inches thick with no foundation and you could feel the springs. The noise from I40 was loud. We have stayed in many Motel 6's before but this was the worst!

Pros:

I did like that all the other ppl there were friendly and most of the staff as well.

Cons:

I didn't like the fact that the dryer took my money and would not replace it. Im extremely upset about the fact my toilet over flowed and when I went and complained about it.They proceeded to hand me a plunger. I explain to them that there was toilet water with p*** and probably some poop in it all over the bathroom floor that I also would do something to clean it with.I'm having to do it myself.She told me they did not have cleaning stuff that someone had borrowed it and not giving it back. So after she seen that I was not satisfied with that answer after me explaining how unsanitary that was and how we still needed a toilet to work , she then sent a housekeeper down to help me plunge it and help me clean it up. I'm\n Sorry, but I paid over $70 a night for that room. I should not have to clean up a toilet overflowing. They should have accommodated me with another room or at least an extra night for free. Considering you made me plunge and clean up the shifty mess myself. I really feel like they should have compensated me in some way to make up for my inconvenience. It made me feel like they thought that I wasn't worthy that I was just some low life staying at the motel because I know that I've seen many places compensate compensate with a free night for way. So it's just like I wasn't as important as other people.00

Pros:

It was convienent for the location, the tile on the floor was cracked, and there was mold in the bathroom, and the tv was like black and white. But it is what it is for the amount you paid.

Cons:

some of the rooms are upgraded and some of the others are not. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

De lo peor
Pros:

Todo lo que necesitas está Serca en ralacion a tiendas y comida .

Cons:

Muy sucio llenos de pelos de animales , ya que aceptan mascotas . Las habitaciones que me tocaron fueron un desastre . A mi esposa le dio alergia por tanto pelo de animales que no se han limpiado bien . En otra habitación el humo de cigarrillo fui insoportable y nos tocó pedir un cambio . A los alrededores está llenos de escrementos de perros

Pros:

check in was easy and they had my reservation. The staff was nice.

Cons:

There was black mold growing on the room ceiling and the shower. The refrigerator had ice choking the freezer portion of the mini fridge and it was discolored. It took an hour to get the room keys and door lock to work. The rooms facing the interstate echoed every passing vehicle noise making sleep difficult.

Cons:

All of it

Beds are a little stiff, but other than that it was pretty comfy
Pros:

Easy and quick check in, staff was very kind

Cons:

I probably saw 2 roaches, which, isn’t a huge deal considering most places even peoples homes have a roach every now and then
