Lesson learned
Pros:

The only redeeming quality this place had was that it was close to the mall.

Cons:

The bed frame was broken and felt like it would collapse if you moved too much, the mattress itself felt like a slab of concrete. Everything just felt very run down and dirty, I think I would have been better off sleeping in my car. I was also harassed walking to my car by people just hanging around outside of the hotel which was very intimidating traveling as a solo woman. Even at the low cost it was not worth staying here and I will definitely not be returning to this location.

Terrible, never coming back. Guy was nice though!
Pros:

The man at the front desk was very nice! That's it.

Cons:

The place itself is extremely trashy, unclean, every single thing about it was uncomfortable or concerning. No toiletries in the bathroom, smells of heavy smoke/weed, stains everywhere, people clearly doing drugs there. I'm not trying to be mean, but holy crap it was a nightmare.

Sketchy
Cons:

Holes in the walls and bathroom door. Sketchy as hell. Loud at night and the room smelled like smoke. Front desk staff was ok and the other guests were pretty nice though.

Una mala experiencia en el alojamiento
Cons:

Nada que ver con la publicación, empezando con las personas consumiendo drogas a al rededores y en la entrada al hotel demasiado sucio , mucha basura por todos lados las sábanas de la cama oliendo a cigarrillo y residuos de marihuana en las ventanas y en las mesas de noche el baño totalmente sucio

Disgusting conditions in the common areas and parking lot
Pros:

The price

Cons:

It was the dirtiest place I have ever checked into . I have stayed in some dives but this was the worst . I checked out 10 minutes after I checked in . I wasn’t expecting much based on the price but usually Motel 6’s are at least clean

Needs to finish remodeling
Cons:

Appearance was not good, people were of like drugged and recovering alcoholics. Felt like a homeless building. It was of unpleasant oders. We didn't stay. I tried canceling but it was non refundable.

Pros:

It was next to the funeral home.

Cons:

I booked a room with 2 full sized beds and was downgraded to a room with 1 bed. No warning and being sold out in the area, couldn't find another hotel.

Request refund please
Pros:

The price

Cons:

The whole place was very filthy. I had roaches in my room. The window didn't lock. There was a stick that held it in place. Paint over mold in the bathroom. The hall made me feel like I was in a saw movie. Lots of people in the parking lot drinking and playing loud music. I got cat called twice while walking in and then followed because I didn't give them money. I only stayed 6hours and then I left. I had to call off for the night because I was not going to leave my dog there alone. I was suppose to stay there for 2 days. I definitely would like a refund. I didn't feel safe and it got worse the longer I stayed.
