Simple, convenient, affordable.
Pros:

This motel is exactly as advertised. You get what you pay for: a clean room, bed and shower. The place is decent for a one night stay. The room smelled amazing and clean. Sheets and pillows were clean as well. Location is only 5 minutes from the airport and 5-10 minutes from downtown. Lyft and Uber are inexpensive and great options for the day, however after 12am there will be no drivers able.

Cons:

Housekeeping is a lil rude and standoffish.

DO NOT STAY HERE!
Pros:

Absolutely nothing! The staff disregarded my concerns and no returned calls.

Cons:

The room had blood on the floor, wall and AC unit. I immediately checked out and asked to be contacted, asked for a refund and was told I need to call the Gerald manager on Monday. Come Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, called and let the phone ring for 5 minutes with no answer. I emailed booking.com who also attempted to contact motel 6 with no luck. When I told them of the room situation, they disregarded the concerns and asked what I wanted to do. This was a horrible experience! Lord knows what happened in that room and they showed no concern to even look for themselves.

Very disappointed and dissatisfied
Pros:

Day desk person was nice. Tried to smil a even though there was 5 other peopl a complaining when I was.

Cons:

I was tired after I lo g trip to Boston. Didn't check the room when I went in. There was cleaning supplies left in the bathroom. Someone else's clothes in a stand. Fake fingernails on the floor. Stains on the sheets. Brown filth under aink on floor.When I was loading my car, there was blood down the hall and out through the lobby. I mentioned it to the day person. A lady complained that it was down the hall on the 2nd floor too. I couldn't talk to a .manager because one wasn't there. Left my number and Noone even called me.. I would never recommend thus place to anyone nor will I ever stay there again.

Paid way too much for a nasty room.
Pros:

Plenty of parking.

Lots of loitering outside. Dogs barking ….elevator did not work….. booked for two days on my second day. I slept in my truck instead of in the room.

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.
