My door to the room locked me out. They offer to room move me and wait for matinees which don’t arrive until the following day. I called the service line. They wouldn’t help Finally the front desk agent offered bolt cutters. I said great. Then he tells me I have to pay for the lock. That’s not right. D- pro-pert Rooms smells of bug spray. I’ll never stay at any motel 6 again. My standards were not high.

First the positives…. Easy check in with nice staff. Also, the outside of the motel is very well lit, which is a good thing because this motel is in a sketchy area! Floors were bad, sink had no counter space, and room had no closet. Need and pillows were ok. Lots of people “live” at this motel… hanging around, dogs barking etc. The side by check in has a security guard. Probably best to stay on that side if you decide to stay here. I don’t think a single woman would feel safe here.

Pretty ok. Floor was pretty grungy and my sink was painted over, but the sheets were clean and there weren’t bugs. Staff is very great with customer service and very friendly which is hard to come by with hotel staff these days. They happily accommodated my request to check in very early with a few. The downside was that I had to be in a 2nd floor room. There was a very strong odor in the room as if it used to be a smoking room and needed to be aired out. It got all over my belongings and made my stuff stink.
