Bad hotel no clean bad smells

The hotel is not clean, it smells like dog throughout the hotel. After my stay, my clothes and those of my entire family smelled like dog. From the entrance to the room, it smells like dog and weed. It is not good for my family or anyone else. I do not recommend choosing this hotel when making your choices. It is very bad.

It is what it si

The hotel looks like they just gave up.hallways had bits of trash everywhere.the nicest part of the room was the TV and TV's are cheap.to be fair I could of looked past most of this but the room was 93$ for the night. Honestly if it is just me I don't care to much but I would not recommend it to a a female loved one travelling solo.prob nothing happens but it just seems a little seedy

Motel 6 was what we expected. We got what we paid for, maybe a bit less, but it was fine for a night travelling through. The hallways were dirty and smelly, and our room smelled like weed and cigarettes. The room was fairly clean and the bed was fine but there was no noise proofing from the hallway. Staff were nice enough but no room service (even for towels).

While the AC/heat functioned well and the room appeared clean (aside from a noticeable musky smell present for our entire Friday-Monday stay), there were significant drawbacks. The provided TV remote was visibly dirty. The elevator did not work our entire stay so would not recommend for those who cannot do stairs. The lack of full-size bath towels was a major inconvenience. Despite our requests to the front desk, we were only offered hand towels and washcloths, which were inadequate for drying after showering. This negatively impacted our comfort. On the positive side, the bed was fine, parking was convenient, and this motel is welcoming to dogs (one of the few without a fee). The AC unit also provided good white noise, effectively blocking outside noise.

The fire alarm went off at 7pm. Then the front desk called me at 10:30pm asking if I had an extra key for my room. I was in bed asleep because I had a race the next morning. Then, there were people running up and down the halls yelling things with the intention of waking people up.

budget hotel. room was clean but hallways smelled of marijuana. There was also a group of guests smoking cigarettes and marijuana 25 feet from the front door; well less than the sign on the front door that says cigarette smoking is not permitted by law within 50 feet of a store entrance. this made for an uncomfortable introduction to the property.

Homeless live here.

Diane the GM is just simply AMAZING. She has went above and beyond for us. She's a breath of fresh air. That's why I always make sure she has fresh flowers at the front desk. And have so much respect for her. Also Amanda the Supervisor is the best and Umde the front desk receptionist. Let's not forget about Trey he's in charge of laundry one of the biggest and most important jobs there. He makes sure I get the best towels and clean one daily and sheets as well. Kudos Trey! Hes definitely OFFICIAL. And Don't know the house keeping guys name but I call him Costa Rico bc that's where he's from. And last but not least about our to Ben and Mike good job gentlemen. Diane's crew she always has their back no matter what and looks out for them. She actually really does care about her employees which is very rare in 2025
