You can’t expect much when you’re staying at a motel six however the entire facility smelled of smoke and every night there were people running up and down the hall, screaming and yelling from 11 PM all the way through 4 AM. Earlier in the evening, I asked the management to ask the neighbors next-door to turn the music down and she asked me if I thought it was loud and went into the same room so clearly She was part of the problem. Also, they never cleaned our room. I had to ask for extra towels and the towels looked like hand towels, not bath towel towels that you would dry off with. I made a mistake and booked for the wrong weekend and this is what I got, but I would absolutely never stay here again.

Mold on the bathroom wall. Looked like peeling paint on the shower floor and mold so did not use. The bedroom walls looked like smeared poop, bugars and unknown substance. Cockroach in the bathroom.

It was ok overall

It's a motel 6 I wasn't expecting anything over the top but the room was dirty, it was given a landlord special on so called remodeling of the rooms. It had a funky smell that of old smoke mixed with mold. The bed was comfortable and AC worked with no problem. No iron, no shampoo or conditioner. Microwave and fridge in room.

Just NO

Glad we were only there overnight!!! The bathroom was gross, we actually got up in the morning and just said we’d wait to het home to shower. I used an extra shirt to dry off when I washed my face and teeth because the towels provided seemed anything but clean. The wall was peeling off inside the shower and there was visible mold. Bed appeared borderline clean. Like washed in sub-standard machine with double generic detergent.

Not great

Not great. Friendly enough, but room was not very clean. Mold in bathroom. Dust and dirt on floors especially bathroom corners. Room was extremely small. Police called during night, huge commotion outside kept us awake. Don’t recommend.

I have never stayed in such a filthy room. Dirt everywhere. Sticky surfaces and unidentifiable smears . AC unit was so covered in dust, mold, and insect feces that we slept with the window wide open (despite not having a screen) instead of using it. All our belongings have a terrible smell after just one night. I would have changed hotels if the whole city wasn’t booked.

Filth hole

We ended up getting a refund and leaving. It was the dirtiest place, people live in the rooms and bugs everywhere. We were in town for family weekend at ISU and this was the only place left when we looked for rooms. They also have a huge screen with in room cameras showing in the office. Terrible. Gross. Do not stay here.

The most disgusting hotel I have ever been in. This property and their management are stealing from anyone who rents rooms here. My room was filled with roaches and spiders. The sheets were filled with semen and blood stains. The comforter had hair on it. I had checked in earlier in the day to ensure I had not lost the room due to high occupancy in the area. Unfortunately I had not actually gone into the room till much later. When I entered the roaches scattered across the room. Upon further inspection of the bed, I found it to be a hazmat situation. I was not in the room for more than 10 minutes before I went to the front desk to check out. The front desk clerk asked for photos. She then for some reason went to the room to, I guess verify my claim. She came back with a guy would said they would not refund me. Claiming I had used the room and I was responsible for it's condition. This was absolutely absurd and was flat out wrong. Not only are these room unsanitary, they don't even have fire alarms which should immediately be cause for this hotel to close. It's a shame that Motel 6 would allow for this operator to operate on their behalf. Travelocity should kick this hotel off their list of hotels they sell on behalf.
