Arrived to the hotel got checked in. The toilet set was broken and when I complained to management. I was offered another room it was nasty. When I asked the night manager what would be done to remedy the situation I was told that I would have to speak to the morning management. When she arrived she refused to even speak with me. The room also smelled like marijuana. My husband almost got hurt trying to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. I feel like I was ripped off off. This property is makings Expedia look bad. Also there is a $50 room deposit and I don't want to be charged for anything I didn't break. At this point I don't feel that thhe hotel can be trusted to even return my deposit. I asked for a receipt and was told I had go on-line and print it.

Don’t do it. We drove up, property looks very run down. Got to the room, checked it out- lifted sheets it was clear they had not been changed after the last visit- new blood stain, black curly hairs, dirt, make up stains on pillow. The air conditioner was leaking inside the room. We are waiting for our money to be refunded as we didn’t stay it was so bad. We’ve never stayed at Motel 6 and we will never will again.

The room was to be non-smoking, but reeked of stale cigarettes upon arrival. There were no toiletries offered, aside from a single bar of soap. The water pressure in the shower was non-existent. The only plus side to the stay, was the close proximity to the event that brought us to the area. This location will be filed as ABSOLUTE LAST RESORT ONLY in my travel log.

Smelled like straight cigarettes. The door to the bathroom barely shuts. The tub was not clean and the towels were stained. The headboard was disconnecting from the wall and paint was chipping.
