This motel 6 should be condemned and torn down worst motel 6 I have ever been in. Most of the people staying there live there people came up to me asking for food. The outside trash had not been dumped for I don't know how long and the cans where nasty. The outside was just nasty cars on jacks being worked on all the outside doors where missing most of the paint. One of the stairways was not usable and had a sign do not use. I also can home with bites from something all over me.

Quick check in.
Very low quality. Door locked but the seal was non existent. Tile floor was filthy. Bathroom was adequate, however a woman wouldnt use the shower. No microwave or trash can. TV turns off by itself. Bed saggy. Many people outside room, looking in while door open. Likely drug transactions going on. Not likely, that happened.

Price close to where I needed to go the next day.
It was kinda dirty. The shower had dirt on the bottom so when you took a shower you were in mud. Old empty soap wrappers laying everywhere. I woke up with a roach crawling on me.

Scary situation..People walking by and looking in our room when we moved in. There was prostitution going on
with men standing outside the doors while it was going on. Alot of people sitting around drinking and doing drugs.
Only luke warm water available. Many people with dogs on leashes and most of them were pitbulls. Felt very unsafe
4.0 / 10.0
was worried about bed bugs, outdated, seems like more people are living there then it being for open traveled. bathroom was kind gross and the water pressure was bad.
3.0 / 10.0
The motel was just off the interstate and close to the places I was visiting.
The room was supposed to be handicap accessible. It was in the second floor. The shower they called roll in was a small corner stall with at least a 5 inch step up. Not to mention the visible dirt and stains throughout the room.
4.0 / 10.0
Inexpensive place to sleep, relatively clean for the price. Nice to find a smoking room. Easy parking.
Tricky to navigate to due to road construction. Bed old, sheets had holes. End unit closest to I-80 was extremely noisy but I got 'some' sleep. Seems to have a lot of long-term residents.
