Clean for a motel 6 just a lot of stains on things and weird marks on the walls. Pretty much exactly what you’d expect for a motel 6
We stay at Motel6 most of time on our crosscountry trip, because our dog always stays for free which is a big plus. I can tell this motel owner cares about the environment around the building, the yard seems clean and well maintained. The bedding and bathroom were clean; however, I noticed the room smelled like "vomit", but I didn't find any debris which was good, not sure where that smell came from. AC works well and I found the bed-side lamps to be too bright, so I covered it with my scarf to "dim" the brightness. Overall, we had a goodnight stay.

The room was very small. The beds are doubles not queens. The linen was clean but overall the whole room was a little dingy. The night clerk was very friendly, though. We will not be returning.

Room was clean, Dominos Pizza across the road was really handy and delicious. The lady at the front counter was nice.
Nice comfortable room, no problems.
Motel did require a $20 deposit at check-in, even though the room was pre-paid. It was refunded in the morning with no problems, though.
The room is terrible specially with the cleaner i take a pictures look like the not really clean find a trash of paper pills at the floor and by side of bed something look rests of weed the bathroom with hair on the shower was really critical
Over all not to bad. Will give it a 5 star. Was for a solo, in for work. Cheap, probably cheapest one around. Clean. Minimal interaction with check in, but over all not to bad.
Better than last stay; however, I wish housekeeping would have not been so loud in the morning, yelling across the way. If you want to sleep in, make sure you tape a sign that says, "Do not disturb" because they will knock on your door and wake you up!
Got the room for 3 days 2 nights, and housekeeping came and knocked we did not answer the door we were asleep(husband was working nights) , they came back a second time nd i got up to check who it was, and it was them again, when i was about to open door they had already opened it. Mind you i have my 3 yr old with me and she was scared to dead.

Room was just okay. But they gave me a Handicapped Room. I Hate HANDICAP ROOMS.
The only good thing about the room was Excellent Air conditioning and NO SOFT WATER.
It was clean enough. The bed wasn't very comfortable.
Stayed here as one of 5 in a row of "budget" stays on a road trip. This was by far the dirtiest room I stayed in - maybe ever. Nicotine seeping from the dirty walls, food splattered in front of microwave, dead bugs, plus unidentifiable gunk & chunks in the air condtioner. The best thing I can say about it was that the sheets were clean - but I was glad to move on.
The young woman at the front desk was charming and helpful - but I doubt she runs the place.
I paid for a king, reserved a king, but when I got there, all they had was a double bed room is what they said. At 9:42 the next day, they kept knocking on our door. DID NOT APPRECIATE THAT SINCE WE DIDNT HAVE TO BE OUT UNTIL 11:00
