Disliked: Amenities
The amount of what I paid for $ 214 is way too overpriced. Property is not good condition air conditioning did not work. I got $ 15 percent back to compensate air conditioning. That'was the only choice. The bathroom it had mold . This is more like $ 100 for value. No I won't recommend this property

I reserved a non smoking room. Walked into our room & there was an ashtray with a bad smell. I called to confirmed with office about my booking. Reception said they leave ashtrays for those who choose to smoke & not able to move us. The air-conditioning buttons were missing and didnt cool the room. There were what looked like shoe stains on the sheets. There is no seal to the bottom of the front door you can see all the light and hear all the noises outside. Tried to cancel my booking with office and was told since housekeeping had already left they would have to still charge me if I decided not to stay because we had already been in the room for 30 minutes.

When we went to check in they couldn't find our reservation from my name. Then when they pulled up our confirmation number it has someone else's name on it. If it wasn't for my husband getting stern with them I'm not sure they would have honored my proof of our reservation. When we went back to get our key we overheard other people having the same issues we did. They really need to fix their system with this.

low cost low reward - functional and sparse

The room was clean while sparse. The amenities were minimal. This was expected as it's a low cost motel. The building itself is in rough shape. The drapes were dangling off, the window was old and beat up as was the door which didn't seal shut - light comes in around the door. The shower mostly worked but the handle for the water valve needed to be forced through some stuck points.

No thanks once is enough

I haven't checked into a hotel/motel that offers one pillow per guest with no tissues, no small shampoo and three towels only for 4 guests. The beds were hard, squeaky and old. I would expect Motel 6 regular rate for what I paid but because it was a holiday weekend I spent triple that for the same horrid experience. I would say you get what you pay for but not in this circumstance, as we got far far less.
