Thankfully, the bedsheets were clean except for the stray hair. The motel is occupied by permanent residence who are coming and going at all hours with sketchy looking people loitering about. Walls are paper sin and you can hear conversations from every direction. The towels were dirty. Being the cheapest option around you certainly get what you pay for but honestly anything more than $50 is too much for this motel. For a few dollars more I’m sure you’re overnight experience will be a lot better at Motel 6 and I recommend doing so. Not a place to bring your family.

The place was nice and clean. I was expecting my security deposit back and I did not receive it cause I was charged for some towels and bed sheet that was stained $225 dollars not fair! Even tho we fixed the broken handle on the stove and our door went bad since the fridge didn't keep our food cold enough. I did not want to complain cause I really they wasn't gonna play me with my deposit but that was very unfair all of that comes off in the wash I'm sure
