Motel 6 said they couldn't find our expedia reservation. Despite having called the hotel directly the morning of my reservation to confirm the reservation. 10 hours later they suddenly couldn't find the reservation. The hotel was sketchy. Hotel lobby was dirty.

If you get a room on the front of the property, the noise from the interstate is terrible. Overall it is not well kept and seems to be kind of sketchy. I try to only stay there when I need cheap.

Don’t do it!
This hotel did not honor the price that Hotels.com gave, even though I showed them the price reflected on the reservation I was charged full price and was refused the refund. I have never experienced this before when I booked with hotels.com for any other hotel. Customer service sucks at this hotel and I don’t care how much of a budget I’m on I will never stay at here again. Save yourself the trouble and just don’t stay here.

Basic place to shower & sleep
The place is outdated but figured you get what you pay for when trying to save money. Ended up extending my stay in the same room but when I went back to the room later in the evening all of my stuff was gone from the room and was advised there was nothing they could do until morning. I did get the majority of my stuff returned but several items were still missing and they couldn’t find them so assuming they were thrown away. This was a first as I’ve not had this issue before.

Typical Hotel 6.
It is what it is. If you expect a Hotel 6 to be some luxurious place to stay, you might want to rethink a lot of things. It was old and run down, basically a typical Hotel 6. I was only in the room for about 8 hours. The bed was average, no one broke into my room, and the shower had hot water.

I have stayed here a few times, when times are tight and it is the lowest cost option. The noise from the Interstate is ridiculous ! There are three motels clustered in the same area, and the entrance/exit suck. Bottom line, if you need shelter to recharge, cleanup, etc, it is ok. If you are traveling with any kind of enjoyment etc, in mind, spend the money, or time, or what ever, and move on !

Urine on toilets
There was urine all over the toilet upon check in. The floor was dirty, even after I wiped it, I only wiped because the chlorine smell was toxic. The sink had old soap on it. Soap bar was left. Sam at front desk had me look at another room. I was originally placed in room #56. I believe we looked directly behind same building for next room. I came in with latex gloves on and showed Sam more urine left on new room. He agreed to refund all costs and we left.

Very disappointing 😞 😕
This hotel had every trash can outside full of stuff and over flowing trash all over the ground. Animal droppings all over the parking lot. Someone left a chicken from the store out the ground outside. The shower head in our room and our daughters room was covered in something. The light fixture in the shower room 256 was missing screws. Burn marks on the curtain and bed ( even with it being a smoke free room ) bed made noises with every movement. Paint was peeling from room doors Laundry room floor had socks and lent everywhere. Kids running back and worth along front walk way. Parking was not cool they had people that had thier business vehicles taking up spots. Cigarette butts all over the ground

Not even worthy of 1 star
Shower had mysterious brown stains, dead insects on the wall, and towels that were paper thin, too small, and had multiple holes in them. Lots of trash laying around in the common areas and the stairs looked borderline usable. I asked about fresh towels and was told I had to bring my old towels down to their laundry to get new ones. Location looks near freeway but takes a little zig zagging to get to. Trying to come with any redeeming qualities but coming up empty. It was so bad, I thought I was staying in Orlando for a couple of days. If I could rate this place 2 points of one star, I would.
