Cockroaches

COCKROACHES I will make this short and sweet. First room (231) I was put in, had the shower torn apart and water running. Was moved to room 235. The floorboards in the bathroom were squishing with water underneath and mold was up and down the shower. That night I was greeted by a handful of cockroaches in said bathroom. I was then moved to room 237. I was immediately greeted to 6 baby roaches on the sink in the living area. When I brought this forth to Sharon, the manager, she stated she could give me a $30 refund. Not great, but I appreciated her trying. When I got home, there was no refund. I contacted Hotels.com who was wonderful and they reached out to Motel6, who denied any refund. So... cockroach infested, mold, and liars. Don't waste your time or money. Also, there were two large dead roached in the 3rd room and one dead one on the second floor middle of the carpet in the hallway the whole time. Cleaning isn't a thing.
I killed 12 roaches, and saw 3 more I was unable to get because they crawled into the openings near the shower in both rooms

This property put me into a room with a huge crack that was turning into a large hole in the middle of the bottom of the bathtub. Then told me they couldn't switch me to a different room. No coffee or cream and regular sugar.

If there were an option to give minus five stars for the front desk staff, that’s exactly what I would choose. When I arrived at this hotel, exhausted after a long trip, the so-called clerk at the front desk treated me in the rudest way I have ever experienced in my life. He hurled every obscene insult imaginable at me—apparently because I dared to wake him up. On top of that, he told me that he had canceled my reservation, which I made through Expedia.com, entirely on his own initiative without even informing me, simply because he “decided” I wasn’t going to show up. I have never seen service this disgraceful before, and I hope I never will again. I strongly urge hotel management to investigate who was on duty that day and take the strictest possible action. The entire experience was so revolting and disgusting that words can hardly describe it.

Do not stay at this Motel, it’ a health hazardous.

I wouldn’t take a dead dog to this filthy motel I booked two rooms for three nights, after driving 15 hours. We checked in only enough time to see where the rooms were before we unloaded the car, opened my room door and the beds aren’t made, the floors is wet from moisture. My son goes to his room which is next door and there is visible mold all on the walls. We go back to the front desk with pictures to request a refund, the lady at the front desk gives us a refund but only for two days. They trying yo charge us for opening the doors and looking in the room. I should be charging them for the inconvenience. Very poor customer service, oh but I’m not done I will be reporting them!
Beds not fixed, this is how the room was when I opened the door.
Mold on the walls, not just mold black mold
Mold in the cracks in the corner.
Mold in the lines of the ceiling
