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.

Blankets thin and noise

Check in and check out was quick and easy. Bed blankets were very thin. Noise outside room from other hotel guests talking during night hours was loud and prevented sleep.

Poor service

I checked in on Friday, June 27. First the tv wasn't working. I called front desk and they said no maintenance person till Saturday and then mold in the shower. No maintenance came Saturday to work on the tv so we had no tv from Friday to Sunday when we checked out.

Cheap room, cheap amenities

I was here for 5 nights. Ice machine broken the whole week. The AC/heat unit in the room did not work. No tissue paper in room. Bath tub had multiple patch jobs on it. When I asked for new towels, they had me go to their laundry room and get it myself. A few good things, they had a security guard at night. Inexpensive room. Gave out a parking pass to make sure you were staying there.
