2/10 Poor

Key card were not working entire stay. Had to call and wait for 1 person to unlock door. While checking in I was also told I needed to register every person who may visit the room for any length of time.
Donnie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

So their key machine was down, which probably just thrilled the staff to death. However, they were on top of making sure I had access to my room. No inconvenience at all. Great job by everyone to deal with an annoying situation beyond their control
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nothing fancy

Pretty much as expected. Adequate bedroom and bathroom. No extra charge for pets. Room clean, moderate wear of porcelain. Bed firm, pillows good. Very well lit parking with security guard on site at night. Motel 6 is not a resort, but ut wss fune for a night's skeep when traveling.

Nora, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Poor maintenance

The key card machine was broken so we couldn't get a key. The heater didn't work. The flooring was buckled and coming up. It was not very clean. One of the lights was flickering on even though it was switched off.
