Love their pet policy.
Staff was very nice and understanding, I lock myself out of the room 5 minutes into my stay. lol It was just an overnight stay, but very pleasant, room was clean with a microwave and a large refrigerator, not a camping size. Love their pet policy. Will stay again!

Bad choice
Room not clean. Door would lock from the inside, but would not when leaving the room. We reported the lock and were told “they would look into it”.

I like that it was a room available at that time since I had to get off the road from traveling all day. I didnt like that the two rooms i got wasn't cleaned, especially the bathrooms in both rooms and the beds. We literally slept with our clothes on and didn't get much sleep and checked out at 4:30 am instead of 11 am because we wasnt comfortable

We had someone try to get in our room because office staff had given them our room key. There was dirty food trays under the beds. Got no sleep because at 1:30AM the neighbors decided to throw a fiesta. Then at 5AM, a woman started screaming at the top of her lungs and the cops were called. We felt unsafe and will never stay at a Motel 6 again.

Door latch ripped off. Phone ripped out of wall with bare wires. No hot water. No shampoo. TV did not work, Creepy guy staring at us any time we left the room. Odor of marijuana prevalent. Litter in exterior areas, including crushed beer cans. Other than that, it was fine.

Dirty and uncleaned sheets
When i pulled my comforter back, I noticed that there were dog paw prints on my sheet. I am not posting them here because they would be difficult to see in a re posted pic. Either they were not bleached and checked or they were not even cleaned to begin with. This is a very negative thing for a motel.
