I booked for La Quinta, so I was very confused as to why it lead me to a motel 6. After 10 minutes when someone came out to greet me, I asked “is this supposed to be for La Quinta” he responded with “Any pets” and proceeded the check in process. The lobby smelled like food, and both elevator and room reeked of urine. The room was gutted out except for a bed, night stand and tv. Didn’t look like the pictures. So 12 feet of emptyness made it very hard for the room to cool down to 68 from 80. Kept it on high the whole night and still woke up semi cool. Didn’t need any covers. Rodents in the restroom. I would use the excuse that you get what you pay for. But I had a way better experience right across the street for same price. Only gave 2 stars because I didn’t die.

Horrible
This stay was horrible when I arrived the front desk attendant didn’t greet me at all. He didn’t explwhere my room was I had to find it myself. Then when I got to the room there was a trash can under the sink because the sink was leaking when I turned on the faucet. My second couldn’t get into the room because the front desk guy was being rude and wouldn’t let them in it was an all together horrible experience.

Never again for any Motel 6
Everything about this one is dirty, and the said to be owner doesn't care about the property nor the customer's. The place need an inspection date. Don't waste your vaction here, you will be sorry the moment you drive up, then very disappointed once you walk into the lobby. The room I had for the moment was a view of a dirty pool. So, if you had room 207 on Tuesday evening. You got a clean room because i cleaned it, then was put out over front desk giving me a roll of toilet paper. ALSO, they won't let me add the pictures, I guess because it's going to make hotel.com look bad to.

I have stayed in some cheap hotels before, but have never felt the need to leave like I did with this one. The smell was the first thing I noticed. Strong urine odour in the room, so I checked the air conditioner/heater, and there was mould through it and it appeared that someone had peed in it. There were brown stains all over the wall including some spots of dried blood. There were clumps of hair on the floor as if someone had gotten a haircut but didn't sleep the edges. Many hairs in the sheets and I don't even want to think about how dirty the mattress cover was (I was too afraid to look at the mattress itself). We quickly left and went to another hotel nearby. The staff member at the front desk didn't even seem surprised. He had just arrived on shift to an empty front desk as apparently his colleague (who had checked us in) had just left before he arrived. He was nice enough but the person who checked us in barely said a word and walked away when we were trying to ask a question about having something delivered. I glanced into the room that was supposed to be the gym but it was just pieces of equipment scattered around with tape around them (not operational). Would give less than 0 if it was possible.
