We don't mind simple and plain but we do expect clean.
The floors were sticky and our shoes made sticky, squelching sounds when we walked. When we picked up the washcloth off the counter, there was a roach inside. The bathroom had brown something on the lid of the toilet and on the floor in front of it. We are going to assume it was mud because we don't want to think about it. And we're not going to ask what all the stuff smeared on the walls of the bathroom was either. Seriously, it was just gross.
We don't mind basic and didn't expect luxury in a Motel 6 but we did expect clean. The room was simple and they did have new modern furniture and flooring that was nice, but dirty. For those traveling, they do not provide the small shampoo and conditioner nor do they have the attached hairdryers. You find these in most hotels now a days so I didn't think to bring these items. If you are traveling to the Motel 6 in Lafayette, be sure to bring your shampoo/conditioner. As this was an economy hotel and one of the only rooms available during college graduation, I did not expect luxury and did not have a problem with the simplicity of the room. Is it the bare minimum.
The bedspreads were still from the 1970's complete with cigarette burns and the room reeked of stale, old smoke.
I am surprise that they had newish furniture and flooring but the bedspreads were so dated. Not a big deal except the cigarette burns, both large and small, were a bit ridiculous.
