Will never book again.

While the price point reflects a budget-friendly option, my experience did not meet even basic expectations. The photos on the website are misleading and do not accurately represent the condition of the room. Upon arrival, the room was noticeably unclean, with visible mold in the shower—an immediate concern for hygiene and safety. Additionally, the television was non-functional, displaying only a single infomercial channel in Spanish, and could not be changed. The air conditioning was also inadequate; although the unit indicated it could go as low as 60°F, the room never cooled below 75°F, making for an uncomfortable stay. Overall, while I did not expect luxury accommodations, a minimum standard of cleanliness and basic amenities functioning as advertised would have made a significant difference.

Quick overnighter.

We got to the hotel at 2:30 hoping to snag a room early. Luckily the very nice lady at the desk said ours wasnt, but she did have one we could take. Great!! Check in was smooth, no issues. Got to the room and it wreaked horribly bad of whatever cleaner had been used. As if i had been dumped on every surface. Room was clean, beds made. None of the plugs in the bathroom worked. No clue where the tv remote was. Very noisy location, upstairs guest ran laps all night and early am there was a ton of people outside of the room talking very loudly.

Wasn’t up to typical Motel 6 standards. We had two rooms. One was decent, the second was in very poor condition. There was a graffiti plexiglass window right outside the door. Light fixture over the bed appeared to be hanging and not secured properly to the ceiling. Both nightstands had unsightly damage on them. Air conditioner was noisy/rattly as well as the fan in the restroom. I can’t speak on all the rooms, but this room definitely needs an overhaul. Surprised it would be rented in the condition it was in honestly. Check-in experience wasn't the best either. I booked and paid for both rooms. My cousin unfortunately misplaced his ID in route and they wouldn't allow us to check-in to the second room. Expedia called directly and still they were resistant. Had to have a relative come over with their ID to checkin to the second room. Icing on the cake, my aunt and her daughter booked at the Hyatt on the same date. My aunt had booked and paid for both rooms, checked in for both and was given keys for both and her daughter hadn't arrived yet! Finding this out made this experience all the more frustrating.
