Motel 6

For a spot sandwiched between the interstate and the frontage road, Motel 6 is surprisingly hard to find without a GPS or calling for directions. The sign is totally faded and easy to miss.
No shampoo, no lotion, no iron — not just in the room but no irons available in the whole motel! Had to run to Wal Mart to buy/​return one. No breakfast. The front desk guy called me ‘my good man’ at least 6 times in our 5 minute interaction, and no, he’s not British.
The room is fine but outdated, poorly arranged (hard to see TV from couch or bed), and features not-​so-​mysterious splotchy stains on the carpet and furniture. They left the masking tape on the bathroom from the last ceiling paint job.
Don’t stay here.

Stayed here for two weeks at the end of June to early July. Many of the staff were great, and the Motel seemed very clean overall. However, we had a little inside info about bed bug problems on the uppermost third floor. However, in the middle of the stay, a couple in the room next door to ours (on the ground floor), found out theirs was infested, as well. As I understand it, the managers notified the property owners (for each problem, dating back months) and the owners continue to neglect taking the proper action to eradicate the bed bugs.
Also, some of the staff at the front desk can be cold, rude, or too busy with personal stuff, so be prepared to deal with that, should you decide to take a chance on the bugs.
