First impressions, metal fence with locked security gates! These do not appear in the online photos!!!! Room was spacious, clean, supersized very comfy bed and pillows, fridge, micro, tv, wc and shower, air con, desk with chair, hanging rail, hand basin in main room, usb charging points. Inet in room iffy, drops out frequently, poor signal strength. Daily room service, even on Christmas day, but no shampoo for shower. McD, Arbys and BK very close, also launderette opposite. NO facility to leave bags whilst waiting for transport for a night flight. If you have a night flight, you basically have to go to the airport way too early as you cannot drag your suitcases around for several hours. So on this aspect alone, I would not book this hotel again.

I stayed at this hotel based on the reviews and it had double bed ADA rooms. They were lies. There was a dead roach in the bathroom, the shower head didn't work sprayed water all over the place, the tv remote didn't work, and we couldn't change to another ADA room because the only 1 that was available with everything working only had 1 bed and we needed 2 beds. The other ADA room was a smoking room and that bathroom shower head was broke too. We had to shower in 1 room and go back to our room with the broke remote. Found out from the older maintenance man that it was the tv not the remote and that both these issues would be worked on the next day. I left him know we are checking out 1st thing in the morning and getting my refund that i already prepaid for 4 days. And I'm calling back on Monday morning to speak with a manager to get my 1 night study refunded

WARNING!!!!This motel was by far the nastiest place I have ever stayed. First to start off the manager was very disrespectful me and my husband was coming in town and before we left I called to inform them we were going to be coming way after the check in time I originally reserved for two nights but because of the time we were arriving technically it was the next day so the associate told me it was fine and he only would charge me for one night. The manager tried charging me double and went back and forth with me until my husband intervened needless to say we only paid for one night. The worst part of this whole experience was the room we were in was infested with roaches my husband had reported it to the office they had someone come and spray but it seemed to have gotten worse even to the point my husband found one in his shoe box. Complained to management we get moved to another room not even 5mins in the room we get surprised by Mama Roach!!!!!!!! Unacceptable and this place should truly be exterminated and thoroughly cleaned in my opinion please don't waste your time or money here.

Under no circumstances should you consider staying here. This isn’t me throwing shade at Motel 6 because I’ve stayed in them before and can absolutely handle cheap and cheerful. But this place is not safe. We spent about two minutes in the room and went straight to ask for our money back. Rooms smelled like death, filthy, broken, doors didn’t lock, drug addicts everywhere, blood on the check-in desk, wanted posters covering the wall behind the desk, guests roaming around screaming. Save yourself the bother and absolutely stay away at all costs.

I booked online. Got charged then. Went to check in he took my card. Thought maybe it was for incidentals. Got back to the room and looked on my bank statement Got charged. Went back down there he said he could only refund 20 without manager. But it would get refunded. Later on I checked to see if it was refunded. Found out I had been charged again. Cannot get anyone on the phone to be helpful. They said email then. I am beyond pissed. DO NOT STAY HERE! Could have stayed somewhere much more nicer for this price.

GOOD: I like the location of the hotel, it was on a street where all the corporate stores and food chains where located. It was easy to run to the store if I needed to. BAD: The staff was emotionless and lazy. The outside of the building was littered with trash everywhere. The cleaning staff sat around and clearly did a poor job of cleaning the rooms. I had to go across the street to Walgreens to get household cleaner. My cleaning rag was black from wiping off doors, doorhandles, bathtub, sink and desk. The towels and washrags they give you to use, had old dark stains on them. They were obviously used for cleaning. The worst part is, the bed had bedbugs. I didn't notice until I got home and found 30 bites on my body. A bedbug got into my luggage and I must have had brought it home. I had to have my entire apartment treated. I tried to contact corporate, but the website doesn't load and the email got kicked by gmail.

The rooms were beyond DISGUSTING!!!!!! There were boogers all over the wall next to the bed, the floors were so gross I refused to walk barefoot on them and I don't think the bed comforter had been washed in over a year. Every single thing in that room was dirty. I got home and immediately showered your hotel off of me. There were drug bags in the holders for the towels, so obviously those towel holders have never been cleaned, ever. Oh, speaking of towels, I was allowed 1 shower towel for a THREE day stay. ONE!!!!!! No ice for a day because the machine ran out, great go buy more for your customers. I have never stayed at such a dirty, nasty, repulsive hotel in MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!! The management is non existent as far as help. But I saved the best for last.... The first night of my stay someone was shot and killed outside of room 106 and we were in 208. It happened at appx 3:00am and this can all be verified on Memphis news sites. So if you came to sleep, think again. Not only that but this hotel left that man's BLOOD ALL OVER THE SIDEWALK AND GRASS for 2 days. New people coming to the hotel the next day were walking over it, it was literally the most appalling thing I have ever witnessed. Pics were provided on this review, but I'm unsure if they will post them.

This is an unsafe area. A man was shot at our doorway the first night. Not sure if he lived. Plus, if you book on Booking.com the motel may or may not actually save a room for you. The staff must be traumatized by all the violence in the area but is that an excuse for ignoring reservations?

If this wasn't the WORST motel ever, it's #2. Rude staff, no breakfast, or coffee, noisy. old building. Had to check in from a teller window - not in a lobby. Make sure you're armed in case there's drugs going on next door - like I was.

We were just making a pit stop, therefore it was ok for this purpose, I wouldn't stay there if it's for a family or for tourists. Too many locals staying there and hanging out. One night and that was it, you get what you pay for. Our room was a handicap room so it was pretty decent. The beds were on the soft side but decent. Hopefully they can get rid of the riff raff.
