The location. Property is very run down. The very bare minimum in the room. Hugh gap (2 inches) under the room door. We had to stuff towels under it to keep out bugs and whatever. Very noisy. We don't recommend this place.

Rented 2 adjoining rooms for my mom, myself and 3 kids. Perfection. Enough space for everybody to relax and not feel on top of each other. The staff were helpful and efficient.

There was burn holes in the tables and blankets, the fire detector was ripped out the wall so that made us feel very much unsafe.. there was a gap under the door. Had to get moved into a different room because the TV wasn't working

Only gripe I really have is I had to purchase a new tire because of the pot holes in the parking lot. Other than that the staff was great and it was a place to sleep. (:

Facility was housing people down on there luck if you know what I mean. Drink machines were empty, one washer was broken, and half was under repair. The room smelled horrible, stains on table, some lights did not work, but bed was clean. I more than likely would not stay again. I spent 65 for the room so I got what I paid for which was a place to sleep.

They removed the safety lock from the door. The shower was so low, I had to bend over to wash my armpits. The parking lot was filthy and the s.oke detector was hanging open with the battery slot empty. ANY movement on the bed was a high pitched squeak for both beds and I have slept on floors more comfortable.

When you first arrive, the area might seem a little sketchy, but once you step inside, speak with the staff, and get settled into your room, you’ll find it’s much better than it appears. My only minor issue was that the bottom of the door in my room could use a proper seal. Aside from that, I really enjoyed my stay while visiting for the Dreamville Festival 2025. Everything went smoothly, and if this were my only available option for lodging during the festival again, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here. The neighborhood might look a bit rough at first glance, but it’s not bad at all. I truly appreciated the friendly and helpful staff.

Very rundown there was boogers all over the wall. The baseboards are absolutely disgusting. There was cigarette butts underneath the entertainment center. There was a hairball in the AC unit. I never got fresh towel. I didn’t ask for any. I had to take the microwave off of the refrigerator and put it on the dresser so we could plug-in. The AC kept making a loud rattling sound. My room did not come as I ordered. I asked for one queen bed. I got two beds it showed. I had a bathtub. I had a handicap shower. The staff was very nice.

It was run down. Need to close. It was dirty smell horrible. Just like a nightmare. Dont know how they pass inspection . Dont go there you will be very very disappointed. I waste of time.

The owner price gouging customers ! And housekeeping puts there bodies and layndry basket right in your walk_way making it hard for people to leave ! And the owner has bipolor issues! He refused to give me my change after paying 65 bucks from my bank account. I gave him 20 bucks cash and he refused my change plus receipt for my payment! Roo. Heater does not work also plus mic and refrigerator does not get cold also! ! Muce issues in this building also very scary and unsafe place to stay!
- 3/5
The price online was budget-friendly and it's great that the brand doesn't charge for pet fees. However, the room does need maintenence or a deep clean. The smells got into the room, there was mold on the curtains and some dark spots on the ceiling, one roach seen inside that I killed. I did have a nice experience ordering food in and sharing with the pups before a movie; the location is convenient to shopping and the interstate. I would have liked more towels and a better maintained space sans most of those smells. Soaps didn't seem to be for me/my skin either. Overall some very memorably positive moments inside some less than desirable conditions.

I had an unknown person banging at my door once at midnight and another time at 4am. They left before police arrived, they were actually attempting to break into my room. I reported it to front desk and they couldn’t have cared less and offered no type of consolation for what happened.

It served the purpose for my visit for 1 night and that was for pets being allowed and conveient travel to stadium with ease. My only concern was the dog area had accessive amount of 💩 not being picked up. Other than that, thank you!

Typical of a Motel 6. Decor nothing to right home about, the lights along the bed didn't work, so no sitting in bed reading. Place is in need of some maintenance, upgrading.

I live 2.5 hours from RDU and had a late flight so I booked a room here. Arrived at 11PM and left as 2:30AM and drove home. Room stunk, shower was filthy, people hanging out in the hallways. I will never stay here again, yuck. I will do my best to never stay at a place like this again.

Absolutely distrusting. Roaches and weird stains all over the room. The bathroom looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. We had 3 people in the room, it said so when we booked the room, and they gave us two towels. we went to the lobby to ask for more and they said we had to turn in the old towels to get any new ones. All of the towels had weird stains and so did the sheets.

It was great to find a last minute room that was pet-friendly. The room was basic, but comfortable for what was needed. The neighbors were a little noisy at first, but once we were asleep it didnt matter.

The 1st room I was in the refrigerator did not work. They moved to another room and had me place towels on the floor to clean up the mess from the broken fridge. The second room, the sheets were soiled and there was a ton of black flies. Every day I had to go down to the front desk to get my key activated because it didn't work. No apologies offered at all. Horrible place.

Just about every time I go up there’s a discrepancy between the hotel and the app I RESERVED a room for 1 bed when I go to check in there sold out and I was told to pay extra for a 2 bed why are they taking money and rooms are sold out but I gotta wait 24 hrs to get my money back

They need more than 2 spaces for handicapped parking. One of those has been set up for eelectric vehicles. This makes it quite difficult for those who, like myself, are indeed unable to walk without the aid of a walker or some other type of assistance. I have mentioned this in previous surveys about my stays. This time there was a lot of loud talking, running and other noise and it was almost impossible to sleep thru the night. I did make a mistake on the date of my checkout and they were very understanding.
- 4/5
I've stayed there before. I did make a mistake on what day I was to check out; other than them banging on my door, calling my phone and having something very loud come and stand outside my door this was a nice stay. There was quite a bit of noise from people running back and forth either on my floor or the one above and it made sleeping difficult. As I stated in my last review, there are still only 2 handicapped parking spaces and one has been converted to accommodate electric vehicles. Otherwise, I was quite satisfied with my stay.

Everything was clean and orderly. The office was well laid out. The only issue I had was finding parking on the back side of the motel where my room was. I am disabled and, in addition to that, I have a stress fracture in my rt foot that I am currently wearing a "boot" on.....I had to pull up on the curb one night to park anywhere within walking distance of my room. There was plenty of parking on the front side of the motel, but I am/was unable to walk that far.

When I arrived, the front desk person was not welcoming. The smoking room had no ash trays. The bathroom tub was dirty. A roach came running out from under the table. The room was plain. No cups, kleenex, no soap. Nothing you expect from a motel. The only thing I could rate a 5 on, was the air conditioning was working. I would never recommend that particular Motel 6.
