⭐️ Worst Motel Experience Ever ⭐️

I have stayed in many motels, but Motel 6 was by far the worst experience I have ever had. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that this place was completely unprofessional and poorly managed. 🔴 Extremely Dirty – The room was filthy, with stains everywhere and a terrible smell that lingered throughout the building. 🔴 Reeked of Marijuana – The entire motel had a strong marijuana odor, making it impossible to breathe fresh air. 🔴 Noisy & Unsafe – Strange people were constantly hanging around, making noise all night. I did not feel safe staying there. 🔴 Terrible Customer Service – The staff seemed indifferent and unprofessional, showing no concern for the guests' comfort. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Spend your money elsewhere—this place is not worth it! 🚫👎
