Listen, I love Motel 6's not only for the price, but I like being able to pull my car right up to my hotel room door. But not all Motel 6's are equal. I expect and do not criticize Motel 6's to be a little worn, maybe with missing towel racks and cigarette burns in the bed cover. But the reason I rated the Motel 6 in St. Joseph lower is because they seem to be housing homeless or low-income people. I do not have a problem with helping the less fortunate, but the room was not very clean, the flooring was broken and loose, and the folks next door smoked, so my room smelled like smoke. The floor was filthy. There was constant noise from the other inhabitants, and while I like dogs, theirs whined when left alone for the day. Perhaps the management should segregate their populations. There was a long hair and what looked like shampoo blobs left in the bathtub, and when I used the one washcloth provided to wipe it down, I discovered the washcloth had brown stains. If I stayed there again I would bring my own bathroom cleaner. One good thing - the water there is HOT and comes out powerfully, like a massager!!
