Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Diane, P, visiting Acrisure Arena Sun, 3 September 2023

The room was clean and staff polite. It is not their fault that I experienced an unpleasant night due to a domestic disturbance.

Liked: The room was clean.
Disliked: Was no fault of staff. Had a terrible night due to a disturbance of a female late at night yelling obscenities and pounding on the door next to me arguing with her boyfriend to let her in.

Horrified !!!! Zoom in on...

Liked: Nothing !!
Disliked: I entered my room upon arrival and turned van on the light and Cockroaches scattered under the furniture and ran up the walls and rested on the ceiling. I was traumatized . We immediately backed out and headed towards the office for an immediate refund. There was also a room with yellow tape across the door and window that was shattered. What a nightmare of a Location. If I were Motel 6 , I’d eliminate this franchisee or whatever the deal is. I’ve stayed in really nice, clean Morel 6’s before but this one has me keeping my distance from future considerations.
