Motel 6 Saraland, AL

Inside, the room was clean, tidy, smelled really good, and honestly left me in shock and awe. I realized it was a hidden gem and would recommend it 10 out of 10. From the outside, though, it didn’t look like a place I’d normally choose, and walking through the lobby I half expected to turn right around. The lobby left something to be desired. I was greeted by a man with a great smile but a lackluster personality, then a bubbly, lively, sweet, friendly woman came out. It was convenient and perfectly located for what I needed.

The floor was nasty and there were spriders everywhere. It looks like you’ve stepped into the 80s, and the only thing new seemed to be the A/C. Staff weren’t friendly, they just took your money and handed over a key. You can see the parking lot through the crack in the door. Don’t just slap some paint on it and call it new.

The office staff allow all kinds of illegal activities, and there were rats and roaches. This is the most horrible place I have ever said in my entire life.

The first room smelled like urine, but the manager moved us to another without any fuss. In that second room the door didn’t seal, the pillowcases had holes, and the towels and linens were stained and looked dirty. I woke up to a roach staring at me, so there’s that too. You save a few bucks, but it’s kind of dingy. I guess the old saying, “you get what you pay for,” fits.
