Does Motel 6 ever send someone to inspect the properties they franchise? Tom Bodette would be embarrassed to "Leave the lite on" at this one. To check in, you don't go into a lobby. You talk through a filthy window. The parking lot is littered with trash, overturned food trays, underwear, and other assorted discarded items. The interior of the room isn't any better. Someone punched a hole in the shower stall, there was mold around the tub, stains on the mattress, stains on the wall, food left in the refrigerator from previous tenants, an unflushed toilet, and greasy fingers all over the microwave and television. The room door had a large gap because it wouldn't close all the way. The place is in really bad shape.
