Motel 6 Hotels in Florence

Trust the reviews on this one guys. I've stayed in Motel 6 all around the US and have never had a poor experience like this one. Stay away from this particular one. Buckle up and get ready for this review. We'll start with the bath towels...they were hand towels, no actual human sized towels to dry off with. Noise: The environment is incredibly noisy so be prepared for no sleep. There were people constantly walking by and talking by our room and our room was right next to the train tracks which apparently is very active - we had a train come by blowing its whistle every couple of hours all through the night. Lights: If you are a sleeper who needs most or complete darkness, bring a sleep mask. There are lights that are always on outside that shine through the window. There is also a clock and temperature light imbedded into the mirror that continuously flashes blue light between the two readings. Cleanliness: There was a large crack in the ceiling, which normally I can look past but there was clear evidence of water damage on the walls which left me unsettled. The room had obviously not been cleaned (or not well) based on the dirt and hair everywhere - and I'm talking noticeable amounts; I can look past a little here or there. The room also had been smoked in, even though it was supposed to be ”non-smoking”. Pros: The hotel is cheap. And I know in most cases you get what you pay for but this hotel did not meet the minimum standards of care compared to others in the $50-60 price range around the country. I tried to give this place a fair shot but in the end I just couldn't do it. I ended up leaving around 4 AM just to get away from it. There are other hotels in the area around the same price, try those out instead.
