Motel 6 McAlester, OK - South

the Pool wasn't working and place looked a little ran down. It's summer, looks like I'd for sure have pool working. Didn't have water in it . And great balls of fire, only has bowling open right now.

This is now the Motel 6 South. Cheap, low quality, you get what you pay for. No breakfast, but they did have coffee in the lobby. Just be sure to bring your own sweetener. They only have sweet n low (nasty stuff) Across the street from the Union stockyards, so you might get a whiff of the natural smell of what occurs in the stockyards. Pros and Cons: we were not allowed to check in until 3:00! They do not have an elevator to get to the second floor. Part of the lobby was being used as a storage facility. There is no seating in the lobby. The vending machines were broken. The good things; the water was hot. The sheets appear clean. most of the staff was very friendly. Not sure if it’s good or bad thing but they feed stray cats outside the door and the cats can walk around on the cars.

This hotel may be the worst I have ever stayed at. Bathroom had no water pressure. Toilet was busted. The lights were falling off the wall. It is hard to put into word how bad this was. They have no maintenance to fix anything. I was outright told I couldn't talk to the manager. The front desk to me it had been in bankruptcy for 5 years and i do believe that. She was horrible and basically said i cant do anything. I would sleep under a bridge before I would stay here again. I being generous with this review.

I'm sure I've had worse hotel experiences but I couldn't tell you when. After finishing up our workweek we made the trip to this quaint little 50's themed hotel we had seen on previous trips. Its proximity to 2 of our favorite places in the area made it seem ideal.... only it was far from ideal. The room we were given was between two partying crowds and the walls are so thin we could here them very plainly. A previous guest's clothing was still hanging in the bathroom, the toilet was nasty, the bathtub had soap rings on the side, the shower only worked halfway, the doorstop was chewed up, and there were mouse feces in the corner. The metal safety latch on the door was broken and jagged to the point it could cut you if you didn't notice it. When we asked to be moved to another room we were told there were none available. We spent our hotel budget when we checked in so finding another place to stay was out of the question. Had it been just myself I would have slept in the vehicle but my son and chronically sick wife shouldn't have to do that after I spent almost $200 for 2 nights. We were able to turn the TV up enough to drown out some of the noise from the adjoining room but that didn't help with the slamming doors and stomping going on in the hallway. When my wife woke up feeling sick I found mildew/mold in the window she had slept next to. They finally offered us a new room the next morning when I went to the desk but it just wasn't worth the risk. The lady at the desk was super nice but her replacement was dismissive and acted like there shouldn't have been any problems telling me "Well, it's a hotel so we can't do anything about that" when told about the noise issues. In the end they did give us a partial refund for our sleepless night but again, she acted like they shouldn't have to. I wouldn't recommend this place, at this time, to someone I don't like.
