I must preface this by admitting that I haven't stayed in a Motel 6 in quite some time, but I always remembered them as being just OK- small, a little dingy, probably noisy, but a cheap place to get some rest.  My recent experience here was quite different.  Firstly, despite reserving a \""non-smoking\"" room, I arrived in the evening to find that none existed.  My room smelled like a freshly used ashtray and my throat started getting scratchy right away.  I went out for dinner and a cocktail and returned to find a security guard wanting to walk me to my room.  Instead, however, of \""have a good night\"" or something similar, he told me that I had better not make any noise or I'd be kicked out.  OK!!  I went quietly inside and started looking for the remote control for the TV.  None.  Pay extra for wi-fi?  I was considering it, but what is that new choking smell?!?  \n\nSMOKE!  \n\nSomething is on fire!  I opened the door to find smoke pouring out of the neighboring room.  With a toddler staring out from behind him, my neighbor tried to assure me that the smoke was just his bandanna that had accidentally caught fire and everything was under control.  Pay no attention to this crack pipe or the acrid smoke that I'm exhaling now....Now my throat is really getting sore,  It's 3 a.m. and I'm scared that if I fall asleep, the place could burn down.  Where's that security guy now?\n\n Feeling really dirty, I looked at the bathtub and shower.  Burn marks all over it.  Burn holes in the bedding too, nice....small bar of soap, but no shampoo.  1 extremely threadbare tiny towel.  Not inviting whatsoever!\nI had a reservation for a second night, but instead slept for an hour or so in my truck in the parking lot and then found a different place to stay/bathe.  Cursing the guy who recommended this place....\n\nI'm hoping the smell comes out of my clothes now....
