Motel 6 Gulfport, Gulfport

We got there after driving 18+ hours and all I wanted was a shower! Opened the door and the smell was horrible, smelled like nothing but mold! There was 5 of us in the room, 2 adults and our 3 kids, we all wanted to shower which is hard with 2 towels so I asked the housekeeper just a few rooms down for some towels and that was like pulling teeth. She said she would go get me some when she was done because she only had 2 on her cart. She did end up giving me those 2. There were 3 cops in the parking lot talking to the owner and I assume a guest by the fence and looking over like if they were looking for a body. There's no soap, shampoo/conditioner, hair dryer or even an alarm clock or any type of clock in the room. The upstairs balcony railing felt as if it was going to fall off. There were people "living" at the hotel just a few rooms down that were drinking every night and dropping beer bottles on the ground and not cleaning it up. The front desk clerk when we checked in was very rude and unkept! I do have to say there was a blonde clerk that was super nice but didn't see her untili we checked out. Next time we visit we will spend the extra $20/night to stay at a much nicer and more kept place. Do not stay at this motel!

We have been driving all day and came in really late, and just needed a good nights rest. We get to our room and it was halfway open. My mouth dropped open. I half expected to see a dead body in there or something. We checked to make sure. Strike one. I took a shower and my husband was sitting at the table by the window. There was a man who kept walking by our room being really loud, just kept walking around, pacing. Talking to no one in particular. I was so nervous and starting to cry. Strike two. You know when you just have that bad feeling in the pit of your stomach? That's what I had. When I got out of the shower, my husband says "okay, we are leaving, get your stuff". I didn't ask questions, just walked quickly to our car. We got in, my husband tells me while I was in the shower he saw that same guy make a drug deal right there in the parking lot! In plain view! Strike three. It started pouring down rain, we were hungry and tired and just wanted to get the heck out of there. Yes, we should have demanded a refund, but we honestly didn't think we would get one and we were in a hurry to get out of there. We still had a 5 1/2 hour drive ahead of us, so we drove the rest of the night on no sleep to get to our destination. We had never been more uncomfortable in our lives. Next time, we are just gonna bite the bullet and spend more money for a really nice hotel where we are actually comfortable. Not worth the money! Everything was disgusting. The police need to patrol around that motel ALOT.
