It’s a Average cheap motel. But I didn’t like how our key card was always deactivated and we would have to go to get it reactivated. And the place is a little dated.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was in poor condition, very outdated. Didn't seem very clean. My door had to be forced to shut all the way. When I came back from my show in the middle of the night the clerk was nowhere to be found and I had had my wallet stolen, which had my room key, so I was stranded in the lobby for a good hour. Every Motel 6 I've been to in the last year has been deplorable. Don't come here unless you have to.

You get what you pay for. Its cheap but staff was dismissive, area was unsafe, smells heavily of weed and cigarettes, rooms where unclean, housekeeping came in while I was still booked in and attempted to take my beer, poured out my energy drink. Also dont order food while here, door dash or others will steal it.

So it was clean enough and bed was comfortable. Could have had a few more pillows. There were only 3. Just was noisy could hear music blaring all night outside. So a few times we woke up from that. Area also seems a bit shady definitely would make sure to be cautious going to and from your car. Staff were ok. Check in and out was easy.

It should not be listed as a hotel rather a rest stop. To get clean towels you have to physically bring to front desk the dirty ones for an. Exchange. Absolutely no front desk area , you also have to request if you need more toilet paper

Would not recommend even for the price

This motel looks great on the app but it is very run down inside. The bed and pillows where super uncomfortable… we would not stay again and would not recommend. People were out in the halls and very noisy very late (11pm-1am) both nights that we stayed and nothing was done about it. It was not expensive but for the same price there are way better options!

We were given a room in the smoking section of the building and right away, the smell was pungent of marijuana. Then as we walk into our room, it was dirty, and had roaches. I had my two sons with me, and we had to ask for another room. We were then offered a room on the non-smoking side, a bit better, but bath tub was dirty.
