I chosee this motel due to the price and value and needing somewhere to stay for our concert we were attending. On hotels.com it showed a indoor pool, so I packed my swimming suit. When we checked in the lobby smelled like cigarette smoke and was dirty and rundown. There were two signs hanging up saying swimming pool cloaed, which was very disappointing. When we got in our rooms they were nice and clean and recently remodeled. Most of the exterior doors were not operating correctly. The one hall smelled like throwup. Probably won't stay here again

Landlord special updates in the rooms, you could hear everything from the other guests, trashy, rundown, and dirty entrances and hallways. Pool was down and no breakfast is offered. Not at all worth $140 a night

I tried to stay at this place and got a room through Expedia and when I got there the lady at the desk was of no help. She claimed she couldn’t find my reservation and would not allow me to stay and basically sent me on my way and just walked away from the desk. Luckily I was able to contact Expedia and they offered me a full refund. The woman working was very unprofessional and not of any help

The indoor pool that was advertised,was closed.the only reason we came here was to swim with my son.

Does the owner actually care about this property? The parking lot was scattered with litter. The courtyard outside my room had broken siding and roofing. Cigarette butts littering the doorways. The room had three lights...entry, and two small ones by the beds. Nothing in the work area. Plus the mattress was covered with plastic...does that mean it was infested with bed bugs at one time? Bad even for a Motel 6.

Great Deal

Room did not have coffee pot, or shampoo and conditioner. There was a man outside banging on a pipe for over 5 hours, I believe he worked at the hotel. Overall did not match listing description.

The room itself is as advertised. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and it was quiet. We could tell the room had recently been updated, and the pool looked well-maintained. Our stay was a good one in this regard. However, be aware that the hallways and the hotel itself are not updated or in good condition. This is a Motel 6 with a kitchenette.

It was basic with no frills.

Once you got into the room it was very clean and comfortable.
Outside doors were not secured. Hallways were not very clean.
It was fine for what we needed.

Had a pretty good stay. It looks like they are remodeling. The staff was super friendly. Only downside is how thing the walls are. The people in the next room were so loud and fighting till about 3am. But thats not the hotels fault.

It was super disrespectful front management and dirty
4.0
The lady at the front desk was so great. The rooms were overall clean and comfortable. They had the AC on for me so I didn't walk into a sauna. The pool was ok. Carpet would've been nice in the rooms but I understand why it was laminate. I really liked that the room had a large fridge, microwave, stove top, dishes, etc. Would've liked an extra blanket and more then one towel per person. But I'm sure I could've asked and got them. The location sucks. You have to enter the gas station to get to it which was super confusing to me. The parking lot where I parked closest to my room was behind a bunch of parked semis at the gas station so I felt very unsafe in general. But all in all for the price, it was a deal and I'd probably stay again.

Great motel for the price! They are pet friendly, have a huge indoor pool, and close to outlet mall and Adventureland. Plus so many places to eat near by.

The room was so humid our beds were wet and our clothes we got out of our suitcases were damp by morning. A/C worked fine. Don’t know what was going on. Reserved 2 queen beds for 2 full. Bathroom is so little when I turned around to shut the door I almost fell in the bathtub b twice. The phone system didn’t work even trying to call main office.

I was pleasantly surprised at the hotel. Bathroom was small but it did the job.

Poor condition of stairs and hall ways. Broken windows abandoned cars in parking lot. Questionable people sitting on the stairs at every entrance. Room was remodeled recently but the rest of property was dirty and poor condition.

Check-in person was extremely grumpy. Room was clean but hallways, doorways and parking lot were filthy and cluttered with trash and cigarette butts. The room reeked of mildew and the a/c smelled awful. The a/c also made very loud clunking noises all night. We got locked out of our room and the building at 6:30 am, as our key cards no longer worked. Definitely not worth the $100 cost of the room with taxes and fees.
Worst hotel experience since using Expedia 😪.

Room was very nice, outside area is a mess. Door at end of Hallway B is broken and the homeless sleep in the doorway area. FIX THE DOOR. I'm sure it has been that way for awhile . I did not like having to step around them to get to my truck.

When we got there which was late to check in. We had travel over 12 hours and wanted a shower and clean bed. The room had no hot water, maint came to check it out and was told nope no hot water. They would not change our room til the next night. The room needed to be better cleaned. We didn’t even get a comp night Because of the no hot water. I will not stay there again

There needs to be air cleaner in the hall ways. Due to the remodeling it was difficult to walk my dog.

I was over all ver impressed with the hotel. The outside made me think I was going to be disappointed.But when I got into my room I was very happy. It was so clean and smelled so good. It's all updated and the beds are so comfortable. I deff will stay here again.

Very easy to drive from room to my destination. Rooms were very nice and cost friendly. Will stay here next year if it works

We were pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness and spaciousness of the room. The rooms have been remodeled and are beautiful. The hall ways could use some work. Down side, no elevator or coffee pot in the room. I am ok with no breakfast, but it would be nice to have a coffee pot in the room especially since it is has a kitchenette.
It was quiet
3.0
Lady at front was great. Area around hotel is amusement park parking, big rig truck stop. Doesn’t feel secure. Building in very poor shape. Holes in walls, no scan pad at pool access, just exposed wires. Front desk doesn’t match Expedia pictures. More of a run down area with a glasses security counter. Having said that clearly they are working on renovations as the room was done as was some of the hall way. Unfortunately the hall work seems to have taken a bit of a beating which would indicate someone is hard on it. We weren’t sure if we would use Expedia again after that. Rooms in area were hard to come by, but no way this was worth $160

It looks like they are remodeling the motel. The rooms were very clean and spacious. Had a small table and 2 chairs for dinette and nice size refrigerator.
The temperature in the room was hard to adjust as was 62°.

When made the reservation it showed breakfast was available and it was NOT.

The room was playing the pool water was really cold it probably need to sleep around it more for some reason there were a few rocks that we had stepped on the smell of the hallway smelled bad this is a very strong smell not sure what it was. It was nice having a full size fridge and a microwave and then there's a spot on the counter that you could turn on and put something hot on it I know will burner.
3.0
The room itself was fairly nice, especially for the lower rate. The hotel itself, however, left a lot to be desired.
The hotel is listed as Studio 6. Upon arrival, we saw the sign that it was a Motel 6. If I had known that, we wouldn’t have booked it.
There was at least 1 door that had been damaged to the point of replacement & they didn’t bother to paint it to make it blend in. You have to drive thru a gas station / truck stop parking lot to access the building. There were often random people just sort of sitting around the outside of the building at all hours of the day & night. Many vehicles in the parking lot had varying degrees of damage done to them. It just gave a vibe that it wasn’t the safest place to be staying.
The only complaint about the room is that the bathroom was small & the tub was quite slippery (no pads to stand on).
The lady who was there when we checked in was friendly & was joking around. When we returned later that night, the person that was at the desk didn’t seem as friendly.
Based on this experience, I will likely book somewhere else the next time I’m in the area.

I liked the flooring in our rooms and beds were comfortable also. I booked two rooms neither bath tub held water. There was no breakfast as was advertised at all. The pool was only open until 930 pm there are boxes of discarded clothes outside the building broken room windows parking lots very dirty . It was kind of freightening actually
