Its a Motel 6 so it is what it is. It wasn't terrible. We were only in the room to sleep. The staff was very friendly.

I knew it wasn't the best but there were just too much noise. Higher quality windows would have helped. No comfort. It's a place where you go to sleep and get out.

What Hotels.com said I'd be charged at the motel was not the price. It was about $10 more. I paid cash and did not get a receipt. The door was not fitted right. Huge gap around it, where you could clearly see daylight. Toilet wasn't secured and rocked when sat upon, as well as the toilet seat. Seems like shoddy workmanship. While they are a pet friendly motel, which is the #1 reason why I stay at Motel 6, there wasn't anywhere for her to go potty. I had to walk down the road.

The parking lot is super small and tight. One long truck will block it so you can not get in or out of the lot.

Check in counter person was very blah - no personality, no smile, no acknowledgment when I walked, No I’ll be with you right after I help this gentleman, no how’s your day going or anything. Gave him my ID checked me in gave me my room key. Good size room. Top sheet had some spotted stains. Pillows have no cushion completely flat. Shower head spray had water coming out with strength but a lot of water was still coming out from the bottom spout wasting a lot of water. No towel rug when u get out of the shower we had give up a hand towel for it so we wouldn’t slip getting out while drying ourselves. Room smelled of A LOT and I mean A LOT of either a cleaning smell or smelling spray to mask a smell in the room. My noise was irritated right when I opened the door as it hits you right in the face! They need to open and air out the rooms after cleaning. Side table tops are not part of the table it’s just a piece added on so u need to make sure it doesn’t fall off and drop on your feet. The bottom of the bed frame is a thin metal so when you accidentally hit it with your feet it sounds like loud thunder! The minimalist ceiling light is super bright it’s like one of those lights in Vegas they have for you to stay awake to keep you gambling. We had to turn off the room light and turn the bathroom light on instead. Lighting here was not relaxing. Up side room included a mini fridge and microwave

What you would expect for a motel 6. You get what you pay for. It’s right off the main road. There is not much parking the lot is pretty tight to move around in. The stay was pretty quiet couldn’t hear the neighboring rooms. The comforter on one of the beds had a small stain. The only real problem was the whole room reeked like cigarettes. They charge $50 deposit never got it back I rented the room to rest as I was too tired to drive home was only there for maybe 4 hours to take a quick nap. No reason why I shouldn’t have received my deposit back.

It was clumps of hair all around the floor. The front desk rude. They tryed to charge my credit card $536 after I already paid for two days. When I asked why they got rude.next day tryed to say I smoked in the room to keep my deposit. The water don't get hot. Rooms small small

My room was clean, met the requirements for a basic minimum-price motel. The location is right next to a main street, so it can be noisy. Ask for a room away from the street

front desk was not staffed most of the time. had to telephone to get through the door. had to wait for him to show up from adjoining apt., even wait on sidewalk because clerk was on the toilet or in the shower. what kind of place does not staff front desk?! no coffee until 9:00 a.m. when housekeeper show up to make it.

Just a horrible hotel
2.0
Room appeared to be recently remodeled. There was no place to hang any clothes. There was spattered paint on the flooring. Overall, clean. Bed was comfortable. One table and chair, with the microwave on the table -- which left almost no room to use as a desk.
1.0
Got charged even though we didn't stay due to not being pet friendly ( a pet fee of half the rate is not a pet friendly hotel, its just a large fee if you bring a pet in the room) Front desk lied and was rude. Unsafe to stay
2.0
The comforter had stains on it and we didn’t have a smoke detector in our room.

The room was not clean, there was ash from cigarettes on the floor. The smell in the room was bad there was flies all over the room. I called from services to see if they could switch rooms and they said they were sold out.

this hotel is getting a facelift so the pictures don’t do it justice. we stayed 2 nights and it worked out nicely. the parking isn’t the best on site and it can be a headache for parking, but the rooms were nice and clean and i felt safe there. whenever we needed something they got it to us right away! thank you!

Flat pillows, room smells like cigarettes. The bathroom was clean, the housekeepers were friendly . For one day -one night stay is okay nothing fancy but definitely the pillows need to be replaced.

Customer services wasn’t good. Towels and sheets look old and dirty. There is a funny smell in the bedrooms. There is 0 entertainment in the hotel.
4.0
For a 2.5 star hotel, I was very happy with my stay. The room was clean, and the refrigerator was on and very cold when I arrived.
I saw other reviews that complained that their room smelled like smoke. This hotel has some smoking rooms so be sure you request non-smoking if that is your preference.
