Since the rooms have been upgraded in the past, they are very pleasant to stay in. The exterior cleanliness could be a little bit better, but the rooms and interior cleanliness was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful and I checked in and out quickly. The motel is a great choice for quick no frills stays.

After finally figuring out how to get to the hotel, it was acceptable. The room was fairly small, but the bed was comfortable, and wifi worked well. The room did have a large bathtub that was really nice, and the towels were better quality than expected. A decent value accommodation.

Parking was okay. Didn't have issues finding a spot when we got after 1am. It was quiet, no loud sounds. Not bad for a Motel 6. Nothing fancy but for 1 night and bed was comfortable.
