Check in and out went smoothly, upon arrival I noticed the room wasn’t super well cleaned (hair all over the bathroom, stained towels, and an unpleasant smell) but after I left my review the cleaning staff came and re-cleaned the room. It felt a lot more clean afterwards which made my stay a lot More comfortable!

Check in: Was done by an employee over a live video phone call. This was a seamless experience, and very straightforward. Stay: I got a 2 bed hotel room. It came with a microwave/fridge that I really appreciated. There was lots of parking, which is always a plus.

The room was clean and comfortable. Perfect for a cheap stay to move our daughter into college. The check in with a remote employee was weird and difficult to communicate with. The staff at the counter was very helpful and nice. There are some characters walking around the property.

Floor was not clean. Parking spaces were very small. Front desk person was very helpful. She came and cleaned the floors and bathroom. There weren’t enough towels and wash cloths. The check in was on the computer. It was frustrating to deal with. In person is much better.

For the nightly rate this property was a fairly good deal. The room was clean, the shower had good pressure, and the beds were very comfy. There were a couple of cigarette burn holes in one of the bed covers though. Check in and check out were relatively easy. Would stay there again when in the area.

Book this hotel. Don’t let the low prices fool you. Rooms and property are very clean, and all looks new. Amenities are not in abundance at any motel 6, but the coffee machine in the lobby was great and the check-in kiosk was really cool. They are simple rooms but they are nice. Fridge and microwave and shower all works great. Bed seems new also which was really nice since having a bad back. The soap in the bathroom smells good too. All the staff I’ve seen seem pretty great, the front desk agents are very professional and competent and it’s honestly refreshing, and the housekeepers are super nice and do a great job. You won’t be disappointed.
