The staff were extremely helpful, the pool was under construction and the washer and dryer broke when I used it. There was no number to get a refund. I stayed there for two weeks and on the ninth day there my car got broken into. The room was clean and I had a microwave and refrigerator that was functional overall the area is sketchy, but the hotel is mid.

We only stayed for one night so we did not explore the property per se. Significant renovation work was underway as installation of new stone pathways were being installed. But the work site was clearly marked and clean and quiet during our brief one-night stay. Staffler very friendly at this Budget hotel.

Good price and the parking lot was well lit, which made me feel safe. The place had all the basic amenities I needed. However, the TV had a line on the screen, and the shower head was leaking and didn’t provide enough water pressure.

Rooms and property were clean even with renovations. Water pressure is comically low. Towels requires to remove soap from skin. WiFi is absurdly slow (minute + to download an email, forget about streaming anything) AND the network is open and unsecured. Housekeeping hit or miss but staff polite and quick to address when requested

The ac was great, they were doing work on the pool so lots of debris from that around. It is close to a couple fast food restaurants...It was priced right. My husband went to pick up one of our bags to load, and a bottle of wine broke, I made sure to tell the front desk who handed me a broom and a dustpan to clean up the glass shards..no problem. Easy off and on interstate.

The room was clean and the mattress was good. Ridiculous pricing at $200 for a Motel 6 - they really got me for a one night last minute stay when everyone else was full. For that price they don't even provide shampoo. Was lucky to get soap.
