The rooms are very clean. The staff is very courteous and actual will help you and your family out with accommodation without hesitation. I’ve seen multiple guests with animals that seem very happy with the environment at the Motel. Definitely pet friendly. The showers have great water pressure aswell. Enjoy your stay at the Motel 6!

A great bargain place for travelers. No refrigerator or microwave in rooms, but a microwave is available in the break room. The rooms are small, but well suited for handicapped people. No carpeting, which makes the rooms easier to clean. The mattresses are economy, but ok. There is a functional swimming pool. The staff was friendly. The a/c unit worked well, and the parking was convenient, as was the location.

The staff was great. Our biggest complaint was there was not a refrigerator, but we knew that going in. The odd thing was there was not hairdryer! The bed was comfortable, the air conditioner was amazing, the pool and area was clean.

This is definitely a case of you pay for what you get. Our bathtub was literally chipping and rusting away. It wasn't very clean at all. The rooms are TINY and the AC is literally right by the bed so you are either freezing your ass off or you are sweating it off. Staff is really friendly and helpful so that was appreciated very much. If you are looking for just a cheap stay, this place is perfect. The bed isnt a queen either BTW, its a full. So there's that. The location is convenient to literally everything. That i did like. The beds were small, but the sheets and blankets were clean and so were the towels. The rooms in general could just use a good scrubbing from top to bottom but im also a clean freak so it could be just me. I give this place an overall 5/10.

Great location. It's very old and not kept renovated very well. It did its job. Good a/c and a hot shower. The parking lot was well lit. This was important to me because I was hauling a trailer.
