We needed a night’s sleep and nothing more so stayed here based on recent positive experiences at other Motel 6 locations. There were several people loitering in the parking lot and the lock on the side door wasn’t working so I’m glad my husband was with me. The room was fine and to be expected for the price but the curtains were completely sheer. Finally the AC was insanely loud and the mattress was older so sleep was hard to come by. Spend a few more dollars elsewhere.

What i liked, it was a few doors down from Perkins Family Restaurant. What we didn't like. I would not recommend this motel to anyone. The lobby & the room, was not at all like the pictures online. Everything in the room needed to be replaced or updated. It was tired.Especially the toilet seat, which had gouges in it. We had to put a towel to stand on in the tub, due to the stains, etc.#204. The bed skirt was oversized & a trip hazard. The people above us were noisy. We left at 6am, we had a poor night's sleep. We didn't feel comfortable staying any longer, than we had to.
