Affordable and great.

Front staff was very friendly and helpful. I would like to see the basketball court cleaned up and fixed up, I know we would have enjoyed playing on the court. Other than that the stay was great for the price 🙂

It was very nice for a Motel 6. The pool is big and lovely. Front desk service could be better, though, and the pillows were slabs of hard foam.

Excellent stay!

Amazing stay! Stayed here with young children and felt very safe here. There was no noise from others. The staff was very friendly. We stayed two nights and they did a great job housekeeping our room. Air worked great, room was very clean, tv worked just fine. We will try to stay here again. Ice maker worked just fine, lots of parking, and check in was very fast. Walkable distance to Denny’s and the grocery store. Refrigerator and microwave worked fine. Shower pressure and temperature were great.

Would be nice to have a larger bath towel. All-n-All I enjoyed my 1 night . Happy the hotel has been remodeled. The room was clean,quiet and safe. The outside light infront of the lobby was kind of dim.All of Main Street attract some homeless people due to the fact there is 101 highway where homeless often sleep under the overpasse.

Good ppl but need some finishing touches

Check in was fast and easy good customer service. But with room I feel like they could have added more appliance for example a soap bar holder at least or for my shampoo . I’ve been to other motel 6 and they are usually very good at updating their appliances. Pool is open from 8am to 8pm But no body seems to not really get in I suppose is due to no shade or any comfortable chairs around . Denny is right next door so that’s a plus ! Literally walking distance . Tv looks updated but no good channels Probably using antenna .

Bare bones - good pricing but you get what you pay for. There was only soap, no shampooing conditioner. Bed and pillow were not comfortable. Most of the place was clean but not the floors. Just needs to be updated. We had a room right by the street and it can get loud. For pet owners, I like that there was a grassy area and narrow patches in front of the rooms for pets to relieve themselves.
