It was a very good stay. The staff were really nice and helpful. The room was smaller than I thought it had two beds, but it was clean and smelled good. It had everything we needed for a two night stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Stayed one night in room 249. No complaints, standard Motel 6 room. Water pressure was excellent and water stayed warm/hot when needed, not always my experience with Motel 6 properties. All in all would stay again!!

Fine, but needs work

Fine for one night, to just sleep. Mattress was very worn out, flooring felt uneven, shower was so small that the curtain stuck to you while you were showering. No shampoo or conditioner and a very small bar of soap. One towel was left for 3 people staying.

When we started the shower water was cold but the staff was great they helped fix the boiler. If you are disabled or limited to walking there are no elevators. Close parking fills up too fast. They offered morning coffee no breakfast food items. There was free wifi. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable.

Pictures of the room not Accurate at all.

I booked a 2 double bed room based on the pictures on Hotels.com webpage. No way did the room look anything like the pictures. It wasn't a double bed but a oversized twin. The property did not clean the room but would give your towels if you picked them up from the office.
