Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Property was not ideal in that it was long and narrow with parking along the entire outside. A driveway surrounds the property with plenty of parking which did feel safe. It was just challenging to take your dog to use the bathroom. There was a little patch of rocks in the corner that did the trick. Because there wasn't other grass nearby either. But other than that, this place was fantastic.

The place was disgusting so we asked for a refund Motel 6 could not give us a refund due to booking through Expedia. I called Expedia and went to voice mail so I gave them my name and number 24+ and no phone call. I would like a refund! Motel 6 did not book me I have pictures of the room it's disgusting.

Traveler beware. Uncomfortable beds, Noisy neighbors partying in the parking lot and in front of my door plus they were slamming doors all night long which had my dogs barking and kept me awake. When i dared to complained, the office staff cancelled my prepaid reservation extension without warning. I had to not only pack and be out of the room in 30 min but had to find somewhere else to go and get an Uber in that short amount of time. I still have not received a refund for them cancelling. I have repeatedly chatted with Expedia's virtual agents trying to get a refund of my $190.00 but so far nothing. . Word of advice, if you want to actually sleep, go anywhere else. If you complain you'll get ripped off or have to wait weeks for a refund if you get one

I would like to commend Jesus who was at the desk at check in. He was so helpful, kind, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcomed. He made sure we had everything we needed and made sure we were happy with the room. Thank you so much Jesus for your help and kindness. I'm sure he is a great asset for your company.
