Very clean. Friendly staff. There is road noise and a train. But that is to be expected and obvious due to its location near the highway. I have 4 stars only because the water would not get hot in the shower. It was barely warm. Others I spoke to said this was not typical of the hotel though. No place to walk your pup, BUT... there is a dog park beside the gas station on the other side of the overpass!

Overall this motel 6 was a mess. The outside looks like it’s old and run down. Closed business around it. The rooms were not great but livable for one night only. If you’re a lite sleeper, the trucks going down 81 will keep you up all night. I do not like to leave bad reviews but I would not stay here if you don’t have too.

Your typical motel stay it was just a room to stay in. The shower faucet was leaky but whatever. The staff were nice and friendly. But overall it’s a motel 6 stay nothing much to hope for it did its job.

Hardee's is across the street, bed is comfortable (my husband has back and neck issues), owners are friendly and accommodate our needs weekly and the room is always clean and ready for us. We stay two nights a week regularly due to my husband's work location. It's my understanding this motel used to have issues, but I've seen none in the two months we've stayed there. We will continue to stay here when in this area for work.

Need to fix or upgrade water heater. I’m use to taking mildly warm showers. Even on the highest setting of heat for the sink and shower, the heat stayed on for maybe 3 minutes. Then it turned to cold and wouldn’t warm up for another couple of hours.

Small area to walk the dogs. Smelled of smoke upon entering the room. I always carry air freshener just in case. Front desk was very accommodating!
