Looks to me, people live here rather than stay. Checked in, and the lady was accommodating, very nice. On checkout, I gave them the key card. He took it and walked away. Not helpful since I paid for 2 nights and only stayed 1.

I appreciated the updated room features (new furniture, lighting, bathroom), but the floor, bathroom walls, and light switches felt like they needed a good scrubbing, and the bedding had stains and crumbs in it?????!! It was a non-smoking room but smelled like smoke, but not strongly. The main office was hard to find, but overall not a big deal, and the staff were helpful. The complimentary morning coffee was nice.

My Sister and 2 others stayed here for 1 night. It is a 2 star rating so she didn't expect much. The location was good and near the freeway. They were happy that their room was not near the trash can. The beds were clean. The shower appeared to be stained, so only 1 of the 3 people used it. But, back to, it's a 2 star rating and she said she was okay with the stay.

Room was clean, however some maintenance needed to be done in the bathroom. Walls are thin and it was very busy on a weekend in summer, so it was loud. Door was missing a second lock, but property seemed safe.

I know they say you get what you pay for well I’m not rich like other people. I’m just a regular person who is a mother who take their three children to have a good time and the room is so terrible. It’s not clean. It’s filthy. The bathroom is broken. The bathroom ceiling is leaking and they didn’t even offer me to change my room. I would not stay here at all again.

I liked that this Motel 6 has a working pool, plenty of parking, and a convenient location near the expressway, making it a good option for travelers. That said, the property definitely shows its age. The first room I was assigned had yellow spots of what appeared to be dried liquid near the door. The shower curtain was torn and falling apart, and the shower itself was very small. There were no hangers provided for clothing, and when the bathroom door is fully opened, it blocks access to the sink, which is an awkward design. The pool was usable, but every lounge chair had broken plastic slats that form the seating surface, making them uncomfortable and in need of replacement. The bottom of the pool has also seen better days. I also noticed that the motel appears to have several long-term residents, which gave it more of an extended-stay atmosphere than a typical Motel 6. Another thing to note is that the ice machine is located inside the front office rather than outside, so you'll need to stop by the office if you need ice. Overall, it's acceptable for a one-night stay if you need a relatively inexpensive place to sleep, but don't expect much beyond the basics.

Had to go to the office a few times cause the key wouldn't work. The window curtains had stains on it. Even tho it was a non smoking room it still smelled. The bathroom looked like a gym shower. The bed squeaked every time you move. One of the light fixtures didn't work. Best part of the room was the TV. It was a nice size for the room. Pretty much you get what you pay for. If you don't have much to spend, this place will suffice. Just have to suck it up.

I kept having to remind the kids that at least we had beds and a toilet that flushed. I had to go through and wipe down and scrub off various disgusting sticky things from the bathroom and vanity are walls, and use Lysol wipes to clean to shower curtain, entire stall, and the floors everywhere. I will spare you tales of what the maids left behind in the gaps between the bed and the wall on the side with the AC unit. The bed was so hard we had to go and buy a foam pad. I couldn't walk after one night! We also had to buy new pillows, cases, and blankets because the ones provided were well used and their cleanliness was highly questionable. Our budget for fun went to surviving this room for 5 days.There were footprints on the beds and hair in the sheets from the moment we arrived. Once we got everything cleaned up and comfortable for our small family, our trip was mostly enjoyable. Smokers outside of our room bothered us at night. My kids often didn't feel safe as we were walking in and out due to then amount of vandalism and lurkers who would be just sitting by their rooms on lawn chairs. I'm sure they were just interested in who was coming and going, but my teenage girls found them unnerving. Confession, I haven't stayed at a Motel 6 in a metropolitan area before. This was our first time. We usually choose hotels, but due to budget, motel 6 was our only option. We all agree that it ruined our trip. Next time, we just won't go if we can't find a better hotel. Too stressful.

We stayed at this hotel for six nights, and unfortunately our experience was disappointing from the start. On our first night, we were given a room with a cracked shower floor that leaked water underneath the shower and into the bathroom. When we reported the issue, I spoke with guests from a neighboring room who told me they had previously stayed in the room below ours and experienced water leaking from the bathroom ceiling. It became apparent that the hotel was already aware of the problem but continued renting out the room anyway. We were then rushed into another room because the hotel needed to clean up the water damage, and we were told the original room had already been rented out again for that same night. Neither room was particularly clean. There was dust buildup around the vents, and it seemed like housekeeping only changed towels and made the bed rather than performing a thorough cleaning. Throughout our stay, I had to repeatedly request housekeeping service at the front desk, and each time it seemed like an inconvenience. Out of six nights, our room was only serviced twice. The location is great, but the property itself feels neglected and outdated. Maintenance issues appear to be patched over rather than properly fixed, and the overall cleanliness and service did not meet expectations. Based on our experience, I would not stay here again.
