nice hunting trip.
When I got to the motel, I informed them that my son was unable to come with me. I had booked two beds at $51. When I told them about my son not coming, they lowered the price to a single and gave me the same room. It was an enjoyable stay. Thanks, Robert

Looks and smells moldy
When we first walked into the room we were instantly hit with a musky moldy smell. There was mold growing on the shower curtain. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable. There was hair on our towels. The staff was very friendly and the room was less than half the cost of the rooms on South Padre Island, which was a half hour drive away.

Overall experience at Motel 6
I liked the location and staff. The motel was missing certain stuff, like an iron, blow dryer and maybe a coffee maker. I stayed in alot of hotels, so didn't bring an iron, big mistake!! The room smelled humid, all the time we were there, we had to open the window, to make it more confortable.

In Hotel
Brownsville, Texas, is a small town but the hotel is close to all shops, the zoo, and near the beach. Brownsville has its own beach boca chica on the street, and very near to the Padre Island but much cheaper and comfortable.

had to be assertive
Had to change to 3 different rooms. 1st one wasn't ready and smelled. 2nd one no refrig ,microwave, or coffee. 3rd up graded to a Studio to get those for an added cost. Charge of 2.99 for internet. No breakfast at all. Others in area give more for the money. Room was clean and air worked.
