For Motel 6, the rooms were clean. The girl in the office was not friendly. They were somewhat unorganized. You need to ask for blankets though. The gentleman who is cleaning the rooms was kind enough to carry our luggage down to our car for us as we are a little older. Nice guy!

If you need a place to sleep for a night, this is it. I would not recommend for a family. The room and bathroom weren’t clean. Bad odors in both areas. There were bugs on the bed sheets. Good part overall is it’s pretty close to the village and the go karts.
