Poor sleep, clean motel.

It is a Motel 6. Expectations were low but for $140, I expected more for a location with a good rating. Positively, the reception person was pleasant and quick and the room was very clean. After that the location did its best to meet my low expectations. When we got to the room, the fan was on in but not the ac. The room cooled very quickly but everything remained damp and sticky all night. As usual for a Motel 6, we could hear everything through the thin walls and people were in the halls until after 4 am. To top it off, someone received a key to our room and tried to enter at 3:30. Absolutely, inexcusable! It was hard enough to sleep but now I was wide awake.

Only if you're on a budget...

Didn't have our room ready so gave us different room and not right beds. Had to have them reclean the floor in our room. Beds were ok. Towels were very small and thin. No ice available. Kind staff though.

Horrible and wouldn't stay again

The beds were comfortable but the room its self was dirty. You could see daylight from holes around the air conditioner. The hallway to the rooms was trashed and I dont think the air worked in the hallways. Cars in the parking lot that looked like they have been sitting there for 6months with flat tires. Would give it a 3/10 and wouldn't stay again unless I was desperate
