Stayed here for a concert nearby and for the price, it was just what we needed. The bed wasn't the most comfortable but it did it's job. Check-in was easy and the location was near food and gas. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Liked: Staff & service
The parking area was okay, it’s well lit but the around it is a fast food and cannabis dispensary so do the math. The room temp was cold as the AC is working. Little to no amenities considering this is a budget hotel. The staff are all very nice and friendly. They let me check in a bit early after I asked if it’s okay. I stayed here cause of Paul McCartney Got Back 2025 Tour.

If the Comfort Inn is sold out, this will do

We weren't told of the wi-fi, but we found it. The sink was weird; we couldn't figure out hour to close the plug to fill the basin. They have laminate flooring in the shower and bathroom and sink area they maybe shouldn't have laminate flooring. The beds were comfortable, and a/c worked great! Interesting that they had OANN, Fox News, Newsmax, and even Spanish CNN but not MSNBC. The HBO channels were having reception and buffering issues that may not have been Motel 6 problems. No kleenex, but they had toilet paper. The refrigerator worked great and nice sized! Attentive morning staff and never allowed the coffee to run out for long. I had modest expectations and they were all met. Excellent distance to the Acrisure Arena, but unfortunately not to a sit-down diner for a meal nearby. Would recommend if the Comfort Inn next door is sold out again.

Veronica at the front desk was more than accommodating..I appreciate her good sense of humor, her ability to be personable and understanding even in times that were not easy to comprehend. She never tried to avoid an issue, she took each one on full force and did it professionally. She is awesome. That's a hard to find employee right there.
