The area and some guests a little sketchy, but it’s a Motel 6. Rooms are cheap and very clean and comfortable. The rooms facing Denny’s can get a little noisy.

The staff was the best part of my stay. There was a dog that promptly started barking 1 hour before my alarm went off. The motel is run down but I only needed that room for one night and paid $152 for a five hour stay.😕
Not sure where the dirty ring on the safety latch came from?
Bathroom door warped from moisture.
Noisy, blue contraption for odor control.  I was able to shut it off.
Room door didn’t seal all the way shut.

Had to have desk manager come clean room some because of an order in the room. It helped some, but didn’t completely remove odor. Also had a cigarette type burn in the curtain where you could see outside or inside.
