The team at this Motel 6 is award winning. Their staff is great and accommodating. The age of the property does show particularly in the bathrooms. And an overhaul for their ventilation would do wonders. But it’s clean, the beds are comfortable, and the air conditioning works. The job gets done for the price.

It’s a clean and decent place to stay for a budget room. Not much food late at night when you breakdown and we’re not planning on staying. The service was great and the people were very kind. Thank you for making a bad situation at least peaceful for the night! You rock on hospitality!!

When we started the shower water was cold but the staff was great they helped fix the boiler. If you are disabled or limited to walking there are no elevators. Close parking fills up too fast. They offered morning coffee no breakfast food items. There was free wifi. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable.

Pictures of the room not Accurate at all.

I booked a 2 double bed room based on the pictures on Hotels.com webpage. No way did the room look anything like the pictures. It wasn't a double bed but a oversized twin. The property did not clean the room but would give your towels if you picked them up from the office.
