Smallest Motel 6 Room I've stayed in.

This is the smallest Motel 6 room I have ever stayed. Everything in the room was cramped including the split bathroom door that only opens outward into the main room. At best, this room should only have a queen sized bed instead of 2 double beds to make it comfortable for the travelers. There was a bus load of high school soccer team staying there at the same night and the noise carried on til midnight. Also, I was charged at the front desk more than the amount of my reservation through Hotels.com. Motel 6 and Hotels.com needs to figure this out because Sandy at the front desk could not explain why that is. She is very helpful though, not her fault.

The property and the room was very well maintained. Beds were comfortable. Good for a motel 6. My only complaint is with the pipes, we could hear loudly every time someone opened the faucet or the shower in the room above or next to us. Luckily, nobody showered in the middle of the night.
