Booked through Expedia. Rep called me about 10 minutes after booking, told me they were sold out and to call Expedia to cancel - even though it was already past the time to be able to cancel. Trying to deal with the "insurance" now to cancel. Pretty terrible.

Our stay was OK. About what you expect from a Motel 6. No frills, thin towels, etc. The air conditioner was very noisy and the room seemed humid. The location of the Motel is excellent and very walkable to food, drink, and shopping.
