I am mostly worried about bed bugs and safety. I have gone to this hotel a few times in different rooms and I did not find any bed bugs, nor have I brought any home. The area is relatively safe and they have security cameras. I traveled with my dogs and the staff are always nice.

Cold shower temperature for the $253.00 I paid for 2 night that includes the $69.99 dollars for the deposit. Also, I spoke the front desk about this and wanted to only be charged one night. To find another place to stay where I could take a comfortable shower for the amount I pay. Which she said since it’s past the check out time I could not do so. Then I asked if I could be compensated a discount for the poor services. Which she replied the owner is out of town but I can get back to you. The next day when I was checking out of the Motel 6, she says no discount could be given when she checked with her management.

Beds are big and fairly comfortable. Inside room wasn’t clean. Towels probably need more soap or bleach, as they’re visibly dirty. Otherwise we liked the place and motel 6 is always a good deal. Would stay here again
