The staff was friendly and helpful upon checking in.  The bed looked like it had new sheets.  Towels were clean.  But there were a lot of odd smells permeating the hallway, torn carpeting, and my jacuzzi tub did not look like the picture.  It was in need of re-caulking, painting, and sketchy looking.  However, the inside was clean and it worked.

Tom Bodet is leaving the light on because otherwise you might not feel safe here

Staff was very nice and friendly. enjoyed my stay. Would recommend to friends and family. Room was neat and clean when I arrived. Staff always helped when I needed it. House keeping was great. And coffee was good.

Good hotel

This Motel 6 is a newer renovated Motel 6. First, loved that the doors to the rooms were interior not exterior. Makes you feel safer. The beds they have changed to are orthopedic memory mattress’s. No springs in them. It was not too hard nor too soft. I slept so well. My wife and children did as well. Every staff member we came across were always smiling and friendly. Very accommodating and helpful. They are per friendly but that is something Motel 6 is known for so one can’t complain about a dog that may bark or several for that matter if they hear another one because that’s a huge selling point for the Motel 6 brand. And face it our pets are no different than our kids. Walking distance to many stores, restaurants, bars etc. I was very shocked that we enjoyed ourselves, my family was very well taken care of, our room was clean and comfortable. I was shocked because I read some reviews and figured we would just stay the night and change our accommodations to a different hotel the next day but we stayed the whole week. I have come to realize in my 54 years of age and 29 of them being a Chiropractor that you can’t believe what you read. If you choose to stay at a budget friendly hotel then quit writing bad reviews that a Hilton couldn’t even accommodate to make people happy. Only thing I would Recommend is to change the carpet in the hallway to a more neutral color because the black shows everything but by no means did that affect my stay, my sleep or the cleanliness of our room. 

Clean room comfortable orthopedic mattresses prime location excellent customer service 

I’ve stayed in more than a few Motel 6’s in my life, so I’m pretty familiar with what to expect. That said, I have to say I had some serious concerns with this one. Though the staff was friendly upon check in, I must say that was the only bright spot in the experience. The biggest (though not the only) issue was that it was a ground floor unit with a big window that anyone can walk up to. This isn’t an unusual model for Motel 6’s, but the alarming thing was that the window didn’t close (see attached pics). It had obviously been broken into before and his not been repaired so it left a gap of approx 2” that would allow someone to easily break into the room. All I could do was to take the curtain off the curtains and jam it into the window to try and keep someone from opening it more. This is a serious safety concern and needs to be addressed ASAP.

Scary Experience

The room was tiny but tolerable. The bathroom had no toilet paper but the desk person brought it right down once informed. The place was jumping with noise and music blaring and an old guy wandering the hall asking for money. All of that solved with ear plugs. The bed was good, the pillows fine, the TV selections were plentiful. 

Bring Ear Plugs

The manager and staff are wonderful. They work with you and get you into the right room type if you book the wrong one. The beds were so comfortable. You only get 2 pillows which is normal but they will give you more of you ask. We enjoyed our stay. It was safe very quiet for being completely sold out. Dog friendly is a plus. Will definitely be back again

Clean comfortable accommodating safe budget friendly hotel

For the price, this hotel ROOM was  clean to the eye.  The bathroom was rundown looking but clean.  The bed was very firm so if that's not your thing, then don't stay here. The TV didn't work.  The room smelled like stale smoke even though this is suppose to be a no smoking motel.  When we entered the lobby to check in, we immediately smelled pot.  Obviously people are smoking here.  The signs posted everywhere state no smoking w/i 25 ft of building yet people were sitting outside right next to the building smoking.  We didn't feel safe due to so many people loitering outside.  Also, our check in person, although friendly, made us wait while she had a personal conversation with the person in front of us.  Not impressed.  Wouldn't stay here again, and we've stayed in some pretty rundown places.  They do have free coffee in a common area in the mornings from 6-10am. There are plenty of restaurants near this location.  If smoke bothers you, I would avoid this place.  For the price, I can overlook a lot of things, but when you advertise no smoking and then allow it EVERYWHERE, that's a problem.

Not Going Back!

The bed was actually comfortable which I was leery of because of the frame it was on. Daniell training Jalisa did not slow down check in. She even asked us if we minded letting her walk the trainee through the check in process. Hot coffee and good water pressure. All in all I will definitely recommend and stay again 

All in all I will definitely stay again and also recommend

The host at front desk Kelly , was a be polite and helpful staff member there she has a great upbeat personality wasn't rude was very understanding and helpful very welcoming as well very understanding to the needs of a customer. 

Nice place to call your home for the stay you be there, 

The new rooms and beds were comfortable. Staff was amazing and loved the Christmas spirit. Cannot wait to return in January 2023 because this is where I will be staying. A lot of stuff within walking distance of this Motel 6. Several things we seen we want to try when we travel through to head back home.
