Hotel was great for price and location. We would have liked shampoo and a blow dryer in the room. Those of us who got the bigger fridge with the freezer loved that. That is important for us when traveling with kids. Big plus that it was close to Legoland.

Avoid This Motel 6 – Unacceptable Experience

I usually choose Motel 6 because it’s a reliable chain—you know what to expect. Unfortunately, this location breaks that trust entirely. Check-in took over an hour because there was no one at the front desk, and no way to get help. Once someone did arrive, the staff was rude and completely unprofessional, which was a stark contrast to the typically courteous service I've experienced at other Motel 6 locations. To make things worse, a cockroach was crawling on the wall in my room, which I photographed. Cleanliness and basic hygiene are clearly not a priority here. The management seems indifferent to customer experience. There’s an attitude of “take the money and deal with it,” which is incredibly frustrating after a long day of travel. If you're considering this motel—don’t. There are far better options nearby that respect your time, your comfort, and your health.

There was a bed and bathroom but that’s it. Even at a reasonable rate you would think there would be shampoo, extra blanket, hairdryer. Not even a cup of coffee in the lobby.

Smoke odor in a non smoking room.

My room was non smoking but it had a distinct smoke odor. It looks like the hotel tried to eradicate with a lot of disinfectant and air circulation. So the odor want their fault. I hope they charged the culprit big time. Since I was only there for the night and leaving early in the morning, I decided to let it go and just stay there. The hotel did try to eradicate the problem from a previous guest, so I won't fault the hotel. Buy they should try to make sure the room is fully smoke odor free for the next guest.
