The room was clean. I did have to call the front desk after midnight as there were a bunch of people outside my room (at least it sounded like it) just having a good ole time. I needed my rest as I was driving across the country and needed my sleep. Thankfully the people did leave shortly after my call.

Didn't feel particularly safe. Took a while to get to the hotel and find the office. You can see it, just hard to get to it. Noise from the interstate was plenty loud. I booked it by accident, won't make that mistake again.

Car Not Burglarized: Faith in Humanity Restored!

If you like camping at a homeless shelter, you’ll love this Motel6. The swarms of police cars in the parking lot made me feel safer than if they weren’t there at all. The semi trucks rumbling the overpass on I-35 all night provided a gritty nostalgia for old apocalyptic films of my youth. One of the drug dealers nearby commented to me at check out, “This place is a real sh*thole.” This may have been a missed opportunity that I do not buy or do drugs. Enjoy your stay in paradise!

Stay elsewhere if u can

Place is so run down and the parking lot and people staying there are not safe to be around. The guy checking me in was on the fone with his banking (disputing a charge or something) and didn’t speak great English. I had to ask what side of the property is the safest to park on, that’s how rough it was. Then while checking out, another gentleman said “man, this place is a dump” .. so I wasn’t the only one thinking this. Pool was tarped off and closed. After seeing there clientele, I understand why. But all that being said if it was about half the price I paid, I would have said I understand, but it wasn’t even a cheap hotel, for being so nasty, dirty, and dangerous it should cost way less to stay there.
