Too Much Noise At Night And The Management Team Didn’t Do Anything About It.

We showed up at 2:50pm for a 3:00pm check in. We were admonished for stepping on the lady’s clean floor and told no check ins until 3:10. It was off putting. However, when we can back hours later, the 2nd lady was very nice. However, the keycard machine was broken. Haha. Oh man.

Pool was clean, internet access was sample and easy access. Great employees 👏
It was clean, cheap and easy to check in. Only issue was that we unfortunately got a room next to the highway as we checked in at a pretty late time. Other than that a very solid motel for the price.
Have stayed in cleaner motel 6 all over the state.
We stayed in room 126. There was gum stuck in the shower and the floors under the bed were filthy. The staff was great the pool was nice.
The cement around the rooms could use a pressure wash so walking from the pool to the rooms isn’t dirty.
Extremely comfortable. The lady at the front desk was beyond nice and even recommended a nice place for dinner. She was extremely helpful and made our trip very pleasant.

Just ok but it's Motel 6 so you get what you pay for. Clean property with nice staff.
When I checked in I was told by the front desk clerk they were fully booked. This meant I was not going to be able to request a ground floor room. Our keys did not work so i had to go back to the front desk to get them working again. We asked for a non-smoking room. And as soon as we walked into our room there was a distinctive smell of smoke in the room. The shower is super small, and condsidering all the space in the bathroom, the showers should be upgraded. Housekeeping was friendly and helpful.
We needed an inexpensive but clean and safe place to put our head down. That is exactly what hotel six did. The beds are comfortable. Everything was spotless in the room was as we hoped for. It was small, but satisfied what we needed. For Budget conscious people, you can’t go wrong.
