The motel has a dated appearance from the outside, with worn walls and carpeting in the hallways. All rooms feature queen-size beds, providing a comfortable stay. However, since not all rooms have been renovated, we needed to switch rooms. The pricing was reasonable during Cinco de Mayo weekend, especially compared to other hotels that were charging double or even triple their usual rates. One major perk—the motel is pet-friendly, and there are no extra fees for bringing along furry companions!

safe to say i did not stay there that night.

The room didn't have any working air just a window to open. Located around the window was black mold. the privacy curtain at the window was plastic and was recking of cigarette smoke.The furniture was peeling apart and the corner couch wasn't accommodable. The floor was sticky and the sink drain was clogged with trash. There was a homeless man sleeping outside the main door. unsafe area. safe to say i did not stay there that night.

Motel 6 where they didn't leave the light on

Was asked for 30 $ to check in Early an I never was asked for money to check in at any motel ever especially when they had rooms available... I didn't get on the top floor as requested I was put on a bottom floor where the window didn't lock so very un safe for a woman 👠 staying alone

For the last 2 years each month for sevearl days this motel has given me an opportunity to feel a sense of normalness , stability, and grounding which my current living dituation has unfortunately deprived me of. The staff is always friendly, helpful and often go far above and beyond to ensure as a guest youll feel that you matter and any special needs can be accomidated, WHICH IS EXTREMELY APPRECIATED!! This motel will ALWAYS BE my home away from home.

The pictures on the website do not match the reality. The bedding in the corridor and room has a strong smell of cigarettes. It is very itchy when I cover myself with the quilt. There is also a very strong smell of cigarettes. Someone was taking drugs in the middle of the night. The room was filled with the smell of marijuana. Parking is written as free, but it actually costs $20 to park a night. I will not stay here again. I hope you will not recommend such a place to me again. I am very disappointed.
