Overall exceeded my admittedly low expectations. Had a 5-night stay here due to visiting family and had a lot of preconceived notions about Motel 6's before checking in. Decided on Motel 6 mainly due to cost and the very generous dog policy (pets stay free). Rooms seemed to be recently remodeled, clean, and bigger than I expected (205 sq ft). Also didn't encounter any roaches as mentioned by other reviews. Housekeeping would knock on each room for cleaning in the mornings, but were easy to dismiss with a quick word with them. Overall had no issues.
Everything was great! Thr bed was comfortable. I can only ask for better maintenance because mold was found here and there as was mild leftovers from previous clients.
I had an incredible stay at this motel! Teja and Sony at the front desk were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The rooms were spacious, well-maintained, and spotlessly clean, offering a perfect balance of comfort and convenience. The housekeeping team ensured everything was cleaned and refreshed on time, which was greatly appreciated. The peaceful ambiance of the location added to the overall charm, making it an ideal place to relax and unwind. Considering the exceptional service and amenities, it’s truly great value for money. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay!
This is an amazing motel 6. The staff (especially the people at the front desk) are absolutely amazing. They are very accommodating and have helped me with so much. The rooms are clean and nice. I highly highly recommend! The nicest people ever :)
Best bang for your buck in the area. Don't mind the haters. They're babies that cry too much. Noor always takes care of me when I stay here. She's legit.
Noor and all the staff were very accommodating rooms are clean and comfy I recommend 2 times and 2 thumbs
Amazing service, clean rooms. Really better than I remember. The last time I had them was probably 2015. Wally Jo's THUMBS-UP. Additional info: Rooms, clean. Parking, plenty free with the location. Wheelchair friendly. No diner just vending, washing, and drying machines.
Front desk is very helpful and has fast check in. Owners are nice couple who work hard! if i could give 6 stars i would.
