9/10 Wonderful! (1,553 reviews)
The staff was very nice. The room lacked anywhere to put things - no dresser, only a few hangers, no shelving or anywhere to put things in the bathroom. For a room that 'sleeps' 4, it sure was difficult for us to manage our belongings. There was literally nowhere to put a thing! Grab and go breakfast ...

The hotel was dirty, floors were dusty, walls were dirty, doors hardly closed. They placed us in a smoking room which is not what I asked for. The shower floor was cracked and had burn marks. The toilet hardly flushed.

Plenty of parking. Ive stayed many times there. Most of the staff is pretty nice. Check in was quick. They always put me in the back of hotel when I request room by front desk. Breakfast is good. Waffles, cereal, yogart, milk and I think there is toast as well. I could be wrong. Dont quote me on ...

The room was clean, everything (A/C, hot water, appliances) worked fine. The only strike against the property is the WiFi. It was unreliable, working most of the time, just slowly. And they changed the password with no notice, so I had to return to the office get the new one. Also, the room key card ...

For the price this place is a good deal. It is an old basic property and about what you would expect for a Motel 6 that is older and not updated. The neighborhood is not the best. I just needed a cheap place for one night and I felt it was about what I expected. The guy that checked me in and the ...

Parking was fine. Local police were called 2 days in a row. The first time for an altercation which didn't affect me but they knocked on my door to ask if I knew anything going on. The next day because of a cracked out vagrant who was on property. They were jailed and left their personal items on ...
