I find this a typical Motel 6 that has undergone renovation in the rooms making the daily room rates more understandable & easier to reserve a room to stay. The tasteful colors of paint on the walls are soft gray & sone off white. I find the dark wood most appealing in the headboards, nightstands, desks, fridge & micro cabinet, shoe bench and the hanging clothes on hangers with shelf. My room has the barn floor wood look colors from light tan to dark brown variations of wood that is my favorite! I’m not sure if all rooms have the same floor or not? In my 3 days here so far with my extending dates I have been greatly disappointed that the 3 ice machines that I found while walking the grounds looking for ice you won’t find even one cube. There isn’t an out of order sign on any of the three. My room does have a refrigerator which I am thankful for because if I had a room with no refrigerator I would definitely not want to buy ice plus you need an ice chest/cooler/some way to store it to help keep it longer from melting. Do motels have large insulated chests in case no ice to be found? How great would it be that in the lobby in this situation there is a big chest of cubed ice for guests only and as the sign reads on one of the broken down machines “Please be considerate of others when taking a large quantity of ice to work. I don’t remember the pungent sewer smell outdoors all around the property when staying here before. Could this have bearing on the ice situation?

Meh..

You get what you pay for, i suppose. Its right next to Legoland and M6 was the cheapest option/closest motel so in turn did end up saving me a good chunk of money.
