The staff was very welcoming and the room was clean and well kept. If you stay on the west side of the building it can be a little noisy due to the freeway next to the building. However, later at night the freeway traffic lightens up and there is less noise.

This was just a quick stay and will be the last I ever stay in a Motel 6. I guess you get what you pay for. The outer part of the hotel was doable. When we arrived, there were tweakers right in front hanging out. I booked a non-smoking room and the room smelled like cigarette smoke. The office staff weren’t that friendly. Straight to the point and that was it. We returned at night to sleep and there was this guy smoking two doors from my room. I felt that it wasn’t safe for my family & considering the location it didn’t seem like a bad area. Pillows were super flat, shower was insanely installed in reverse and the floor got super soaked. The TV channels were not clear at all. Again it was just to sleep but I think it could’ve been a bit better.

Complete Disappointment!

Cleanliness of the building was terrible and the room was even worse. Room was not clean, not designed for people with mobility issues. Too many things to mention regarding the room that were not acceptable. Vending machine room only open twelve hours per day and the ice machine was out of order for the entire time we occupied the premises. Elevator was a disaster too. Not a good experience and my expectations didn’t come close to being met either! We won’t be back to stay at this location again!

To be expected really

The office phone didn't work so I couldn't inform them of my arrival time. The room was the smallest motel room ever. There was no soap provided. The grounds were dingy. The shower floor stained. The door to the bathroom was very large and opened into the already small room.

Needs improvement.

Cost wise it was okay, however there is a deposit that the website doesn’t state there is and when you asking the person checking you in she stated I’m not sure why it doesn’t say that on the website but it’s cheaper than most places. The cleanliness was bad there was acrylic nails from previous people on the windowsill, horrible odor coming from the bathroom, the shower was dirty, there was blue painters tape holding pieces that seemed to be falling off in place. The place was over all very dirty. We stayed a few days & weren’t offered towels or any room service during the stay. You get a very uneasy feeling staying there. It was a last minute quick trip so wasn’t expecting much but we definitely won’t be staying there again.

Rooms appeared to be updated but floors were dirty. Bathroom and shower had patches and mold. There was a smell in the whole room as if there is no air circulation and its just swampy in there. Checking in/out staff was really nice and friendly. Located in front of a shopping area and lots of food options. We were just disappointed in the condition of the room.
