The area is not the best, but I kind of expected it. However, customer was not the best, receptionist was not the friendliest, there were some questionable stains in the restroom, they seemed like blood stains, a little disturbing.

Checked in at night, Raquel had very poor customer service skills. Room was really gross, spiders webs across the ceilings, stains all around, floor was dirty, bathroom didn’t work properly so we had to call management to come fix it. It was not the best stay.

A Motel 6 that proves why people hesitate to book

Let me start off by saying that most Motel 6’s nowadays aren’t bad at all. These are inexpensive rooms that work for a quick rest and carry basic amenities. However, from the moment we checked in I had a not so great feeling about this Motel 6. The woman at the front desk didn’t want to be bothered with business, it was incredibly rude. Then we enter our room and I immediately notice that the sheets seem to have oil or grease stains. I didn’t even think to ask for new sheets because of how rude the lady at the front desk was. My husband and I figured “we’re just here for one night” - so we went to a local CVS to purchase a blanket. The bathroom doesn’t have an actual tub it’s just a fully open bathroom with a shower and curtain, so the floor was dirty. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Perfect practical overnight accommodations for pets. Relaxed atmosphere. Clean rooms. Only suggestion is having coffe makers in the rooms. Maybe reading lights above the bed. Maybe a light without fan in the bathroom or a mirror with light outside of the bathroom.
