Alex an Yadira gave me fast, friendly and efficient guest service. Tha Carneceria across the street has delicious tamales and I really enjoy them for breakfast. This motel 6 is near bus stops and it is easy to get to restaurants and shopping.

It was decently clean but it smelled awful like cigarette smoke, probably because we were on the first floor and people were smoking in the parking lot. still, affordable and what’s to be expected from a motel 6. the front desk was nice. thankfully we had febreeze in the car which helped
