Pretty nice for a Motel 6. Some damage in the bathroom but everything was clean and functional. Not having any drinking water except for buying bottled water was a bit of a bummer.

My recommendation is to only stay here if you’re desperate and have no other option. The first room we were given was disgustingly dirty- the floor was visibly dirty with hair and dirt, and one of the comforters had a large cigarette/cigar burn in it. We promptly went back to the front desk and asked for another room. That room, while it was in better condition, still had long hairs on the floor, hair and dirt along the baseboards in the bathroom, and smelled like mold. The beds looked clean, and we were exhausted, so that room is where we stayed. Never again!
