I've stayed at this motel several times now over the years, and I keep choosing it. Despite being a "cheap" motel, they seem to care about the customers, the property, and their reputation. The staff are always helpful, kind, trying to have a positive attitude. Customers should notice this and give the same. They don't have a lot of staff, so the couple of people there are doing a lot of jobs. It's pretty clean, the machines are stocked, and the outside is maintained. One time I had a TV that didn't work right, and they stuck with it until it was fixed, and came right away. On this visit, I got a call from the front desk a couple hours after I checked in, just making sure everything was okay. There is a nice dog area in the back, with bags to pick up doo-doo. Even though there is no breakfast, there is coffee in the lobby. I've never had a problem with cleanliness in a room. One time I stayed there was a lot of cigarette smell in the hall of one floor, and fans going, but that was only once and never any other time. It was summer, and I suspect someone was in a room and refusing to comply with non-smoking. There are obviously people staying here who are without other homes, and it seems to me there is peace and they are treated with dignity at this Motel 6. Once I heard a staff on a call with management, and he was talking about something which showed me that he was being careful and professional about a possible customer situation and safety for all of us.
