This is a poorly refreshed Motel 6. I was surprised with a cash demand for deposit. The rooms I purchased were not the rooms they gave me. The bed was good. Except for the bed bugs.

Room was updated and served its purpose well for an overnight stay. The $60 cash deposit upon arrival, needs to be stated in the reservation. A sign by the front desk does not cut it for an online reservation. I have not used a cash deposit at a hotel in over 10 years, only credit. Sounds like the owners are too cheap to adhere to industry standards. Luckily I had some cash on me, I would not have paid a ATM for this.

Gave me a room that was all ready occupied. The staff wasn't even aware of this. The whole place smelled awful, stale smoke & weed odors, musty smell & pet odors in hallways. Ants & roaches all over. Didn't stay, got complete refund. Don't be fooled by the pictures of the rooms, looks nothing like them in any way, shape or form.

Motel seemed clean. Our first room lock on door was broke reported to front desk and they gave us a new room. The new room air conditioner did not run good just giving air not cold air. Bathroom had 2 lights but won was out by the shower. Bath tub paint was peeling you would not want to bath a kid in it.
