Truckers stay here.

Out biggest complaint is that it seems like truckers stay here a lot and they left with their big loud trucks at 6am BOTH mornings we stayed here. It was VERY loud and woke us up. I understand the motel staff can’t help that but they should have warned us and offered ear plugs. We would have appreciated that. The beds were on the softer side as well so our sleep wasn’t good. Staff was friendly though.

Last minute for one night

Got the last room available... Corner room, 1st floor. Felt a little small but was fine for what the room was used for. Good water pressure. It, wasn't the first time I've stayed in a Motel 6 and I certainly don't think it will be the last time I stay at a Motel 6
