Cons:

Housekeeping could have been better, had to chase clean towels and ended up dumping our own trash.

we were very greatful to have a quite and convient place to stay with our pets when needed.
Pros:

The room was clean spacous and convenient. Our pets were free. The location was good and easy to get to. There was a good gas station and convienient store right next to the motel. There was plenty of parking.

Cons:

The mattress was old and lumpy so not as comfortable as I was hoping for . There was a swimming pool and hot tub on the property which unfortunately was too dirty to use. The Shower and towels could have been better

no volveria a reservar en ese lugar
Pros:

Desde que llegue no hubo atención personal aun cuando había gente en recepción, todo era a través de una maquina y si había dudas y se le preguntaba a la recepcionista atendía de mala manera, me asignaron habitación y estaba sucia aun cuando me cobraron un early checking, en todo el tiempo que estuve nunca le hicieron limpieza a la habitación, había olores feos que salían de las habitación, en ciertos momentos los ladridos de las mascotas de los huéspedes no dejaban dormir

Cons:

No hacen limpieza y entregan las habitaciones muy sucias, el WC demasiado sucio

Pros:

Lo que me gustó más, fue la ubicacion

Cons:

La instalación ya es un poco vieja. Tenía muchos sucios en la gran parte de la habitación y corredores, el personal es poco atento, no pudimos utilizar la alberca porque se encontraba sucia, el internet súper pésimo no tenía Wi-Fi en la habitación y la señalera muy débil De la red, las camas para nada cómodas

Very disappointed
Cons:

Usually the motel 6’s don’t have the best reputations and this was one of them. As we walked into the room there was harsh smells, the blankets smelled like they hadn’t been washed. There were spiders in the bathroom and some cockroaches and other insects in the room. Too bad I didn’t take pictures.

Melissa's stay for two weeks
Pros:

I really liked the staff they were friendly to me and always very nice and helpful.

Cons:

I didn't like that the pool wasn't heated and the jacuzzi didn't work at all. I'd have be really liked to use those. Because you advertise them, so you need to really keep them up and running. People want to swim all year around
