I was okay staying there, felt safe, but the noise was a problem.
Pros:

The curb appeal was very pleasant.

Cons:

However, its location was right next to the highway and there wasn’t much sound proofing so I heard a lot of traffic noise! Plus the sink faucet dripped and was difficult to stop. When I told the manager, he seemed to be aware but hadn’t tried to fix it.

Absolutely Fantastic!
Pros:

The palm trees and grassy areas made it feel like a hidden resort. That’s right - a Motel 6 had a resort feel.
The grounds were clean and cared for.
I walked in to the office and a very friendly lady greeted me. Her name starts with a P. She had a warm and welcoming smile that stayed the entire time I was in the office.
The check-in was simple. She gave me a room key and explained where to find the room.
I entered the room and found it to be larger than most Motel 6 rooms. It was clean! Microwave, fridge, iron, closet, and clean towels. The bed was Motel 6, but the mattress was more comfortable than other stays at Motel 6 I’ve experienced.
It didn’t smell like animal (which can happen at Motel 6). It didn’t smell like bleach which sometimes they use to cover the animal smell. It was just clean. There were two sets of curtains (sheer and black-out). They looked more expensive than a typical motel.
There was a dining table and two chairs, TV, and AC/heat that worked well.
I was quite impressed, especially considering the cost.

Cons:

I had a fantastic stay! I have no complaints.

Extra Large clean rooms and comfortable beds for 2 nights was pleasant.
Pros:

The rooms are much bigger than most rooms. Plenty of floor space for our 2 baby beds. If you don’t mind very basic accommodations, this hotel was fine.
The large pool and patio around the pool was very nice.

Cons:

No coffee maker in the room. Coffee was available in the lobby.

Clean facility also great area for my dogs!
Pros:

It was a clean and well maintained property. Easy check in and out. Nice area for dogs to potty and the supplies bags! The room we had was 2 bedrooms we which was a wonderful bonus especially for my teenage grandson!

Cons:

But..the room was directly under the stairs also by the (loud!) ice machine and vending machines. In addition the laundry and station for the maid service was directly across the hall. It was very loud once they got started in the morning but I understood it's their job to get going early!
