No shampoo or hairdryer. No coffee ! For $100 I overpaid
Pros:

Not much

Cons:

Relying upon the 3 stars and good rating, this place fell short. Please adjust . Did not feel comfortable with the area. Run down.

Cons:

Noisy. No sound insulation meaning that noise from other guests and the nearby freeway was ever-present.
Location is remote, with no good eating options nearby.

Don't Stay Here
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Roaches, dirty rooms, rude service, he's a liar and a thief! I wouldn't recommend it at all. Red Roof Inn and Comfort Suites are the best. I have stayed with both many times over three years. I tried Motel 6 twice and that man is one of the worst owners and runs a shady business. The second stay didn't happen he stole my money. Refused the refund after telling the first booking lady he would, for her to call him on their business phone while she was on speaker from mine. She tried, he didn't answer, she told him she called and he called her a lying bitch.

It was a decent stay despite the cleaning that needs done. Staff was super helpful after having to find somewhere short
Pros:

Shower and AC after an emergency stay when our AC went out.

Cons:

Very dirty rooms. Half the lamps didn’t work, cobwebs everywhere, stains on sheet. We grabbed our own however so we did sleep comfortably.

Avoid this place if you can
Cons:

DANNY is the absolute worst at basic customer service. That man should not be working the front desk. He insulted and kicked out my husband and I because he could not find our reservation. Had the audacity to tell my husband I was disrespecting him. This man is in the wrong part of the world. Thankful in the end because the place is a dump and we found a wonderful place down the road that was clean and had decent staff. I hope and pray he is dismissed from anything customer related.

Very comfortable, perfect place for a good night’s sleep.
Pros:

There was no breakfast, but the location was fantastic. Easy to get to. the lady at the check in desk was very very helpful and the next morning her husband and her I found out, own the motel were very, very easy and nice to talk to. I will stay there again on my way, going back to Florida.

Cons:

Nothing. It was great thank you
