Cons:

The bed frame went out too far, my daughter kept hurting her legs on it. The soap was very cheap and there wasnt any in the room, we had to leave the room to ask, when I tried to call for more towels I was left on hold for more than 20 mins.

It sucked.
Cons:

The shower pan had sand in it even though it was just cleaned when we moved in. The rate was 200.00 a night for a pitiful room. The hotel in on the freeways and the noise was beyond sleeping. the person in 125 was arrested with sheriffs pounding on doors at 3:00 am.. No maid serfvice and even the towels were not replaced. Beds are unfortable. and room is very small. A very sad choice for $200.00 a night. Never again at motel 6.

Extremely unpleasant due to unaddressed cigarette smoke in our rooms.
Pros:

Good location, relatively cheap

Cons:

Our room smelled very strongly of cigarette smoke to the point where it was making us cough and have irritated throats. This room was clearly labeled as a non-smoking room. When we let the front desk know about it, they said that they couldn’t move us to another room because they were booked out and that deodorizing it wasn’t an option because it was late. Basically they couldn’t help us. We attempted to ventilate the room ourselves by opening the window and running the fan, but the smoke smell didn’t dissipate all the way. The room was made up when we got there so it’s inconceivable that the smoke was not noticed, and they assigned us to there anyway.

Friendly and helpful staff, good location, easy walking distance to town and near by bus stops if you don’t have a car,
Pros:

It’s located within walking distance to shops, gas stations and main town!

Cons:

It could be great if they were able to upgrade the amenities around swimming pool area.
Refreshing curtains for the showers and windows it’s needed.
