Pros:

The location is very nice and it’s on very much updated Motel 6

Cons:

I paid a cash deposit, which the manager can see on his end and he was refusing to return it to me unless I brought back the receipt so I spent two hours looking for it just so I can get my deposit back I think it’s a pretty simple system that if I paid cash or if it was on my card they see on their end right there but you were telling me that you wouldn’t give it to me without the receipt did not sit well with me

A dangerous and dirty place
Pros:

This is a dangerous and dirty motel. Even by Motel 6 standards this place is scary. Homeless people sleep on the walkways outside the rooms. There are verbal altercations and threatening behavior during your stay.

Great stay...
Pros:

Location very close to Walmart and Food 4 Less, McDs, Arbi's, and many more for food and shopping. Quick access to freeway and local destinations. Rooms are comfortable and had a microwave in mine. Everything worked as it should and plenty of parking spaces and safe at night.
