Pros:

Easy to get to.

Cons:

The facility is in desperate need of a renovation and update. I've stayed in plenty of Motel 6 locations and this one needs the most help. The homeless are very present on site.

One additional disturbing item to note. Walking downstairs to leave for breakfast, noticed a steak knife on top of the garbage. Came back 30 minutes later and steak knife is gone but nothing else in the garbage was disturbed or changed.

Pros:

The location was very central to our needs, it was easy to find.

Cons:

I booked a non smoking room. This room smelt heavily of cigarettes.. it was hard to sleep as even with the air on the smell was heavy of cigarette smoke. It became so much worse when we had our showers. The tub and toilet were littered with cigarette burns. And the floor was filthy. There was no signage to indicate that this was a non smoking room either.

If this is a non smoking room it is recently so.. I would double check with the front desk if you choose to stay here incase you have a smoke allergy. We left first thing in the morning as we had a hard time with it .


I booked this place specifically for the pool so my kids could burn off steam during our 2 day road trip. The pool had been filled in with cement! When asked at the front desk we were told ," oh yeah, that should have been taken of the web and booking sites a long time ago." !!!

Pros:

I always like Motel six. It’s no-frills. It’s always clean. They have a small refrigerator and a microwave. They could’ve used coffee maker like they did at the hotel I stayed out the night before. That was nice. But the staff was fantastic and I really can’t complain about anything else.
