Not bad at all
Place is good for the price they offer. I didn’t spend a lot of time at the hotel so it was a good place to rest my head. Bathroom towels were crazy small though.

Misleading pricing; No regard for policies and law
So some of the staff here are pleasant to interact with and take a customer centric approach to their jobs, unfortunately some do not. And it’s like the saying goes, a team is only as go as its weakest link…

No thanks
The staff at this hotel are wonderful and the location is central but everything else is really downhill from there. It’s cheap but you get what you pay for. The pictures are not accurate for this location. The property is dark with poor lighting. The room was ok but I was not comfortable that it was actually clean. The outside of the property was dirty. There was not proper lighting inside the hotel room. It was just not good overall. I do not recommend unless price is the only priority.

How Low Can You Go
Not sure what other Motel 6's look like but this was a deplorable property. Not the Motel 6 of my childhood. Front desk staff was nice enough but the building, elevator, stairwell were disgusting. Room was what appeared clean but it was hard to get through the rest of it. We received a full refund and moved to another hotel.
