Staff was friendly and helpful. Typical Motel 6. Two story, enter from outside. I requested a room on the ground floor. No Problem. Quiet, Clean, Comfortable, plenty of hot water. There was a restaurant connected to the building. Great food there with great service. Nothing missing, broken or not working. I'd stay there again.

You can tell that they try to maintain the property but I did find a bedbug in my bed. And the coffee was weak and watery.

This place was just what we needed for a quick overnight stop. Very convenient parking outside of the room door. Room and bathroom were very clean and smelled fresh. No carpet, the floors were clean. Shower pressure was fantastic, but the drain was super slow. The bed was ok. Wish there would have been a hairdryer. Attached diner was convenient and had good coffee.

I do not know how the ratings were so good for this property. The room had a strong chemical smell and was not very clean or nice. The people that stay long term there were sketchy and partied late making a lot of noise. I’m pretty sure there was a drug dealer visiting them in the parking lot. I would not recommend!!! The cafe attached to the motel was pretty good.

I really liked this Motel 6. Very convenient, safe, comfortable, good clientele. I was hoping to get to enjoy the lake and walking trail just across the street but the weather didn't allow it. I did wait out the storm having breakfast in the nice little diner next door. I would definitely stay here again if passing through.

No hair dryers in room. No sign to let house keepers know not to enter room. Dirty floors and walls. Sheets and mattress were stained. Staff was very nice. Ok for last minute stay,. Outlets for phone chargers didn’t work at all. You could yell they were broke.

It was the second time we stayed at the motel. It has a refrigerator which is a must when we travel. The room is clean We can park in front of our motel room door. It feels safe. It is near a walking trail. Also there is a mom and pop type restaurant attached to the motel building. It is a convenient location off of I 40

We were pulling a 24' enclosed trailer so we couldn't go to most hotels, but we had plenty of room to park. The room was clean, tv worked, plenty of ice and places to eat that could be walked too. Can't get any better then that

Hotel room is comfortable and clean. Outside is well maintained. We were traveling with a fifth wheel trailer and had no problem parking it in the lot. We have stayed here multiple times in our travels south.

We were so pleased when we opened the door and the room was clean, layout made sense, all the faucets and showers worked perfectly. Outlets by each bedside table. Parking was easy and the grounds were clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly and professional. Would stay here again!

Just a gross room. Cigarette burns on comforters. My clothes smelled like cigarettes after a 1 night stay. Room was noisy, i could hear every whisper outside the door and the highway sounded like it was right outside my door. I felt like i was duped by the reviews and photos. Room was cheap sure, but was possibly the worst hotel room Ive ever stayed in. No country for old men vibes

The bathroom smelled badly like urine and the room smelled so strong of perfume or deodorizer. I wonder if it was meant to mask the urine smell. It was so bad that it made me feel ill and I ended up sleeping in my car overnight. I was excited to find a place rated so high for only $70, but would have rather paid more for a lower rated room that I would have likely been able to get a good rest in.

Heater looked and functioned like new. All repairs unusually well done. Modern sink/counter/mirror/toilet/etc well installed. Very clean, pleasant light fresh smell when we walked in. Comfortable bed/pillows. Modern, new and thoughtfully positioned electric receptacles make a huge difference. Great value, very pleased. Internet access very easily accessible with good WiFi signal, but slow. No breakfast.

The next morning I told management we did not need room service, but they went in anyway. I have never experienced this at any other motel I have stayed at. They do not provide “No Disturb” door hangers. I guess this is so they can go in whether you want them to or not. The fact that it was management that went in after being told not to was very unprofessional.

Shower/bath had brown water. I ran it for a minutes and still brown. Shower never reached a warm level. I didn’t bother washing my hair after shaking with a November cold front. Very disappointed, Motel 6 is supposed to hold the standard of good beds and hot showers. Received brown water and a cold shower.

Selected motel based on high ratings. Room and facility are ok, but the “air freshener” used by the facility was so strong in the room, it was inhabitable. Husband and I both had burning eyes, throat and sinus, Was told to talk w/Expedia/no refund. Either way, we left to find another hotel. Very disappointed, in strong odor in the room, no other option offered.

The room was immaculate! Quiet all night long. There's a restaurant right next door or 2 within walking distance if you didnt want to drive. The staff was amazing and super friendly!! Recommend 3000%!!

every thing good, but coffee maker in room wou d, be appreciated. Coffee was in office area, but it's nice to have a lst cup to get moving towards the office. days Inn provides them in each room. You need to be competitive as their prices were less than yours and had way more. :) good stay tho :)

This place is nothing more than a polished turd. Place looks dirty no matter how much paint they put on it. Door seal has 1 inch gap letting the lovely heat, cold, and sunlight come in your room all hours of the day. Staff shows up every 3 days to take your dirty towels out. Ppl fighting in the parking lot. Management is useless.

I was on a cross country move from Tennessee to Arizona and stayed here. I slept for maybe four hours and woke up to a bedbug crawling on me. Went to tell the front office, and the woman at the desk was zero help. She proceeded to ask me where the bedbug was like I was gonna carry it with me or something. I asked to change rooms (it was midnight and I was still tired). She proceeded to tell me she can’t do that and offered no resolution. Terrible service.

The room was not the cleanest nor the dirtiest I’ve ever seen. One of the beds sounded like it was about to break. Overall, I personally would never stay at this hotel again and that is just because of the lack of comfortable bed and not being as clean as I would like. Definitely the pictures were misleading to what we actually ended up getting

I don’t usually do this, but the trip was good till the last night! Around 5 pm, my gf asked if they could please quite their dog down, all we got was attitude, so we let it go, till about 7:30 i asked him again if he could turn the radio down, she said fine, 10 mins later i could gear him mouthing off, ivwent back out and there was a confrontation, mind yiu, im a stroke patient! Anyway i convinced him it was in his best interests to turn it down, then he waited till about 9:30 and snuck some homeless in! Front office doesn’t seem to upset, so i won’t be returning!

We’ve been traveling with our dog for the past couple of weeks and this was the first hotel that had bags to scoop the poop. Also, it’s the first one to have ice in their ice machine! Very clean and nice front desk help. The fact that they didn’t charge an exorbitant pet fee was great!! Some other places charged more than the room rate. My only complaint was there were no tissues—I used a lot of tp with my allergies.

Good place to crash for a night or a quick stop. Lock on door was broken, which was a little concerning considering the constant parking lot activity, but we had no issues. Very convenient location for a quick stop during travel - nearby many restaurants and convenient stores. Hotel was fairly clean, no major complaints, but could definitely use a good deep cleaning more often.
