When I first arrived the first room I checked into was disgusting. It smelled like mold unfit to stay there. I went told the desk clerk and was moved to a much nicer room so started off. Not good. They made it okay

I stayed there for a few months and I must say how quiet the place is. The rooms were nice and clean. There is always someone at the front desk at all hours to help you when you need help. Vending machines actually have things you can eat and not just snacks!! Employees were very kind and helpful. No regrets in booking at Studio 6!!

Room was very nice. No hair dryer. Pool was closed. Had to interrupt staff on their cell phones when I had a question or needed something. Not a secure hotel. Too many open doors.

Parking lot wasn’t full at all, but seems like they wanted everyone in the same area. Neighboring room was loud all night. Room was decent. Didn’t like they put me in a handicap room. Hallway was disgusting. Had a bad smell.

The room itself reasonable clean without any bugs as far as I could tell. The property is run down - halls look and smell like something out of a horror movie. It got me off the road when I was weary, but wouldn’t recommend.
