Good

I reserved my 1 room online paid. When get there. Manager proceeds to tell me i had 3 reservations. And would not remove any of the other 2 reservations that i did not make. So i pays for 3 rooms for 2 people. I will not use this again
Staff was friendly and let us know where to go for good Mexican food. The room was clean, bed comfortable, but its definitely outdated but for the price, it worked out for us.
Lets see, well there was a car on fire in the parking lot when I arrived which i assisted in putting out with pool water, the check-in clerk was literally coughing up a lung the entire time, the room was decent for the price but the in the wall AC unit sounded like a plane taking off all night and there were 4 very large roaches - dead - on the floor in the morning that were not there when I went to bed. Other than that it was a lovely stay.
Room was not that clean. They seem to have used some furniture polish on the floor, which made it damn hard to walk on. This will be my last stay at any Motel 6 anywhere. Service has gone way down.
Clean, comfortable and accommodating. Stayed here before and I’d do it again!! Great price, cleanliness and service!

Horrible
The bed was so uncomfortable & hard … the sheets were stained. Of what? Who knows. Outside of the inn it smelled like a dead animal .. it was disgusting & disturbing.
They advertised breakfast, but if there was, it was cleaned up before the 9:00 ending time. We saw a waffle maker, but no signs of waffles or any other food.
The curtains in our room needed to be fixed to hang correctly.
The bathrooms are always in need of some repair. This one had a few rust spots I. The shower/tub area. The shower curtain was torn at the top. I’m not saying it was bad, just not 5*
The man who works the front dress and breakfast area was very rude to me, just because their key card didn’t work for me though I slid it in the usual way twice. I’ll never go back there.
