Decent stay, but Definitely Not Worth the price

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The automatic kiosk check-in was pretty cool and convenient, which made the arrival process smooth. The room itself was small but clean, so no complaints there. However, the bath towels were ridiculously tiny—you couldn’t even properly dry off, let alone wrap one around yourself. On top of that, the sink’s water pressure was way too strong, causing water to splash everywhere every time I used it. Another downside was the presence of homeless people around the hotel, which made the area feel less safe and welcoming. Overall, the stay was okay, but definitely not worth $100 per night.

Stay somewhere else.

There is a person on a computer screen who checks you in, even though there is a live human being sitting behind a desk. It is ridiculous and the practice is revolting. The room was overpriced and dirty. Do not recommend unless you have no other option, I should have just slept in the car.

This was perhaps the best motel 6 I’ve ever been to; room was in perfect condition! Quiet air conditioning, USB ports, fringe and microwave, and large countertop was just some of the nicities. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well.

We didn’t even end up staying at the property because it was so dirty and gross. Spent the extra money to stay at a different hotel for peace of mind. A lot of long term rentals at this property. There was dirt, chip crumbs, and dog kibble on our floor. The room had a terrible smell to it. Staff was willing to sweep the room but overall it just didn’t feel safe and that wouldn’t have helped the smell.
