It was ok overall
It's a motel 6 I wasn't expecting anything over the top but the room was dirty, it was given a landlord special on so called remodeling of the rooms. It had a funky smell that of old smoke mixed with mold. The bed was comfortable and AC worked with no problem. No iron, no shampoo or conditioner. Microwave and fridge in room. See pics of bathroom shower

The staff is very kind. The only issue I have every time is that they half clean the rooms. If it looks clean they’ll leave it as is. It’s always hair left in the shower, sink and on the floor. The sheets aren’t changed all the time,it looks clean but will have hair in the sheets. The bottom of the toilet doesn’t get clean. Used towels get folded and put back. Used towels still were still hung up behind the door. Used soap was still in the shower. I stay here a few days out the week because I travel for work. It’s very decent for the price of your booking online. It’s better than Super 8

One bad bed and a nasty roach!
Check-in was great, the employee was very nice and we had a few good laughs. When I went to lay down and go to sleep the springs in the mattress were coming through so to speak. It was midnight and the area was sold out. Fortunately, we had two queen beds and my daughter and I now had to share. Really defeated the point about two separate beds.
But for the best part, in the morning I was getting ready and I opened the shower door and there was a roach!
We had to go through all of our stuff dump it out and make sure we weren’t bringing any of them home with us.
Not very happy overall with the stay.

First clue-hotel receptionist sits behind security glass. Stains on the walls, poorly patched holes in the walls and doors. Sheets were stained, paper thin blanket. We slept in our clothes on top of the bed. Look elsewhere.

Bedding was gross. Room was so so. Don’t know when it was remodeled but they removed the carpet and installed laminate flooring. Left more than a one inch gap under the room door. Heard every conversation and screams in the hall. Can’t expect much for $60.
