Air quality
The room we stayed in smelled so bad like wet dog. I understand that pets are allowed, but it was so bad when we opened the door. They could at least take care of the air quality in the room.
Typical Motel 6 but with a very clean and large room that didn’t show a lot of age or wear/tear (maybe newer or recently remodeled?). The mattress was too firm for my preference but that seems to be typical of most Motel 6’s I’ve stayed at. Quiet area even though it’s off the highway amid other budget hotels and food stops. For the price it’s a very good option when you just need a clean but basic room in a safe, convenient, quiet area to stop for the night.
Customer service excellent. Bed comfortable. room clean.gap between door and jam big enough to see through and let cold air in. Sink leaked all over floor and luggage. Sink had no hot water
