I was given a room which was steeped in cigarette smell, horrible… and the room phone didn’t work either, when i tried to call front desk. Finally called from my phone and they gave me another room which was ok. But too much time wasted in the whole process.
Very easy check in and check out process. Hotel was quiet and clean. Good location and plenty of street parking.

The room was one of the smallest doubles I've ever stayed in, both beds shoved against the walls with a narrow aisle between them, very dated interior, bedframes falling apart. A lot of mdf furniture in poor condition.
Nicely appointed modern room with lots of pleasant lighting. TV, fridge and microwave all worked great. Convenient in-room large dining table with booth seating and extra chair. Available laundry machines, vending and ice machines. Free, good morning coffee in lobby, friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Where is my follow up call regarding my refund that’s isn’t happening fast enough ??!! I would never never never go to that motel 6 again EVER! As a former assist Gm w/ similar chain this place is horrible !! I mean at least we tried & we had customer service skills and loved working in hospitality!! Those employees act like we are bothering them !! Stayed sat only only because I did not want to leave until I spoke with hotels.com and my brother stayed only in went elsewhere
Great coffee, bowling, restaurants, banks at walking distance. It’s a motel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was very clean, well priced and spacious. The only downfall was you could hear all the traffic going past. We thought the window was open, but it wasn’t. We were staying there just for one night to be close to the airport and it was perfect because the airport was only five minutes away nice staff, and coffee in the morning.
