Room was not ready due to staffing shortage, but I got a room on 2nd floor instead of ground so that was good. Had to have cc present so glad I had a back-up.

It's certainly not worth the price to be honest. Yes, it's a great location, no doubt about that, but it's a Motel 6. There is absolutely nothing more than what any other Motel 6 offers.Though the rooms do have a cool vintage feel.... Still doesn't make it worth the price. I was a little taken back by the front desk dude when I asked him to break a $5 bill so I could get a soda from the vending machine and he said he didn't have change... So I asked if the vending machine gives change and he said yes, in quarters. Well the vending machine did not give any change at all, so when I went in to tell him, he proceeded to open up the drawer and hand me the $2 I was shorted by the machine .. Why he wasn't just honest in the first place about having change for my 5 made no sense to me. I definitely did not appreciate that at all. The girl working was cool though.

The location is perfect and there is easy parking which is nice. The room is extremely small and doesn’t have a microwave. I loved the decor of the room and everything looks newly updated which is nice. Our room wasn’t the cleanest and the bed sheets were extremely scratchy. I only stayed one night and for the location it was good but I don’t know if I would stay here again in the future.
