Photographs showed a separate bedroom from living space with a couch and kitchenette with cabinets. This was not what was delivered. Received a studio room, no kitchenette, no separate living space. Pictures need to be updated. The motel is falsely advertising their rooms.

Employee/staff member was very irritated at check in stating he had called multiple times for an update on a check in time. I had no missed calls from anyone. Bed sheets had stains and seemed to be unclean, as well as towels. Not the best stay but it did the trick for my stay.

As soon as we pulled in the owner came to us and said we needed to pay for parking because we had a big truck. We were the only people in the lot and there were tons of spaces as we were in the back. He harassed us about cash for parking two days in a row. We went to another hotel as we weren’t comfortable there anymore. Rooms show updated in photos and they are out dated. Beds are smaller than what they list them as and you pay for. Motel 6 needs to investigate this one

Weekend Trip w/ pets

Clerk was super friendly and professional. I traveled with my pets so he found a way to get me a double bed room, which was extremely nice. The location and grounds were impeccable. Definitely would come again. Only downside was that the shower was a bit dirty but you can tell it was more of a water stain, not actual dirt that was overlooked.

I didn't like the guy at the desk. He called me a liar and wasn't very professional. When it was time to check out he was very impatient and knocked on my door every 10 min after I was there for a week. My funds were late and I was going to stay until he harassed me and made me load my car with my cats. All he had to do is give me a few min to transfer my money. Then when I finally finished loading everything the money was there and he asked if I wanted to stay. I just laughed and he said well maybe next time and I told him there won't be a next time. I was even going to offer to help clean the place up because there was alot of trash on the property. And the laundry room was filthy. The dryer didn't have the tube that connects to it to push the heat outside and it just filled the laundry room with hot moisture that was so terrible I had to prop the door open. I could have fixed that myself too. Anyway the guy was a jerk and blamed it on the boss and i asked to speak with his boss he refused to let me speak with him. The place has potential if it had better management.
