The sheets were dirty. The toilet seat was broken and they charged me a $50 early check in fee, while they gave my mom the early check in for free.

It was ok. After all it’s a motel. Can definitely say the price is what you get. Just needed somewhere to stay the night and it fulfilled its purpose.

Checking in with a person threw a computer was a little different but still easy and great service. The room was clean but has some cosmetic issues, chipped floor and paint. Its wasn't a bother though, you get what you pay for getting the cheapest motel around. My only complaint is the pool was closed down/ out of order and i purposely made sure to get a motel with a pool, so that was a let down for my son.

Decent stay, but Definitely Not Worth the price

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The automatic kiosk check-in was pretty cool and convenient, which made the arrival process smooth. The room itself was small but clean, so no complaints there. However, the bath towels were ridiculously tiny—you couldn’t even properly dry off, let alone wrap one around yourself. On top of that, the sink’s water pressure was way too strong, causing water to splash everywhere every time I used it. Another downside was the presence of homeless people around the hotel, which made the area feel less safe and welcoming. Overall, the stay was okay, but definitely not worth $100 per night.

Stay somewhere else.

There is a person on a computer screen who checks you in, even though there is a live human being sitting behind a desk. It is ridiculous and the practice is revolting. The room was overpriced and dirty. Do not recommend unless you have no other option, I should have just slept in the car.

This was perhaps the best motel 6 I’ve ever been to; room was in perfect condition! Quiet air conditioning, USB ports, fringe and microwave, and large countertop was just some of the nicities. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well.
