Booked online and ran into problems with that. But the staff was more than patience and worked to figure out the issue. The hotel is being remodeled, so it still had work to be done but the completed part of the hotel we're very nice. There is no smoking and a fine will be applied. But pets are welcomed. There is a security fee that I didn't know about. But the staff lowered it security fee to accommodate us. The staff is really what made the stay nice they had so many problems but they communicated the entire time. I look forward to going back when it's finished being renovated. Weekly rates are also available.

I booked for La Quinta, so I was very confused as to why it lead me to a motel 6. After 10 minutes when someone came out to greet me, I asked “is this supposed to be for La Quinta” he responded with “Any pets” and proceeded the check in process. The lobby smelled like food, and both elevator and room reeked of urine. The room was gutted out except for a bed, night stand and tv. Didn’t look like the pictures. So 12 feet of emptyness made it very hard for the room to cool down to 68 from 80. Kept it on high the whole night and still woke up semi cool. Didn’t need any covers. Rodents in the restroom. I would use the excuse that you get what you pay for. But I had a way better experience right across the street for same price. Only gave 2 stars because I didn’t die.

Horrible

This stay was horrible when I arrived the front desk attendant didn’t greet me at all. He didn’t explwhere my room was I had to find it myself. Then when I got to the room there was a trash can under the sink because the sink was leaking when I turned on the faucet. My second couldn’t get into the room because the front desk guy was being rude and wouldn’t let them in it was an all together horrible experience.

Never again for any Motel 6

Everything about this one is dirty, and the said to be owner doesn't care about the property nor the customer's. The place need an inspection date. Don't waste your vaction here, you will be sorry the moment you drive up, then very disappointed once you walk into the lobby. The room I had for the moment was a view of a dirty pool. So, if you had room 207 on Tuesday evening. You got a clean room because i cleaned it, then was put out over front desk giving me a roll of toilet paper. ALSO, they won't let me add the pictures, I guess because it's going to make hotel.com look bad to.
