Good Stay.

Our stay was very good. The only issues were not having our room cleaned one day (fresh towels were brought to us when we called for them) and not having one of our room key cards work (front office gave us a replacement card that worked).

This is the most inexpensive hotel in the area. The room was clean, as was the pool. But the place in general is run down, walls are thin, and the room had a musty odor to it that made it hard to fall asleep.

Pass this one on by....

This hotel was not the quality that Motel 6 usually gives. There was a bad smell in the room, and the phone didn't work. The only amenity given was coffee in the morning and at 7:30 am, it was lukewarm and tasted like it was still in the dispenser from the day before. At over $220 a night, this was a disgrace!

Clean but cold water only

I would have given them 5 stars across the board BUT of the 3 days we were there, we only took one hot shower. One day was cold water only and the other was barely lukewarm. When I called to ask about the water or concessions for the inconvenience they couldn't care less.
