Just a place to sleep and get up and go
- Melissa (1/5): -

- Terry (7/5): -
- Christine (8/5): Very quiet rooms, good beds, nice shower and wash area. - Surrounded by mature trees adjacent to quiet neighborhood Cement floor on exterior gallery and railing are in rough shape. Stairs could use a cleaning.

- Amy (5/5): Not good - The staff was friendly The room was kinda gross. There were crusty stains on the curtains. Hole in the wall. The beds were not comfortable
- Rafael (10/5): -
- Jordan (6/5): Wouldn’t stay again - Room was very clean Terrible pillows
Uncomfortable bed
Price was way too high
Small bathroom
- Cody (1/5): Place looked horrible! Absolute joke! Manager should be ashamed and fired ASAP! - I reserved a room prior to my stay and got a confirmation number. When I called the motel as I was on my way, they mixed it up and had to re book me. They even asked me for my room rate, which they should have known. Exterior of building looks horrible (paint chipping, rust, parking lot, doors, etc. all looked like weathered away). Room door was difficult to shut/lock. Bathroom dirty in general (toilet, shower, floor all needed serious attention). Found 5 bugs crawling around and a lot of dead ones. No fridge or batteries in the TV remote. Floor in the room needs replaced or carpeted. Blankets/sheets stained and/or had holes in them. Very unacceptable. I won't stay at a Motel 6 ever again and will try my best to stop anyone else from booking a room there.
- Savanna (2/5): - The woman at the front desk was nice. But they greeted me with thank goodness you're here bc we were going to cancel your room otherwise. There were bugs in the room and dead ones in the bathroom. The toilet was so low to the ground. Barely any towels for the 3 people scheduled to stay there.
There was so much fighting heard from other rooms, my daughter was scared to fall asleep. The next morning the same front desk woman told me about the fighting and said " some people just can't handle drinking."
- Dawn (2/5): Dump - Nothing, Way over priced, not a hotel, it's an apartment complex. Lots of noise and activity all night, floors were not clean and burn marks all over the shower. Definitely trashy. Not worth 105.00 dollars.
- Briana (6/5): -
- Jesse (8/5): - Reasonable cost. Nice bed Something in shower drain. Looked like a large wad of hair I didn't use the shower.
- jOHN (6/5): -
- David (5/5): There was roaches crawling around - I was able to get a good night sleep I didn’t like the property
- Jennifer (8/5): -
- Charles (1/5): -
- Andrea (3/5): Had available room at last minute but I killed a couple roaches in my room - Close to gas station Cockroaches
- Sarah (2/5): - Nothing Beds were hard, no breakfast , small room , toilet ran all night

- McClintock (9/5): -
- Cram (2/5): - Had roaches, parking lot was messed and dog crap everywhere.
- Karen (8/5): -
- Katelyn (8/5): -
- Christian (9/5): Definitely gonna book a room here again if I come back. - The location was right where I need it to be for my trip. And the room was much nicer then I expected.
- Shilo (1/5): Horrible and disgusting room with roaches. - The location is so that I liked, nothing else Pretty much everything. Didn't get what I had booked online for for a much smaller and disgusting room/bed. The shady people everywhere outside always watching you like they are looking for someone to rob. The staff at the desk when I checked in wasn't very friendly and were not very professional. So I just left a few hours after checking in and went somewhere else because I didn't feel very safe.
- Shelly (8/5): -
- Catherine (5/5): Decent room for the money. - Location was good for us. Floors were dirty and the bedding had a bad odor to them and stains.
- Kikone (9/5): -
- Loretta (10/5): -
- Avila (8/5): -
- Kelly (6/5): Weary traveler - The room was a pleasant suprise (clean) and comfortable, not a lot of noise.
Gal at the desk was nice and efficient and courteous. The outside of the building is terrifying, the doors to every room looked like they had been kicked in at some time, the exterior has rust and blistering. I was reluctant to check out the room, which ended up being a stark contrast to the exterior.
The hot water was not up to par.
- McClintock (7/5): No refrigerator or microwave but price was right so little complaints from me - Was clean shower was nice 👍 and bed was comfortable no microwave and refrigerator in my room but was only there for a few days so I made do. And given the price I paid I'm not gonna complain to much so for the price and a roof over my head and bed to sleep on would say it was worth it an all honestly I can deal with the no microwave and refrigerator. No coffee maker or microwave or refrigerator but Casey's just up the street along with a quik star I'm not gonna be too mad about it. I'm a cook by trade and a good imagination so I can handle that.
- Sutton (7/5): -
- Jeffrey (10/5): -
- Emily (5/5): Good choice for a one night stay - Great location for a one night stay! Clean room with a working television and WiFi. Double charged us after we checked out of the room and took awhile to have it fixed.
- Randy (8/5): - The price, location and the friendly staff. Lack of coffee maker in room
- Allison (3/5): - The staff was really nice and was there for check in. The area seemed relatively safe The room had issues. Toilet wouldn't flush and the sink wouldn't drain. The shower was really weird they built so it kind of sprayed all over the floor. A little lower quality than what I would expect or whatever experienced from other motel 6's. Also the microwave malfunctioned at one point and burned a heating pad of mine and like literally lit it on fire.
- Lebatard (10/5): - Everything Notting

- Eliseo (2/5): - I did not sleep there they bedbugs smell like crap
- Harris (4/5): -
- Morgan (2/5): - I stayed there for 3 weeks, my booking day was up and I was unaware. They banged on my door at 11pm demanding I open the door and go downstairs to pay, mind you I had been in my room all day and night. I requested to have them use my card on file or to take care of it in the morning and she refused. Worst customer service! Plus them charging my card for 134$ twice with no explanation, waiting 3 days to get it credited back to my account.
- Chris (4/5): - Bugs roachs no fridge or microwave. Stains everywhere. Some Staff are nice thats about it.
Noise
- Justin (2/5): - There were roaches there. And could never bet ahold of management imagine that
- Ceryl (2/5): - Beds were alright, no refrigerator. Building is very run down, rooms aren’t too much better, I felt like I was staying in a homeless shelter it was just all around an uncomfortable stay.
On the plus side Rooms were generally clean not perfect but not filthy and didn’t smell too weird so that was a plus lol
- Ellen (8/5): - The outside is dated, but they have done a nice remodel in the rooms. Comfy beds. Very clean.
- Kevin (6/5): - Clean room, comfy bed.
Too noisy from I-80, pool closed with dirty water, most renters were living there.
- Wilondja (10/5): -
- Norton (8/5): -
- jessica (2/5): - Where do we start? At check-in I was surrounded by a couple of meth heads in the teeny tiny front desk area. I felt as though I had to keep looking over my shoulder as I unloaded my vehicle to go to my room. There were multiple rodent traps surrounding the property. The exterior of the property was very rundown and a very bad look for this chain. And apparently they offer month-to-month rentals, which was disheartening to learn because the people who occupied those rooms were shady characters to say the least! The room was nicely updated, but the shower itself was a joke! It smelled of a sweaty locker room and the shower head was mounted to the outer rim of the shower stall? This was a first to see? And it was a shotty job at that! Will never stay here again! Disgusting!
- Ashley (2/5): Not so good. - For starters our door knob wouldnt even stay on! Crackheads everywhere, the hotel doesnt even offer or HAVE little shampoos and conditioners on the property, my kids got to witness their first dead person (overdose in the hotel), nobody cleaned our room, or even got our trash from in front of our door. Not to mention for all the above stuff mentioned the price was outrageous! Over $130 a night! Only good thing was they are pet friendly.
- Chris (8/5): - It is a nice hotel right off the interstate and easy to get in and out of. Staff was very nice and the room was just what I needed for my stay/
- Brenda (2/5): - Asked for nonsmoking room. Smelled like smoke!! Hair in the shower. Bed was awful.
- Jay (6/5): - Room was clean.
- Jonathan (8/5): Exceptional value. - Exceptional value.
- Smith (1/5): What a DUMP - Nothing there was no night stand no alarm clock. There was hair in the sink we didn't even stay there we decided to drive back home 3 hours at 12 am after a concert
- Monika (10/5): - Everything was very accommodating and modern. Definitely impressed with the rooms for the price and location.
- frank (6/5): - Everything overall was good the only negative for me was the bed could not get comfortable on it.
- Emma (2/5): DISGUSTING DONT STAY HERE!!!!! - The place was absolutely disgusting with stains all over the bed, disgusting toilet and shower, many cigarette/burn holes in all the blankets, many sketchy people around which made us uncomfortable. We ended up not even staying the night and left halfway through our one night stay. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!
- Aubry (6/5): Good for one night - The place looked like it was falling apart a bit. There was multiple occasions where people where banging on our door, just for them to leave as soon as I open the door. When we were leaving we saw a big roach on the wall
- Neha (10/5): - Everything you'd want in a motel, although the bathroom wares were old-looking.
- Ian (2/5): - If you're looking for a good place to hide out from the mob or buy drugs, this is probably a great place. For everyone else, stay away!
- Gary (10/5): - All went well
- Cameron (2/5): Bad - There was food options? Bed comfort was non existant
