Even though the room is non-smoking, outside the room is full of cigarettes smell. The AC unit made a loud noise.

I stayed there for a few months and I must say how quiet the place is. The rooms were nice and clean. There is always someone at the front desk at all hours to help you when you need help. Vending machines actually have things you can eat and not just snacks!! Employees were very kind and helpful. No regrets in booking at Studio 6!!

Room was very nice. No hair dryer. Pool was closed. Had to interrupt staff on their cell phones when I had a question or needed something. Not a secure hotel. Too many open doors.

Parking lot wasn’t full at all, but seems like they wanted everyone in the same area. Neighboring room was loud all night. Room was decent. Didn’t like they put me in a handicap room. Hallway was disgusting. Had a bad smell.

The room itself reasonable clean without any bugs as far as I could tell. The property is run down - halls look and smell like something out of a horror movie. It got me off the road when I was weary, but wouldn’t recommend.

Unfortunately had a couple next to me that were high on something and continued to yell and scream at each another for 3 days straight, hallways carpet stained and smells of someone smoking pot. Also put down 100 deposit and left the room spotless with same amount of towels and sheets and pillow. I wased all linin and towels my first day there and day I left. Still have not recovered my deposit of $100 back and still no explaintion why. Has big nice inside pool which of course if was closed , hotel in good location if Ownerr would clean up the place , kick out the trouble makers and hold your rental customers to standard of keeping the peace and quiet and no drugs allowed, could be decent place. In mean time Do Not stay here
